For instance, an example of the system shown has the player slamming their opponent into wall, which breaks and the opponent goes flying, landing in a new area where the fight continues. The game features a 'stage gimmick' system. ДЇeatures suggested by Katsuhiro Harada include recording in Practice mode as well as a Tutorial, to make the game more accessible for new players. Character customization is also featured, similar to past Tekken games. The game inherits gameplay features from Tekken 6, such as 'Bound' hits (hits that slam an airborne opponent to the ground and stun them so combos can be extended) and walled arenas, some of which featuring walls and floors that can be broken through during the fight. 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.

The new game engine of Tekken Tag Tournament 2 allows up to four characters to appear on the screen at the same timeДЄs in the original Tekken Tag Tournament, matches involve each player selecting two fighters to fight with.
