Blocking is performed by backing away from the opponent, either standing up or crouching, which allows you to block low-targeted attacks.Ĭombos consist of both button sequences/combinations and joystick movements (quarter-circle etc.). The controls remain the same as in the previous installment of the series: an 8-way joystick (arrow keys, d-pad) and buttons 1-4, corresponding to left-punch, right-punch, left-kick and right-kick. Should you browse the selection further though, the detail of the fighter in the center of the screen will still change and show you the currently selected character. Keep in mind, though, that for some reason the list of avatars on the character selection screen doesn’t really rotate in emulation mode, and so it might initially look as if there were only eight characters available. There are twenty-four playable characters in the game, sixteen of which were brought from the previous game and eight completely new ones. You see, I’m not saying it couldn’t be better, there’s always some room for improvement, but honestly, how often do you get to fight with a Terminator style military android? Yep, that’s exactly what I thought. If there is nothing that would catch your attention and gain your sympathy-that is something that would help you to get over initial frustration of losing-there isn’t much chances you’ll be playing the game for too long.įortunately, this is not the case with Tekken 2. And I know I risk being sexist here, but it’s the truth, ya know? A fighting game without likeable characters is ultimately predestined to fail.


Give me a sweet looking native American female fighter dressed in tight jeans and a fringed leather jacket-yes, Michelle Chang, I’m looking at you-and you pretty much got me hooked. This game Tekken 2 - MAME working perfectly with emulator version mame64ui, you can download on this web site.
