Tag Team Battles??

[Filthy Peasant]

Hey guys. Thinking about getting the game, just one quick question: Is there a tag team mode i can play with my friend against either other players or the pc?

[Sonicfanx1]

No. Tag team battles are only in Tekken Tag Tournament 1 and 2.

[Filthy Peasant]

Oh well I don't quite get the logic behind that, but thanks for the answer :)

[Sonicfanx1]

Because Tekken is the normal game with just 1v1s.

Tekken Tag Tournament, like in the name, has tag matches. It makes perfect sense.

If they had tag battles in the regular tekken, what purpose would Tekken Tag Tournament serve?

[Filthy Peasant]

It would serve nothing, and that is okay. Why do you need Tekken & Tekken TT, why not just combine both in one game. More modes = more happy players.
Maybe it's not acceptable with its "lore", but really who cares about that in a fighting game.

[Sonicfanx1]

No it isn't okay. It'll divide the focus of the game. Tekken Tag Tournament functions differently on a fundimental level. The addition of a new character messes up the vanilla formula and balancing needs to be made. Tekken 7 operates on the design that it's just a 1 on 1 slug fest. Every character has his own tools to win said slug fest.

In a Tekken Tag game, you NEED another character to do substantial damage and cut off the opponent's health regen. The strategy and meta is different.

And no, having more modes in this case won't make players happier. It might actually piss some people off because we already had a Tekken Tag Tournament. It was the last installment 5 years ago.

And not to mention the ESports for this game will be a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ nightmare.

As for lore, a lot of people care about lore. I care about lore. The Tekken lore is quite interesting.

[Filthy Peasant]

Well I understand your point to an extend.
And yes you're right, balancing needs to be made. And what exactly is the problem with that?

If both modes are balanced and are functioning like they should, I don't understand why not implementing both. They have the experience with both so I am sure the're capable of doing that.

If you have more to do in a game, that is for many players a positive thing. Sure they can ♥♥♥♥ it up but that is not the point.

Don't get me wrong, I like interesting lore sure. It's just not a focus of mine in games like this.

We can discuss further or just agree on TT is not in the game ;)

Why not just have Tekken Tag for OFFLINE MODE, and local multi-player ...
How about it be 1v1, but it's a different character per round, so if you win one, you continue, but if you do not, you continue with your 2nd or 3rd fighter.

I wanted a tag mode and I thought it was standard after Tekken 5.

There has been announced that there is a tag mode coming soon by TWT on twitter

Link? I see no such thing

1.That's because the game is designed around having only 2 character models on screen.

If they want to add a tag mode, they have to also make a low quality version of every character to allow 4 character models on screen without slowing the game down.

2.And just adding a tag mode isn't enough, they have to also spent a lot of time making new moves, balancing it etc.

[DJukor]

Maybe Tag tournament 3 will come out in a few years.

If they did add tag mode it would be a unbalanced novelty at best.

Actually don't listen those who have no clue but just guessing. I've read an interview when Tekken 7 was released and I will share it with you by linking it. Main reason seems technical because we all know balancing issues can be fixed by just adding and removing numbers.

Well, there are many reasons for that. The most obvious is the structure of the program – Tekken 7 is designed around one versus one, so where if you have tag you have at the most four characters on screen at once, so that’s a much larger load on the CPU and the graphics engine, so the game currently...
