Sowith out a doubt Arcade mode is the most frustrating bit of Tekken Tag Tourney 2 the end boss is garbage and I just find that mode the most frustrating of the lot. I've been still playing it though to unlock ending movies. Then...I had a break through... I totally found out you can unlock ending movies without having to play arcade mode! The "Gold" named ghosts in ghost battles give up a their ending movie if you beat them. Fantastic discovery! Now I never have to play that mode again!

There's another way to unlock them!? THANK GOD! I was able to beat her with my best 4 or 5 characters, but with every character after that it just felt like I was trying to slowly bash my head through a brick wall. Better Tekken players then I have commented that you just have to learn some really long tag assault combos and she becomes a piece of cake, but that's a lot of work for 40 characters.


@Bocam: Er...kinda? The first round she is regular Jun after you beat her once she turns into "Unknown" and has insanely cheap moves like summoning giant hands from the ground and whatnot. Its pretty goddamn absurd and by far the least fun of the game.


@Hunter5024 Yep, it just starts to feel like a grind which sucks. Much rather play through ghost mode and online. At least if I lose in ghost mode I don't have to keep fighting the SAME TEAM over and over until I get past them. If you see opponents in Ghost Battle that have a gold nameplate choose to fight them and if you beat them the person you KO in the final round I believe you get his/her ending movie as well as a character part unlock.


@Demoskinos: Sweet. Now if I can just figure out a way to unlock my characters customize parts really easily all of my frustrations with this game would be dissolved. Whoever decided to cripple the customize mode by forcing you to unlock all of the parts is an idiot.


@Hailinel: Yeah, the worst offender being this forcefield that can appear under you WITHOUT WARNING which then locks you in place and a giant hand tentacle monster thingy squishes you reducing you down to 1% health. Much like how the "gravity" spells work in Final Fantasy games the attack can never outright kill you but it knocks that character down to 1% and instantly forces the other member of the team in. I've only rarely been able to avoid it.


I think Unknown is a better boss than Jinpachi in Tekken 5, and Azazel in Tekken 6, and even Seth in Street Fighter 4... But yeah Ghost mode is where it's at. Unknown will become playable at some point, along with Dr Boskonovich!!


Although there is little warning it is easy to avoid if you sidestep it. The first time I beat Unknown I sidestepped it and she was left extremely vulnerable. Overall not as cheap as Jinpachi or Azazel it's mostly just hard AI. Just cheese your favourite juggle combos and don't stand there like a berk. Still it is pretty tacky that this massive difficulty spike that is basically a relic of the Arcade days to get people to put more coins in still exists on the consoles.


As far as end bosses go it's crazy. I even bumped the game down to easy and she still managed to juggle me for an entire round as Jun and then use her basically one hit instant kill on me in two back to back rounds as unknown.


She's cheap yes, but I thought Azazel was worse. Most fighting games throw skill out the window when you reach the last stage. You just have to find the most efficient (cheapest) way to beat her with each character. I'll be damned if i'm going to do it for all the characters though. The ghost thing sounds like a better alternative, good find.


How come I didn't have any problems beating Unknown? I used Lili and Jaycee team, I just launched her into the air, do a few juggles and a short tag combo. It actually worked for almost all of the AI opponents I fought. Maybe I was playing at medium difficulty?


For me, the worst part is that the difficulty scales to your top ranked character that starts the match. I was throwing in my main as a tag partner for fighters I was useless with, but it just ends up being crazy hard because I essentially have only one guy.
