While tag out moves are pretty niche, they can be extremely useful sometimes. For instance, I love using tag outs with Xenomorph because I can apply Doom to a new opponent without waiting the full 30 sec after applying it to the first opponent. Tag outs also give you some reprieve against particular hard characters, and to a certain degree let you control the order in which you engage the opposing team.
That final point is what I'd like to touch on more. It seems to me, based on my use of the tag out move, that for the most part, the fighter in the 3rd position is too often immune to being forced in. I just had a fight against a Immoral Fiber, Bioexorcist, and Surgeon General, in that order. I wanted to take out the Surgeon General first, but my tag outs just alternated between forcing in Immoral Fiber and Bioexorcist, back and forth. Now, I don't know for sure the mechanics of how tag out moves are supposed to work, but it seems like, based on my experience, that it randomly swaps position 1 (the active fighter) with position 2 (the fighter next in line from the active fighter) or position 3 (the back fighter). However, alot of times, you can find yourself swapping the same to fighters back and forth, never bringing in that 3rd fighter simply because of bad luck. I'd like to suggest an alternative tag out mechanism:

I'd like to suggest an alternative tag out mechanism:
- Send the active fighter to Position 3 every time, instead of sometimes to Position 2. By always sending the active fighter to the back of the line, this would shift the position for each opponent on the enemy team: Fighter 2 -> Position 1, Fighter 3 -> Position 2, and Fighter 1 -> Position 3. In this way, you could always cycle through an entire team when using tag outs, and thus guaranteed to eventually be able to force out a particular character, so long as the enemy AI doesn't interrupt the order with its own tag in.
