It absolutely takes advantage of the Wii U’s higher horsepower, and I wouldn’t be surprised to find out that it looks better than its previously-released counterparts. If not for the fact that I was holding the GamePad, I would have sworn I was playing on the PlayStation 3 or Xbox 360. Tekken Tag Tournament 2, for that reason, blew my mind when it first started up. I have to admit that, before playing this, I hadn’t really noted a vast improvement in the Wii U’s graphical prowess. This allows you to team up with another player locally and face one another on a singular team with each player playing as one character. While there’s not any lag to speak of, and there does seem to be plenty of action somewhere, it took forever to be matched with anyone every time we went to play online in ranked or friendly matches.Īnother nice thing about this game is the Pair Play mode, available both online and off. There’s also Survival, Time Attack and Online modes, the latter of which plays incredibly well. – Shawn VermetteĪs far as the other modes go, you have your typical Arcade mode, which helps unlock specific character endings, and Ghost Mode, which allows you to rank your character and earn customization items. For the men, there’s a number of both heroes and villains, ranging from Captain Falcon, Sheik and Star Fox to Bowser and Ganon. Among the women’s choices are Zelda and Peach’s dresses and Samus’ Zero Suit. No longer is he the random character of the game (since Mokujin is in the game anyway), but with the development points you earn from Fight Lab, you can customize the move set for Combot to your own personal tastes combining moves from different characters in the series.Īs you would expect when a game has heavy customization and is paired with Nintendo, there are plenty of iconic Nintendo costumes to be had for characters. You still need to know what you’re doing, or all this will do is postpone your inevitable defeat.Ī nice addition to the game’s depth is the customization of Combot itself. Of course, this isn’t a shortcut to success. Just tap on the move and it will be used. Added for the Wii U’s release is the ability to map four of a character’s moves onto the Game Pad’s screen for quick usage.
Even as someone who knows a decent amount about the series, this mode helped an incredible amount on how the game works. Going into the game, I brought over a lot of what I knew from the last Tag series, as well as the previous Tekken games.
COMBOT TEKKEN 4 HOW TO
The game covers everything from how to move with your character, attacking, the game’s air combo system, advanced tactics and the Tag mechanics exclusive to this game. After Violet accidentally deletes all the programming for a perfect Combot to use in battle, you, as the next Combot, have to relearn everything the last one knew. It’s an incredibly detailed tutorial mode featuring Combot ( Tekken 4’s Mokujin/Random Character) and Violet (Lee Chaolin’s alter ego). One of the more outstanding features of this game would be the Fight Lab. There’s not really any strategy involved in it since only the ball can do damage and I spent just enough time in it to decide I’d rather be playing the rest of the game instead.
It’s like dodgeball meets volleyball, and you win by smacking your opponent in the face with the ball enough times. Tekken Ball, however, is a forgettable mode that there’s no reason for anyone to play. It’s not enough to change the outcome of a vastly unbalanced matchup, but between two competitive players, these can swing the balance very quickly. You can attack them too, to send them toward your opponent if you want. Normal mushrooms will make a character larger, thus stronger, and poison ones will shrink you, thus making you weaker. Mushroom battle is business as usual, except that you now have to contend with free-flying Mario mushrooms and stars. There are two new fight modes on the Wii U: Mushroom Battle and Tekken Ball.
