The Beauty of Tekken Tag Games

Tekken Tag 2 - Best of Special Tag Throw & Great Combo Exhibition, these throw animations has a great personality back then. Tag Mode in Tekken 8 could also be an interesting option.

[@TylerMcNamer]

What makes both Tag games spectacular is watching your favorite characters fighting as a team; that sense of character building and community is what makes the duology extra special.

[@TylerMcNamer]

@Harri Kirvesniemi You're so right about that!

[@JustSoji]

My favorites are ones like Kaz and Heihachi where they hate each other and take cheap shots at each other while still fighting an opponent

[@Silvershire]

I don't care what anyone says, Tag 2 is the best game in the series

[@E24KLawson]

@@Monolith_1 Poor marketing, or lack thereof, will do that. Same thing happened with Urban Reign, which only sold 20,000+ copies.

[@arteztx]

It was easily the funnest thing ever. Right when t7 came out I was like mannnn, no way it's gonna be as fun as ttt2. Imagine if ttt2 had all these patches an updates on balance etc, would've been so killer

[@supergogeta840]

@E24K Lawson i would say it has to be the balancing issues, they didn't care about making the combos much more fair

[@UltimateShadow10]

Both Tag Tournaments hold a special place in my heart, Tekken 3 was revolutionary, but I never considered it to be better than Tekken Tag 1.

[@wardogthreeisanidiot6561]

Same for me, I hold both Tag games in pretty high regard, Tag 2 being the best Tekken game ever of course, and Tag 1 was very flawed and could get very boring at high levels of play (because backdash was so strong there) but it was fun at the arcades nevertheless. It was still better than both Tekken 3 AND Tekken 4 so it remained a stalwart title for the Tekken community during the early 2000's until 2005 when T5 finally dethroned it.

[@THEELEMENTKH]

Tag 1 and 2 will always have a special place in my heart Tag 1 for nostalgia and Tag 2 for being the best Tekken game ever

[@wardogthreeisanidiot6561]

Yeah exactly, same for me, Tag 2 was the best game ever, and Tag 1, while flawed, was one of the funniest.

[@mza5949]

[@lwandomadikizela2213]

Tekken Tag 2 may not sold well but it's a fitting tribute from the devs who put their heart and soul to Tekken.

[@E24KLawson]

You can't watch this compilation of special interactions and Easter eggs and tell me that both Tekken Tag Tournament games weren't certified love letters to the franchise as a whole. It's a shame that TTT2 ended up selling the worst out of all the games, though, because imagining the amount of content, attention to detail, and love the developers would have given a hypothetical Tekken Tag Tournament 3 makes my heart ache.

[@wardogthreeisanidiot6561]

If only Namco had supported and backed Tag 2 up just as much as they did to Kekken 7. They let Tag 2 down themselves. Having it ride on the back of some rapper like Snoop Dogg for publicity was an awful move. As was to never release it on Steam.

[@armanclark]

Maybe we'll get one after 8

[@E24KLawson]

@@armanclarkConsidering the fact that TTT2 only sold 1.5 million copies, which is less than the amount of copies T1 sold, I highly doubt that TTT3 is ever happening.

[@TheBardorp]

@@E24KLawson I don't know, I just assume they'll do it after Tekken 9. Keep the tradition of Tag after 3 going.

[@Raver-1601]

@@E24KLawson I'm still keeping my hopes up. Tekken 7 is a completely new way Bamco handled Tekken games and since Tag 3 won't be out for at least a decade with the pace they're going, I'm sure they will have the time to fund and learn from their mistakes for Tag 3

0:19 I never seen this! I should try this too. Man, Bosconovitch tag moves with Alisa and Yoshmitsu were great. 1:47 Putting Alex on a test 2:04 how did you do it!? I kinda laughed when Unknown transformed to Devil when she was using Kazuya's moveset. 2:50 that was brutal!

[@necroheartplucker]

To change Unknown's fighting style (like anytime in a round) in TTT1, you just press the left stick (L3 button). Though it resets to Jun's fighting style in the next round. I think it's a programming error where Unknown and Tetsujin/Mokujin can turn into Devil Kazuya if they were using Kazuya's fighting style. It was fun to watch but feels so wrong.

[@leoluster5424]

King coming in with the lariat in tag torny one surprised the hell out of me

[@vinceamaro1382]

0:05 this segment is so cool and mind-blowing. Something that is expected in Tekken 8.

[@Pluvillion]

This game was a tribute to Tekken’s history as well as a final tribute to bound moves. I’ve been an Alisa main since 2010, and TTT2 made me a modern Jun main since 2014. Here’s to hoping there would be a TTT3; the new characters from T7 would be an awesome bunch to play as/with!

[@Ironbagel634]

Tag 2 may not have sold well and was competitively busted, but what other game let’s you duke it out with your opponent in the middle of Snoop Dogg’s concert with your Tekken character cosplaying Mario/Luigi/Toad/Link/Zelda/Zero Suit Samus/Fox?

[@K_Narat]

Not only those cosplays but you can p much make anyone look like anyone outside the game. The customization system is still peak here. Like I remember already seeing Lucky Chloe, Claudio etc. customs in Tag2 when T7 wasn't even golbally released yet for Vanilla.

[@itsalmost2am525]

had to say that TTT1 was the very first video game I've played as a child. 7-year-old me would be so happy to find out that Tekken is still thriving and that we have a new one coming ahead.

Jin and Lars tag throw, Bryan and Dragonuv are my fav. I legit didn't know about the Miguel and Kazuya throw

[@maiastniki]

Tag 2 had so much content that wasn't dlc (even tho there was a little) or a season pass that I wish current fighting games were still made that way but they essentially have to live with them now

[@Firebrand511]

Tekken Tag 1 and 2 will always hold a special place in my heart. The first one blew my childhood mind, I couldn't comprehend that the characters from the first 3 games were all there. I played it all day at the arcades and would cry, kicking and screaming when my mom had to physically drag me away from the arcade machine. That game was truly something beautiful. While the second one was a constant presence in game nights with friends in my college days and Pair Play vs became our way to bond. Tekken Tag 1 and 2 are truly a celebration of all things awesome about Tekken and I'm thankful for all the memories these games and the Tekken series as a whole has given me in my life.

[@ashtonbyrd3686]

I actually enjoy playing tag 2 and tag 1.They can both be fun despite of their problems alongside being a bit broken in some ways lol. But they feel like small love letters in their own ways in which I appreciate them for it.

[@richardmorris7332]

Law and Marshall team up combo crazy

[@radiantansel202]

After replaying Tag 1 and 2 recently, I discovered that for me at least, playing Tekken with a single character starts to feel wrong after a bit. Don't get me wrong, Tag is a spin-off, yes, but there is such a magic and the goddamn attention to detail in both entries (Tag 2 in particular has literally small easter eggs thrown in every single corner you can think of), that I can't really play normal Tekken anymore. Tag 2 was also the first time ever I really put time into any game in the series. Tag was also one of the best party games I played with friends, either with Pair-Play or the minigames as well. I really wish we could get another Tag game, at the very least as a sort of extra mode like the GBA title did (Tekken Advance basically has a Tag 1 mode included)

[@TheGamersState]

Said it once and I'll say it again; Tekken Tag Tournament is Tekken at it's best. None of that story nonsense, just pure raw gameplay filled with customization, great selection of modes, amazing roster, fan service, and hilarious character endings.
