Here’s an introduction of the new characters in Tekken 6. The first new character, Zafina, is a female who will have moves Harada likened to that of a “spider” and who enters the tournament to prevent the clash of the “two evil stars.” The second character, Leo, is a German who is intended to be a character who can be played by beginners and experienced players alike. The death of Leo’s mother prompts Leo to begin investigating the Mishima Zaibatsu. The third character, Miguel, is a Spaniard with a passion for fighting, but no real discipline. Miguel wants to exact revenge upon the death of his sister at her wedding. The fourth character, Bob, is an American who is known as a martial arts genius. Due to being unable to defeat larger opponents however, he disappeared from the fighting world, determined to increase his weight and power while still maintaining speed. Bob enters The King of Iron Fist Tournament 6 to test his new skills. Azazel is the final boss of the game. Azazel’s story is said to be related with Zafina and Julia Chang’s story in Tekken 6 and the confrontation between Jin Kazama and his father Kazuya Mishima. NANCY-MIS47J is a hidden sub-boss, whose story says she is an upgraded version of the Jacks for the Mishima Zaibatsu. The official Tekken 6 website shows one more space on the selection screen which may be used for Azazel or another unlockable character.
Watch 9 minutes of Tekken 6 fighting gameplay from the arcade version that was released in Japanese arcades on November 26th, 2007. It includes a look at the full character select screen as well.
Tekken 6’s storyline has also been reported by Wikipedia: “Jin Kazama has been revealed as the winner of the King of Iron Fist Tournament 5, and has begun using the Mishima Zaibatsu for world conquest, declaring war on several nations and even space colonies until the entire world is at war.
Meanwhile, Kazuya Mishima has discovered the division of G Corporation that tried to kill him, and takes his revenge by murdering them all. Kazuya then takes control of G Corporation and uses it as the only power in the world to counter the Mishima Zaibatsu. By this time, the world sees G Corporation as its only saviour and Kazuya is viewed as a hero, although his true intentions are to kill Jin and steal his part of the Devil Gene to stop him interfering with his own plans for world domination. Using G Corporation’s newfound popularity to his advantage, Kazuya puts a bounty on Jin’s head, dead or alive. — Jin, having anticipated this, announces the King of Iron Fist Tournament 6 to rid himself of Kazuya and his enemies once and for all.”
A lot of spoilers, but still worth for them, that haven't seen all those things. Almost all of the things posted in this article is common knowlegde, unless someone here is new or have been living under a rock in a while
Anyways I'll be updating my sticky official Tekken 6 thread with this news, and later in June will I make a place where there's links to the Tekken 6 news posted by other people, so the dudes here can get the full list of news posted since February 2007 about Tekken 6!¨
PS: Some of the characters CGI's they've posted are from Tekken 5/DR! Shame on them!! And who knows, if Namco decides to put extra new or returning characters in the console version of Tekken 6 or not, so we better wait, and see what will happen:P
wow thats alot they really have alot of great fighters all with very distinctive styles, and a great fighting system which is why this series is one of the best if not the best fighting games.
i wonder how the ps3 version looks compared to the arcade one out now
So let's get back to what you said... say what? It's more DOA 2, that got pwned dude

Dude I think there'll be more characters in the console version hopefully, like they added Heihachi and other characters to the console version of Tekken 5 (original).
And yes the console version of Tekken 6 will rule

It's TBA 2008, but some places say 2009. So let's wait until Namco gives us a official message, where they say Tekken 6 is delayed till 2009.

You know they want to make it good, so therefore is it taking them so long, and also because of Soul Calibur IV:P
I love that game, used to play it everyday as soon as I got home from school for a couple of hours. Put on my minidisc player (yea it was cool back in the day!) for some cool tunes, whenever I hear the songs I played I always reminisce of those old tekken tag days...Ahhhhhh...
I just couldnt stand tekken tag,dunno why,hopefully tekken 6 will own.
Lol that's weird. Because Tekken Tag was everyone's favourite Tekken game after Tekken 2-3. But Tekken 6 will own as the bosses screens reminds me of Tekken 2!

I'd say that Tekken 2 was my favorite back in the day.
Is leo supposed to be a guy? cause i am very confused
Not officially stated anywhere, but for the most part, she is considered female, especially by the majority of people who have had a closer look and played the game.
I think I'll give her a ponytail, no jacket, and the choker, and she'll look more girly then.

Sorry, but I have my doubts. You may have posted it first, and I missed it, probably because the official character list has been known since February anyway (November even, if you exclude the bonus sub-boss, Nancy).
Yeah I know a lot about Tekken 6, but I don't work at Namco, so sometimes do I guess on somethings, that may be right sometimes.
But that doesn't mean, that I tell the people here false informations.
Quote:
Well, hopefully Iwao is wrong on this one:P
Hey I didn't say I was the source or that it was coming 2009. The only thing I said it means maybe it was planned for 2009 as it wasn't on this list. But oh well Namco will soon reveal new informations about the release date this year.
Quote:
IWAO did say that, but he was making an assumption from an article that did not state anything about Tekken 6 AT ALL. The article basically provided a list that Namco released about their releases for 2008, so he assumed that meant T6 was not until 2009.
That list was not a list of ALL their releases for the rest of the year AND SDTekken spoke with a Namco rep at Namco's editor day last April, where the rep told them T6 was still planned for this year.
IWAO reported it within the topic title as if it was factfully stated by Namco that T6 was delayed until 2009, but that is entirely false.
He is a good, strong enthusiast, but not infallible.
The game may or may not come out this year, it's still at a point where those interested simply have to wait and see. Based on what Namco stated last year at a PlayStation premiere event in Japan last year, it would be released within a year of the arcade release (Nov. 26th, 2007 in Japan). So...one would expect it this year, at least for Japan, perhaps closer to the end of the year though they never really said.
Again I'm not saying this means Namco have planned to release it in 2009, but sometimes does those release lists show signs of things, that can mean this.
So please forgive for not been right whole the time. Like anyone other than a Tekken developer here can be.

IWAO isnt that bright so don't believe any thing he says. Im glad to see someone else post Tekken news.
Do you think I want to be the only, that posts Tekken 6 news here or what?
Now the second part of your comment... When your grammer, behaviour/conduct and manner is alright, then will I listen to you. But when you keep insulting people here, so'll your future here be dark.
Do us all here a favour, and become a member of the QPI as soon as you can.
