I thought that the Tekken wiki said Lars was modeled after you

Lars looks like hes about to pull up and start playin Yu-gi-oh

I can't "hate" any character from the Tekken 6 cast because I mained Mokujin. It meant I needed to learn everything (some bnbs, etc.) 😂

Main man should make his ultimate combot in tag 2 fight lab

Are we all just not gonna mention that Lars was in Ultimate Ninja Storm 2?

Best Tekken would be a Tekken with: Tekken 7 Balancing Tag 2 Roster Tekken 6 Story Gameplay & Customization Tekken 4 or 5 Stages and Music Tekken 4 Story Telling and Atmosphere Detail of Tekken 4-6 in some ways (Dvj looks more develish in 6 than 7. Characters leave trails through snow in 6, etc.)

I still remember thinking Lars' f,F+2 was an Electric Wind God Fist variation, watching very early gameplay footage of him on KZfaq. Now that is a nightmare-inducing thought.

I really wished they didn't remove Lars' DF2. That was one of the tools Lars' players utilize to counter button mashing opponents and jabbers.

Ironically Lars is one of the characters I found the hardest to get into. Same with Lili who's also supposed to be a "pick up and play" character. Jin clicked with me

So that's why I had a harder time beating him when my brother picked him

He was my first main I ever use. I can't forget how much fun I had with him, and he's still one of my main, even though I rarely use him now. P.S: I manly used him because his stance reminded me of Goku's😅.

Why MMS hates characters. 1- they're better than Mishimas or 2- they're easier than Mishimas. And if they were both oh god he wishes you don't exist

Loving the vids on the older games. I got into tekken with t7, so it's cool to see how everything has been changing and leading up to what we have now. Great content Main man

Im from the future and DF2 is back in tekken 7

It's embarrassing to say, but Lars is the reason I got into Tekken. Some friends brought Tekken 6 to college once and I was drawn to Lars because of the easy buttons and the Goku hairstyle. From there I learned about the Mishima story from TMM and I never looked back.

People complaining About lars old df2 when basically every df2 in T7 are safe, high crushing launchers

I thought he was the coolest character ever when I saw him

Insane how this video could be made for Tekken 8. Every problem Lars represented in Tekken 6 is prominent in 8

I don’t think Lars was as ridiculous in Tag 2. It mostly the tag system that made him ridiculous.

I’ll be waiting on that Tag 2 Revisit

Lars is my favorite character. Started playing him during the PS3 days when that free Tekken game was still up

I dropped Lars in T7 simply because he didn’t have his Tekken Force suit.

"DEYA" -Lars, 2007

Instead of Twilight 2 outpost 2... They should have given us Mystical Forest Electric fountain Hidden retreat

I'm getting tag 2 and this game is what made me start with lars

This is the only Tekken where I actually like using Lars. Its not because he's top tier or anything, the customization in this game helps him not look like a stupid Yu-Gi-Oh! character with a cape.

Hey MainMan, while you're talking about Tekken 6 I'd love to hear you talk about Wang, he's one of my favorite characters in the whole series

Seeing df2 again for Lars puts a wide smile on my face.

Defo can feel your pain in regards to Lars' lack of Swedishness. DOA6 introduced a Finnish character who turned out just to be a loli with electric blue hair. Speaking of DOA, Marie Rose was even less identifiably Swedish as Lars.

Lars was the character in tekken 6 i became a tekken god with in ranked. old times.

Two more things: First, d/f+1 as a mid poke, had awesome properties. Comes out at i13, only -1 on block but +5 on hit, and crushes high jabs. Second, his sidestep was one of the best in the game.

Lars has the same voice actor as Sukuna in Jujutsu Kaisen...let that sink XD

I'd love to see an analysis on Zafina! She sucked in T6 and never really got a chance to shine :c

Honestly? I fucking love this Lars costume

T6 was the first Tekken I took seriously and I picked Lars and I loved using him. Now I know why I was able to reliably use him lol

If you weren't planning on it, can you do a video on Bob as well? I'd like to see what made him so good in this game.

There's a lot more reasons as to why Lars is bad in Tekken 7. Basically, he has all the problems he had in previous games (risky lows, VERY vulnerable to ssr, no frame traps), he carried them over to T7, and then got hit with the nerf hammer. Namco saw what was wrong with lars and did two things: They made ws2,1 +3 instead of +2 on hit (meaning that if you punish something with ws2,1 and you do a df1 afterwards, it doesn't trade with ws4 like it did in season 1, and you'd lose the trade), and they also added DE3, which got nerfed in season 2 because of the wallbounce introduction which is mostly garbage. DE3 into b1 was uninterruptible before they made it a wallbounce and changed its plus frames. But that's what he needs: Either: moves that leave him + on block, or, if you actually hit a string/ a fucking ws punisher, don't make him trade with a ws4 and lose in the end. Also the automatic transition into his stances is a completely unnecessary change that hurts the character, even if they made it so that you can cancel the transition by holding back in season 2. Like, was it supposed to help new players pick him up? Was holding D after f1,2,3 that hard? He also suffered indirectly because of the wall dmg boost everyone received. As TMM said, when you got wall combo'd by lars in previous games it stood out, pretty much nobody had that much damage at the wall. Now most characters deal high dmg at the wall (sometimes higher than Lars). The bound system also was pretty much *made* for him, as he was considered the main protagonist. The screw system in T7 doesn't benefit him as much. Still my main, and as you said, it does feel very satisfying winning with him in T7. Still a competitive character, just takes a lot of work to play him at a high level.

I remember beating a kid that mained Lars using Hwoarang, it felt really good.

anyone has those funny gifs with Lars that TMM mentioned in the beginning of the video?

Anyone here after Lars Tekken 8 trailer

Thanks for t6 stuff.my all times favorite game

Tekken 7 is the first game I learned. I spammed buttons in all other Tekkens. So I just mashed buttons with Tekken 6 Lars and he did amazing things.

No wonder why he is in every cover photo in tekken6 arcade gamebox

"I don't hate him anymore in Tekken 7" TMM 2019 I salute you for forgiving my main

I am a certified Lars main since tekken 6 br was released. Lars is really a strong character back then. Up until now I still main him. No matter how the devs nerfed him, Im still comfortable of using him in every battle.

Thanks..this is the video i was looking for. Never played t6 so i was wondering what made lars so strong in t6

I just love Lars man. I’m just a casual gamer so I get some wins with him in Tekken 7

The background music is soooo good.

Lars being half Japanese is good enough for them let him stay with his Japanese VA, Junichi Suwabe is a pretty popular Japanese VA atm so I dont think they will switch to a Swedish VA anytime soon.

I remember an interview with Caiper (Lars/Feng) back in TTT2 begining of T7, and he said that on high competitive level, you couldn't see one single Lars. That he did not understand why Namco made him so weak for T7 when he obviously is not a top tier. I kinda agree that Namco heard the cries from noobie-boobies rather than the actual results on tournaments like EVO or that sort.

Lars was so disgustingly OP in Tekken 6. I loved dominating everyone with Lars' UF+3, DB+3 and DF+2.

i dont why ppl hate lars. it's literally is the best character in tekken 6 and ppl call him b class. they say its hard to play. he has the easiest and best combos. pretty decent damage too. very nice wall travel. HE IS THE BEST CHARCTER TO PLAY WITH HIS COMBO STARTS ARE VERY FAST TOO YOU CAN APPLY THOSE COMBOS ANYTIME AND ONCE HE STARTS HE JUST DRAG THEM TO THE WALL. HE IS THE BEST

lars in tag 2 is a beast

I still remember all of his moves

It feels like he's writing a 100k word essay

He was perfect in TTT2.

this guy Lars has had it tough

0:41 Leo also doesnt feel German..... but he is my cutie pie boi

Sickest track from tekken. One of those tracks that you gurn the shit out of ur jaw from mandy.

BRO what if they had a mode where you could pick different versions of characters? Like Hyper Street Fighter 2. Tekken 6 Paul vs Tekken 7 Paul sounds like a wild concept.

man i remember lars players in tekken 6

the moment we switch to tag 2 man everything just messes up good luck

I remember punishing my friends at Tekken 6 with his Magentic Knee that only required to hold the button down to break their neck instead of being a counter hit.

Literally king in tekken 7

I wish you talked about his df1 that tool itself made me buy n play Armor King

year 2022 and I didn't know how to use Lars since his first release

He is back

B+4 is actually 15 frames in T7 season 2.

TMM has to understand that overall character difficulty shouldn't have a huge impact on how good the character's tools are. Of course execution stuff should be rewarding (and doing an EWGF surely has huge rewards, whether it's on hit or block) but the standard stuff shouldn't suffer because of it. TMM's perception of optimal balancing would ruin fighting games.

I’ve always wanted to main Lars but his moves after those stances are hard to pick up imo

Lars and Nina are the most OP characters in Tekken 6

Me a tekken noob: hmm I like this guy *pick one of the hardest characters to master, aka Yoshimitsu*

how about a Tekken 6 (PS3) vs Tekken 6 (PSP) video? 😁

Lars is so strong in T6 and Tag 2 and now I feel like he needs more work BUT S2 Lars is much better 😍😎👌

I wonder if LowHigh has watched this video yet?

Interesting to come back and watch this after the season 3 patch of T7. I admit that I'm surprised to hear that you actually like the character given the subscriber gifs that you post, however, I do agree with you from a character design standpoint. I love his fighting style overall given the flair but I do wish that Namco would fix that hair as well as allow him to speak Swedish in some capacity. I mean given his background as a military professional and his nationality I figured that he should speak multiple languages. Anyway, thankfully he received some much-needed buffs with the recent patch I hope it places him in a spot where he's viable but still requires work.

Hell this character but in one of Naruto storm I forgot which one

I love tekken ever since the first but when tekken 6 release I love the this character and I will still play train with this character. I used him I’m tag and now tekken 7 even tho he’s mediocre to use because doesn’t have better tool then older characters I hate the nerf that give in a way better he’s still my main

Lars: ....yes.

Hi sorry to be offtopic but what tool are you using to draw over the screen?

8:32 - 8:34 (in 0.25x speed) TMM's Demonic look

Tag2 lars removes uf4 bound but replaces it with d2 and SE df1 bound. Can't complain plus the SE df1 in tag2 re splat the opponent in the ground after the bound (if you don't do a tag assault or if lars will do the final hit of the combo) and if they try to roll back db 2,1 can pick them up and re juggle the opponent.

Can you do a vid on lee in t6? I really think he was a really good character in that game. I want to see your thoughts about it.

Leo also blew up people at the wall in T6 tho😆

He’s the most riskiest player for me

His instant mids made everyone mad.

I still play tekken 6 doe more than t 7

We are blessed by the Church of Ora to have TheMainMan in the Tekken community.

Your next vid should be a fat bastard special with T5 Ganryu (who was a Steve Counter) and of course T6 Bob.

they also nerfed running 3 range and damage in T7

Best character design lol and look at that luscious hair haha. Haters and he had the best 3rd costume!

Bro dont diss lars

11:58 I dont know if you were talking about t6 frames, but b4 is i15 in t7

Buon pomeriggio amico mio mi sono iscritta al tuo canale sei grande🌹🌹🌹🌹

One of the top 100 viewers of this video. Yess!

Hey, I wanted to play Lars before it was cool.

I miss this Lars T. T

You must also try feng he is the most easiest character to learn

he didnt even mention how much longer b1's range was in this game. also archblast's range getting nerfed 2 games in a row is pretty insane... things that would get punnished in older games by archlast whiff now

He was Lerroy in Tekken 6
