Texture Glitching and artifacting is still present. Game no longer slows down at balcony breaks & floor breaks. I think one stage might have some minor flickering but needs more testing.Īudio Distorts whenever under heavy battle (i.e performing a tag assault wall splat combo) Tag Assaults and Tag Switches now work seamlessly. Played with Vulkan and async compile enabled.Before diving right into this review, I want to take a moment to wish all of my readers a very merry Christmas. While many people both young and old are spending time today exploring new games, books, and other delightful forms of nerdery, I am reveling in the joys of retro bliss. In the recent weeks I’ve spent a lot of time working on the current side project for this site, which (in case you haven’t been keeping track) is a focus on retro arcade fighters. Today, I’m going to share my thoughts on Tekken 2.Īs was the case with the first Tekken game, Tekken 2 was originally released as a successful arcade cabinet. But it was the PS1 version of the game that most gamers are likely to remember. Just like the original game, the arcade release had a very limited number of playable characters. But the home version expanded the roster from a mere ten to a shocking twenty-five playable characters (a starting line up of ten with the additional fifteen being unlockable). Tekken 2 takes place two years after the events of the original game.

The storyline assumes that Kazuya was the winner of the King of the Iron Fist Tournament, having defeated his father Heihachi by tossing him over the edge of a cliff (just as Heihachi did to Kazuya before the events of the original Tekken). Heihachi survives the fall and goes into exile to plot his revenge. Eventually, he get his chance when news breaks out of a second tournament. Even knowing that this new contest is likely nothing more than a trap laid for him by Kazyua, Heihachi nevertheless enters in hopes to defeat his treacherous son and recapture his former glory.įrom the original game, the following characters return as part of the main playable roster: Yoshimitsu, King, Law, Nina, Michelle, and Paul. Heihachi is also added as a playable character in this game. This game also adds the following to new characters to the mix: The following characters have also returned, but need to be unlocked before being added to the roster: Prototype Jack, Anna, Armor King, Ganryu, Kuma, Lee, Kunimitsu, Wang, and both Kazuya and Devil (who serves as the final boss of the game). Jack 2 – This is an upgraded version of the original Jack android. He has been redesigned specifically for the second tournament. Lei – Lei is a police officer from Hong Kong who is assigned the task to bringing down Kazuya.
