#Tekken tag series

Unlike the original Tekken Tag Tournament, the game's sequel features a storyline although it is still not the series canon. It also features optional touch-based controls using the system's gamepad, as well as costumes based on Nintendo media franchise. The Wii U Edition includes the return of the mini-game Tekken Ball from Tekken 3 and a 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 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 allows players to customize their fighters with various accessories. 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 features various modes, allowing players to choose between Tag Team (2 vs 2), Single (1 vs 1), or Handicap Matches ( 2 vs 1 or 1 vs 2), options for four players to play in a single match, and various online modes. As the opponent falls, the tag partner is waiting at the bottom to continue the combo. For instance, an example of the system shown has the player slamming their opponent into wall, which breaks and the opponent goes flying, landing in a new area where the fight continues. The game features a 'stage gimmick' system. ДЇeatures suggested by Katsuhiro Harada include recording in Practice mode as well as a Tutorial, to make the game more accessible for new players. Character customization is also featured, similar to past Tekken games. The game 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, some of which featuring walls and floors that can be broken through during the fight. Tag combos (referred to as 'Tag Assaults') can be done simultaneously with both characters participating in the combo at the same time. New techniques include combined tag throws which, if timed properly, can be escaped from. The gameplay expands on the tag mechanics featured in the first Tekken Tag, allowing for extended tag combos and combined moves. If time runs out, the player who has the most cumulative life remaining amongst their fighters wins the round. If the life bar of either of a player's fighters runs out, that player loses the round. At certain points, an inactive character's life bar may flash, giving them a temporary boost in strength if they are tagged in. Players are able to switch their fighters out at any time, allowing the inactivating character to gradually recover some life they might have lost. The new game engine of Tekken Tag Tournament 2 allows up to four characters to appear on the screen at the same timeДЄs in the original Tekken Tag Tournament, matches involve each player selecting two fighters to fight with. Tekken Tag Tournament 2 has been positively received by critics, earning averaged review scores in the range of 82-83% at both GameRankings and Metacritic for the PlayStation 3, Wii U and Xbox 360 versions, as well as several fighting-game-of-the-year awards. Players can choose either a team of two characters on each side or a solo character. Like the original Tekken Tag Tournament (1999), the game includes almost every character from past Tekken games, giving it the largest playable roster in a Tekken game to date. It is the eighth installment in the Tekken fighting game series. It was ported to the Wii U as one of the system's launch titles in November 2012, subtitled Wii U Edition.
