You need to have pretty good memory and fast enough reflexes to pull a lot of the Tekken character combos off. Something a lot of people have trouble doing, even if they played the franchise for years.

In Tekken 7 you don't die in 2 launches at least with 90% of the characters. In Tag 2 you die with 1 launch in rage and 2 without rage from any character!
@@kanshiketsu89 Yea sure, how many times you died to Akuma in one combo the last 3 months. Maybe 1 or 2 or maybe never in your life, because there is few people that can play this character in that level.
A thing to bare in mind about the dmg though is that you’ve got another character with a full health bar you can tag in and when one character is tagged out they recover health.
The game flopped? Never had the money to buy a PS3, but yesterday I finally managed to buy a PS4 and I tried to buy the game from the PSN store but it wasn’t there… later I’ve found why… man I’m so disappointed About the game, it’s so fun I can’t imagine why it flopped
Honestly was the best tekken game ever for me but obviously it was not tournament friendly and that’s where the series makes it’s name. But my god the level of content and fan service was god tier, something we haven’t seen In any fighting game besides maybe soul caliber
This is actually my favorite tekken, it was so much fun especially with friends. When they announced tekken 7 I got turned off because of the massive combo changes then includes super moves. I know changes could be good but I didn't like it, it feels very different compared to the previous titles. haven't touched tekken since 7 came out.
I rarely like "tag" games or more than two characters per match games, but this is likeable since it has no supers.. Supers where a fad when you were a kid, now it feels like a time waster for the one on the receiving end. It just feels like an auto-combo with a press of a button.
Tekken 3 and 4 are the pinnacle of the series in my opinion. 5 wasn't as fun as 4 for me despite the extra Characters which was a plus for 5. I digged the smoother animation for the characters in addition to the ability to move in all areas of the stage. Plus Jin,hei,and kazuya electrics are each different colors and wave patterns. Loved it
I only played TTT2 online with friends and it was some of the best fun we've had on a game. Ranked isn't always the best part of a game and shouldn't always be the priority
People did not hate TTT2. They thought they hated it but, after they played Tekken 7 for quiet some time they found out that TTT2 is a real Tekken rather than ugly Tekken 7 and its trashy seasons. Tekken Tag Tournament 2 is one of the real tekken !!!
Seriously though, T7 characters look so fucking bad. Just compare TTT2 Lili to T7 Lili for an easy one, but there are many others too. T7 Lili looks like a plastic Barbie doll with weird low-poly plastic hair... T7's stages are also much worse and feel dead, one of my favourite things to do while my Tag partner is fighting is to just look at the background in TTT2, because there's always some funny thing going on (like the Town Musicians of Bremen in the german stage, for example). T7 has nothing like this.
I wouldn't be as good a Tekken player as I am today if not for TTT 2, no matter how rage inducing it was. For those of you who didn't get started until Tekken 7 came out, you have no idea how easy y'all have it. Tag 2 was a nightmare online.
Considering how badly TTT2 did, I doubt they would make a TTT3, but if they did it would come after T9 since they make a Tag game after 3 standalone Tekken games
I used to hate throws as a beginner playing t6 and ttt2 and I thought it was physically impossible. then I practiced and realized how easy it is. Nobody wants to practice and get good anymore. the casuals just want to play campaign and ghost battle, so why do online players have to suffer cause some casual can't break a throw?

Yet people complain about tekken 7 combo damage. Yet these new tekken fans never believe me when I tell them how broken tag 2 is hell tekken 6 was fucked remember bob back then.
Also there are 2 characters. You take a half damage combo in Tag 2, you turtle up and tag in your fresh character while the other one regenerates health. Take a half damage combo in 7, you're one combo away from death.
@@DigiCount also nobody was complaining about the game being broken at the time. Nobody complained about Eddy's b+2,4 except in retrospect because of guys like TMM. Imagine thinking a game is broken because of Eddy LOL.

Tag 2 everyone was broken so no one was broken. Tekken 7 only a few ppl are are so it's extremely noticeable. Akuma and geese can erase you and that's it.
I may be broken asf, but it is still my favorite tekken game to play offline, survival and ghost battle are fun and the dept of personalization gives you a reason to farm money and unlock new clothes
If you recklessly raw tag, you will eat another launcher into another 1/2. You can use Tag Crash, but you lose your rage and red life, and there are setups to get around tag crashes and they are backturned combos which leads to damage over 65%. And if one character dies, the round is over. So it's not like having 180hp x2.
@@DigiCount that's the point of my comment. People talk like it's easy *just don't do that or just do this". There is no a correct solution. If don't tag you can die by taking the mixup. Sometimes you need to poke back because the opponent is waiting for the tag, but this could make you eat counter hits.
@@paradiseb5950 So you didn't play the same game as me. Rage damage is ridiculous. You could delete characters with Lars, Bruce, Leo, Nina, Capos easily in rage. You could literally die in one combo and it's completely practical. The risk x reward was good on the offensive side, as hopkicks could lead to 100dmg (more in rage) but punishing it did like 30dmg. Other characters could destroy you just by poking in rage like Jinpachi, Feng and Paul. The damage, specially in rage, was clearly an issue. But the game was fun as hell. We had all the characters in the series (- Gon) and reintroduced me as a Tekken player. I had a blast playing it but sometimes was really really tough.
Tekken Tag 2 is probably the most fun I've had from a fighting game in a casual setting. I just spontaneously bought it for the Wii U for my 20th birthday party, and ALL of my friends who showed up had such a fun time playing 2v2s, including those who rarely play fighting games. But yes I can totally see how this game is complete torture in a competitive setting ._.
this is still one of the greatest tekken games of all time. me and my best friend go back to it alllll the time but we NEVER play it like a TAG game. we play solo only every single time.
Favorite tekken!!! I barely play online anyways so I was super sad to see tekken bowling as a dlc for tekken 7 instead of a “tag team” mode so I can couch co-op 4 player with my friends
This is really funny because it’s the first fighting game I’ve ever played and has been my favourite for quite a while because of it. Yet again another game I like is hated by the rest of its community..
It's one of my favorite Tekkens. Best thing about it is nearly all characters are included in the box and some bonus characters are free if you pre ordered at GameStop. Unlike this season pass bs
You also lost rage by using Tag Crash and Tag Assault. Sometimes people would do a Tag Assault to take rage from the fighting character if they had more health than the assist character, because Tag Assault automatically gave it to the assist character.
yeap and it's your character.... off the screen that gets the rage, when your character on the screen is getting beaten up. That makes it harder to use rage. You want to use your rage? you can .... just tag in your 2nd character. But you have to make the swapping character process not obvious, because when you do a raw tag out/in you're very open to getting hit, or even launched. There are plenty, plenty of ways to tag in your character.....For your opponent there are also ways to prevent you from tagging out.
did you play TTT2? I played it a lot. It was my first competitive tekken, and it was hell on Earth to get good... PS: You forgot to show how broken was a SOLO player in rage against a Tag.

Yet people complain about tekken 7 combo damage. Yet these new tekken fans never believe me when I tell them how broken tag 2 is hell tekken 6 was fucked remember bob back then.
Tekken 7 is more broken than TTT2. You didn't have to deal with Geese or Akuma bullshit in TTT2. There were no broken comeback mechanics with rage.
Also there are 2 characters. You take a half damage combo in Tag 2, you turtle up and tag in your fresh character while the other one regenerates health. Take a half damage combo in 7, you're one combo away from death.
@@DigiCount also nobody was complaining about the game being broken at the time. Nobody complained about Eddy's b+2,4 except in retrospect because of guys like TMM. Imagine thinking a game is broken because of Eddy LOL.
@@holden6104 TMM knows what he talks about LMAO
4 had to be sidestepoed whaich was hard and the stagger from slippery kicks was bad. KAZ couldnt do ws2 since even with stagger on block u had to time your ws punish lmao
Tag 2 everyone was broken so no one was broken. Tekken 7 only a few ppl are are so it's extremely noticeable. Akuma and geese can erase you and that's it.
That Paul Rage damage is diabolical
I love how it's all about combos, technical stuff or something that a few characters had like capos and ewgf and then... Paul in rage
So what's the difference between the wall carry/wallsplat damage here vs in tekken 7 cause it's almost like same
I played that game religiously. My mains were Forest/Marshall Law and Lars/Leo
Dude how do you even do that quick Back rolling combo what's the move set tell me im still a newbie
Despite all of these, I just love Jin's pic on the health bar, kinda sick
I may be broken asf, but it is still my favorite tekken game to play offline, survival and ghost battle are fun and the dept of personalization gives you a reason to farm money and unlock new clothes
But you forget you had 2 characters and the other one has full bar! So a combo is basically 1/4 of your complete health
If you recklessly raw tag, you will eat another launcher into another 1/2. You can use Tag Crash, but you lose your rage and red life, and there are setups to get around tag crashes and they are backturned combos which leads to damage over 65%. And if one character dies, the round is over. So it's not like having 180hp x2.
@@lucasbiff2196 the correct answer is "don't tag recklessly."
@@DigiCount exactly. I know the game has flaws but the way everyone exaggerates combo dmg like you only have one character… i never understood that.
@@DigiCount that's the point of my comment. People talk like it's easy *just don't do that or just do this". There is no a correct solution. If don't tag you can die by taking the mixup. Sometimes you need to poke back because the opponent is waiting for the tag, but this could make you eat counter hits.
@@paradiseb5950 So you didn't play the same game as me. Rage damage is ridiculous. You could delete characters with Lars, Bruce, Leo, Nina, Capos easily in rage. You could literally die in one combo and it's completely practical. The risk x reward was good on the offensive side, as hopkicks could lead to 100dmg (more in rage) but punishing it did like 30dmg.
Other characters could destroy you just by poking in rage like Jinpachi, Feng and Paul. The damage, specially in rage, was clearly an issue.
But the game was fun as hell. We had all the characters in the series (- Gon) and reintroduced me as a Tekken player. I had a blast playing it but sometimes was really really tough.
And people now appreciate this game
Nah tekken tag 2 was the best, new gens know nothing.
I only ever played this in the arcade, and only a few times. All I wanted to do was execute those cool-looking tag out combos. I never did.
Tekken Tag 2 is probably the most fun I've had from a fighting game in a casual setting. I just spontaneously bought it for the Wii U for my 20th birthday party, and ALL of my friends who showed up had such a fun time playing 2v2s, including those who rarely play fighting games.
But yes I can totally see how this game is complete torture in a competitive setting ._.
Never played this online, only with friends and we had a very good time
this is still one of the greatest tekken games of all time. me and my best friend go back to it alllll the time but we NEVER play it like a TAG game. we play solo only every single time.
None of these are weaknesses at all.
It's funny because tag 2 was my first tekken game and I've been hooked since
Been around since the 1st one and this is my favorite outside of comp.
Favorite tekken!!! I barely play online anyways so I was super sad to see tekken bowling as a dlc for tekken 7 instead of a “tag team” mode so I can couch co-op 4 player with my friends
Omen stance Jin with D.Jin is just so fun to play
This games combo videos tho were lit af
This is really funny because it’s the first fighting game I’ve ever played and has been my favourite for quite a while because of it. Yet again another game I like is hated by the rest of its community..
Dude this looks awesome where can I find it
Paul in rage is hilarious. I remember as a kid I liked how he could melt in one of his hard/charged strikes.
I will say, combo skill expression was at its peak in this game and thats why I love it lol
I don't give a damn what haters hate. I will always love Tag 2.
It's one of my favorite Tekkens. Best thing about it is nearly all characters are included in the box and some bonus characters are free if you pre ordered at GameStop. Unlike this season pass bs
My first and only other tekken I’ve played other than seven and now eight and I love it especially that intro
Oh yeah, let’s not forget about the Snoop Dogg collab
Wasn't rage damage boost in TTT2 temporary? You only had like 10 seconds to utilize it otherwise it was gone?
You also lost rage by using Tag Crash and Tag Assault. Sometimes people would do a Tag Assault to take rage from the fighting character if they had more health than the assist character, because Tag Assault automatically gave it to the assist character.
10 seconds in Tekken? I could prepare a thesis by then.
yeap and it's your character.... off the screen that gets the rage, when your character on the screen is getting beaten up. That makes it harder to use rage.
You want to use your rage? you can .... just tag in your 2nd character.
But you have to make the swapping character process not obvious, because when you do a raw tag out/in you're very open to getting hit, or even launched. There are plenty, plenty of ways to tag in your character.....For your opponent there are also ways to prevent you from tagging out.
I hate playing ranked in tekken tag tournament either you get spammed to death or get hit with one combo that takes 75 percent of your life
Basically all tekken is about spam combo 😂
TTT2 will always be one of the most fun and exciting Tekken games to ever exist.
Hated by many, loved by most.
I mean thats every tagged fighting game idk what they expected
Thats why "fans" love tag series because its broken
How about in Comparison with Tekken Tag 2 Prologue?
We need more stages with people
Ttt2 was the best game in tekken franchise, me and my wife love this game
I'm surprised you didn't mention clone character teams
Paul be like: ⬇️↘️➡️🔼 ,bye bye health bar
For competition, you're gonna hate it. But for me , i love this game.
Most hated because of the range of characters u had to know to fight against
did you play TTT2? I played it a lot. It was my first competitive tekken, and it was hell on Earth to get good... PS: You forgot to show how broken was a SOLO player in rage against a Tag.
Tekken Tag 2 in 18 seconds for that last eddy scene
Eddie was only hard to shut down when you are very new.
One of if not the most fun tekken game to date
Thank God they changed how backroll worked in T7.
Yup, now Akuma is the only character that can decimate you. Enjoy that lmfao
@@sorakazama7031 LMAO THE RATIO HOLY SHITTTT
@@qweqweqwadcsc ratio? This ain't Twitter bro.
They hate it because it’s too damn fun 😏
Haters are just soar losers. Tekken Tag is completely separate. I love this game!
the earth divides into two
T7 Does that already with rage
I miss this game so much. Mad fun.
TTT2 rules! It’s like a complete Tekken with every character.
High level play is so far above my ability it makes no difference to me anyway 🤷♂️
It has 2 life bars and regeneration for a reason.
I never played it as an adult, but i wish i could know just because of the customization 😂❤
