Please, say me that TN didn't cut from DoA5U Ein & Hayabusa Tag Intro and Outro...
Despite Ryu having only one full tag partner in 5 vanilla and one half-partner, he gets 3 new full partners in Ultimate (Ein, Momiji and Rachel). No idea why he has shit with Rachel and not Ayane, but w/e.

Also kinda confused why Momiji and Rachel have stuff when they have never met.

They are associated in quality of both Ninja Gaiden allies of Ryu. There are various tag pairs associated by reasons that don't involve their direct knowledge, like Hayate/Ein, Bass/Lisa or Helena/Lei Fang

Well, cause both come from NG, some characteres never met for real and they have full interectatios and various tag throw like the ones Kronin have mentioned.
I also think the tag throw they have(The one when both break the opponent legs) Would fit better for a supposed Leon+Rachel tag team. Or maybe even for a new tag throw for Leon+Bayman, since the animation is the same as them counter high kick.

I think Helena and Rig could have a tag throw where they both use three kicks at the same time.
Helena (3KKK) would kick the opponent thrice on the belly, and Rig thrice on the head.

I mean, they are both heirs of ambitious, unethical, rich and powerful fathers.

Well, no. Helena's father wasn't really unethical. He was opposed to human experimentation and project epsilon, which is why he wound up being assassinated.

I like that tag throw transition but I imagine Helena and Rig doing her H+K together at the opponent after she does 3KKK.

A tag pair that I always wanted to see...

:tina: + :helena: = "Mismatched Melody"

Intro:
Tina - "Listen. You better not disappoint me." - to Helena
Helena - "This shall be our finest performance" - to Tina
Both: -walks forward-

Tag Transitions:
Helena to Tina - Helena does a 1H/3H on the opponent then Tina connects it by grabbing the opponent's head with BT 8T
Tina to Helena - Tina tackles the opponent to the ground as Helena goes into her BKO stance via H+P+K taunt. Tina swings the opponent with 41236T towards Helena and Helena releases a fully charged BKO 4P+K as the opponent approaches.

Win pose:
Tina: "Yeah! I'mma rock you!"
Helena: "-sighs and shakes her head- Can we be more elegant than this? -crosses arms-" - to Tina

This is a really great idea! My sincere compliments ;)

Thanks, Kronin. I just find it really odd how Tina never got shown together with her, even on a random scene despite being with Helena for 4 tournaments already (since Helena debuted at DOA2). The same thing can be said with Helena to Hitomi.

I think they should edit the tag outro for Hayate and Kasumi, cause they are brother and sister and also uses the same style, I can imagine both of them lift their hands and say "This is Mugen-Tenshin style" It would fit much better than watch how Kasumi leaves Hayate making him look like a forever alone x)

Well actually should be Kasumi to take the role of "forever alone" in that animation.

The weird thing is they used the same animations for Ein and Kasumi. Only difference is Ein doesn't call out her name when she disappears.

Which actually makes me think if they can re use Hayate's animation for Ein in certain animations then why doesn't Hayate and Hayabusa have Ein and Hayabusa's opening?

Maybe they are saving a new opening for Hayate and Hayabusa for the future games, who knows.
On another side, with who do you guys think Marie Rose will have tag interaction?

Mare Rose she will have contact with some character like Rig and Mila did but who you have right.

Gen fu and Brad had in DOA4 a full Tag Animation why they cut it in vanilia and 5U ? I dont understand it. Same goes for Gen Fu and Helena and Ein with Jahn Lee.

What me really piss me of is these half animations. Why half ? Full or not that is ! When I see half Animation I always think they didnt gave so much effort to it.
