Tag combos (referred to as 'Tag Assaults') can be done simultaneously with both characters participating in the combo at the same time. New techniques include combined tag throws which, if timed properly, can be escaped from.

The gameplay expands on the tag mechanics featured in the first Tekken Tag, allowing for extended tag combos and combined moves. If time runs out, the player who has the most cumulative life remaining amongst their fighters wins the round. If the life bar of either of a player's fighters runs out, that player loses the round. At certain points, an inactive character's life bar may flash, giving them a temporary boost in strength if they are tagged in. Players are able to switch their fighters out at any time, allowing the inactivating character to gradually recover some life they might have lost. Like the original Tekken Tag Tournament, matches involve each player selecting two fighters to fight with. The new game engine of Tekken Tag Tournament 2 allows up to four characters to appear on the screen at the same time Tekken Tag Tournament 2 has been positively received by critics, earning averaged review scores in the range of 82-83% at both GameRankings and Metacritic for the PlayStation 3, Wii U and Xbox 360 versions, as well as several fighting-game-of-the-year awards.
