A Tekken Tag Tournamnet 2 tier list was posted on Tekken Central by top Korean player Help Me that includes a letter grade for each of the characters on the roster including the DLC characters. AvoidingThePuddle's translator Dark Cheetos was able to translate the list for us and suspects that the S and A+ tier characters are listed in order of who is better in this iteration of Tekken Tag.

Trash Tier (this is how it was listed)
Dr. B
Mishimas on top as usual. Bruce and Nina surprised me though, i was expecting Law and Jun.
I can't take a tier list for a 3D fighting game with +50 characters with well over a hundred moves each and teams of two from just 1 player seriously.
Not the least bit surprised by Nina since I frequent her. I'm very surprised by Bruce, but then again he's probably my least played character in all of Tekken. As for Devil Kazuya, I never saw the logic in transforming back to regular Kaz unless you wanted to treat it like a taunt. If only regular Kaz was low on the list then it really would be a taunt.
Ganryu and Kunimitsu in a tier that isn't the bottom? Never thought I'd see the day! Kunimitsu, along with a few other new characters, probably need more exploration and will fall or rise accordingly.
This list looks agreeable for the most part, at least for now. Not surprised by Bruce at all. So much for all the people saying Law isn't good anymore...reminds me of the Lili fans. Just because they aren't as strong as the last game doesn't mean they aren't still good characters.
I don't know, I don't agree with this tier list all that much.
Jun is surprising considering how easy she can dictate and frame trap.
i have always told my friends baek aint THAT bad. and mine isn't even all that. Just people dont like to block low. . .
OH and P.Jack will always be THE BEST JACK HANDS DOWN
Is Violet that much better than Lee that he's a tier higher than him?
Dr.B i think can be good in the right hands. However most are extremely scrubby doing butt slide which is INCREDIBLY easy to punish its laughable. When more tech comes out we will be shocked.
@19
Ah, I see. Dang, I was hoping he was viable despite his bizarre movements.
Also, why is Tiger getting lumped in with Christie/Eddy while the other "clone" characters get a separate mention? I thought he had some different stuff while Christie and Eddy are still identical (iirc).
@ 20
He does, but I think since they are still super close in the tier list, they just lumped him with them anyways. I bet if they didn't, people would be clamoring "what makes Tiger better/worse" :P
Hmm, interesting. I'm gonna get this game soon enough and I'll play the characters that I normally play with: Lee, Marshall Law, Forest Law and Ancient Ogre. Might try out Asuka and Alisa.
I expected nothing less from the lovely Nina Williams.
looks more like a "whos my fav list". 1 player cant make a tier list for tekken.
I agree with Jun placement on the list. Asuka should be on the same tier as her, or at the very least they should've been both on A. For me Hwoarang and the Capos should definitely be A+ at least.
Tiger's b+1~4 is crap compared to Creddy. and his individual moves don't make up for him not having that amazing hit confirmable combo starter. Still he can do basic Capo mind games and turtle/rlx so he's decent but should be A-. If we even accept tiers, they're still not done with Mahvel tiers so who knows what Tekken is gonna be. Back to I FADE EM, I KNOCK 'EM DOWN.
Have any of you seen high-level Nina videos? She has that move that looks like you could juggle your opponent indefinitely. I'm probably being biased but I think Jun and Asuka should be A Tier. Jun should probably stay where she is though, but I thought Asuka would be with Jun? That's surprising...
Actually, Violet has better moves. He has a better Mist Step 3,4. A faster Mist Step > Sway 4. Violet's uf+3+4 actually creates a knockdown. And yeah, the Acid Rain Kick Combination (f+2:2:2, a just frame move that crumples at the end.)
Still, I'm not sure if all that makes him that much better than Lee.
