Nice, although I hope this is as good as TT1, but they change that stupid rule where when a single character is out you lose at least as an option.

Should be nice, so long as no terrible story is tacked on to the game.

Hello everyone! MarkMan and Ace R. here! We’re live from Tougeki 2010 covering all things TEKKEN related!
Special thanks to Bandai Namco Games and the TEKKEN Project team for having us out here to cover the event!
TEKKEN TAG TOURNAMENT 2 General Info:
As everyone knows… The previously announced Street Fighter X TEKKEN and TEKKEN X Street Fighter titles are part of an overall “Fighting Game Festival.” But, the first title in the “festival” is announced today (at TOUGEKI)… TEKKEN TAG TOURNAMENT 2. Tentatively scheduled for a Summer 2011 arcade release in Japan.
TEKKEN fans are in for a real treat as the order of releases for games will be:
1. TEKKEN TAG TOURNAMENT 2 2. Street Fighter X TEKKEN 3. TEKKEN X Street Fighter
Today’s teaser trailer is in-game footage, not CG. It might look similar to TEKKEN 6, but the graphics engine has been tweaked/improved to support up to 4 characters on screen at once. The character models were redone from TEKKEN 6 moving onward to TTT2.
TTT2 will follow the same control scheme as the original Tekken Tag Tournament: One stick for movement and 5 action buttons. As seen in the teaser, there will be tag combos involving both characters tagging in and out-in succession to complete multi-hit combos/juggles. Walled stages remain and breakable walls/floors are still in the game. New mechanics and stage features will also be implemented. As seen in the trailer, there are some possible unique attacks depending on the character teams that are chosen (Ex. Jin & Asuka).
Several characters are featured in the trailer, but the character lineup will not be announced for some time.

Sounds very promising.

Tag with walls sounds problematic.

Looks interesting, I might watch out for this.

I love them in Tekken 6. I'm just concerned how they'll be balanced out with a tag engine. The stages will need to be bigger for one.

I'm more concerned about having to deal with even more characters. Can't we go back to the time Tekken had 20 - 25 characters?
And I have to learn a second character too. Now, who is going to have a special tag move with Steve? I'm guessing either Lei or Paul. Ugh. I'd rather have Tekken 7.

There's only a few character they can add back in anyway.

Also, you don't have to buy. If Tekken x Street Fighter is also a tag game, I'll probably just wait for that.
TAG2 Arcade ---> SF x TK ---> TAG2 console ---> TK x SF
I don't see TxSF being released before 2013. Perhaps the console version will be for the next PS system...?

I'm not so sure of that. There are ton of fighters coming out in 2011 so they'll probably heavily work on it.

I think it's because a lot of fighters are coming out then that they don't want to rush it, best to let the competition go by sometimes, lest you get your shit lower than others.

I don't like his new face. He looks too old.
New tag throws are sexy.

More like oh shit did Jin just throw out his unblockable in a tag wall combo and land it? Paul and Law's tag combo was madness as well, unless each character was being controlled by a different person. That looked impossible for one person to do.

What happened to her? Oh wait, I suppose this means Michelle is coming back with Julia's current moveset. Meh.

Someone said regular Julia is confirmed to be in the game as well though, although I don't recall seeing her in any videos or scans.

So according to Famitsu:
The rage system will be making a return as well, but things won?t work exactly as it did in Tekken 6. This time around, it will be your partner who will go into rage mode once the requirements are met. Oh yeah, and the requirements to go into rage mode will depend on the characters in your team. So it may be easier or harder to activate it depending on your character choice. Some of the examples that they gave in the Famitsu article are Asuka and Jin not getting along if they are teamed up, or Lars and Heihachi being oblivious to their relationship when they are on the same team.
Interesting idea, but it limits your options if you want to take full advantage of the rage system. Especially if you're planning to use the Mishimas, Jacks, Bryan, Bruce and others who almost the entire cast hates.

It seems like they're trying to make team choice more tactical, but I don't like the idea.

Me neither. I've a feeling that every Eddy player will pick Christie, every Law will pick either Paul or Steve and every Alisa will pick Lars.

Hopefully Rage isn't as potent, so it won't affect player choices as much. If it's just a little gimmick that'd be okay.
