Tekken 2 still beats a lot of beat-em-ups being produced today. Loads of characters, moves, and play modes, all make for a massive slugfest. Showing its age against Tekken 3, and Tekken 4 is due sometime in the future.
For true combat feeling go for Bushido Blade (why does Yoshi's sword not cleave off limbs?!).
Play as the bosses :
Exactly as in the original Tekken, you must firstly beat all of the other fighters
(including the bosses) before the sub-bosses are added.
Big Heads:
After enabling all characters, hold select while choosing your character until battle
begins. Et voila - instant hydroencephalitis. Finish a fight and hold select again (with
the same character), and you're a Pep-Boy.
Wire Frame Mode:
For First Person Perspective - after enabling all characters, select 1-player mode, hold
L1 while you choose your character, and you become a wire-frame. For Second Person
Perspective, enter practice mode, and hold L1 until the match begins, and your
opponent becomes a wire-frame.
Kazuya's Purple Suit:
Choose Kazuya and hold down Start before the Vs. screen appears. Check out the nifty
purple suit.
Super Juggle Mode:
Select a player and hold Select & Up until fight starts . You should hear a
punch sound.
Roger/Alex:
You have to be in 1 player mode. Then let the opponent of the third match beat up on you
until you have a little life left (5%). Crush the opponent and the announcer will say
"GREAT!" You do this two bouts in a row and the next fight should be against
Roger/Alex. Beat them and play through the game. Roger/Alex should be selectable.
Swear, dammit:
To make your character swear in Japanese press Right, Left, Square, and Circle at the end
of the fight!
