The story is undeniably the least important part of any fighting game, but if you’re going to shoehorn one in, you could at least attempt to make it palatable for newcomers. It’s like going on holiday with that terrible Tekken: Blood Vengeance CGI movie, but with hand-drawn animations and talking heads. There’s a story element as a background to the training, but it’s determinedly awful. Seeing as the AI and any online players will kick the hell out of you relentlessly while you’re on your back this is an alarming omission. The only help I could find for these were on scrolling text segments on the loading screens. But essential tactics like getting up quickly, rolling away and rising attacks are ignored. Sure, there are sections dedicated to blocking. It’s strange to see this mode give you very little defensive help. Combine these moves with tagging partners in and it requires a chain of fiddly button presses. The bound move from Tekken 6 is also extensively detailed allowing players to bounce juggled opponents off the floor for further punishment. Aerial combos, or juggling, are explained along with instructions on which moves initiate them. In the Fight Lab, you control the Combot -a vanilla-flavoured robot- to learn the basics over multiple stages and tests. Button bashing in Tekken games will generally get you nowhere, thus making it less enjoyable to crack out at parties for anyone that hasn’t played them before. Basics that to outsiders make the game immensely difficult to pick up and play with the same level of success as the Street Fighter or Soul Calibur titles. The Fight Lab is Namco’s attempt to ease-in new players and get them used to Tekken’s basics. Getting new players used to the basics of the series has always been an obstacle many fighting games so anything that seeks to address this is going to be well worth a look. That’s what Namco would have you believe are the targets that Tekken Tag Tournament 2 is aiming for as one of the most respected names in the fighter genre returns. Experience the most advanced attack mechanics, ultimate combo move sets and new battle modes.Accessibility and new fans. Tekken tag tournament 2 delivers new and returning characters in the largest roster ever. The original tag team fighter that started it all is back. Never underestimate the heart of a champion.
