Tekken Tag Tournament 2

Eric Kelso, Jack Merluzzi, and Peter von Gomm all happen to be in Mega Man ZX Advent as Aeolus, Master Albert, and Grey.

Anyway, back to TTT2.

What do you guys thing about the Special Winning and Game Over animations?

While there are some notable and unique, most of them are generic; really, I think King and Marduk are the only ones who look like they are a team, that their special animations were made just for them.

I hope the console release gets more of these animations, making them more unique in particular.

I always get a laugh at TTT 1 when I remember how Nina slaps Anna(or armlocks her in the tag intro) or how Heihachi spanks Lee in the butt like a child in both the tag intro and Continue screen(it even gets refferenced in Combot's ending in Tekken 4!!)does anyone know a complete list of special Intro and Continue screens of TTT 1?

No. It hasn't been documented. I've seen a fairly large number myself, so given the roster, I'd assume it's a sizable list.

Just a few off the top of my head:

• Hwo and Baek: The latter scolds the former
• Heihachi and Lee: the former spanks the latter
• Lei and Bryan: Lei sits on the ground like a lazy bum while Bryan yells at him (Lei actually does this for all his animations with Bryan for some reason, win or lose)
• Jin and Jun: Same as Nina and Anna's, but Jun slapping Jin. I've seen a youtube video of it but I've never personally seen it happen in the PS 2 version.
• Nina + various male characters: The former kicks the latter in the groin. Agony ensues.
• Nina and Bryan: The former kicks the latter in the groin. He just laughs it off.
• Kuma and Paul: I was wrong about this one. They both sit down opposite one another and turn away, angry like a couple of kids.
• Eddy/Tiger and Hwo: Hwo chews Eddy/Tiger out (Which he does in their opening too for some reason)

In any case, I've found a list so I'll pull out my PS 2 and try the rest.

Bryan LOVES being kicked in the balls,doubt he would care having children anyway,considering he's not much of a human anymore...

I tried a few more from the list:

• Armor King and King: Armor King's prone on the ground and King crawls over to him, tapping the ground beside him like he's trying to get him stand up. Saddest thing in the game, IMO.
• Heihachi and Kuma: they both sit next each other. Hei looks like he's meditating while Kuma looks like a five year old with ADD trying his best to meditate.
• Ganryu and Michelle: Ganryu grovels at Michelle's feet while she walks away and does this weird looking gang sign thing with her fist.
• Ganryu and Julia: Same as Nina with various men she doesn't like.
• Paul and Law: They perform a synchronized head tilting dance.
• Bryan and Anna: Same as him and Nina
• Heihachi and Yoshi: They meditate together.
• Hwo and Lei: Lei chews Hwo out. Kid can't catch a break.
• Ling and Wang: Ling's scolding him while his back seems to be giving out.
• Lei and Bruce: They argue.

The Jin and Jun slap is a hack, it's a model swap from Nina and Anna's.

Dunno what video you saw, but whoever said it's legit, it's lying.

This, right?

Yeah, it's a hack using Jun and Jin in place of Nina and Anna.

Yes, this one.

but I gotta handle to the makers of it, seeing how Jin turned out to be and then watching this, it creates quite a reaction.

Jin must have forgot how much a nag his mother could be.

The best comments for that video are stuff like "Mom... Xiaoyu is pregnant", "IT'S ALL BECAUSE YOU AND DAD ABANDONED ME!", and anything regarding Asuka's ending in 5.

Hells yeah at Tag 2 Unlimited. Hoping for a console release before Christmas 2012, but it's not likely.

Any news if Kunimitsu or such are coming back in Unlimited? I'd rejoice if Dr. B or Gon returned.

Nothing yet. And given Harada's interview from a page or two back, Kuni's chances seem slim (which means that everyone else's are even lower).

Even still, the roster we have right now isn't half bad by any shot. At least Jun is back.

Oh, don't get me wrong. I'm perfectly content with what we have currently, but it's a shame that Harada's pretty much like "Hahahahaha—no" in regards to the others. Bringing back everyone is the entire point of the Tag games in the first place. Heck, everyone thought that the whole Jaycee thing was done specifically to differentiate Julia enough to justify including Michelle. And seeing as both Jun and Asuka are here and Yoshi had his moveset revamped a bit in 6, there's really no reason the devs couldn't bring back Kuni if they actually put forth the effort.

Something worth reading

Well, that's something, at least the some of the silly Tekken endings woundn't be out of place in Tag 2.

It could be even better, if this is some sort of preview for Jun's comeback in the main series.

That's actually a very good point, I can't believe I didn't think of that before.

If they do something about the story this time around, great. If not, I won't have any love lost. I'm sure it will be good either way.

If they could do something of that nature, it'd be a nice addition. I wouldn't be expecting it to actually happen, but it'd be appreciated all the same.

And as for silly endings, the series has had a fairly unchanging ratio of serious to silly endings. Even 5 and 6 had their fair share, so it'd be par for the course at this point.

Tekken Tag Tournament was actually the first Tekken I ever played, and I still have it, along with 5 (which I only just remembered I owned). I'm not really sure about getting back into the series right now. I'm thinking of picking up six and getting SFXT down the line, but that one's really more of a Street Fighter game with Tekken characters. Just how good is TTT 2? Are we talking like the ultimate Tekken experience?

I honestly don't know what to tell you since I haven't been to an arcade and tried it out for myself. It certainly looks fun, though.

Yeah same here. I'm going to wait until it comes out for us console peasants. Then the real fun begins. Why? The Troper asskicking commences.

I still can't believe Harada's sticking behind that bs "lol arcade data" excuse when Jun Kazama alone is generating hype for TTT2, moreso than any other character. I agree completely with this guy. Why focus on "arcade data" when that's purely on the basis of arcade goers and tournament-level players who pick characters solely on the basis of tier standings? That Julia argument nailed it.
