wow...who will be strongest team??? :D

Tekken Tag Tournament 2 (鉄拳タッグトーナメント2 Tekken Taggu Tōnamento 2) is the eighth main installment in the Tekken fighting game series, and is the successor to the 1999 game, Tekken Tag Tournament. The game was released in Japanese arcades on September 14, 2011 and received an update, subtitled Unlimited, released on March 27, 2012 in Japanese arcades. A console version based on the update was released for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 in September 2012, and will be released for the Wii U on the console's launch day.




The new engine allows up to four characters appear on the screen at the same time.

As in the original Tekken Tag Tournament, matches involve each player selecting two fighters to fight with. Players are able to switch their fighters out at any time, allowing the inactive character to gradually recover some life they might have lost. At certain points, an inactive character's life bar may flash, giving them a temporary boost in strength if they are tagged in. If the life bar of either of a player's fighters runs out, that player loses the round. If time runs out, the player who has the most cumulative life remaining amongst their fighters wins the round.

The gameplay expands on the tag mechanics featured in the first Tekken Tag, allowing for extended tag combos and combined moves. New techniques include combined tag throws which, if timed properly, can be escaped from. Tag combos (referred to as "Tag Assaults") can now be done simultaneously with both characters participating in the combo at the same time. The game also inherits gameplay features from Tekken 6, such as "Bound" hits (hits that slam an airborne opponent to the ground and stun them so combos can be extended) and walled arenas. Character-customization is also featured, similar to past Tekken games.

Features suggested by Harada include recording in Practice mode as well as a Tutorial to bring new players into the fold more smoothly than has been possible in the past. The game features a "stage gimmick" system. An example of the system shown in Famitsu has the player slamming his opponent into wall, which breaks and the opponent goes flying, landing in a new area where the fight continues. As the opponent falls, the tag partner is waiting at the bottom to continue the combo.

The game features various modes, allowing players to choose between 2 vs 2, 1 vs 1 or 2 vs 1 battles, options for four players to play in a single match, and various online modes. Along with returning modes such as Arcade, Versus, Team Battle, Time Attack and Survival, a new mode called Fight Lab allows players to train a Combot through various challenges. The game also features various items that can alter the gameplay, ranging from weapons such as firearms and hammer hats to superficial items such as specialized KOs, and also allows players to customise their fighters with various accessories.

The Wii U Edition will feature an exclusive Mushroom Battle mode in which various mushrooms from the Mario series litter the arena, causing players to grow or shrink in size or take extra damage. The Wii U Edition will also feature optional touch-based controls using the system's gamepad, as well as exclusive costumes based on Nintendo franchises, such as Mario, Metroid, Star Fox and The Legend of Zelda.


Plot

Unlike the original Tekken Tag Tournament, Tekken Tag Tournament 2 features a storyline although it is still not canon. The main story mode is "Fight Lab". Just like last time, it is more of a "dream match", giving fans the opportunity to play as almost every character in the series up to that point, including some of those that had apparently been missing in the main Tekken storyline, in addition to the character roster of Tekken 6.

Violet is working on a new version of Combot. As soon as Combot is complete, Violet begins its simulation test. After the simulation test, the Combot explodes and destroys the lab. So Violet decides to use the other functioning Combot to complete the tests.
Characters

The arcade version features all 41 playable characters from Tekken 6 (including Panda except now with her own character slot) along with Jun Kazama from Tekken 2, True Ogre (known in-game as just Ogre) from Tekken 3 and Jinpachi Mishima from Tekken 5 all with updated character designs. Devil Kazuya from the original Tekken also makes an appearance but as an in-game transformation of Kazuya and Unknown from the original Tekken Tag Tournament also reappears as the unplayable final boss, though she is confirmed to become playable in the console version via downloadable content. The game also introduces a masked character named Jaycee, an alter-ego of Julia Chang. The console release of the game features a total of 59 characters, including the return of Kunimitsu, Michelle Chang and Prototype Jack from the original Tekken, Angel and Alex from Tekken 2, Tiger Jackson, Forest Law, Dr. Boskonovitch and Ancient Ogre (originally known as just Ogre) from Tekken 3, as well as Tekken 4's Miharu Hirano, Violet and Combot, the latter of which can be customized with various moves from other characters. Also, a slim version of Bob from his Tekken 6 ending and Sebastian, Lili's butler, are set to make their debut as playable characters via DLC.[18]

Unlike previous installments, certain characters who originally didn't speak in their native language, now do. Characters include Lili and Sebastian who now speak French, Eddy and Christie speaking Portuguese, Dr. Boskonovitch speaking Russian, Leo speaking German and Miguel speaking Spanish. This change doesn't affect all characters as there are still some who still do not speak in their native language with no backstory explaining why (e.g. Lei).

Development

The Wii U Edition will also feature exclusive content, including a game mode that uses power-ups from Nintendo's Super Mario series, such as Mega Mushrooms and Poison Mushrooms, an optional touch-based control scheme utilizing the gamepad controller, and character costumes based on Nintendo franchises, including Super Mario Bros., Metroid, Star Fox, and The Legend of Zelda.[7] Originally, when the Wii U console was first shown at the E3 2011 in Los Angeles, Namco announced that they would develop a Tekken game exclusively for the Wii U, which was untitled at the time.[30] However, at E3 2012, it was announced that Tekken Tag Tournament 2 would come to the Wii U, which was already going to come to the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.[31] Since Tekken Advance marked the franchises debut on Nintendo platforms, Tekken Tag Tournament 2 marks the first time the Tekken franchise appears on a Nintendo home console.

Tekken Tag Tournament 2 Unlimited

Tekken Tag Tournament 2 Unlimited is an update to original arcade release, Tekken Tag Tournament 2. It features a number of new items and customization options. It also gives the game a balance update from characters and items. It was released to Japanese arcades on March 27, 2012 and the console version of Tekken Tag Tournament 2 is based on this arcade version.
In the Unlimited version, the player can switch a ratio between Tag mode and Solo mode ("2 vs 2", "1 vs 2" or "1 vs 1"). There is also a "Pair Play" mode, which allows four players to fight simultaneously in pairs of two, much like the "Scramble Mode" in Street Fighter X Tekken. The Unlimited version also features the "Rage" system from Tekken 6 for Solo mode characters, and the new tag partner Rage system from the original arcade version of Tag Tournament 2 for Tag mode characters only. "Rage" gives characters more damage per hit when their vitality is below a certain point. Once activated, a reddish energy aura appears around the character, and their health bar starts to flicker in red. The "Netsu Power" appears when an on-screen character gets attacked a certain amount of times and the off-screen character's lifebar flashes. If the on-screen character tags out while the off-screen character's lifebar is flashing, the tagged character becomes slightly stronger.

onsole version

The console version of Tekken Tag Tournament 2 was released on the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 in September 2012, and will be on the Wii U during Winter 2012. The console version is based on the Unlimited version, and features new characters in addition to the 44 already in the arcade version of the game, as well as new stages and an entirely new Practice Mode called "Fight Lab" featuring Combot as a customisable training dummy. The new "Fight Lab" mode serve as a practicing ground for both beginners and advanced players with customisable bots.
The console version of Tekken Tag Tournament 2 support 3D and the effects is customizable. The feature is available on both PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. There is also a new feature called "Tekken Tunes", which allows players to swap music around the game and import their own music. Additionally, there is a new online service called "World Tekken Federation" that will allow players to keep track of their overall stats and even which moves they had used in a match. Players can also create teams, compete in online competitions, and discuss game-related topics in forums. A real-time worldwide leaderboard is also included

Downloadable content

In April 2012, series producer Katsuhiro Harada stated that while no characters will ever be paid DLC, those who pre-order the game at select retailers will be able to play as one or more of the four DLC characters (Kunimitsu, Michelle Chang, Angel and Ancient Ogre) immediately at launch, but only for a limited period of time before the content is made available for free to all players.
On June 5, 2012 at E3, Namco Bandai announced a partnership with American rapper Snoop Dogg for content for Tekken Tag Tournament 2. Snoop recorded an original song for the game, titled "Knocc 'Em Down"; and also makes a special appearance as a non-playable character in "The Snoop Dogg Stage". The stage was offered as a free pre-order bonus.
On July 14, 2012 during Comic Con, Namco announced the "Big Bikini Bundle", which includes over 150 swimsuit outfits. The swimsuit DLC includes suits for all characters: male, female and animal. Also included are school swimsuits. The "Big Bikini Bundle" was available as a pre-order bonus in addition to the "Snoop Dogg Stage" and additional early access to DLC characters.
