New Trailer!
Yes, now the game has weapons. I guess this is a way to get people to buy those extra data cards. Since they won't save for any Joe that just walks into the arcade and plunks a buck down. How is this going to effect people that play at EVO and other tournaments? Will they go all out with weapons or will enforce people not to use them.

I think the weapons most likely won't impact the game much at all, like the T6 weapons.

A heap of gameplay vids. Looks like Julia's/Jaycee's f+3 is now a forward roll animation.

Sweet, Jun is back.
Oh man, the music playing on the xmas stage is soooo bad. It actually reminds me of some pop song from the 80's but I can't put my finger on the name of it. The intro to Celebration by Kool and the Gang. Good times... lol.....

That video got me kinda hyped but my hype can't help but the stifled by the thought that the juggles just might be too damn long. But lord God, that shit looks so fuckin tight.
When I saw that they brought back the school stage I almost lost it. I hope the music for the new school stage is just as weird and cool as the original was.
Speaking of stages it also seems like they have alternate version of previous stages as well. One stage looks like it takes place inside of that weird looking building from "midnight wilderness" from Tekken 5.
Kuma's little count out thing was hilarious too.

Yeah it seems that the juggles will be ridiculously long!
I also hope they have downed down the top tiers in this (Lars, Bruce, etc) and balanced the game a bit more, however I have a sneaky suspicion that Jun and/or Julia will be a bit overpowered. Usually the newcomers are in the Tekken and the Soul Calibur series
Julia is not a newcomer but she gets a lot of attention in those TTT2 trailers and she's changed her look a bit and we havent seen Jun since TTT1 so she is considered a "newcomer" in a way
I'm also waiting to see what improvements Heihachi had comparing him to Tekken 6. He is my main and it was a nightmare playing him against almost anybody

Yeah they are gonna have to tweak the tiers for this tag stuff to work and not be totally cheap cuz some of the top tier guys are just fucking ridiculous. Bruce's wall carries really piss me off.
Here are some gameplay vids.

There is some weird "tag bounce" that makes the character bounce high when you tag your guy in and everything slows down. I think it doesn't look too bad because the guy playing sucks but I know that I a Bruce or Bryan player could do something really nasty with that.
Edit: Here is more of that Tag bounce thingy. This time it has a team of Paul and Bryan(pure destruction). These guys didn't know what they were doing but give it a few days until the ugly combos start showing up.

If you listen to the music on these videos you can hear that they sound like music from older games. If you look at the last video on the 2nd link that I posted you can hear the arcade version music of the school stage.

The end of this video has some nasty ass unblockable trap with Nina. Namco get your shit right while you still got time. The damage in these juggles doesn't seem bad but the potential for cheese is definitely there. I have so many nasty little ideas.

She's back and she is pissed. I can't fucking wait to play this. I also can't wait to see how standard Jinpachi plays.. I remember hacking him onto a T5 arcade memcard and he was broken as fuck as a devil

40 images of the game.

I like the CG portraits better than Tekken 6's.

The graphics look much better than Tekken 6. Textures and animation have improved a lot. We'll just have to wait and see how the console ports compare to the Arcade version (inferior for sure!)
That "slow bounce" thingy + wall carry + walls + top tiers will be sick. Just wait for the top players to find out the best juggles and I am sure Tekken 6's juggles will seem "ordinary" after this sick juggling has commenced :P
The game will get better after some patching has been done but I'm almost certain the top tiers will be god tiers in this one.
Comparing this to T6 they should tone down
Lars
Bruce
Bryan
Law
Bob
and give a boost to
Hei and Kaz (not sure about Jin)
Yoshimitsu
Lei
I'm looking forward myself to check out "ordinary" Jinpachi. That DF+2 that pulled out a super fast uppercut in T5 DR was sick and broken as fuck (at least he was a boss there!)
Like I said in the beginning the graphics and facial animations rock! I didnt expect that much of a change.

It'll be interesting to see, how they change the old cast if at all. There's so many rumours going around, I don't know who to believe.
E.g.
- Kuma and Panda currently have a seperate location in the character selection screen. It is rumoured they have different movelists.
- It is possible to pick the same character twice. There's a video of someone picking Jaycee doubles. I hope this gets changed.
Jaycee/Julia has a new bridge stance similar to Voldo's for those familiar with Soul Calibur. During the stance she has an attack where she knocks you down with her 'Gina. Seriously.... I think she's unofficially become a joke character. Which is actually cool with me 'cause her hippy conservationist ways were getting annoying.
I changed my mind it'll be Jaycee/King and Zafina/Dragunov
Team Luchador and team WTF!!!

My teams are gonna be the exact same from before minus Kunimitsu. Mishimas, Baek/Hwoarang and not the addition of Feng/Dragunov. I used to play Kunimitsu/Yoshimitsu but that team is a dead dream.
I hope KYSG keeps showing Namco all the insane shit possible in this game. That unblockable setup link I posted was from the combo masters "KYSG". Namco needs to pay attention cuz they could have some major problems on their hands.

Just as I suspected ... the game runs on much stronger hardware than before. Here is some info from arcade heroes :
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
There there is Namco’s Tekken Tag Tournament 2. Twitter has been buzzing with some pictures taken of the game running on an arcade cabinet, as well as that poster seen above which finally gives us an idea of the player roster. Hit up Andriasang for the other pics. In addition to that, we find out from AM-Net that the game is actually running on some new hardware, currently dubbed “System 369″. We don’t know anything else about it at the moment although we can probably assume that it’s a more powerful variation of their System 357 hardware, which is based upon the Sony Playstation 3. Namco did something like that with their boards that were based upon both the PS1 and PS2 as well by adding more memory or higher clock speeds, etc. so it’s no surprise that they would do that with the PS3. Of course if the game takes a large advantage of the new abilities found in the enhanced hardware, one has to wonder what might be “dumbed down” in the probable console release down the road.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Which translates to only one thing : Inferior console ports (graphic wise) LOL

The new consoles are still pretty far off, right?

SpinmasterX, I believe the next generation is at least 2 years off so I would find it pretty unlikely for Namco to wait so long. After all they would lose a ton of money if they didn't port it asap.
Its pretty fucked up that we don't have arcades here in Greece anymore since that stupid law that banned them back in 2003 I believe
Soul Calibur 5 will probably be running on the new hardware as well (just a guess)
If only the could make each game come with a dongle or something that would increase the machine's capability of vram or something. Just like the old Saturn days with that 4MB cart. But those days are long gone

Xbox 360 came out Nov. 2005 and PS3 Nov 2006. I don't know. It's cutting it kinda close in my opinion. Then again didn't they say that they wanted this generation's consoles to last a longer than before. I'm thinking maybe Microsoft said that(lol360).
Tekken Tag 2 is probably gonna have an arcade run of 6 months to a year at the least I think. I'm probably wrong but I think TTT2 will be released on consoles summer of next year and then shortly after that I think companies might start unveiling new consoles. So we might be playing it just before the new fail consoles get unveiled.
I just know I want my Tekken Tag 2 before the end of next year and before any new consoles come out. I don't wanna have to pay a kajillion dollars for a new console thats gonna break on me just so I can try out a 60 dollar game that might piss me off as well.
But just think though, Tekken games are usually flagship Sony console launch titles or they come close to the launch dates like Tekken 5 DR which came one month after the PS3 was released.
I hated the arcade situation in Europe. I lived in Germany for 4 years when i was a kid/teen and all i remember was playing Capcom, SNK games and Virtua Fighter on arcade machines. I moved back in 2003 and Europe didn't have shit for consoles. I really feel bad for you because you Europeans are gonna be starving for this game and won't get to see it for a while.
