Tekken 2 is a bootleg port of Tekken 2 for the SNES. It is the SNES counterpart to Tekken Special.

The controls and gameplay are based on Tekken 2's but it's notably much more stiffer and restricted in comparison. Despite the SNES's control layout being able to support Tekken 2's control scheme, each character only has one punch and one kick for each stance. X and Y are used for punches and A and B are used for kicks. Blocking is the same as it is in Tekken 2, only needing to stand or crouch in order to block. Jumping attacks are much harder to pull off and are similar to Virtua Fighter 2 VS Tekken 2, requiring you to hit the attack button at the same time you jump. Dashing can also be performed by double-tapping Forward or Back. Similar to Virtua Fighter 2 VS Tekken 2, combo strings don't seem to chain together properly and the opponent can block or attack in the middle of one. The gameplay is also more of that of a 2D fighter, with characters automatically turning around and the lack of any sidestep/sway moves. The stages themselves will also loop on forever. Compared to Tekken Special, it plays much closer to Tekken 2.
