This RUclips channel is dedicated to Tekken :) The best fighting game to ever grace this beautiful planet!
Tekken Tag Tournament 2’s setting ironically looked more like an actual tournament than the mainline games lmao.
Yeah, cause it is an actual Tournament while in the actual games all the fights are happening outside the tournament and sometimes being recorded by some random ass drone it's only a few fights that take place in the tournament and most of them aren't even canon.
Lol in Tekken 4 all the rounds take place in like parking garages
For sure 💯💯
Man, i love this game. This is the game where i got completely serious with tekken. I learn most of the fundamentals of tekken in this game. Poking, spacing, okizeme, wall combos, wall pressure, and many more. This is the game where i learn, practiced, and refined my EWGF with Kazuya. And that tag mechanic, i love it. The many, many single player mode just really sweetens the game. I've had a lot of firsts in tekken with this game, so i could and would never hate this game. So, i'll look forward to your revisited videos of TTT2
Same
VERY VERY well said,guy..kudos to ya👍
King of Iron Fist the same way i would have to any B-movies or any so bad, it's good movies. It is so dumb but i just love watching the dumbness unfold lol
It's the richest Tekken in terms of single player content to date. And I like that.
I mean it got me into tekken competitively so i can't hate it.
Got me into competitive tekken and I still don't like it lol. Don't absolutely hate it though.
Same for me but trust me this game is too frustrating online. I played it like 3 months ago and knew why I enjoy Tekken 7 far more !
I like tag 2 but if you started competitively from this game, than I'm pretty sure I can beat you with my prototype Jack
I was no pro, but I loved this game so much. As a fan of the series, it was astonishing to see all the previous characters in the same game.
Started to learn tekken with tag2, it was Hard but also good because of the creativity
TTT2 is my favorite bro
Actually tag 2 had a dynamic resolution setup on consoles, ranging from 570p-720p depending on what is going on screen. It doesn't matter at this point lol, but digital foundry made a very detailed video about all tekken games.
Whiffed Breathing into Electric into Grandson, true combo
that made me laugh so hard.
I personally love the Tag games from a casual aspect, always a good time with my dad and my friends, and I love the revamped movesets old characters got like Jun and Michelle, even seeing characters I thought I would never get to see again like Forest Law, Tiger, Ogre, and Doctor B. Its was my literal wet dream having literally every Tekken character back. The tag system and combo possibilities was really cool.
That being said I can see how terribly unbalaced the tag games and thats a big OOF. I hope if we ever get Tag 3, they dont overcomplicate the mechanics.
Edit:In terms of the whole clone thing, I can accept the clones that were already existing characters(again as I mentioned before, loved seeing Forest Law and Tiger, and Im even fine with Miharu since she was a thing in Tekken4)....but some like Slim Bob and Sebastian existing I can agree is kinda dumb
Tag 2 was the last competitive tekken. T7 just aint it chef
The offline was great, the online was great, the content was great, the game was just extremely hard to play. It wasnt an eSport because it was a game for the fans/players, not the spectators. And the sad thing is we probably will never get something like this back
That's why me and my friends only play solo in this game, it's actually an awesome game if you play 1v1 or actual 2v2 with 4 players
Trash
solo and 2v2 is actually fun in tag2
I like how the comment sections of these 2 videos are people who are fond of Tag 2 and miss it.
It's a far better game than Tekken 7. The only reason it did poorly was because it was geared towards hardcore fans. Tekken 7 attracted a lot of casuals with its simplified gameplay, but the game itself is worse.
The SFV of Tekken.
Exactly.@@holden6104
@@holden6104if you were a "hardcore" tekken fan you would know how fucking miserable ttt2 was to play seriously. Its casuals that enjoyed ttt2 because they didnt play online and have to put up with the broken bullshit.
@@jaykelley103 how so? Movement worked properly. Oki worked properly. Grabs worked properly. What's the problem behind requiring your grey matter to take on the momentous task (for you) of picking 2 characters instead of 1?
Tekken Tag 2 is one of the best-looking games of its generation. Having realistic hair and skin textures as well environmental effects. It was also the first fighting game to implement environmental effects that interact with the characters body, such as dirt, water, and paint/ink that stain on the character's skin and clothes for a certain amount of time.
This was my introduction to the Tekken series back when I was in 4th Grade, 'cause I got the Wii U port...Only because I saw all of the Nintendo costumes they had for all the characters. I literally have the Nintendo costumes to thank for me getting into Tekken.
Definitely the most fun I ever had with post 6 Tekken. Loved the infinite amount of freedom the bound/tag system brought.
Selling the game for PC would've made so much more sense than for the WiiU. I don't know anyone who associates Wii, WiiU, or Switch with fighting games without referring to Smash Bros or TvC. Going the PC route would've sold so many more copies, especially since consoles aren't nearly as popular in Asia are they are in the US and Europe.
@@Leadblast there's a barrage of reasons TT2 couldn't outdo T7, but the one thing that comes to mind is the fact that T7 has had a steady flow of content, it's the first Tekken with seasons so the game lasts longer than the others.
Man I loved Tekken Tag 2
For casual fun it's the best in the series for me
Everything was awesome for me
The rooster, the tag mechanics, etc
For me is the best Tekken
But I understand those who really don't like it
I loved watching Tekken Tag competitive, seeing different teams and combos that you don't see every match was good fun. Also watching and making creative combos was also really fun.
Johnny Jacksonson Unlimited tech. Even now there’s so much in that game we don’t know. I used Lei & Michelle I had the time of my life founding out set ups
TTT2 actually has hidden moves tekken 7 don’t have m.ruclips.net/video/oNrflVkiXs8/видео.html
TTT2 has something that T7 doesn't
*content*
Thank you
Ghost battle is just gone. that was my practice before going online. T7 cancelled it
@Connor Scully yeah same
It's pretty much where i learned everything
The defense, poking, throwbreaking, punishing etc.
But I later moved to Arcade mode
Figured that the AI is more defensive there......
@karlan this... This is everything
acting like tekken offline content used to be actually good lol.. if it isnt about the competitive aspect of the game, why would you play tekken? because of bad storylines and terrible AIs?
Watching this older footage shows me how much you have improved, keep up the great videos
Please quantify what exactly did tmm get better at in tekken 7.
@@mikhailmikhailov8781 Super old comment but. Everything. He got better at literally everything.
I still find it better than 7 in terms of actual fun and offline content
Tekken Tag Tournament 2 is good content-wise and Tekken 7 is good gameplay-wise.
TTT2 actually has hidden moves tekken 7 don’t have m.ruclips.net/video/oNrflVkiXs8/видео.html
@@ibblue0710 I fully agree. Too bad they didn't bother to combine these aspects (I'd like T6 customization more though)
I always main two characters anyway in fighting games so I really have no problem about learning a new character that is not a clone. The Mishimas are practically clones for me anyway
Tag 2 netcode was so crispy. From Brazil I've played people from USA with no lags. Good times.
TTT2 is like the 3rd Strike of the series. Harada even had it designed in such a way where he said '3rd Strike was made for maniac SF players and Tag 2 is made for maniac Tekken players'
I loved this game
If everyone is broken nobody is
Said by someone who hasn't played online and dealth salt.
TTT2 was just the party game version of Tekken! Ignore the competitive scene and the game was honestly loved by most
I can't lie, 4-player offline and 2-player co-op online were really fun, some of the most fun I have had with offline tekken
@@vista1456786 Also playing 2 players offline vs bots takes off the pressure of playing your friends because if they're bad they can just fight with you and not always just lose against you
@@Leadblast you're right, but some people are vegetarian bro. Just cause the beef is the important bit to you doesn't actually mean anything
@@Leadblast Bro veggies eat burgers all the time, you might just be the dumbass in the room
@@Leadblast That's like saying I can't enjoy playing football if I don't see competitive football on TV. WTF dude 🤣
I really loved TTT2
Too many T's to be viable
Same
As a Xiayou main I completly hated this game, it felt like I got away with murder in every match. I didn't feel like I got any better during the Tag 2 era. Due to how easy it was for me compared to many other players.
Fregler wtf I’m the opposite that’s a hoax don’t know who you fought cause I got to be careful against these blue ranks and vanquishers. 😂
Lol and you still don't get away with murder as Ling in T7!? =P
I main Xiaoyu too, but I didn't get away with murder everytime probably cause I play at a high level. Xiaoyu was so bad for me in tag2. She was insanely one of the weakest characters in tag2. She was C-tier at best. Why? Worst damage in the game, most of her key moves are unsafe. In a game where you basically have two life bars, as a poking character she did baby damage compared to everyone else. You can see why she is S-tier now even tho they barely changed anything with xiaoyu
Blue rank players be like
what about tekken 3? will you revisit it?
Hopefully
@wait what why not
He said since he already revisited tag 1, is basicaly the same as tekken 3. So probably not.
@@mac8009 B-b-but Dr. Bosconovich... and Gon. ;(
And insta-killing Paul's Deathfist.
No
Sick net code, amazing movement, coolest combos, a ridiculous amount of depth with also Cool customisation via decals. Massively under rated game...
BrandyB it was a good game even if i dont like the juggle system in that game it was too long and so broken *eddy* but its overall a more finished game than t7 all though i would say the fight mechanics are better in T7
The game had a ton of offline content, but the lack of a rematch option online ruined the game. Gimmicky characters became much stronger as you could not learn and adapt by rematching, this in combination with the insane damage with the tag mechanic and rage made the online experience rage inducing.
Agreed TTT2 is the must underrated tekken game
4:42 ahh the beloved whyU
To me and a lot of people TTT2 was a big comeback for tekken in general and it made me want to really upgrade my playing style. I never even realized that it didn't sell well and honestly before this video thought it was tekken's big leap back to stardom.
Idk WHAT your talking about, I LOVE this fucking game!
This was the only Tekken game that I ever purposely broke, not out of anger, but just to make sure I kept myself from not coming back to it. Ttt2 was a love/hate relationship.
Playing tekken tag 2 at launch with my own custom stage music is one of my favorite memories. Technicalities aside, that game was pure fun and nostalgia
Custom stage music rocks. I'm playing TTT1 Jin's stage with the extended drums battle song from Troy (achilles hector fight). 100% awesome.
The tags were a simple concept really... Knock up to and slam + tag.
But to expand it,
Knock+ tag to swap without crashing, allowing for 3 tags maximum before a tag assault.
Tag 2 great game
Had lot of fun playing it
I miss this game!
Was very entertaining
Can’t wait for TTT3 2036
As a most casual of casuals, I just liked the game because of the massive roster, honestly. I still play like I did twenty years ago. But I can see why this game frustrated people to tears.
the masterpiece that was Tekken Tag 2
I don't really remember Namco really marketing the game all that much when it first released on consoles. I only knew about it because I had a feverish obsession with the Tekkn series at the time.
I loved tekken tag 2 and the only reason i watched your streams and videos Mate was the combos..
@@SnakeInTheRain indeed my friend i really hope For ttg3 or tekken x street fighter
I did play Tag 2 not so long ago, alone, just to fuck around with the game a little. I enjoyed it a lot, I could feel the game having a lot of depth and combos felt amazing to pull off. If I tried it back in 2012 I think I would have started playing Tekken even competitively, Switzerland had (and still has) a solid Tekken community. But I was all about KOF13 back in the days.
The fact that it was complicated was why I loved this game
This was the game that started my love for Tekken.
TTT2 really wasn’t that bad.
I agree, Uncle Dana.
Sales, pro scene and development wise, it was bad.
"wasn't that bad"
It was so bad it nearly killed the franchise. The day people realize fighting games RELY on their competitive scenes to not die is the day people stop giving this unbalanced mess any credit.
@@flix5668 it was the necessary sin
@@LightWavess I agree, but you still see far too many people saying T7 sucks because muh customization and muh carrer when T7 is unarguably the most balanced fighting game in the whole franchise, and probably in history.
The only other game I can think of that's as good as T7 is for competitive play is KI.
i wished atleast the customization would be like tt2 for t7
I definitely love me some tag 2 it I would 100% play it for hours on end because of how deep it is but I fully understand how people could dislike the game due to how quickly you realize the game is absurdly difficult. But i find it is not a failure but a mistake for what tekken needed to maintain its competitive popularity. Great video TMM 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
One launch, ded
Muddly colors
Etc
Everything launches on counter hit
Fall/Winter of 2012 was when me and my friends got formally introduced to Tekken. We never really got that good at this game initially, because of the vast number of characters and move pools. But damn if it wasn't fun. Now we're more competent players, though nothing special. Long standing fans may have been put off by this game, but it created one with me.
Tag 2 is for me the best Tekken, and i played all Tekken games. He complain because is hard, but Tekken 5 and Tekken 6 are harder and had an insanely difficult final bosses 🤣
This is the best Tekken to play with friends, really funny and have a lot of FREE content. Tekken 7 had less than 40 characters, and they added more than 10 characters as DLC by 3,4 or even 5 dollars per character. Tag 2 is a game made with love, Tekken 7 is made with greed.
The reason T7 sold more than TTT2 is thanks to PC port.
if TTT2 had a PC release the sales would have reached 2 millions atleast
PC port is the smallest section of the tekken community. It doesnt do much
@@Final.Soldier
most of the people i know play on PC cause none of them has consoles.
Tekken being console exclusive was one of the reasons it always had less popularity, but nowadays everybody has a PC and everybody can play it.
most streamers like TMM use PC too which also confirms Tekken's popularity on PC.
@@Leadblast Excuse me??? I play on both console and PC and the community is substantially bigger on console so get your facts straight before you call someone a liar.
@@GORO911 You knowing only PC players has nothing to do with how big the community is on PC or console. Useless information. PC gamers are the most hardcore players which is the smallest amount of players. Do you really think a casual gamer will spend on a PC or a cheap console? Tmm and other big tekken players go on PC because the servers, graphics are better and people generally play on wired instead of wifi.
And this is coming from someone who plays more on PC than on console. The console version sucks ass due to their shit servers and graphics but there is no denying that people play more on console than on PC because ps4 is cheaper than you buying a PC just to play games.
Tekken Tag 2 > Tekken 7. I hope that it will be on Steam someday.
Honestly TTT2 is one of my favorite games of all time. Such a love letter to Tekken fans, I loved the roster, the free DLC, the Online Co-op, the short-lived clan system, the returning and new stages, Tekken Tunes, everything! I will admit the balance was frustrating but I absolutely love this game to pieces. I'd kill to see a port to modern gen systems.
Nah they won't port it they're not stupid, they know a large percentage of their player base will drop 7 for tag, then they can't charge you for characters
@@Blackfist030 I seriously doubt that.
Tekken tag 2 was the best tekken imo the most fun
This game takes me back to my highschool days where I invite my friends to play cuz of them boasting that theyre good at tekken and all so I was like "come to my house let's play and see" a vibe similar to that and also arcades beside our school had teens, kids, dads waiting for their turn to play in our local arcade so I practiced alot at home to beat the familiar faces in the arcade, but my sister was like a boss battle back then lol she's the only person I can't beat in that time, good memories
It has an awesome soundtrack though, as every Tekken game!
I LOVED ttt2. Probably my favorite in the series
I found myself re-installing my PS3 and everything mostly to just play that game again recently... I didn't even bother to try online, just training mode, and I had a blast. This is one of the best labbing games ever for whoever likes that as much as I do. And playing my team from the past felt... great, just great. Drag/AK. I like this game, I understand the point that all the mechanics that make this game complicated are not apart of tekken fundamentals which is true. Yet those mechanics are what makes it great from a marginal standpoint like mine. I wonder if we will ever get a tag tekken game again
TTT2 Damage was the worst, this game is not balanced.
False
You had to beat 2 characters to win a round, so what you say doesn't make sense
@@shotokanfist4118 What? you had to fight 2 characters (unless they chose solo, which was also stupid broken) but you only had to KO 1 of the characters to get a round, not both. You could easily do a half health combo without rage or more with a wall and with rage, you're dead. Solo fighters do more damage and take less damage and regenerate health, and with rage, pretty much any of their combos would kill
imagine fighting against a capo. You made one of the capo’s low health and boom they tag so you fight the same character
Devil fist you only need to kill one of them so he does make sense
Best tekken game because of the individuell music, creativity, roster & offline 4 players/friends 👌
Tag 2 was fucking sick, I still miss it. Being able to rank up online with a friend is just wonderful. It was a beautiful mess.
I can understand that in a competitive level it can have its problems, but as a casual player who plays mostly with friends and both them and me are unable to perform those infinite combos, the game is the dream Tekken: the whole roster from the WHOLE saga, lots and lots of moves, colourful and innovative stages, more than decent graphics, loads of content, AMAZING music customization (you could assign ANY song from previous Tekkens and also any song you had in your console to any stage, having Emotionless Passion sound in the stage where you fight Jinpachi and Heihachi was priceless), and loads of nostalgia.
Had they balanced a few abusive moves, forbidden to play clones and patched the damage system, maybe even eliminating rage, and it would be the best in the series for me without a doubt.
As it stands, anyway, it's a very nice rendition to Tekken and its characters, was more respectful to the lore and legacy than some official and numbered Tekkens and in general I felt it was a love letter to the series. Getting to fight Jun in the final stage, being able to play as Jin and transform into Devil Jin, listening to the intro theme with the same pianovmelody from original TTT...
For me, it's a very underrated game and I still play it regularly.
what was going to be allegedly the best game in the series got me turned off of it competitively for so long until T7 saved the series.
would love a T3 revisited series so many weird stuff in that game(mid WGF hei) to be talked about
appreciate all the videos tmm thanks
He already did Tag 1 which is basically a refurbished version of 3 with a bigger cast.
@@sonofaballer96 thats true but i thought since that there are some differences like the one i mentioned the huge impact of this game on the series and the introduction of many new characters that might be a good idea
@@galanoth619 Right?! Tekken 3 was THE Tekken game to put itself on the map. It formed its own identity with that key release (I grew up playing Tekken 3 it definitely holds a special place in my heart)
i still play this game. even more than tekken 7
I first played tekken 2 when I was five and when I was 7 or 8 I got tekken 5. My family always played tekken but none of us knew what we were doing, just a couple of moves from the movelist. And then I went to a holiday program and they just got tekken tag 2 for everyone to play. I was maybe 13 when it arrived and I thought I should learn how to play properly, so I played tag 2 for ages with a family friend who played street fighter who I got interested tekken. He was 28 when we started and neither of us knew how to play but he learned it quick and since I played against him I learned at the same pace. Tekken tag 2 was really complicated but we didn't know that for so long and in that time where we didn't know how complicated it was we had heaps of fun playing the game. I like tag 2 a lot but all the points in your video are 100% true mainman.
I liked TTT2 since its what got me into Tekken but after playing T7. Im like what is all this damage.
Tag 2 w/o the clones, rage and netsu would have been the best.
what's netsu?
@@wolf4590 It's the system where certain teams gets rage quicker depending on if they like each other or not.
tag 2 was what brought me to your stream when I was browsing twitch.. and even though I hadn't played since tekken 5 I still loved watching your stream and it got me into tekken 7 which I now have 800 hours in
It's my favourite Tekken of them all, so hardly a disaster in my book.
Long Lost Puss Agreed, I can’t speak for competitive play but as a casual player, this game and 5 are the best for me.
Never did play tag , but oh boy , this doesn't even look that much of 720p, especially the background is blurry af with no anti aliasing, i also agree with the lighting, everthing is so dark , especially the costumes.
I loved TTT2, played it quite alot. I also spent quite alot of time in character customization.
If TTT2 was ported to the PC and had T7's combo system, I would physically burn my copy of T7 as those are the only 2 things keeping me with T7 right now. I'd trade all the guest characters in the world for Jinpachi, Ogre, Kunimitsu, and all the other characters that are probably never coming back from TTT2.
Though Tag 2 is pretty bad, I must admit I liked the bound system a bit more than the screw system.
We want Replay mode and Tekken Force mode in Season 3. or season 4
Ok
The fact I still play this and I’m a green rank and than got to yellow rank like it was nothing in tekken 7
720p is just HD by the way, not full HD. Full HD is 1080p.
Sorry, the OCD kicking in.
I know this video is rather old, but I played TTT2 for such a long time, I thought tekken was always like this, then I got to play Tekken 7, and omg, it's a totally different game.
TTT2 sometimes I felt some opponents could always beat me, no matter what I do, in T7 though, it always felt fair ~
Tekken 7 seems like a massive step back to me in comparison to TTT2
Ttt2 taught me punishment very well for 5 years after spending majority that time just learning combos. T7 has taught me neutral... What I'm saying is I'm gonna be the next Knee for T8.
This game actually got me into Tekken competitively as well, much like with DreThaBeast. I get why you don't like this game and I respect that. I just wasn't expecting you to do ANY videos on this game. But your videos overall have helped me out a lot when it comes to certain matchups, but my biggest weakness (at least right now) is Bryan and Feng Wei. I have played Feng Wei a little bit, but I still don't know what to do against a more aggressive player that uses either one of these characters. So any tips there would be helpful.
The most frustrating part of the game was the Tag system itself.
Open Stage Combo into Oki against lets say an Ogre/Asuka Team:
You have to think about Backroll, Techroll, Quickstand, Wakeup Kicks, Lay still, Sideroll, Ogres Fly Over, Asuka tagging in doing nothing, sliding in, parrying, high crushing with a dick jab or low crushing with d3+4 - and Tag Crash
In Tekken 7 it is almost 50/50, in TTT2 you had like 13 different wakeup / tag options. And guessing wrong would most of the time result in a launch, which was fucking frustrating. Even more with the combination of the endless juggles and immense damage. It turned a bit into a turn-based game. 10 seconds for one player, then he can tag launch you and have his own 10 seconds.
Raw Tag into random crush move was also the most reliable way to Tag, because you could attack faster than you could block, which doesn't make sense at all. Yeah ofc you could space and punish that shit, but the game itself would want you to press a button after Tagging in always forcing a Mixup situation
TTT2 solo mode would have been a great game in total. More balanced than T6, and a bit harder than T7 with a interesting Oki + Throw system. But I am not talking about Solo Player vs a Tag Player - that was shit again.
>In Tekken 7 it is almost 50/50,
How is that any better than tag2? Losing because you guessed wrong 2-3 times vs devil jin is infinite more frustrating than losing in tag2, because you woke up in a stupid way. If you woke up in a stupid way and got punished for it, you could fix that and you wouldnt be as frustrated, because you would know what you lost to. In tekken 7 you can just lose, because the other guy was better at flipping coins than you and had no better recognizable strategy than you.
@@mikhailmikhailov8781 I am also not the biggest fan of T7s Oki system.
But the main point of T7 guessing wrong (as a defender), is that you eat a mid or a low and that doesn't have to be a launcher.
In TTT2 guessing wrong will result in 90 % of the time in a launcher and it is not only limited to the defending part, but also as the attacking part. Someone is almost always getting launched.
This comment is so right on so many points about TTT2, that's exactly what I wanted to say, the game was wayyy to frustrating to play. This comment should get like 100 likes at least, it's simply the truth.
Best Tekken game don't @ me
@Vawn lol
But this video isn’t about Tekken 5
Personally, I don't think as some make it out to be. In fact, I think it's one of the best in the series.
Facts 💯
Tekken 7 was my first game in the series and my first fighting game in general, but later on I went back and played the older Tekken games using an emulators on my PC.
I was so excited for Tag 2. I thought they started off strong with the Snoop Dog endorsement, and the WTF (RIP) system. But boy have I never raged so hard playing a game ever! I would get headaches for hours after playing the cancer that is ranked online. Now T7 rank is still cancer but nothing like it was in Tag 2.
Same here. As Aris once said, "playing this game online is so bad for your health".
I’d honestly watch TMM play ttt2 again. With its flaws and all I loved it no matter how cheese it was. Only because I won’t be caught in ttt2 ranked curiosity again lol.
Tt2 I liked, it was fun and the energy it gives off was amazing
Everything besides gameplay was perfect in ttt2
crazy911wman even besides gameplay the game wasn‘t the perfect tekken game in my opinion i would say that there is no perfect tekken game right now a perfect tekken would be a mix between 3,4,5,6 and tag 2
The Unknown I disagree. Tekken Tag Tournament 2 has better soundtrack compared to Tekken 7.
@The Unknown Yeah Tekken 7 music is straight garbage. So glad we can change soundtracks.
@@Leadblast one launch could kill you in ttt2
There are two Major flaws for me of this game
1. Attacks do too much damage
2. Why do you lose when one character get's ko'ed?
I agree on damage. And the games would be LONG AF if you had to kill both characters
@@Jakc_Tk make it only 2 rounds tho
This was one of the best and most fun Tekken games ever.
I’ve been playing Tekken since the first one, played them all but Tag1, but Tag 2 was the first time I ever took it seriously.
Learned about frame data, kbd, proper punishes, optimal combos, etc
Because it did compel you to learn all of that, because it was a very technical game, and you knew there was stuff going on you didn’t understand.
I mean T7 is amazing, an amazingly balanced fantastic masterpiece, it’s really really fun and I love it.
But I don’t know why TTT2 gets so much hate, it was fun online and had a competitive scene.
I really think TTT3, aka Tcubed, will be an *amazing* game. As long as Lei is there from launch. I didn’t even play Lei but I can’t believe they did him dirty like that, he’s been staple since T2.
Not disaster
Thats actual tekken game
Not even casuals but even pros like Nin and JustFrameJames dropped tekken after tag2 .
TTT games are great for casual. Competitive wise no for me.
About games netcode, it seems to always be a lottery whether or not a game will have good, decent or bad netcode.
2:47 the dragunov wall carry in those days were ridiculous
TT2 was great
Besides it Setbacks...
The Intros outros were awesome..
Custom was good (should have expanded with T6 custom options)
Getting to pick your music for every stage
Of course the Roster.
And of course the stages lots of stages.
Offline options.
I think Harada said that they had to reduce Tag 2's graphics to ensure full performance/60fps while showing 3-4 fighters onscreen. Sure it's 2 characters most of the time but during Tag combos it's usually 3 characters sometimes 4. And I can understand I mean the PS3 is not the most powerful console ever. Tekken 6's texture and shader looks much better, look at the skin of every character in that game. I couldn't leave the arcade when I first saw Tekken 6, even though I was done playing I stayed for a while more just to watch others play and admire the graphics.
Tag 3 wouldn't have this problem though. PS5, XB2 going to run it well I bet.
I love this game now when I got used to the over complicated tag mechanic I loved it. But in the first few years of this game in the arcades rarely did I attempted to played it since the mechanics overwhelmed me. At first glance it's tekken6 but the tag system made it complicated that you really have to master at least 2 characters to enjoy the game.
Considering covering Tekken Revolution? It introduced some staples we have today.
your video series "Combo Exhibition" on ttt2 was beautiful
Tag 2, for all its faults, is still the game where I finally "got" fighting games at a competitive level. It was the first time I was cognisant of the concept of whiff punishing and understood the importance of movement and spacing.
It flipped a switch for me. For that, I'll always love it.
Pair play was the best
I loved tekken 6 but I never even bothered to get Tag 2 after I tried the preview version that came with the tekken movie: blood vengeance.
