Everyone wants to know more about Namco Bandai's Tekken 6 for Sony's PlayStation 3 (PS3). Who can blame them considering this video game is probably one of the most popular fighting games in the world? SD Tekken in its recent article posted information on the game. It got the details from issue of Arcadia Magazine  where Katsuhiro Harada, the producer of Tekken 6, was interviewed. So what new details were found?

Aside from the fact that the animations have been changed for every character, it has been revealed that all characters will have an “item move” (just like the Bryan using the shotgun in the trailer). It should be noted that not all moves will be equally powerful (i.e. Anna throwing her high heels at her opponents is her character's item move).

Yoshimitsu has undergone a major overhaul. Harada noted that Yoshimitsu is much more difficult to use now and can be considered an "Expert" character. He also said that in the storyline, his sword is now losing power and he must use new fighting style: Kenjutsu from the Manji clan. This style incorporates dual sword fighting and fist fighting.

Lei Wulong fans might be a bit unnerved to learn that his laying down stances have been changed. To be more precise, SD Tekken has compared the new stance to Lei Fei's and Shun Di's laying down stance from Virtua Fighter 5. Some changes were also implemented regarding Lei being counter-hit or juggled from his laying down stances.

Marshall Law was also overhauled - SD Tekken said that Bruce Lee and Jeet Kun Do fans would be pleased by these changes. Could it be that he is now more flexible as a character, with more avenues of attack?

The final and perhaps most groundbreaking revelation from Harada is his re-confirmation that Leo is a indeed a girl. This has ended the long standing feud among the QJ bloggers regarding her gender.

Tekken 6 is set to be released next year for the PS3. We are anxiously waiting to see if the game becomes as popular as the previous iterations of the game have.
