Seeing things like these always makes me sad that Tag 2 underperformed in terms of sales... The game had so much going for it in terms of Contet offerings and you could tell the devs had fun making the game. I just hope now that since Tekken 7 has really overperformed, that they still feel like they can bring back that creativity for Tekken 8
That carving existing since Tekken 2 is insane, I cant imagine how much patience they had to make it a huge deal, even Smash Bros has it there because of their dedication and important it is after Tekken 7.
@@MrBoomxl Aiaigasa's are different but mean the same, they probably left out the top text to make it more impactful, especially when Heihachi had to kill her, just having both Heihachi and Kazumi under the umbrella is a much more fitting cutaway.
It's really not, They just finally decided to make Kazumi an actual character. She was just his dead wife, nothing more. That plotline was something they made during 7. It's why Kazuya never brings it up at all prior to T7 & Kazuy's "Devil" was still an external spirit he made a deal with, not a hereditary curse. Futher being proven by the same spirit marking Jin in the T3 Intro.
@@xKingx16 nope nope. It was a storyline they deviated from in T3-T4 time but came back to in T7. Wang's manuals mentioned Jinpachi and how he tasked Wang to kill Kazuya and Heihachi cuz they would do evil sh!t. Kazumi's name was on the stage floor. Heihachi protected Kazuya from devil in latter's ending, indicating how he hates the devil and not Kazuya. All the things that we see in T7 were hinted back then.

I was an article writer and editor in Tekkenpedia years ago and I wrote most of the Easter Eggs in Tekken Tag 2 that were missed by the other writers. Tekkenpedia got shut down for a while during 2018. When the website was brought back, I found out I got banned. I don't know if it had something to do with the frequent editing with the articles or the posting on the Discussion section. Some of my article edits were gone and my Discussion posts disappeared as well. By the way, you missed the prairie dogs caressing each other with hearts appearing above them in the upper tier of Condor Canyon. When you perform a heavy near them, the prairie dogs who weren't in love would jump feeling startled while the ones who are caressing will remain unfazed.
I remember that site as the perfect place to find all the news and leaks. Looks like everybody is banned and no new editions have been made since 2017. What could have happened?
@@DoblajeMLPLatino Maybe. But in my case, my posts vanished while many others are still there. It's like the operators of the website tried to erase everything that I've contributed.
My favourite TTT2 easter egg is in Heavenly Garden, if you wait long enough you will see one of the islands in the distance emerge revealing that it is in fact a giant turtle. It just adds to the surrealism of the stage

@@Niffiedude. Relax Edit: Ignore this. Got a notification that stopped at "stop glorifying emulators" it sounded aggressive before I opened up the full comment.
"Delicious Inasal" Inasal means BBQ. That food is very popular in a Philippines restaurant like Mang Inasal. They had BBQ Chicken and serves with banana leaf as a plate.
They probably want it Mang Inasal in the game but the company file a CnD or a copyright infringement to not include the restaurant. so they don't wanna advertise the brand's name in the game without any consent. So they change the name to "Delicious" but kept the name inasal to referencing the restaurant's name.
I really love TTT2. The stages are great and the music background as well. It's real a perfect version for me, so sad that it failed in terms of sales, deserves better.
So much love and effort went into Tekken Tag Tournament 2, and it did poorly in sales. "In spite of everything you've done for them, eventually they will hate you. Why bother?"
It wasn’t shown in the video, since only a certain crowd will get it, but here goes: In the Philippines stage, the billboards in the background show ‘TIMEZONE’ and ‘QUANTUM’, which are the leading arcade chains in the country. TIMEZONE is actually an Australian chain, but the Philippines has the most arcades. And it also previously hosted official Tekken tournaments sponsored by none other than Bandai Namco themselves. Only Filipinos, and Asia Pacific people in general, would’ve recognized that immediately.
2:28 Imagine being an Archeologist discovering some unknown symbol on the wall thinking, "This symbol must be thousands of years old, this must be the only thing left of its exsitence," while the very person literally 10 feet away from you, fighting another person, has it imprinted largely on his chest.
Someone had fun animating The Bremen Musicians. The donkey strutting in, the cat and dog adjusting their balance, and just look at the rooster sticking the landing. It's beautiful.
The love and attention to detail that went into this game..... Man you don't really get that anymore in games. Not even Tekken 7 has this much detail in it, which is really, really sad.
Hey, you forgot another easter egg in the Philippines stage in Tag 2. In the stage, you can find a billboard that says "Timezone", Timezone is a arcade place in Philippine malls.
This wasn't in a Tekken game, but I remember in Ridge Racer Revolution on PS1 there were billboards advertising other Namco games. One billboard advertised Tekken 2 with a picture of Heihachi's face.
Inasal means in the Philippines - "grilled Chicken BBQ" And vehicle says Mishima Institute are called "Jeepney" Idk. why Motorcycle Sidecar are left but the plate number are Thailand maybe Thai Concept Sidecar hehe
I've been playing Tekken on and off for over 20 years. The carving in the temple at the end tho?...who the hell notices that kinda stuff lol? Kudos to the devs 👍🏽
I remember saving up for TTT2 when I was a kid. I'd work with my grandpa until I finally had enough and pre-ordered it and got the DLCs and poster that I still have today. It's f*ckin crazy that it's already been *10 YEARS* !!
1:29 one letter away from greatness. We were so close. Also my favorite easter egg in tekken tag 2 is the quantum arcade sign in the background of the Bay area.
3:46 oh wow I didn't know that they referenced mang inasal here for those who don't know mang insal is a restaurant offers a a barbecued chicken with unli rice
Miss how older games would go nuts with their attention to detail which included these sort of little easter eggs sprinkled throughout their games. You can tell the devs had fun with it too. It's rare to find this in newer games where it seems like dev teams are stretched to their limit and it's seen as a waste of time.
TTT2 was so absolutely full of detail, it stands way above T7 on everything. Competitively T7 has brought much more exposure to the Tekken brand but TTT2 was the last Tekken to be truly made with love imo
The 3rd Law could be Forest but Forest is in the game. Maybe they kept it in the background. Pretend that this 3rd is obviously Marshall's brother/Forest's Uncle
3:53 As someone who from Thailand, that's not some Thai alphabets on car license plates though, that's actually what Thai license plates look like! It will be two (now three as number in fronts) alphabets follow with 4 digits numbers and province name at the bottom (in which both wrote "กรุงเทพมหานคร" which is "Bangkok"). Honestly I thought the plates going reference something deeper, but turns out Namco staff may just scanned some scrapped car plates or something because there's no hidden meaning as I can see (except the first plate which spell "จบ" which just mean: "End")
And people were surprised when Harada revealed how much it took to make one stage. All the props, character models, animations and scripted events aren't going to make themselves you know
This is a weird one but in the arena stage of Tekken 7 there's some word on a banner, forgot what it was. I googled it to see if it was a real life company and went to Google images but instead I was greeted to loads of closeups of characters feet such as Heihachi in Tekken 7 gameplay, I just don't know lol. Also, Forest Law is in the Tekken 6 stage with the pigs :)
Everyone probably knows about it, but Lee will only be in the background of the Island Paradise stage in Tekken 7 if he's not in the match. I don't know if there's a specific factor that will make him be Lee or Violet while back there or if it's just random.
Probably a callback to the Tekken 5 Poolside stage (its music is remixed for the upper part of the Island Paradise stage, after all). If you play as Lee on Poolside, Tiger will appear in his place in the background.
You forgot Timezone billboard, it’s one of the popular arcades in the Philippines. Also fun fact, Delicious Inasal is a parody of Mang Inasal, a fast food restaurant that serves roasted chicken and other Filipino delicacy.
For those asking, where are the Timezone and Quantum logos at (both in the Philippines stage), obviously they did not add it in this list because it’s very noticeable.
Part 2 is here, please check it out!
