Katsuhiro Harada, director of Tekken 6, has stated the game will retain all of the elements from Tekken 5 and Tekken 5: Dark Resurrection that were well-received by fans. He also said that the stages will be bigger and will have more interactivity and the character customization feature will be more involved with gameplay.[3]

Tekken 6 packs the full punch of next-gen power for the first PS3 chapter in the acclaimed fighting franchise.

System: Playstation 3 and XBOX 360 (yes, for the 360, dont argue me about this. It has already been confirmed in a interview as it is).

Changes that have been noted thus far include:

* Every frame animation for every character has been changed.
* Minor changes have been made to the move lists of all the characters. This includes additions of new moves and losses of others such as Heihachi Mishima’s Twin Pistons. In some cases, a move may simply have a new command.
* Some characters have had their fighting stances changed. Some have been changed greatly, while others have only been changed slightly. Those characters are Bruce Irvin, Lei Wulong, Marshall Law, Nina Williams, and Yoshimitsu.
* A number of characters have had their voices and/or their sounds changed.
* Some stages are multi-tiered with destructible environments (players can break through walls or floors to reveal new fighting areas) with new stage features and daylight/night-time transitions (Temple Grounds) depending on the stage.
* Both the Playstation 3 and Xbox 360 versions of the game will include an online versus multiplayer mode over PSN and Xbox Live respectively.[4]
* The character customization from Tekken 5 returns, with improved options and more items. The player is able to switch tops and bottoms between available character costumes, as well as substitute alternate pieces. There are common options shared by many or all characters including various items like glasses, hats, decorative swords and options for ‘bare hands’ or ‘bare feet’. There are also character-specific items and pieces, as well as special items that unlock “item moves” once equipped. For example, Bryan Fury can use a shotgun.
* The game adds a new “rage” system, which gives characters more power when their vitality is low. When activated, a red energy field surrounds the character and their health bar starts to flicker red.[5]
* The game introduces a new system called “Bound”; after moves that knock the opponent down in juggles, the opponent cannot tech roll. A new bound comes into play, extending juggle possibilities.
* The game has an increased health bar compared to the previous games, due to the extended combos made possible by Bound.
* Two new KO animations have been added. Low-hit KOs will have the character fall to their knees and roll onto their backs. Mid-hit KOs will now cause the opponent to jacknife forwards, clutching at their gut, before falling backwards to lie on their back, ending with their legs bent.
* Using a low parry, which is available for every character, no longer guarantees a launch.
* All jabs are now universally 10 frames except Ganryu’s whose jab is still 12 frames.
* Some characters will have new costumes; others may have minor changes to their original default costumes such as color changes.
* Marshall Law has gone through an extensive change for Tekken 6, including a new ready stance and new moves.
* Yoshimitsu has gone under the most drastic change. Developers note that it will be much more difficult to use Yoshimitsu in Tekken 6, and they consider him an Expert character. Part of his story includes the fact that his sword is now losing power, and he must take a new fighting style, Kenjutsu from the Manji clan, this includes both dual sword fighting and pure fist fighting.
