The trailer for Tekken Unlimited has been released! Hopefully there will be an english version released as well, but for now here’s the Japanese version. Green life bars, 2v2, 1v2, 1v1, pair play, and I assume balance changes. LOL @ 1 man team barrier break. Not sure what to think of it yet because a Tekken Tag Tournament in 1v1.. sounds like a not Tekken Tag Tournament. Added a bunch of pics after the jump
Update: Trailer Revealed! AOU2012 is nearly upon us and while the show floor isn’t open yet there are some pics floating around. No details yet, but make what you will of this:
Of course, the obvious, it either says 1v1 or 7v7 and the image of Jin’s face / young Heihachi is what was used in the Tekken Tag 2 promotional materials.
Andriasang is reporting that next week at AOU 2012 Namco will be unveiling a “New” Tekken Tag Tournament 2. Apparently, the new version of Tekken Tag Tournament 2 is “greatly evolved with new elements.” For those of you who don’t know, AOU is an arcade show which means that the new version should be an arcade release. Hopefully this new version is what they’re planning to release on console this Holiday 2012. What would you like to see changed? Changes to the juggle system? Removing Hwoarang unblockable? Banning Knee for being too awesome? Removing Lars and Lili? Sounds good to me! More info after the jump

The USA location test for Tekken Tag Tournament 2 is now over. Kane went ahead and released some of the combos he recorded from the arcade. That Paul/Jack combo is gross. Not sure if Namco will be selling the game later, but I’m glad we got the opportunity to have it and play it for awhile. Otherwise we’ll be waiting on its console release like everyone else.
The time has come for the return of Avoiding The Puddle‘s EWGF Stream. On the last possible Friday that we’re supposed to have the game, Super Arcade has finally gotten the permission they were looking for to stream Tekken Tag Tournament 2. Check out all the archives after the jump:

More Tekken Tag 2 matches have been coming out of Korea recently featuring top players such as Nin, Ji3moonAce, Hao, Narak Hof, Holeman, No Name and more. I cant believe Narak Hof is still using Bryan/Hwoarang! Go back to Marduk! Many more vids after the jump

Yesterday on Wakeup SRK, MrWizard announced the games list for Evolution 2012. The games are Super Street Fighter 4 Arcade Edition 2012, Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3, King of Fighters XIII, Mortal Kombat 9, Soul Calibur 5, and Street Fighter x Tekken. This of course means that Tekken 6 has been dropped.
It sucks, but its not very surprising considering Tekken’s relatively low turnout last year, the age of the game, and the spectator response everytime Tekken comes on a stream. Seems like the general Tekken franchise might need to be revamped. Around the 28 minute mark MrWizard explains why Tekken 6 was not chosen – and I disagree with most of his points, but at least he’s looking forward to Tekken Tag 2 being at Evo in 2013. The MOST interesting note from that podcast though was MrWizard mentioning that Street Fighter x Tekken may NOT be a 1v1 event! For this year though Tekken will still be represented by Street Fighter x Tekken and Namco will still have its 3D fighter presence with Soul Calibur 5.
Speaking of which, WinterBrawl will host a Soul Calibur 5 tournament that will be a qualifier tournament for ATL Final Round this year. Top 16 players at WinterBrawl will be seeded at ATL Final Round and have their event badge and tournament entry fees paid for. The first place finisher will receive roundtrip airfare to Final Round as well. Arcade cabinets of the latest version of Tekken Tag Tournament 2 will also be available at both events for everyone to play on.
For these upcoming Soul Calibur 5 tournaments Namco has provided a $1000 prize bonus for Winter Brawl and a $5000 prize bonus for Final Round! Time to start practicing!
