TEKKEN 6 NEWS!



I've just read some article regarding the next installment in the TEKKEN series ---

TEKKEN 6

----------

All characters have an "item move", like the Bryan shotgun we saw at the AOU trailer. Although not all of them will have the same effectiveness. An example of an "item move" will be Anna throwing her high heels at her opponents.

Fans of Yoshimitsu will probably be up late tonight, sweating the details on his changes. After so much fighting, it seems 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."

New tidbits from the latest issue of Arcadia Magazine indicate a massive overhaul for many of the older characters in Tekken 6. Among the main highlights of the article were:

- Animations have been changed for every character!
- All characters have an “item move”, like the Bryan shotgun we saw at the AOU trailer. Although not all of them will have the same effectiveness. An example of an “item move” will be Anna throwing her high heels at her opponents.
- Harada officially stated that Leo IS a girl.
- So far Yoshimitsu has gone under the most drastic change. Harada notes that it will be much more difficult to use Yoshimitsu this time around 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!
- A lot of Lei Wulong’s laying down stances have been changed. They look more like Lei Fei and Shun Di’s laying down stance from Virtua Fighter 5. They also changed the properties where Lei can be counter-hit and juggled out of his laying down stances.
- Many changes were done to Marshall Law. It is noted that fans of Bruce Lee and those that know of Jeet Kune Do will be very pleased.

PS3 Log-003

VIRTUA FIGHTER 5!



Just got a copy of VF5! I almost got blinded by the game's jaw dropping details. I've played Vf1 (the first 3D fighting game ive played in the arcades), 2 (i've played 2 for a while much better than VF3 imo) and VF4 (i got my ass kicked against dashfury's Vanessa in VF4) , with VF5 the game just got even better. Still got the same 3 button layout (guard / punch / kick). Dojo (Training mode) is great for those who are not familiar with the game. This game should keep 3D fighting game fans busy till Tekken 6 (2008) hit the PS3... visit challenger!
