It didn't, it was bamco that nearly killed the franchise.

It did about as well as any other fighting game that came out around the time excluding nrs games which always sell well
@@assassin8636 He said nearly, which is what I've always heard because the game didn't sell well. That's why T7 had a small budget, but luckily it sold really well, so there was a legit budget for T8.
My favorite part of all of this is Lee kicks Kaz in all of their tag throws, Julia ignores Ganryu completely, the character in each interaction is tangible
@@awwmahbreadsticks1094really? Damn I was kinda hoping for a switch version of Tag 2 ever since Kazuya joined Smash Ultimate because I heard that the Wii U version was the definitive edition of that game but oh well.
Tag 2 was such a huge improvement over Tag 1 when it came to the actual tag-mechanic. Despite the amount of characters having similar tag-animations, both that and the post-victory animations have a lot of charm to them. I'd love Max to rate the DoA tag throws one day, specifically DoA4, but that might be a tall order.
Tekken tag 2 was my first tekken since 3 and it was sooo freaking fun. I wish more people played it cuz its honestly better looking than 7, better customization, way more personality and more for casual fun and less serious.
There were also KO-specific items that fighters equipped that led to some crazy win screenshots. That REALLY got into the VS modes. Also love the Saint's Row: The Third ost playing in the bgm.
People mostly say good things about the game, it's just that serious players hated the online and everyone wasn't all over Tekken like today. Streamer and esports influence also weren't as big as it started to become during Tekken 7's life cycle.
Look at how much personality and effort went into Tag 2. There is just so much cool stuff to do and see in this game... what the hell was with 2012 and just EVERY SINGLE fighting game that came out that year underperformed massively. This game did not deserve to be one of the many victims and yet it was. It almost straight up sank Tekken even
Tag 2 is one of my favorite Tekkens ever. I don't care if it was unbalanced af, it was so fucking fun, and had such an energetic vibe to it. It was such a good game. Fucking love it.
19:07 like a lot of Kings moves this is a callback to the anime "Kinnikuman". To be specific, this was the tag-team finisher of the "Hell Mercenaries", the main antagonists of the Tag-Team arc, consisting out of BIg the Budo and Neptune-Man who were based on Andre the Giant and Hulk Hogan. The name of the finisher was the "Crossbomber", and when neptune-Man re-appears in "Kinnikuman Nissei/Ultimate Muscle" he was able to upgrade it to the "Fiber-Cross-Bomber" together with Wally Tusket. The upgraded form of this move btw cut off the opponents faces, which neptune-Man collected by pinning them onto his cape afterwards.
As a Westerner it’s a shame that I keep forgetting how big/influential Kinnikuman is. I know JoJo was like that for a while until the 2011 anime started making waves overseas, hopefully the Kinnikuman anime they recently announced can do the same for it
@@General_Weebus yes, but this one is a callback to this specific series. Heck, King and Marduk do the freakin Muscle Docking Finisher in his T5 ending.
I like games with teams that have unique interactions like these. It's the little touches like this that make a game you like even better in my opinion
If you want to move by Frame by frame use the small arrows that are above and next to the big arrow keys. When using the big arrow keys, you will move by seconds, the seconds can be set in your RUclips settings under video or somewhere near there.
3:15 and 3:23 As much as some may hate them, Lars and Alisa had some of the cleanest tag throws! Hell, I'd say Lars just has good tag throws in general, especially the one with Jin at 1:27
15:08 is underrated. Point is that the mother doesn't even attemp a punch, but leaves it to Roger Jr. who is at the pouch. His stubby limbs of course miss!
omg it was 4th grade and i remember finding out about this game and i latched ON like i watched all of the endings millions of times for fun and i eventually got the game like the next summer. i love this game so much it's up there with tekken 5 for me ugh
I will say this much for the Tekken tag 2 stuff, it has its moments and he still felt as a beloved part of the franchise plus the painful moments that the show in this rating video that Max is doing is quite a testament to it.
tag 2 was the biggest love letter to a franchise thats ever been seen, so much personality and charm being displayed through throw animations is amazing.
I love the random ass table so much. Tag 2 does have a place in my heart, but I also feel like some of the things that made it unique are also what killed it.
These were so freaking good. I know that the repeats are a big smudge in the whole collection, it’s still a lot of personality for combo attacks. Love Tag 2. ❤️🔥

The most slept on Tekken game of all time. Easily one of my favorites.
I loved this game it actually taught me how to play with more than one character and the bound tag moves were so dope!
@13:33 The way Hworang got jumped by two versions of the same dude and trying to defend (protect) himself is sending me 😂😂😂
Man *definitely* got ptsd
This video simply proves that Kuma is "Best Son of Heihachi".
I love that how much the characters get along in lore impacted their tag dynamics 😅.
TTT2 is one of the most fun Tekken games ever. It was a love letter to the fans and people shitted on it…
“Don’t ask me for shit!” - Harada.

I'm glad everyone has unique tag throws in Tekken Tag 2. Unique tag throws only existed in less than half of the roster back in Tekken Tag 1.
It was really cool that they brought in tag throws. It was something similar to what was in the Dead or Alive games in the tag mode
1:46 I didn't expect Jin setting up his Stance to PAWNCH on that one!
