Spoiler:

Eh? Jin has 2 devil forms? then which one is in this pic?

Spoiler for jin:

well in the movie jin kinda messes around with kazuya, acting like he cant control his devil form, the pic you have is when Jin decides to reveal he can control the devil gene, although i dont remember if that form was Jin acting more beastlike(runnning on all four limbs and such) and looking more beast like or if it was his just his controlled form acting like a beast

Spoiler:

I see... interesting.
I just read the plot summary, and he's the victor again, huh?

The devil gene control is kind of contradictory to the original story, though since Harada himself stated that Jin still couldn't control his devil gene, unlike Kazuya.

That's why Devil Jin has been treated as a different character from Jin because of Jin's inability to control the gene and he has different personality and movesets too. While in TAG2, they added Devil as a transform ability for Kazuya because he could control it since Tekken 4. It is mentioned in Harada's tweets, but I don't know if the tweet is still there.

Well, that's Tekken story for you

EDIT: Found it:

[Pink Cow]

Definitely looking forward to this game aside from
Tekken 3D. In the first Tekken tag, I only knew how to use one character, so I lost a lot (I didn't have a PS2 for practice). Lol

Didn't realize the arcade version was released in Japan back in 14th September
so I was searching for some gameplay videos... and apparently, the bosses are Jinpachi, True, Ogre, and finally Jun who serves as the final boss. Defeat her in the 1st round, she'll transform into Unknown!

Tekken TAG Tournament 2 will get an update, the name will be Tekken: Unlimited TAG Tournament 2.

The main feature is the multiple combat mode:
1 vs 1, 2 vs 2, 1 vs 2, and pair play (4 player battle) like the 1st Tekken TAG

Maybe more will be announced, but I don't know.

Here's the trailer.

saw this recently

there's a rumor going around that the update will be bigger than Dark Resurrection and Bloodline Rebellion

with no new characters nor new stages (so far)
I wouldn't know if this update will be bigger

but who knows, Harada's still laying low on the details

[Ryonea]

Yeah, it's said that the updates are major so they even changed the game's name. But so far, only various fighting modes got introduced.

Hopefully more will be announced later.

Allowing the option to use 1 character just seems like it's going to make it more of cluster... uh mess than before. I think that's a good indication that Tekken x Street Fighter is going to be 1v1.

There's an interview by 4gamer regarding that. Here it is:

Summary:

- Harada specifies two significant feedback regarding Vanilla TTT2. First, it's the "EXCELLENT, best arcade tag ever" type feedback and then there's the "Please get the console version out much more earlier" feedback since players are finding it difficult to remember movelists, tricks, traps etc of the second character.

- Notes how far we've come from the original TTT1 and that such a feature like solo, 1v2 or whatnot didn't pop up back then because there were plenty enough similar characters.

- With increasing technological prowess and proficiency, the game system itself has grown to a further extent enough to fit this sort of system.

- The complaints that people couldn't win fights because they had to use a second character which wasn't as good as their main was a significant inspiration of the new game play modes. If you aren't as good with a second character, just stick with your main and not be stuck with a second character you don't play as much. The development team will assure you that you won't be at a complete disadvantage when you pick solo up against a tag team. With just your one character, you are able to concentrate more.

- Identifies how the transition of character's play styles from the popular Tekken 3 to Tekken 4 is seen as a contributing factor to Tekken 4's unpopularity.

- Things are much more easier in solo play too, you don't have to take big steps in learning Tag assault, when to tag or not etc. Just pick solo play mode as you would normally play say Tekken 6 and when you're ready to get deeper into the game you can take a step into the tag mode.

- Notes that roughly 70% of "Home" (People waiting on console versions) Tekken players are in the beginner to intermediate levels.

- With solo play, those newer players don't have to take the time and effort to learn another character, just stick to what you were previously comfortable with. Harada cites a Paul player winning because of the ridiculous damage a Phoenix Smasher does against his opponent and now with the solo play feature he won't have to give up on that with the new modes.

- There was sometimes situations that moves or positions would often times make a player too good, a notable example Harada used was Tekken 6 vanilla's original rage settings and that eventually a business and household survey identified that this was not liked because players were finding that beginner and intermediate players were beating better players because of such a system and so they used that feedback in mind to tone it down for Bloodline Rebellion.

- Harada notes that Tekken 6 rage was pretty beastly but it still wasn't going to let the average player win tournaments because of it. (laughs)

- With the easier access to rage boosts in solo play, players (It mentions that If you are solo and your health is below 30% your attack power is doubled) will feel the exhilaration and thrill of unleashing a strong reversal to the opponent teams, what was a bad thing back in Tekken 6 is being revisited here in Unlimited and somewhat being redone.

- "Unlimited" title came from a translation of the 'freedom of action' deal here, the freedom to play how ever you want with who you want. Of course the title is still tentative.

- Solo play for a tag game returned for beginners that wanted to step into the game and allow people to recognize their better characters. "Oh he is soloing as Bryan that's probably his main."

- Solo play and Tag team choice is to create a environment in which there is a variety of entry ways. Beginner on your own? Pick solo, do a play through and discover, with a friend? Play a tag team with pair play mode and discuss strategies and learn together. Higher level players will of course be able to learn and adapt with a tag team on their own.

- The shop and all the items players accumulated in vanilla TTT2 will all transfer over to Unlimited. No charge or anything.

-There is half of the team working on expanding the arcade game's content and the other half working on porting everything to consoles. I believe earlier Murray left a hint on twitter that he was doing work on the console versions. EDIT: HERE.

- He reassures everyone that this system will be balanced and heavily monitored by the team.

So it's all for the sake of the newbies. Kinda understandable since there's a lot to learn for new players. But some seasoned players worry that the various fighting options will ruin tournament matches.

Looks like it's coming sooner than expected. Hopefully there won't be any delay

Good to hear that the console version will have more characters. Aside from the game modes, there are tweaks for the character balance too.

Folks playing the arcade version have something new to hunt: 2D artworks
we can see some of them in this thread.

[Frailty]

awesome news. I wish Unknown would be playable

doa5 might have to wait cause I'm getting this one first

[kenjiharima]

Kunimitsu was a popular character that was asked on twitter to Harada to be in the game. He said probably on consoles.

[Ryonea]

http://www.levelupyourgame.com/2012/...50-characters/

Wow.. 50? I wonder who they are. The fight lab is interesting hopefully new players will be able to understand more about Tekken's systems.

EDIT: came across this too. The game would look worse than T6 for sure

[Frailty]

wow, they're gonna add 3 more pairs?

maybe they'll get more charaters back

like Michelle Chang, Kunimitsu, Forest Law and Alex
the 1st slot would probably be Combot
so we'll have to guess the other 5
as kenjiharima said, Kunimitsu's way too popular on polls about characters the people want to return so she's probably a given
not sure about Michelle Chang, Forest Law and Alex though
Forest was really just a younger Marshall and Alex had Roger's moves from the first TTT

I want Unknown to be playable though

can't wait to hear the characters.
I hope these characters make it to the arcades though

[kenjiharima]

Forest Law when first appeared his moveset were alot better than T1 and T2 Marshall Law. I Thought they will push for a younger breed, but storywise Marshall Law trained to better himself even at past his prime. Though I dunno what they plan for Forest I hope the moveset won;t be too similar to father Law.

Michelle Chang will probably be older here, but still has that look of a "young woman" in design if they're gonna keep her charms up.

Alex if retuning should have a new bite move.

Kunimitsu is pretty much a given.

Combot and Unknown teaming up? Well in TTT1 Unknown was selectable and in the HD version she's already unlocked. She'll be playable. Iam gonna respect Namco if they don't make DLC characters here since the beginning they haven't made any DLC on Tekken hope they don't start now.

Also it's only 10% done?! O_o

Since this is Tekken TAG, the girls will be presented in their young form (or at least look young). Yep, hopefully Kunimitsu, Alex, Forest Law, and Michelle movesets (if they'll be included) will differ from their "relatives". This would be interesting to see. I do hope Angel will make it too, but it seems unlikely. Combot will present, as it will be the training dummy for the fight lab.

I don't want Tetsujin and Dr. B

Harada himself doesn't like the idea of DLC, but I don't know about Namco.

God, I do hope so. I don't want another pair with the same command list
Kuma/Panda and Eddy/Christie are already enough for me

I want it to be like Hwoarang-Baek or Bruce-Bryan or Jun-Asuka or the Mishimas. Same Martial Art, Different set of moves.
