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.

- 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, it’s more like a hammer fist move that causes knockdown.

- Heihachi has a new low move.
- EWGF, f,f+2, d+1 and hellsweep seem to be the same.
KAZUYA MISHIMA

- 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 Heihachi’s b+2. Does not stun on CH.
