Overview
Tekken Tag Tournament 2 is a 3D fighting game developed and released by Namco Bandai for arcades (using PS3-based Namco System 369 hardware) exclusively in Japan on September 14, 2011.
A tag-team focused spin-off of the Tekken series, Tekken Tag Tournament 2 is the successor to the 1999 game Tekken Tag Tournament, pitting most characters from the series' history (at that point in the series) in non-canonical 2-on-2 team battles. Like the previous entry, it builds on the game engine and roster of the latest entry in the series (in this case, Tekken 6: Bloodline Rebellion) and features special tag-team mechanics.
The game received an update on March 27, 2012, titled Tekken Tag Tournament 2 Unlimited. Along with customization updates and character balances, this version includes a new ratio system (allowing players to fight with a solo character, changing the Rage system to that in Tekken 6: Bloodline Rebellion) and a "pair play" mode (where players team up, each controlling a single character).
The Unlimited version was later ported to the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 worldwide on September 11, 2012 under its original Tekken Tag Tournament 2 name. Along with online multiplayer, this version features additional returning characters, stereoscopic 3D support, customizable soundtracks (with music from previous games as DLC), a special "Fight Lab" mode (where players learn the mechanics of the game while unlocking new abilities for a customizable training robot), and a special pre-order stage featuring the likeness and music of rapper Snoop Dogg. The online multiplayer used a special online service (called the "World Tekken Federation", later discontinued) for stat-tracking and originally required a $9.99 Online Pass DLC.
This console version was later ported to the Wii U on November 18, 2012 (as a launch title) as Tekken Tag Tournament 2: Wii U Edition, featuring a bonus mini-game (Tekken Ball), touch-based controls (using the Wii U Gamepad), and bonus costumes based on popular Nintendo franchises.
A special demo of the game (known as Tekken Tag Tournament 2 Prologue) was included in the Tekken Hybrid compilation for the PlayStation 3 on November 22, 2011. Bundled with Tekken Tag Tournament HD and the 3D CGI film Tekken: Blood Vengeance 3D, this version only includes four characters (Kazuya Mishima and Jin Kazama in their "Devil" forms, and film protagonists Ling Xiaoyu and Alisa Bosconovitch) and an offline-only arcade mode.
Gameplay
Tekken Tag Tournament 2 is a combination of Tekken 6's mechanics and the previous Tekken TAG's 2-on-2 system. This section will exclusively cover the game's tag mechanics.
In TTT2, matches still consist of best-of-3 or best-of-5 sets. (Local matches default to best-of-3, while ranked online matches are best-of-5.) A round ends when one character is knocked out, regardless of the health of their partner.
Tagging is accomplished with a fifth "tag" button. Inactive partners slowly recover any "red" health that they may have received from taking damage while active. Unlike most tag-based fighting games, red health is not lost whenever a character is tagged in normally.
Rage is a comeback mechanic state that is enabled for the inactive character once the point character has received a certain amount of damage. When enough damage is taken, the partner's life-bar will flash, and tagging them in will allow them to deal more damage for a short while. The damage required to activate Rage is partially dependent on in-story character relationships: for example, Heihachi will receive Rage faster than normal if Kuma is the active character, but will receive it much later than normal if his partner is Jin or Kazuya. Solo characters receive Rage at 50% health, at near-death, and whenever hit with a Tag Assault.
By pressing the Tag button while performing a launcher, the player will perform a Tag Combo. The player's inactive character runs in, and the resulting combo will eliminate part of the opponent's red health. Pressing Right Punch and Tag together performs a Tag Throw, which switches characters while eating the opponent's red health. Some pairings have special Tag Throws; their method of activation varies per team.
By pressing Tag during a Bound move (or both Punch buttons and Tag to create a generic bound), the player will perform a Tag Assault. The partner will jump in, losing all of their red health in the process, and the player can perform one attack string before control is passed back to the original point character. However, Tag Assault doesn't eliminate red health, and will always give the opponent's partner Rage.
The Tag Crash system gives players a way to tag in safely while under pressure. It requires the active character to be grounded and the inactive character to have Rage available. By pressing both Punch buttons and Tag simultaneously, the partner character will dive in from the air. Performing Tag Crash surrenders both Rage and the exiting partner's red health.
Ranking System
How the Ranking System Works:
- All Players start at "Dan 1" Rank
- To get promoted you need 6 points to get demoted you need -6
- If you fight someone at your rank, you can win or lose 2 points to your current rank.
- If you fight someone +1 or -1 of your rank then you get or lose 1 point.
- If you fight someone 2 ranks above or below you, you only get or lose .5 points.
- If you fight anyone more than 2 ranks above or below, you only gain or lose .25 points.

Mink fur has long been synonymous with luxury and opulence in the fashion industry https://www.shwechat.com/ . From its soft texture to its undeniable warmth, mink fur has been adored by fashionistas and celebrities for decades. However, behind the glamour lies a contentious debate surrounding the ethics and sustainability of fur production. In this article, we will delve into the fascinating world of mink fur, exploring its history, production process, cultural significance, and the ethical considerations surrounding its use in fashion. The use of fur in clothing dates back thousands of years, with early humans relying on animal pelts for warmth and protection against the elements. Mink fur, specifically, gained popularity in the 19th century when European furriers began breeding minks in captivity for their fur. The mink's luxurious coat, which is soft, lightweight, and has a natural sheen, quickly captured the attention of high-end fashion houses and aristocrats. During the early to mid-20th century, mink fur became a symbol of status and wealth https://www.shwechat.com/Byfursgame, with Hollywood starlets often draped in lavish mink coats on the silver screen. The demand for mink fur skyrocketed, leading to the establishment of mink farms across Europe, North America, and Asia.
O šiaip, kas galėjo ten taip pasikeisti? Nejau taupo ir perka pigesnes medžiagas? Nes negalėtų būti tiesiog gamybos brokas, kad pasitaikė būtent tokį pačiupinėt
Tai reiškęs suprastėjo. Nieko gero tuomet🙁 Tiesa, dar rašei apie Pulse Elite. Ne nežinau vakar lygtais irgi specialai tas juodas plastmases pačiupinėjau, na nežinau nieko stebuklingo, bet ir nieko tragiško, tikrai neatrodo kaip koks feikinis daiktas. Plastmasių kokybė panaši kokybė kaip Pulse 3D, kurioms jau virš 2 metų.
