I'm finally back with the next installment in this series! Sorry for the delay, life's been pretty busy with me getting a new job and all that jazz, but dontcha worry, the next episode is already in the works so you won't have to wait long ;) For today I'm gonna be talking about a game that's pretty near and dear to my heart, Tekken Tag Tournament.

This was the fourth installment in the Tekken series and one of the first games in the series I played second only to Tekken 5, and y'know what, to this day it might be the most quirky Tekken ever made, from the hectic balance, to the overload of characters in the roster, to the goofy endings and the strange but really good soundtrack, everything about this game was unique.

So let's talk about it! It's a non-canon spin-off compilation type of game so there's no story to go over apart from the endings, which I guarantee you'll have a good laugh at, I hope you enjoy the video, please remember to subscribe and leave a like, I appreciate it, and I'll see ya soon :)
