Build a small move set
Practise a quick poke, a reliable punish and a short combo. Add more moves once you can use those consistently.
Azazel — unplayable boss in Tekken 6.
Rage
Low health activates a damage boost. Tekken 6 does not have Tekken 7’s Rage Art or Rage Drive attacks.
NANCY-MI847J — unplayable boss in Tekken 6.
Bound
Certain attacks bounce an airborne opponent into a vulnerable state, allowing a combo extension.
Breakable environments
Some walls and floors give way, carrying a fight into a new area. Practise those transitions separately.
The 2009 PS3 and Xbox 360 editions based on Bloodline Rebellion. PSP differences, particularly the absence of Scenario Campaign, are noted separately.
