One of Yoshimitsu's unique strengths throughout the series has been his crazy stances and unblockable sword attacks, and although he retains many of his classic moves, the ways in which they combo together have been drastically reworked. Most noticeable is Yoshimitsu and his new double sword style. His flamboyant flips and pirouettes are at odds with his excessive girth, and I can't help smiling at names like "rolling kebab" and "supersize missile".įor those players eager to make the jump from Tekken 5 to Tekken 6, be warned that Namco has made significant changes to a handful of characters. The new bloods are three new guys and three new girls, with the larger than life Bob my pick of the litter. Underneath the new textures and added polygons, all your old favourites like Jin, Hwoarang, Nina and Paul have made it into the game along with six new fighters, giving Tekken 6 a 40-strong roster and a new variety benchmark. By bounding an opponent off the floor you can sometimes break into the room below. Tekken 6 now includes multi-tiered arenas. Namco has also furnished Tekken 6 with an optional motion blur, which communicates a greater sense of momentum. Animation is also top notch, with each combatant faithfully representing their chosen fighting style - albeit with inhuman strength and reduced gravity. All the characters have been well realised, with a standard of detail comparable to SoulCalibur IV, if not quite beyond Virtua Fighter 5. Graphically, Tekken 6 shows a bit of age but is still attractive. The question is, does the long overdue console port of Tekken 6 have what it takes to wow the West? When you consider Tekken 6 has been out in Japan since 2007, the continued devotion is even more impressive.
The latest statistics from Arcadia Magazine suggest that Tekken 6: Bloodline Rebellion has the largest audience, followed by BlazBlue, Melty Blood, Guilty Gear, and then Street Fighter IV. Eek.īut in Japanese arcades the popularity contest has gone a very different way. Upon finally reaching G1 earlier this year, after many hours in championship mode, a glance at the leaderboards revealed I was still ranked below 6000 more dedicated players. If you're looking for the current beat-'em-up champion here in the West, look no further than Street Fighter IV.
