By pressing both Punch buttons and Tag simultaneously, the partner character will dive in from the air. It requires the active character to be grounded and the inactive character to have Rage available. The Tag Crash system gives players a way to tag in safely while under pressure. However, Tag Assault doesn't eliminate red health, and will always give the opponent's partner Rage. The partner will jump in, losing all of their red health in the process, and the player can perform one attack string before control is passed back to the original point character.

Some pairings have special Tag Throws their method of activation varies per team.īy pressing Tag during a Bound move (or both Punch buttons and Tag to create a generic bound), the player will perform a Tag Assault. Pressing Right Punch and Tag together performs a Tag Throw, which switches characters while eating the opponent's red health. The player's inactive character runs in, and the resulting combo will eliminate part of the opponent's red health. Solo characters receive Rage at 50% health, at near-death, and whenever hit with a Tag Assault.īy pressing the Tag button while performing a launcher, the player will perform a Tag Combo. The damage required to activate Rage is partially dependent on in-story character relationships: for example, Heihachi will receive Rage faster than normal if Kuma is the active character, but will receive it much later than normal if his partner is Jin or Kazuya. When enough damage is taken, the partner's life-bar will flash, and tagging them in will allow them to deal more damage for a short while. Rage is a comeback mechanic state that is enabled for the inactive character once the point character has received a certain amount of damage. Unlike most tag-based fighting games, red health is not lost whenever a character is tagged in normally. Inactive partners slowly recover any 'red' health that they may have received from taking damage while active. Tagging is accomplished with a fifth 'tag' button. (Local matches default to best-of-3, while ranked online matches are best-of-5.) A round ends when one character is knocked out, regardless of the health of their partner. In TTT2, matches still consist of best-of-3 or best-of-5 sets. This section will exclusively cover the game's tag mechanics. Tekken Tag Tournament 2 is a combination of Tekken 6's mechanics and the previous Tekken TAG's 2-on-2 system. Bundled with Tekken Tag Tournament HD and the 3D CGI film Tekken: Blood Vengeance 3D, this version only includes four characters ( Kazuya Mishima and Jin Kazama in their 'Devil' forms, and film protagonists Ling Xiaoyu and Alisa Bosconovitch) and an offline-only arcade mode. This console version was later ported to the Wii U on Novem(as a launch title) as Tekken Tag Tournament 2: Wii U Edition, featuring a bonus mini-game (Tekken Ball), touch-based controls (using the Wii U Gamepad), and bonus costumes based on popular Nintendo franchises.Ī special demo of the game (known as Tekken Tag Tournament 2 Prologue) was included in the Tekken Hybrid compilation for the PlayStation 3 on November 22, 2011. The online multiplayer used a special online service (called the 'World Tekken Federation', later discontinued) for stat-tracking and originally required a $9.99 Online Pass DLC.

Along with online multiplayer, this version features additional returning characters, stereoscopic 3D support, customizable soundtracks (with music from previous games as DLC), a special 'Fight Lab' mode (where players learn the mechanics of the game while unlocking new abilities for a customizable training robot), and a special pre-order stage featuring the likeness and music of rapper Snoop Dogg. The Unlimited version was later ported to the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 worldwide on Septemunder its original Tekken Tag Tournament 2 name. Along with customization updates and character balances, this version includes a new ratio system (allowing players to fight with a solo character, changing the Rage system to that in Tekken 6: Bloodline Rebellion) and a 'pair play' mode (where players team up, each controlling a single character).
