Production delays and the wishes of Tekken fans aside, Bandai Namco has finally revealed a new three-minute trailer (featuring in-game fight footage) for the arcade version of Tekken 6, which will feature the second-largest roster of characters of any other Tekken game. In addition to returning characters, the trailer also showcased 2 new characters: Leo and Zafina.
The trailer has been made available on the official Japanese Tekken 6 site, which has just recently upgraded to add a brand new Tekken 6 section.
According to reports, one new character is the blonde, German-born Leo, a fighter whose techniques are based on an explosive martial art that is known for its short range power and elbow strikes called Bajiquan. Namco representatives assure that both Tekken veterans and rookies will be able to adapt to him quickly.
Zafina, another new character, is sure to intrigue players with her mysterious nature, as well as her unique fighting style of fluid techniques.
The Tekken 6 trailer also featured brand new stages and environments, including Bryan’s stage, which features a tank sitting in the middle of the arena. As they’ve done in more recent Tekken games, it seems that developers will continue to pay attention to creating obstacles within the playing field.
Facial features in the game also look more detailed than ever. The character customization system, which has been greatly upgraded since the series’ last installment, offers customization for 10 different parts of a character’s costume.
