Tekken 2 1995

Is it still worth playing?

With 25 playable fighters, this 1995 fighting game came out for arcades in August 1995 and for the PlayStation in 1996. The fighting system uses four buttons: left punch, right punch, left kick and right kick, on a 2D-background stage with an infinite playing field. It adds attack reversals for some characters, back throws, chain throws and a sidestep unique to Kazuya Mishima and Heihachi Mishima, while Yoshimitsu has a spinning sidestep that lowers his health. Beating arcade mode with a default character makes the matching sub-boss selectable. The home version brought Survival, Team Battle, Time Attack and Practice modes, plus full-motion video endings for every character. Four buttons for four limbs make a system that is easy to learn, which is still true today.
