Thanks to mukumuku, zechs and geesendou for the latest update!

TEKKEN 6 GENERAL INFO

• Live Monitor panel now has touch screen functionality. You can view either the live match or view other matches recorded throughout Japan.
• In T5DR, to be broadcasted on TEKKEN-NET live monitors you had to be Fujin ranked or above. For Tekken 6 it allows lower ranked matches to be broadcasted on the live network.
• Ranking starts at Beginner.
• Rankings will now be international.
• Tekken Teams/Clans can use an original common item.
• Teams/Clans will now be assigned a rank/level.
• You can achieve medals by completing certain tasks. Much like Virtua Fighter 5. For example, get a 15 win streak, receive a 15 win streak medal/reward.
• There are 12 total stages. Some stages are connected to each other. Not all stages will have a linked stage.
• There will still be infinite stages.
• For breakable stages, there are unique combos/juggles you can perform on those stages only.
• Namco does not intend to do minor patches/tweaks to the game(like VF5 does), instead they plan on launching the game and having it as balanced as possible in November.
• The new Tekken 6 arcade board has faster read/load times than Tekken 5: Dark Resurrection.

CHARACTER SPECIFIC INFORMATION

ZAFINA

• d/f+2 is a high crush.

HEIHACHI MISHIMA

• d/f+1,2 (twin pistons) has been removed. Instead the new move is d/f+1 into a new second hit. It no longer launches, its more like a hammer fist move that causes knockdown.
• New move similar to Kazuyas d/f+3, causes unbreakable stun on CH.
• Heihachi has a new low move.
• EWGF, f,f+2, d+1 and hellsweep seem to be the same.

KAZUYA MISHIMA

• Kazuya seems to be the strongest of the Mishimas now.
• Kazuya has a new string, 1,2,4,3. The last kick is mid.
• New move, d/f+3,1
• New move, b+1+2 which is similar to Heihachis b+2. Does not stun on CH.
• New mid, mid string. b+1,2.

JIN KAZAMA

• From the limited play time with Jin, there doesnt seem to be any noticeable changes with his game play.

More updates soon!

Im interested to see what makes Kaz so strong this time around

He doesn’t seem to have lost anything, unlike Hei’s 10f or whatever Twin Pistons(which he had the last standing ones, everyone else is WS now), and DJin losing everything that he didn’t need in the first place.

Kaz was always solid in 5/DR, but now that DJ and Hei no longer outshine him in most categories, he moves up. Just like the nerfs changing the tiers in 5.1->DR.

[Gimpy]

Damn did they have a Washington, D.C. stage?

[System_1]

what the hell was that thing traped in the crystal?

I was just gonna ask that too, maybe the new boss of the game

[ShinkuuR]

If they make rage mode so that there’s actual consequences to using it (assuming that you have to activate it when your life is low) then it’d be good. I’m hoping for something like taking block damage or not being able to block at all or something along those lines. There’s gotta be a downside to the damage bonus

I like this post.

I’m still skeptical about the Rage system, but it would be nice if players can select the health needed for it to activate(like MOTW’s TOP system). Having it balanced is the main key though.

I’m REALLY glad DJ got toned down. All that extra stuff he got in DR that he didn’t need was stupid.

[Celcius]

I wonder how “linked stages” will affect the game…

[Rojo]

Looks like that one esper from Final fantasy 12, with the sand storm and lightning attacks. Arab/egyptian like .

MarkMan: are there no match videos yet? you would think there would have been something out there by now.
How long will this testing go on?

[dbostick]

The graphics look exceptional, perhaps better than VF5. I have faith that the gameplay will not suffer from T4 syndrome and they’re really hinting at possible online play for PS3 with talks of clans and such.

[Son_Them_All]

The clan thing sounds like a really good idea, cuz alot of my boys play Tekken as well, and really teaming up with them against competition is quite the enticing proposition.

[Kix]

I hope we get something new for Jin.

[Shifty_Nevers]

Worrrd. Miguel+2 unspotted infinites >>> rest of cast

[Ryujin]

lol at previous statement. Isnt miguel a matador? Summons bulls?

So the arcade cabinet looks really really nice but how many arcades in America will have that later on?

I dont even see alot of virtua fighter 5 cabs around me in Florida.

[Superking]

You don’t see VF5 cabs period outside of Japan since Sega only has VF5 for LEASE within Japan only.
