Tekken 6 for the PS3 and Xbox 360 will launch on North America on October 27, with the PSP version coming later this fall season. 

A series of marketing strategy will hit us this month, but who are we to complain right? As long as we’re seeing some real action from our favorite Tekken characters then I’m better than good.  

And if you actually like seeing a woman and man battle it out on the ground, then I am also sure you’re going to love the next video in the coming weeks, which will show two bikini-clad women fighting. Check back again here for more action.

Here’s one of my favorite characters in PSP–Asuka Kazam. This Japanese-punching (and poking) fighter is one of the most commonly used charcters in the popular series of games, Tekken 6. And ever since her debut, we have seen her develop some interesting battle moves.

Her good launch moves, versatile juggles (you’ll see her feet do some tap-tapping on the floor), quick pokes and her variations of high and low attacks equally made her in league to my own Lily. This trailer will actually convince you why Asuka is a force to reckon with (not to mention that she’s got incredible-looking wardrobe too).

Being at the receiving end of any of Asuka’s combo would give you one hell of a blackeye (if it’s in real life, of course) and would knock you out for good. See your life meter quickly decreases from every punch and combo kicks you’ll get from Asuka.

Tekken 6 will be available for Playstation 3, Xbox 360 and PSP.

What do you say we feature Tekken 6’s Steve Fox? You probably know by now I’m a big fan of the series, so I basically gather anything I can about the popular franchise game.

Tekken’s Steve Fox is a middleweight boxing champion from England (atleast that’s what his story tells in the game). And if you’re smart enough, you’re going to notice that Steve always wear his red and blue boxing gloves. Steve’s rapid-punching moves are has been a fan favorite ever since his debut. No one punches like him among all the characters in Tekken. And though he doesn’t have that much kick-ass ability (like other characters), his punching combinations can knock you out in seconds.

Steve’s speedy boxing abilities can pretty much throw you out of the game. If you’ve been punch one time, expect two or more three punches to follow after that. Watch out for Steve in Tekken 6. Steve will be boxing fans’ official hero in Tekken.

You can probably surmise that from my frequent posts about Tekken, I’m a serious patron of the game. Here is another trailer of one of my favorite characters from the popular game series. Lei Wulong from Tekken is the master of the Five-Style Chinese Martial Arts (although not too much combo), but his punches got some serious knock-out abilities.

Watching him kick some enemies’  asses in this video reminds me of a Jackie Chan movie I saw last year (the one he made with Jet Li). Lei has come very far since his debut in Tekken 1. And although he may have not that many combos, the quality of his combo extenders, however, is still way up there.

Tekken 6 will be released for the Playstation 3, Xbox 360 and PSP, so do watch out for more trailers in the future.

Here’s a new trailer of Christie Monteiro. Yep, that hot Brazilian (Eddie’s sister, if my cousin is correct) in the popular Tekken series. Gametrailer released this new trailer of Tekken 6, which is basically compatible with every game console out there—Playstation 3, Xbox 360 and PSP).

Christie is usually a newbie magnet because of her ferocious sense of style (and of course, the way she looks). Don’t be fooled though. Christie is actually one of my favorite characters; and not because of how she looks. But the girl got some moves really. She packed some serious butt-kicking skills that can be a match to her brother, and even the upper-skilled characters.

Between the girl characters in Tekken, I often find it hard who among them I like the best. Basically, I use Lily a lot because I love the story behind her character (a rich brat who has to fight for her father, etc.) but case in point, if we go for moves, I’m putting my bet on Christie. The girl got serious combos like no other Tekken characters before.

But besides those added feature to the new Tekken, I was immediately smitten with the new visual effects that was added by some computer software genius. For Tekken’s 15th anniversary, Katsuhiro Harada took the Tekken 6: Bloodline Rebellion movement to the Playstation 3 and the Xbox 360 to bring to new heights the game’s graphics. One of the things I loved about the new release is the full-time variable motion blur effect—a first for fighting games—that made the character’s movements more realistic by blurring the directions of their movements.

Harada says it is not like the partial blurring effect that was used in past games; this one’s on the top of the blurring vision effects. It’s like no other. The effect depends on the movement’s style and speed, which personally I know can be reset by the player—it could also be turned on or off depending on your preference. But for maximum effect, I suggest you turn the visual on. It’s simply stunning.

Here are caps of the effect: The ones on the left are without he motion blur effect, and the one on the right are the ones who had it on.

It’s pretty difficult to appreciate it as screencaps. And a video might be better. Check this site out in the future for a video. I have to scrounge around for it. But take m y word for it, the effects are a treat in the eyes.
