Game System & General Moves ~ ~ ~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Coming in a future update... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~ ~ ~ 8. Bound Moves ~ ~ ~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Tekken 6 introduces "bound" moves to the fighting system which allows airborne opponents to be bounced off the ground which can be used to extend a juggle. A list of Bound Moves can be found on IGN at the following link, but might also be added here at some point in the future: http://faqs.ign.com/articles/105/1055592p1.html ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~ ~ ~ 9. Customization Item Moves ~ ~ ~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Tekken 6 allows for special moves to be performed when a certain customization item is equipped. I have put together a list that contains those special items, body part, price, notation, and properties. The list can be found on IGN at the following link, but might also be added here at some point in the future: http://faqs.ign.com/articles/105/1052860p1.html ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~ ~ ~ 10. Secrets / Unlockables / Nice-To-Know ~ ~ ~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The following is a list of secrets, unlockables, and nice-to-know information for the console and PSP versions of Tekken 6. --------------------------------------- Taunts / Intro Poses / Win Poses --------------------------------------- Each fighter has a unique set of pre-match and post-match taunts / winposes. It appears that the pre-match taunts are perfomed randomly, but the post-match taunts / win poses can be selected by pressing a combination of buttons. "Goh_Billy" has written a "Win Pose Guide" that covers this: http://www.gamefaqs.com/console/ps3/file/928302/58515 "AdminDeebo" of Tekken Nation has created a thread that contains YouTube videos of the Win and Intro Poses for most of the characters: WIN/INTRO POSES DISCUSSION http://tekkennation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=3834 --------------------------------------- Ranking List --------------------------------------- The following a list of the rankings available. Thanks to the following people for helping put this list together: feichunwong, Mokujin Man, Spero Gin, White Angel Ranks: Beginner 9th - 1st kyu 1st - 4th dan Mentor Master Rogue Brawler Marauder Berserker Warrior Avenger Vindicator Juggernaut Vanquisher Destroyer Conqueror Savior Champion Overlord Sage Legend Fujin Raijin Yaksa Raksasa Asura Lord of War Dragon Lord Tekken Lord Tekken Emperor Tekken God A video of the available rankings can be seen below: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cXc-9vUTXxw The following modes can be used to increase your rank: Arcade Battle, Ghost Battle, Online Mode > Ranked Match (console only) For the PS3 and Xbox 360 versions, you are only able to rank up to 1st Dan offline and will need to play online ranked matches to rank up further. The PSP version doesn’t have any restrictions on ranking up. Starting from the Beginner, you can reach 1st Dan after about 30 wins from the Ghost Battle mode. For the PSP version, it will probably take you somewhere around 280 wins to reach the "Tekken God" ranking. --------------------------------------- Unlock Comic Effects --------------------------------------- After clearing "Azazel's Temple, Central Corridor" within the Scenario Campaign mode, you can unlock the "Comic Effect (English)" and "Comic Effect (Japanese)", which are equippable under the "Effect" option for character customization. When equipped, some moves will cause special effect words to appear (that you would often see in a comic book) when you charge or attack your opponent, such as Paul's "Phoenix Smasher" (qcf+2) and the universal "Ki Charge" (1+2+3+4). --------------------------------------- Unlock PlayStation Home Items --------------------------------------- The PS3 version of Tekken 6 has integration with Sony's virtual world known as "PlayStation Home". You are able to unlock items and clothing for PlayStation Home by completing taks within the game. Here is a list of what you can unlock: - Clear Offline Mode > Arcade Battle TEKKEN 6 - Arcade Cabinet - Clear "Container Terminal 7" stage in Scenario Campaign TEKKEN 6 - Logo T-Shirt (M) TEKKEN 6 - Logo T-Shirt (F) - Clear "Mishima Estate" stage in Scenario Campaign TEKKEN 6 - Crystal 6 T-Shirt (M) TEKKEN 6 - Crystal 6 T-Shirt (F) - Clear "G Corporation, Millennium Tower Heliport" stage in Scenario Campaign TEKKEN 6 - Kazuya Gloves - Clear "Azazel's Temple, Central Corridor" stage in Scenario Campaign TEKKEN 6 - Long T-Shirt (M) TEKKEN 6 - Long T-Shirt (F) --------------------------------------- PS3 XMB Music --------------------------------------- Tekken 6 is one of the few games available for the PS3 that allow you to play music stored on your system's hard drive by accessing the PS3's XMB (Xross Media Bar). From what I hear, the Xbox 360 has music playback available for every game. Below, you can find some instructions on how to play your own music while playing Tekken 6: 1. After the game has been loaded, press the "PS" button in the middle of your PS3 controller to bring up the XMB. 2. Scroll horizontally to the "Music" icon, then vertially to find a song or playlist that you want to play then select it with the "X" button. 3. The music will now play. You can repeat step #1 and #2 to select a different song or playlist. There will now be a music playback control available at the very top of the "Music" section that you can use to pause, stop, repeat, shuffle, change volume, etc. --------------------------------------- PS3 XMB Screenshot Capturing --------------------------------------- Tekken 6 is one of the few games available for the PS3 that allow you to take screenshot captures of your game from the PS3's XMB (Xross Media Bar). Below, you can find some instructions on how to do this: 1. After the game has been loaded, and you find something that you want to take a screenshot of, press the "PS" button in the middle of your PS3 controller to bring up the XMB. 2. Scroll horizontally to the "Photo" icon, then vertically to locate the "Save Screenshot" icon, then select it with the "X" button. 3. After doing this, you will see the "Save Screenshot" text in the bottom right corner of the screen. When you're ready, press the "X" button to save the screeenshot to your PS3's hard drive. 4. You are now finished. You can take another screenshot by going back to step #1. All screenshots will be saved in the PNG format, named "Tekken 6", and can be found under the "Photo" icon on the XMB. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~ ~ ~ 11.

About Tekkenomics ~ ~ ~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The main purpose of "Tekkenomics" is to provide you with Tekken FAQs/Guides and to keep you updated on Tekken news and information. "Tekkenomics" was originally the name of the website created by me (Wild Man X), with help from Paulinstein and Drake the Demon, which first came online on November 6, 2004. However, due to someone engaging in piracy on our hosting server the website went down in April 2007. With the release of Tekken 6 approaching for consoles, I decided to bring back Tekkenomics, but in the form of a blog, back in June 2009. "Tekkenomics" contains various Tekken related material, some of which is difficult to find on any other Tekken based website. The blog will contain exclusive articles, original FAQ files, move lists, combos/juggles, combo videos, in-game matches, Tekken commercials, PC desktop wallpaper, PSP wallpaper, CG art, fan-based material, and other things. If you're having problems visiting the "Tekkenomics Blog" at http://www.tekkenomics.com, you can also visit it at the following link: http://tekkenomics.wordpress.com If you were wondering how we came up with the name "Tekkenomics", back in my high school days in the year 2000, Paulinstein, me, and some other high school friends would get together to play Tekken 3 on the PlayStation 1. At the time, we were also enrolled in Economics. Whenever we would get together to play, we would say that we were going to study some "Tekkenomics". So, basically: "Tekken" + "Economics" = "Tekkenomics". There are a few references on the web to the name "Tekkenomics" that aren't related to us or our blog. There are some members on the Tekken Zaibatsu forums that go by the names "Tekkenomics", "Tekkenomics_101", and "TekkenNomics Jr." that aren't related to us. On Tekken Zaibatsu, we go by the names "Wild Man X", "Paulinstein", and "Drake the Demon". The things on the web that ARE related to us are at: GameFAQs, Neoseeker, IGN, 1UP.com, Gamerhelp, Gamespot, MySpace, AIM, MSN Messenger, Hotmail, GMail, YouTube, PicasaWeb, Blogger, WordPress, ImageShack, and Twitter. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~ ~ ~ 16.
