jp Tekken Tag Tournament Turbo

Tekken Tag Tournament TurboTekken Tag Tournament Turbo is a special version of Tekken Tag Tournament made in 1999. Some players had the chance to play this game during the few times it was seen in operation. TTT Turbo is twice as fast as the original game and the gravity is altered to allow characters to do superhuman jumps and float during projections easing longer combos. All characters have different animations and some are even invisible. Why talk about it again ten years later? Because Tekken series producer Katsuhiro Harada said today that Tekken Tag Tournament Turbo was indeed a limited official edition (made for a special event) and not another pirate version à la Street Fighter II Rainbow Edition. He also published three videos of the game on TwitVid: video 1, video 2, video 3.
