Plot
Main article: Tekken Blood Vengeance plot

Both Tekken Tag Tournament and its sequel are non-canon entries of the series. Despite this, all of the characters have a real-time ending shown over the credits for the first character chosen when selecting the two fighters. Unknown's ending, however, is an FMV instead.

Characters

All 34 (plus 5 palette swaps) characters from the original game are present in the HD version. However, unlike the original, all of the characters are available from the start, a contrast to characters being locked in the arcades and PlayStation 2 versions of the game. Four characters from the sequel were available in Tekken Tag Tournament 2 Prologue.
