The AI here is strong - there are five difficulty levels to choose from, ranging from ridiculously easy to frustratingly tough, so there's a good chance you'll find a fit for your own experience level. Arcade allows you to gain ranks for each individual character, with the game emulating the experience of playing against real people by having your AI opponents appear with their own individual gamer names, win/loss ratios, and ranks. Apart from the stock-standard Arcade mode, you can play through Story mode, Ghost mode and challenge battles.
TEKKEN 6 ALL CHARACTERS PORTABLE
Previous Tekken ports have been known for their wealth of game modes, but Tekken 6 is rather bare, omitting the extras seen in previous home and portable versions (such as bowling in Tekken Dark Resurrection). It's pretty exciting when you're able to pull off a miraculous win, thanks to your rage-fuelled strikes, but the rage system is one that's unlikely to change the course of most matches because by the time it kicks in, you're usually only one or two hits away from oblivion. Another new addition is rage, a power-up of sorts, which activates when your pugilist's health dips to about 10 percent. Just as with juggles, each of the characters has his or her own bound launcher, and it's a great new addition for Tekken fanatics to explore. The bound system essentially allows you to extend combos by slamming an airborne opponent into the ground, leaving him or her momentarily vulnerable for further strikes. Other important moves include throw counters, wall juggles, roll evasions and various in-depth strategies.įor those already comfortable with their various 10-hit combos, Tekken 6 introduces a new way to deal extended damage. Juggle combos - where you launch your opponent into the air and try to keep him or her there - are still integral to the Tekken experience for expert players. Stringing them together into increasingly damaging combos, however, will take some practice, which is where the game gets deliciously deep. Most of the hundreds of moves in the game are a cinch to perform individually, which means you'll be able to pull off some flashy moves from the get-go. Thus, novices and experts alike should have no problem in getting their heads (and hands) around the controls. Tekken's fight mechanics - each limb assigned to the four face buttons on the PSP, with special moves usually performed via button combos and directional pokes on the D pad or control stick - are eminently suited to the PSP's layout.
TEKKEN 6 ALL CHARACTERS SERIES
Alisa is just sheer fun to play given her frankly bizarre move list, which includes using her own head as an explosive and a whole series of attacks based on her chainsaw appendages.Ī fembot with chainsaws for hands may seem overpowered in a fighting game, but Tekken 6 manages the tough task of presenting a well-balanced brawler despite the abundance of characters. Of the new recruits, Zafina is the most unique, thanks to her distinctive-looking moves that incorporate stance-based attacks, such as the off-putting tarantula, which sees her get down on all fours to creep low along the ground.
TEKKEN 6 ALL CHARACTERS ANDROID
These include: Bob, a rotund American fighter who is deceptively speedy for his size Leo, an androgynous German martial arts specialist Miguel, a Spanish brawler who relies more on power than speed Zafina, a member of a mysterious secret order who sports some creepy and unusual stances Alisa, a seemingly naive young girl who's actually a jetpack-and-chainsaw-wielding android and Lars, who has some relation to the sprawling Mishima bloodline (hence his move-set similarity to Jin and Kazuya). It's not all veterans, of course, with six new characters making their debut in Tekken 6. Despite this, most of the returning characters feel completely familiar, so you'll never feel like you have to relearn your favorite fighter from scratch. Most characters get a new attack or two, some stances have been modified, and the damage dealt by some of the more powerful combos in the past have been slightly toned down. Experienced Tekken players will see that the tweaks and changes made to the move sets of returning characters are, for the most part, minor. The game has a robust lineup that features 41 fighters, including old stalwarts such as Kazuya, Lei, Paul, Nina and Jin, as well as recent additions from Dark Resurrection, such as Lili and the emo-Nazi look-a-like Dragunov. In fact, it feels and plays exactly like the console and arcade iterations of Tekken 6. While it strips out the console version's lengthy beat-'em-up campaign and doesn't have the same depth of character customisation, this is an otherwise pitch-perfect conversion.
