Since the console version includes the content and balances found in the Arcade update, Tekken Tag Tournament 2 Unlimited, you also have the ability to play as one buffed solo character instead of a proper tag team. Mechanically, TTT 2 heavily follows in the footsteps of Tekken 6 before it, just with the added twist of tagging, and various tag-based special moves. Tag throws, Tag combos, Tag Assaults, and Tag Crashes all perform various functions such as tandem assaults, safe tagging, and the creation of combo openers. Although it’s a bit nonsensical (ok, it’s completely nonsensical), it adds to the appeal of learning the ropes - at least, it’s more appealing than just about any other fighting game training mode to date. There’s even a little mini-story attached to Fight Lab to help keep things a bit more interesting. Combot is actually a project employed by Violet Labs, as Violet struggles to create the ultimate weapon - and constantly harass his secretary in the process. It’s your job to learn everything there is to learn about Tekken‘s combat, and power up Combot in the process. Fight Lab puts you in command of Combot - a familiar character for fans of the series. Although I wouldn’t put it in the same pantheon of pugilism as the Virtua Fighter series, the fact is, Tekken both rewards split-second twitch decisions and lengthy planned combos and juggles, making it very hard to get into if you’re a newcomer.įor starters, by checking out the command list, you might be turned off by the fact that more than a few characters have well over 100 moves and combos. Thankfully, Namco Bandai wanted to lower the barrier of entry a bit with TTT 2, so they included a new extensive training mode called “Fight Lab” that should get you up to speed with the series. Tekken is an extremely technical series, which is one of the reasons I fell in love with it in the first place. Release: Septem(PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360) / Winter 2012 (Wii U)

Tekken Tag Tournament 2 (PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, Wii U) Naturally, considering the original Tekken Tag Tournament was my favorite pick of the franchise, I was extremely excited for the upcoming sequel. Join me on my adventure through Tekken Tag Tournament 2, as I try and decide whether or not to take up the Tekken flag once again.

For years to come, I would dabble in the Tekken universe, but nothing ever really caught my interest for more than a few months. I religiously played the series for hundreds of hours per iteration all the way up until Tekken 4, then I just kind of…stopped. I’m what you call and “on again off again” Tekken fan.
