Info and Gameplay

Tekken Tag Tournament (also called TTT) is the fourth game in the Tekken series and was listed as the 23rd best game on the PS2 by IGN in the year 2007. It was the first game to implement several features, the most obvious being the Tag System, which allowed a player to select two characters that form a tag team, who are then able to fight against other tag teams, be they player or AI controlled. The Tag system even applied to the Team Battle mode. It was however still possible to play 1-on-1 versus fights.

Tekken Tag Tournament also implemented a new variable known as endurance, which was never featured again. Additionally, it created the basis of the Tekken 6 Rage System through the presense of Netsu Power.

Story

Tekken Tag Tournament is not a part of the Tekken canonical storyline. This allowed Namco to bring back the characters that did not appear in Tekken 3 (such as Baek Doo San, Bruce Irvin, Jun Kazama, Kunimitsu, and Michelle Chang). The ages of the characters in this game are the same as the ages that they had in the last game that they were in.

Because Tekken Tag Tournament is a non-canonical game, it has no story. It is more of a compilation of Tekken 1, Tekken 2, and Tekken 3, allowing players to use almost every character in the Tekken series. The only characters that did not return from previous games are the first King, Marshall Law, the first Jack robot, the first Kuma, Gon, and Doctor Boskonovitch (although Dr. Boskonovitch does make a cameo appearance).

Tekken Tag Tournament also introduced two new characters, Tetsujin and Unknown. Tetsujin is a "pallette swap" for Mokujin. Unknown is the final boss of Tekken Tag Tournament. Both of these new characters are "mimic" characters, and both of these new characters do not return in any Tekken games released after Tekken Tag Tournament.

Playable Characters

The game features 39 characters, which was the largest character roster for a Tekken game before Tekken 6.

Trivia

• Although Marshall Law did not appear in the game, one of Forest Law's costumes resembles his dad's 1p outfit from Tekken 2.
• Kunimitsu gained a new costume in this game. It consisted of a purple bodysuit and a golden mask that revealed her mouth.
• Panda appears in the background of the school stage.
• Regardless of the number of rounds you set the game to, the final fight with Unknown will always be one round.
• The final move that Lei performed in his ending became a useable move from Tekken 4 onwards. This move is listed as the Comet Kick.
• This is the first game in the tekken series where the character falls into the againy position once K.O'd.
• Many characters had special before battle and losing poses if they were paired up with a certain other character. For example, Law and Lei would lay down on the floor in a comical fashion if they lost and Nina would kick Bryan in the crotch with them both getting into their fighting stances immediately afterwards if they were to lose the match. In before battle poses some characters will do things with/to their partner (sometimes) depending on the leader. For example, when Paul and Kuma are paired, whomever the leader is will do their special attack to the other (Kuma will do his Salmon Fishing move on Paul or Paul will do Phoenix Smasher to Kuma's gut when Kuma is growling). Heihachi wil turn Lee over his knee and spank him if paired together.
• If you have Kazuya Mishima and Devil on the same team, then they will morph into one another instead of tagging out of the fight.
• Unknown is the only character in the game to have an FMV ending.
• The Tag feature never made it to another Tekken game as of Tekken 6, except for Tekken Advance, featuring 3 character tag teams.
• This was the first Tekken game released for the Playstation 2 and the first ever game released for the console.
• Tekken Tag Tournament is the only game to have a female character as the boss, (although in Tekken 2 Angel will be boss if you play arcade mode with Devil.)
• In the PAL version of the game, the booklet has an error. On Jin Kazama's page it has a picture of Kazuya Mishima instead of Jin.
• Tekken Tag is the first Tekken game since the first Tekken to have the same stage music in every character's ending. This is not the case with Unkown's ending, however, as she has different music in her's.
• In Tekken Bowling mode it is possible to K.O Dr. Boskonovitch and the other people watching from the sidelines. To do this you must move your character all the way to the left and then try to press the X button when the moving cursor is to the left (this works much better with right handed characters). If done correctly you'll hear the announcer say "K.O!"
• Tiger Jackson appears alongside Eddy Gordo in the latter's ending further alluding to the fact that Tiger could not be an alter ego of Eddy. However, as Tekken Tag is non-canon, this could just be a surreal ending.
• Ling Xiaoyu is the only character in the game to have two endings. It is viewable by beating Arcade Mode in her Schoolgirl outfit.
• Additionally, Xiaoyu has the most outfits with an aditional secret green/orange costume, only obtainable by selecting her with a random select.
• Screaming no longer echoes if KO'd.
• There are no replays after every round, but after Arcade Mode, they show replays from the last round, and the word "replay" now flashes on the top left of the screen instead of the top right, but in Tekken Bowl Tournament, the word flashes on the bottom left, but omitted when a super strike occurs.
• The health meters no longer load up before the fight begins.
