Tag Assaults are combinations that are finally done simultaneously with both characters making for some spectacular looking beat downs. While the original Tekken Tag allowed for some combos and juggling with tagging characters, it has been greatly enhanced and now allows for extended move-sets and combinations. If you happen to see your health bar flashing, make sure you go on the offensive if possible, because you’re being given a temporary boost in strength when you tag. This makes it imperative to swap and tag your fighters in when needed and to keep an eye on each health bar. If a players’ life bar is emptied in battle, that player will lose the round, even if the backup character has a health reserve. As you swap out your current character for the secondary one, the one not in use will slowly regenerate a portion of their health if needed. The game is not called Tag Tournament for no reason, as you have the ability to tag in your secondary character whenever you choose. Not that you would expect a deep and engaging storyline from the majority of fighting games, Tekken Tag Tournament 2 still has ‘endings’ when you complete the Arcade Mode cheesy videos and all (I’m looking at you ending sequence for Ling Xiaoyu).

While Tekken Tag Tournament 2’s storyline may not be the “official” plot line (as some characters wouldn’t exist if so), it’s more of a ‘what if’ or super-fight matchup between all of the characters.

With the largest roster to date in a Tekken game you’re now also able to choose a team of a solo fighter or a team of two. Tekken Tag Tournament 2 boasts the same accomplishment and contains almost virtually every noteworthy Tekken character from all of the previous games. While the original Tekken Tag Tournament came out over a decade ago, it was known for boasting a huge roster with virtually all the characters from the previous titles. The Unlimited update for the game is what the console versions are based upon and now we have it in our homes, able to play our friends and enemies online. Tekken Tag Tournament 2 was originally an arcade only title, but eventually it received a substantial update, named Unlimited. Over the years the series has been refined and evolved into a deep fighter with a vast and unique roster with many characters that are easily recognizable by their face alone. Since its debut back in 1994 it has garnered fans with its unique fighting engine and deep gameplay mechanics. Ask a gamer what their favorite fighting game is and I’m certain a good percentage of them would list Tekken as their preferred fighter of choice.
