agree with bob , kaz, and devil for super tier.

kuma.. though low tier, but he’s very fun to use!
June 5, 2008 at 4:43 am |

June 5, 2008 at 1:42 pm |

June 5, 2008 at 2:54 pm |
WOW HEY GUYS NOTICE THAT IN BOTH JAPAN AND KOREA BOB IN TOP RANK THAT SHOULD DEFINATELY TELL YOU HOW SPEACIAL, UNIQUE AND FUN IS BOB TO PLAY. EVENTHOUGH, THIS IS HIS FIRST APPERANCE. BOB MANAGE TO GAIN THE TRUST OF MANY PROFESSIONAL TEKKEN PLAYERS, THIS IS JUST AMAZING
June 5, 2008 at 11:03 pm |

June 6, 2008 at 12:31 am |

New character ranking by Help Me (06/04/08)
Characters at left are stronger than characters at left.
Characters at right are weaker than characters at right.

A rank – Leo, Jin, Miguel, Armor King, King, Nina, Bryan, Paul, Ling, Steve, Lili, Bruce, Wang, Marduc
B rank – Baek, Christie/Eddy, Hwoarang, Jack, Lee, Zafina, Anna, Asuka, Ganryu
C rank – Kuma/Panda
June 7, 2008 at 9:22 pm |
wowwoweee how come you can judge bob when you havent even play him yet?
November 21, 2009 at 4:35 pm |
look, I don’t care how fast/good bob is, he deserves to be hated just for the fact that he is grown up cartman (from south park) and therefore retarded.
January 31, 2010 at 1:22 pm
because everyone knows fat people are just cartman.
even though he looks and acts nothing like cartman at all, he’s a grown up cartman.
you’re fucking stupid.
June 10, 2008 at 6:00 am |
Yay go Draggy and Kazuya. That’s the way games r played.
June 10, 2008 at 6:20 pm |
can someone tell me why marduk is at the bottom?
Thank you..
June 10, 2008 at 8:18 pm |
Steve 24 ??? .. thts stupid
June 11, 2008 at 6:13 am |
i love what they wrote in the koren list.
June 17, 2008 at 3:51 am |
LMAO…. roger in the top 10. who would have ever thought.
CANT WAIT TO PLAY!!!
June 25, 2008 at 12:47 am |
Hm, big difference in usage of Jacks, Koreans must not like robots as much as the Japanese people do then..
June 25, 2008 at 5:43 pm |
Gay! Wonder why they don’t like Bryan.
June 27, 2008 at 2:40 pm |
damn… Lee is number 30? T_T
well at least leo is 5th and lei is 11th
November 18, 2008 at 1:09 pm |
Where’s the other characters?
November 19, 2008 at 4:22 am |
Dragunov at no. 4!!!! Nice. He’s my favorite character.
But seriously… In an all out fight, he usually loses to faster or stronger characters… And that’s a BIG List. This is more obvious when he gets cornered against a wall. His combos aren’t fast nor can they inflict great damage, making counter attacking difficult.
I hope Tekken 6: Bloodline Rebellion removes some of his weaknesses.
December 30, 2009 at 9:24 pm |
Though most of dragonuv’s combos are slow a lot has priority over other characters. Try using the salvo combo (X,Y,X on the xbox and square, triangle, square on the ps3) that is one that works for me when i get backed up into a corner. or if the timing is right use the feint tackle thing where it looks like he is gonna tackle the other character and then roll to get out
January 1, 2009 at 7:34 pm |
This isn’t what I see it.
January 12, 2009 at 1:29 am |
this seems pretty right now, people whos saying bob isnt good, GOD HES SO GOOD ALL HES MOVES ARE LIKE SUPER FAST, namco screwd up him in t6, thus in t6 br hes getting hit hard by the nerf stick,
i just hope drag doesnt get nerfed much in BR
February 1, 2009 at 11:16 am |
i cant blieve y bruce is among da top 10.he shud b among da top 3.he is da most ferocious player in terms of damage.
March 31, 2009 at 1:23 am |
Lol..Bob is awesome in T6..but still…nina..mid tier??? LOL ..oh well..
April 8, 2009 at 11:39 am |
Ranking as in most liked? From most expert to easiest? Crappiest to most corrupt in advantage? I don’t gellit. Yoshi 25? Pfft, the funk? If it’s in terms of most expert, they got it all wrong imo. Top 10 FTW.
August 13, 2009 at 7:18 am |
Kazuya should be number one.
September 4, 2009 at 5:23 pm |
this is madness im happy about kazuya but how is hwoarang so low ironic hes a korean character, this has to be opinion coz i destroy people with him
September 5, 2009 at 5:02 am |
devil jin should be 1st hes the best have u seen his combos if u dont agree u dnt no how to play him
September 16, 2009 at 2:18 am |
BOB!!
September 27, 2009 at 9:41 am |
PLEASE,,,,,,,
Is there any Pro Gamer or T6 specialist that can update and display a new list??
Because those two former lists here had been displayed for more than a year. You know I could have make a baby inbetween.
Please display the new TEKKEN 6 Tier List, updated end of september 2009!
THKS
September 29, 2009 at 5:31 am |
i guess the ranking is never accurate i saw korean playing tekken 6 br,,honestly they are not as good as any do believe,,promise,,and even the japanese,
October 5, 2009 at 5:58 pm |
What the hell…how the tiers work in tekken? I mean why putting two countries, and how Heichachi rised from bottom to a higher rank? I don’t get it
October 12, 2009 at 5:18 am |
lili , lei , steve and asuka. I foucusing on this 4 characters at the moment
XD
most probably a fifth character will come by
October 12, 2009 at 5:19 am |
lili rochefort ,steve fox, lei wulong, asuka kazama
four characters above rock the core XD
currently are my focuses
October 12, 2009 at 5:19 am |
lili steve lei asuka ROCKS
November 3, 2009 at 1:41 pm |
Christie is the dogs bollocks. this list lies.
November 4, 2009 at 6:12 am |
Meh, i can still kill all of those with Yoshimitsu or Kazuya. Remember kids, its the player, not the character. And if the list is in terms of useability, then yes, Yoshimitsu would be quite low, he’s difficult to master completely.
November 23, 2009 at 7:34 pm |
“is the player, not the character,” I cant agree with you more.. Very true!
You guys, dont pay attention to this list.. Its not how fast or damaging each character’s moves are, its how you use them.
November 6, 2009 at 2:32 am |
[...] [...]
November 15, 2009 at 1:14 am |
Awesum, Kazuya is my favourite, then Devil Jin.
Bob No.1! AWESUM! FATTYS RULE!
November 21, 2009 at 4:40 pm |
Yeah Kazuya ftw. Devil jin/jin seem to have been nurfed a bit for the console/BR…mau. On the otherhand Alisa is fun as hell, waitin on some pro BR Tier lists now
November 23, 2009 at 7:54 pm |
this list means nothing. i play asuka, zafina, lili, christie and alisa. all of them are so unique and fun to play, not to mention pretty. btw really wanna play nina, she is so cool, but sooooooooo difficult to do a combo. it’s like twice effort as other characters.
November 24, 2009 at 3:20 pm |
I really enjoy Chrisite she is very fast and she is good to use against people that are bigger such as bob and dragaNOV
Alisa has some crazy moves because she is bionic
devil jin is awsome
December 1, 2009 at 4:40 am |
where’s Lars? he didn’t make it on the list?
December 11, 2009 at 1:14 am |
what the….. where the hell is lars he should be on the top 5
December 17, 2009 at 1:52 pm |
For all your guys information, this was about tekken 6, not tekken 6 BR. this tier list no longer holds true. no lars or alisa, bob is now NOT overpowered, and the tiers have changd DRAMATICALLY.
December 30, 2009 at 1:34 am |
Then WTF is the new/latest tier list
January 6, 2010 at 4:28 am |
go kazuya! but 4 me i rank zafina as #1….
#1 hottest
January 30, 2010 at 2:41 am |
Why LAW is in rank 11 he is much stronger than roger jr.
February 2, 2010 at 5:56 pm |
man ive been using eddy and christie for awhile and i kick ass with them. i dont like that theyre that far down. however the rest of the list looks fine
February 15, 2010 at 9:25 pm |
Im a total fan of asuka and I think she culd get the #1 spot 4 me anyday
