You can punch through arcade mode where you’re rewarded with endings if you can defeat Unknown. Making wacky characters is part of Tekken’s charm, but I found tailoring Combot into a fighter built for me to be more interesting.Įither way, there’s a lot of grinding to do. Just like Tekken 6, some items can be used in battle like bombs and sledgehammers. There’s also an assortment of wacky accessories like bear shields and battery backpacks to purchase too. Tekken Tag Tournament 2 has different tops, bottoms, sunglasses, and hats you can buy for each character. Fight Lab rewards players with points they can use to purchase moves for Combot (he can master attacks from other fighters) and Gold used to buy character customization items. If you play through Fight Lab mode twice (it’s harder the second time around) you’ll graduate from Tekken school with at least one character you can use – Combot. I think rage mode is kind of an equalizer for beginners since that boost, when using a solo character is enough to turn the tables. This gives you a temporary offensive boost kind of like the 'X-Factor' mechanic from Marvel vs. Totally lost? Tekken Tag Tournament 2 also has rage mode, which activates after you lose half of your life. This move drains your red (recoverable) life and can only be activated when you’re in rage mode, but it’s one way to switch characters while a weakened character is getting a beatdown. Finally, there’s the Tag Crash, a risky move that lets you call in your partner to attack while you tag out. Tag Assaults let you call in a partner to simultaneously attack an opponent. After launching the other player you can follow up with a Tag Combos by immediately tagging the other character. This takes off a nice chunk of blue health, which means the damage from a Tag Throw isn’t recoverable. Tag Throws (triangle + tag) let you safely switch characters while tossing an opponent. You start out learning how to move left and right all the way to Tag Assaults. Fight Lab mode teaches players the basics while they rebuild Combot. With moves like juggles and bounds (moves that slam the other player into the ground), there is a lot to learn in Tekken Tag Tournament 2 if you haven’t touched the series since the PS2 launch title Tekken Tag Tournament.

I suppose Pair Play mode is the ultimate beginner’s mode since you can make a friend, perhaps an expert Tekken player, your tag partner and tag them in the middle of a fight. Tekken producer Katsuhiro Harada explained to Siliconera he added 1 on 1 so arcade players who only know one Tekken character can get into Tekken Tag Tournament 2. 1 sounds unfair, but the solo player gets an offense and defense booth.
