Mihawu taking a selfie with Ancient Ogre killed me. But yeah Tag 2 is still a love letter to the TEKKEN franchise as a whole, the fanservice is actually outragous
"Miharu"
"Outrageous"
not every character got cool interactions, some just got one, i personally didnt get much but other characters then straight up got alot of that
Sadly i dont feel this love from tekken 7 and 8... I loved tekken tag 2 btw
@@Leadblast Oops my bad, not my first language haha
@@Leadblast miharuwu
Tekken Tag 2 was a love letter to the fans who loved the characters from older games like Kunimitsu, Jun, and Michelle as well as new ones, that was supposed to be played as an all-stars game for fun with friends rather than a competitive game that you had to take everything personally. A lot of people hated it because they took it too seriously, seeing the same complaints all over social media like rage, combo damage, tag gimmicks, 1 vs 2, Capo b+1,4, etc. and still don't realize that it was made for having fun with a friend or a group of people. Pair play was made for that purpose.
You are describing fighting games in general from the early 2000s
I remember always playing it with my father, such good times.
You have no idea how much I loved the Jinpachi/trueOgre game. Damn, it was way too much fun. Add the seemingly infinite juggle & setup options.. my goodness, what tekken it was.
Man, I am really going to miss Jinpachi and the Ogres...
I was so psyched to be able to play as them again for the first time in years. And now... the amount of time that has passed since TTT2 released is even greater than the years between TTT1 and TTT2. At this rate, we won't see TTT3 (or the return of legacy characters) until nearly 2040.
TTT2 was a game for the players, the pros and tournament sweats cried due to all the knowledge checks, but who gives a fuck about them
Absolutely love Tekken Tag 2. It's such a cool game with endless possibilities for tag teams and combos. Still play it more than Tekken 7.
me too, tag 2 was better than T7, sure the tag assault damage should have been toned down a bit more, and remove Capos B14, but the movement was great, you didn't get locked into a 50/50 as much, and so many characters were viable depending on what partner you had. PLUS not having guests and 2D bullshit and Leroy and T7 Kuni is great
I would definitely play Tag 2 over Tekken 7 more than I have already if it were ya know... available to purchase on modern consoles.
@@Beforezzz It is on all the XBOXes 360 and on.
@@dawavve Playstation store is garbage.
@@bludika I doubt Tekken team would balance it incase it became too popular, that's just how fighting game in general work cause people would go back to the same title instead of paying for new ones
Bro making your tag partner look like your character and vice versa was the funniest shit I've ever seen online. That shit legitimately got me some matches. Good times man.
Shoutout to Ice Beam lol
Strats for Laws, Mishimas, Taekwondos, Williams, Jacks, Ninjas, etc
the amount of content and details that game had were astonishing
Broken but fun. That's Tag 2 and I love this game.

Óia quem tá aquikkkk
@@SomeoneOutThereIdk HEHE
@@Xaxan6523 or most tag team based fighters in general.
The only broken thing in TTT2 was the capo b+1,4.
I've said it a thousand times, I'll happilly say it again: Tag 2, to me, was a celebration of the series more than anything, and it's exactly why I think it's one of the all-time greats of the series.
I had an unhealthy amount of hours in TTT2. It started my competitive drive for Tekken in general. I'm a Fujin in T7 and I thought I'd never get this far in a game with so much knowledge checks and movement demands.
With who? Someone that actually plays Tekken or did you pick a mini game of a character?
@@chungusamongus519 I play Josie. She's pretty honest compared to most of the cast.
@@Messatsu01 i wouldn't say that :D
@@Messatsu01 Josie...Honest... Ummmm not really. I mean, she has a crushing hopkick, a df2 that hits from a mile away and crushes highs, a chunky low that hits from across the screen and pressure that is impossible to deal with unless you lab her. Plus, no one plays her so no one knows the mu until at least purple ranks (and I'm being too lenient with this statement). Okay she's no Eddy or Raven or Ling or Lei or Zafina, there are worse characters but she can carry really well.
@@Goteiii if you dont press buttons during her SWS, what's the worst that she can do to you? No grab game, her lows dont do much outside of just damage, she has no seeable nor unseeable natural hit low launchers, and no scary mids that create momentum. Compared to the characters that flood the competitive scene like Kuni and Marduk, she's pretty bearable.
Tag 2 definitely had personality.
I've been playing Tekken since T3. Tag 2 is the game where I started playing Tekken somewhat more seriously. It helped me find my main - Lee. Lots of hours spent with friends on Pair Play offline. Lots of stupid fun. This game will always hold a special place in my heart.
The game literally looks so good even now
Tbf Tekken 6 and TTT2 look much, much better than Tekken 7
Still is my favorite tekken to this day despite its lack of popularity. Thanks for the video.
Such a good game but soo complex but it was fun
very fun but holy shit was it frustrating.
@@diddlenfiddle7311 implying that Kekken 7 isn't even more frustrating.
@@Leadblast because 7's an easier game.
Throws are far easier to break, there's less bloat so you need less knowledge, juggles are faar simpler, characters are less broken, getting off the ground is far more forgiving, everyone's has an armour move.
The only thing I'd say is more frustrating with 7 are dealing with rage moves.
If you disagree, I'd love to hear why honestly.
@@diddlenfiddle7311 Tekken 7 sucks! It's boring!
@@djsiddiki3430 Not if you're any good at it.
This game is a victim of circumstance. It came out at a wrong time; too late for the golden days of the FG scene but too early for the modern FG scene and the increasing popularity and interest in the FG genre.
People often shit on it for being "too broken" or "not competitive", but what Tekken game was ever balanced in the first place? Games like Tag 1 and 6 were dominated by Mishimas/Ogres and Bob respectively and were plagued by balance issues, and they still saw a lot of competitive play. Even Tekken 7 - that is often considered the most balanced game in the series - gets shit for characters being too overpowered or combos being way too high damage, or even the online experience being too toxic (another thing Tag 2 gets shit for). Tag 2 is no different than any other game, but people pretend like it is. I will agree though, that the complexity and roster size did make this game much harder to get into competitively.
Tekken 7 was blessed by its marketing and release schedule. TTT2 was on three platforms but none of them were PC which would give it a chance of legs (look at Marvel 3). Tekken Ball is great but it is more accessible through emulating the Wii U than the Wii U.
@@thelastgogeta A PC port would've definitely gave it a better chance but I think it would've still not been as successful as Tekken 7. I guess a PC version would've meant a greater potential in resurgence in later years? And yeah Marvel 3 is a good example with its recent resurgence thanks to mods.
@@daddysaso Yeah, I don't think it would take over Tekken 7 but I think it would be in a good spot. It has a lot of content, but I've never seen a case where the new game with tons of marketing, DLC and official tournaments doesn't get most of the attention.
Melee or Project M is the only thing close to that but only Melee has a chance of any official marketing with no chance of mods (for rollback, added characters, rebalanced controls etc) being recommended.
Tekken Tag 2 is perfection in every way possible. Best Tekken game ever till this day imo.
As someone who plays Tag 2 more than T7, this is nice to see ❤️🔥
@Skyline I like TTT2 and play it more than T7 myself.
@@SynClaiRWest I plat T6 and TTT2 more than T7
@@shinobiblade2558 tekken 6 is so goood
I feel like their is so much more passion put into TTT2 in comparison to T7.
I love your videos, please notice me I’m 20 years old and not sure what I’m doing with my life but I am a huge fan of the Tekken community
Begging for attention won't solve your problems but you do you mate.
I'm gonna be honest. This game needs a 10 year anniversary release. I really wanna see how this game would do in the landscape now and days since this game deserves a second look. Tekken 7 is good fun but Tag 2 is SOOOO special and so many ways that make Tekken 7 pale in comparison even with mods. Movement, combos, stages, Mishima dominance, double capos (we can forget about that) and all the teams you can make and find synergy.
Just add a subscription to play TTT2 instead of wasting money on it again when nobody else going to buy or suffer to play it again
@@shenelljohnson74 You don't think the player base isn't gonna try it again? You'd be surprised.
@@RrizIIDX I'd doubt it, it be for a while then everybody would realize how broken and annoying it is just like before
@@shenelljohnson74 Broken is very subjective when it comes to that game tbh. Meanwhile Tekken 7 has bonkers damage, to the point where they had to increase health and lower wall damage in season 4, had a whole ass Leroy and fhakuram so broken they had multiple Leroy players and Fahk banned at a major. Lidia comes out and is top 5 on arrival for her great options.
@@RrizIIDX but both Leroy and fahkumram aren't dominating tournaments tho plus there online isn't overwhelmed by them
Tag 2 was my first tekken. I was ass but I had so much fun
God i love these types of videos from you ,hearing your experience and giving history on the game really made the video THAT much better from start to finish.
As a horrible, casual Tekken player:
all the characters in TTT2 are super cool, the soundtrack IS AMAZING, and....uh, that's all I got.
Baek/Hwoarang lets gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
@@user-dv4pz7qj7x lol this guy.
I loved every moments where i managed to annoy the shit out of my friends when playing versus battle with baek/hwo combo
@ItzRapTorRPT if by "Complicated and requires alot of work to master" you mean, "Hard at competitive level play/tournaments" Then yeah I guess i agree with you. But Hwo is not a hard character. he is just as "Long legs just flying around" as baek. (At least in T7)
Tekken Tag Tournament 2 was what got me back into Tekken and i will always enjoy coming back to it.
TTT2 was the game that got me to play competitively. I've been playing since Tag 1 and having all the characters was super fun. I will forever remember that wakeup electric that JDCR did at 4:02
Tekken Tag 2 was a pretty good game. Played it back in 2013, kicked butt with Jin and Lars. The balancing was a human letdown. It requires you to understand at counter 50+ characters either alone or as a team. Best played with your mates at home.
Tag 2 has the best customization in tekken history
Couldn’t be any more wrong although the decal system on consoles was the only saving grace
@@MSTRPRFKT They're right. 7 ain't close and T6 ain't better.
@@Hidden_lvl T6 is better. Only thing Tag 2 had on 6 was emblem creator.
Tekken 6 is the best one each character's custom items felt unique
At least 7 allows hair color changes. I like Bryan, but fuck that gray.
Excellent video as always. Short, sweet and to the point. I hope the algorithm blesses you and many others get to enjoy your content too
I still play this game and I think that a never gonna stop!
TTT2 is the game where i first really started to understand Tekken,
Swiching between 2 characters started to churn the gears in my knogin on each characters pros & cons,
Although i wish the game let you send out your tag partner when the first is defeated, kindof antyclimactic that it just stops after beating th first guy, otherwise this game is awesome & still holds up
If they make a Tekken Tag 3 it better be like Tag 2 but so much better. Take everything that made Tag 2 amazing and add on to that
This game will forever have a special place in my heart. I still play this game regularly with some homies, we never stopped playing it since release, back in its glory days we spent entire weekends playing this game, and even now we still discover new setups and strats. This game is a bottomless pit of "discord tech" and I love it with a passion. TTT2 for life.
Also 2012/13 was an era I was addicted to fighting games, both offline and online, and TTT2 was a big part of it lol.
Rip to halo 3 on 360. I served us well
The graphics are so good in its time plus the ending movies are so good
This game is literally my love of my life I can’t wait for the TTT3, which would get released if Tekken 9 gets released, so I hope it happens❤️❤️
TTT3 ain't gonna be like TTT2 just to let you know harada Gonna be treating it extremely careful this time according how TTT2 perform lol
@@shenelljohnson74 Harada may not still be at Bamco when TTT3 is released. He's 51, T8 will be 5 or 6 years THEN T9 will probably be out ANOTHER 6 years or so. As I have just turned 49 myself I'm realizing that my reflexes will be shit by the end of T8. But I'm still gonna play.
@@revbladez5773 I know that. He may not feel challenged by the job anymore and seek to run another company or a higher position. Why stay director of Tekken when he could possibly become the president of Namco? If that happens he would appoint someone else so he could spend more time with his family.
@@lucky-13gof47 really "Tekken 8 Will be 5 or 6"?
Knee got JDCR back really good after that tournament in Final Round. He played Marduk and Bruce in the next tournament in Korea and kicked his ass so bad that JDCR was still on the arcade machine while Knee was holding the trophy.
What tournament was that?
The thing I loved most about this game is how much personality the game had. Cool intro's, cool and unique outros, double takedown animations and it's huge roster. Tekken 7 is definitely more well-polished and crisp but it's lacking some of the personality tag 2 had for sure. Hope the next Tekken brings some of it's personality back
Tekken 3 got me into tekken, tekken 5 got me hooked, tekken tag 2 was why i stayed in love with the game, absolute peak fighter
tag 2 still has the best customization music even today
The only Tekken games I've ever played are Tekken Tag 2 and Tekken 7. I only put a few minutes into 7 at a friend's house but I've put countless hours into Tag 2. It's my favorite fighting game by far which is saying something because I don't play fighting games often. I really miss playing this game with my friends
Tekken Tag Tournament 2 is my favorite Tekken. I saw it in an arcade and immediately picked Bob and Paul. The buttons and stick made me actually want to get a fight stick. It's a really good game an if you find 3 people to play it with, you're in for a good time. I hope it picks up steam again.
I still play this game at least once a month! What an amazing game and all the memories I have with my friends making small tournaments here in Greece.
ahh, memories, I played tag 2 with my dad a lot, and we loved it, the customization, 1v1 friends in local online was fun, I wish they make a remaster for ttt2 with a lot of fixes for multiplayer and other things, or ttt3, because I liked them, but T7 doesn't have that enjoyment feeling, so I hope Harada, will announce something new.
Harada sacrifice thousands of fans for millions to join and play TK 7 and to keep the series alive, I'd do the same too, sorry🤷
Oh man, if there was a pc remaster or just port even that would be so fcking cool.
@@tugsuumovies1999 I agree, we need more tekken's on pc too
@@tugsuumovies1999 If they made a pc port that had even only a dozen players in EU, I'd still play that over t7 tbh. Tag2 is just a lot more interesting imo.
Man I used to play Tag 2 on my ps3 with my sister ALL THE TIME, AND LMAO I used to duo Lars and Bob oml sht was nasty
10 whole years huh? Felt like a week tbh
Righteous, I had got this last September.
After I stopped playing Tekken 7 this year after the Tekken 8 announcement, decided to dust off the Xbox One and download Tekken Tag 2 on it, so far been enjoying it & brings back memories, especially downloaded Tekken 6 which also brings back memories of playing.
I liked the World Arena feature. Made a bunch of a friends and sparring partners through there. It's far superior to the janky, unstable lobbies and automatching of T7.
But I just wanna see a teaser for Tekken 8 at this point. I'm starting to get bored to T7.
Tekken is already an extremely beginner unfriendly game and TTT2 is the pinnacle of it. The sales numbers are a reflection of that.
WAS THAT A FLYING NIMBUS FROM DRAGON BALL
The dude even had a power pole on Tekken 6
I still play Tag 2 a lot! I main Jin and Baek and their tag combos are insane.
Another Baek main? Awesome!
One of my favorite Tekken games. Spent so much time in college with the homies just on the customization alone lol. That song was a vibe.
You should do more of these short video essay things on Tekken, awesome vid!
I'd love to see something like this for Tekken 6! Amazing video
Casually played this game and its one of my favorites
Bro! I love Tekken Tag Tournament 2 so much! It's such a masterpiece in my opinion and feels like a wonderful celebration of the franchise in general. I remember pouring so many hours into it when it was first released on home consoles in 2012 and I still play it to this day. This game is far better than Tekken 7 in my opinion. The amount of content it has is unreal and there's something here for everyone whether you're a competitive Tekken player or you're looking for a nice single player experience and to see your favorite characters again
TT2 was my first Tekken, Tekken 7 has the majority of my time but I was incredibly underwhelmed when it first came out after TT2. Overall a better and more balanced experience, but I still boot it up and enjoy the casual TT2 BS
I too have given the Tekken games a try, but with 7, and later I tried Tag 2. Both were pretty fun. Plus I remember my uncle having 2, 4, Tag and SFXT.
Tekken 7 - 10 years later video incoming in 2027.
Glad we're saying positive things about what was essentially, one of the strongest Tekken instalments.
after all this , i think we need a TTT3 , it's gonna be greate since the devolpement of the mechanics is reached it's peak
jin switching his stance to the mishima style when he ki charges gives me goosebumps
The game has prevented players to play online without the online pass, or if your online code card has expired, there is no way you can access online mode until you get forced to buy the pass.
Yesss
I still have tekken tag 2 on ps3 and it's still a fun game lol, great video man :)
i remember it was christmas of 2012 when my parents gave me tekken tag 2 for Christmas. ever since i was little i always loved tekken and this game was really the absolute best. i was so happy to see jinpachi as a playable character ever since i played tekken 5.
though i don't really play as competitive on tekken, it was still super fun to learn how to do tag combos and customize my characters, a game i will forever cherish
We still play this game because it’s so much fun when you play in your couch with friends just go r2 and switch to you friend and tag moves omg tag moves
This game was my childhood, glad to see I'm not the only one
So fun. Sunk so many hours into ghost battles. Amazing playing as team with your friend and getting hype whe you pull off a combo together. It's the best Tekken, for Tekken fans.
10 years later, its still popular here in philippines, for casuals, for fun, for everything.
I miss TTT2 movement, A LOT :( It defined the 3D game.
😒🤦♂️🙄 what?

hey there's me 3:04 been awhile since I seen my own content, Tag 2 customization was dope, loved it 🔥 video! Thanks for the inclusion
Arsenalty popped off harder when he hit duelist than when he hit tekken god
I forgot this was an Arsenalty video almost half way through
Love this game. The roster, the STAGES, THE MUSIC, the JUKEBOX... We need a remaster.
Excellent work dude.
forever my favorite tekken so much to come back to
I never used to play the old tekken games and tag tournament 2 is still the only one I've played... but I have a genuine love for this game and all the memories that come with it, growing up and playing it against my family. I hadn't played any real fighting games before so most of it was button mashing, but it was fun. plus, it was funny when both me and my sister played alisa and hoped that we would accidentally activate chainsaw arms. used to love playing as leo and combot respectively as well.
Great video as always Ty ✨
Tag 2... man... I wish that I still had my old 360. The fact that everything came out as free dlc was just too awesome!
God, I love this game. Flaws and all. 10/10 would play again.
I was expecting a combo video or best highlights but this is a great tribute to the game 😯
I remember being so excited to finally get the game at GameStop just to play Jin with Jun, Lars, and Kazuya and then make a team with Jin & Lili and Jin & Nina and play with family every weekend.
It was truly ahead of it's time, even if it asked for a lot of patience lol, especially if one was a scrub who didn't know what Bryan's snake edge was back then 😂. Online must've been worst than 7 😅 but if it's just for casuals, it's one of the best Tekken games hands down imo.
Really cool to get some lore and background stories of the game's online scene. I didn't even know some of those things lol
Online was pretty cool back then, much improved netcode from Tekken 6 and the World Arena had a lot of chill people in there more than I would have expected. This game came out right before my birthday too and getting the free dlc with all of the extra characters was a nice touch. Put in a lot of hours back then on this game lol
My fav tekken game of all time
I remember this guy telling me that TTT2 sucks because it didn't have an EVO presence. That's a big issue because I feel T7 started catering to stuff like EVO and not the actual people that play it. Plus, Tag 2 (a non-canon game mind you), did more for the Tekken lore than T7 did.
T7 catering to evo stuff are the people who play. Comp scene player's have much more time on these games than the average player.
The competitive scene is the driving force of any competitive game. Without it, t7 would have ended up just like tag 2.
The competitive audience is only a fraction of most fanbases, especially Tekken which is far too big from "OMG you can play as a bear" and customisation being in many recent instalments.
They should definitely take the competitive base seriously, but which installment didn't? Just T4 with neutered movement and experimental stages (most of which could probably be banned in tourney like Smash) as far as I know.
Best Tekken ever in my opinion
P.Jack is in it so that's an instant win. My eldest son is just getting into Tekken and P.Jack is one of his favourite characters along with Armour King. I'll be downloading it for him on his new Series X which he got for christmas 2moro.
Tekken Tag 2 is such a great package for a long time Tekken fan like me, because I can once again play with characters that had been gone for a while.
I don't know if it's appealing to fans of other games though. And that was perhaps the main cause of its stunted growth in popularity.
To think I was hyped to see all of these characters back then
the name entry theme for the arcade version of this game is top 10 in game music i’ve ever heard
Great analysis!
This is one of those game that I grew up with and yeah I fell in love with this game and to this days till play it .....
IMO one of the best from franchise! Pure partying. 🤩🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥💯
I miss World Tekken Federation, but Tekken Tag 2 is still a masterpiece today regardless: It had an exciting arcade mode with cool cutscenes ( Let's not forget 🐯Heihachi pressing the trap door button that had you fall down to Ogre's dungeon), funny , cool , and sometimes terrifying endings, great customization, and all the characters a Tekken fan could want. I still enjoy the game to this day.
i actually bought a ps3 again just to play this game again. it was the best tekken game i've ever played
Your Sunset is still one of the best tekken osts
It saddens me that I didn't appreciate Tekken the way I do today back when TTT2 was out. I played T4 as a wee little lad and played T5 as well when dad surprised me with it on the Xbox 360 one day after he got home from work, but I was either too young or too stupid to figure out how the game worked. I just picked the cool character and did many kicks and punches, very exciting. No rhyme or reason. I didn't return to Tekken until I think a year after T7 came out and eventually came to love it as today it's one of my favourite games. It saddens me when I watch TTT2 footage, to think that I wasn't present for it. It looks like such a unique time in the Tekken timeline.
play it. im playing it on xbox series x. Ultra street fighter 4 too.
An underrated but very fun Tekken game to this very day
1:52 YO after all these years i've never seen that Ogre and Heihachi interaction, this game is sick
Ayyyy
even if i'm not super good at fighting games this is my favourite party game ever. being able to play tekken with 4 players at the same time locally is just awesome and chaotic asf
btw there's 1 customization feature that still blows my mind in spite of being very simple - you could just connect usb stick with mp3 files to PS3 and then assign these custom musical tracks to each stage and even different menus. you can make a completely custom soundtrack for entire game without ANY modding, it's just a functionality that's built right in. i can't think of any other game that would allow you to do that
Dude used Rukunetsu music in his video, man of culture.
