Namco today, as part of their build up to Tekken 6's Q4 release, released a ton of screens and character bios of a handful of the game's names. All the screenshots found here, (and below) have these characters in action, either kicking butt, or getting their ass handed to them. Without further ado, let's meet the characters.

Name: Alisa Bosconovich
Fighting Style: Special
Country: Russia

Deep in the forest, there is a heavily guarded research facility. Taking the name of the research leader, the facility is called the Bosconovich Laboratory. The facility was highly valued by the Mishima Zaibatsu, as it undertook all of the military equipment development for the organization.

The lowermost level of the facility houses a top secret section. In one of its rooms, there slept a young girl in a clear capsule. Her name was Alisa Bosconovich. Everything else about her is a mystery...

Name: Eddy Gordo
Fighting style: Capoeira
Nationality: Brazil

Eddy failed to win The King of Iron Fist Tournament 5. He pleaded with Jin, who had become the new head of the Mishima Zaibatsu, to help him save his mentor. After looking at Eddy and appearing to think for a moment, Jin agreed to help with developing medical treatment for Eddy's mentor in exchange for Eddy joining the Tekken Force and reporting to him. Eddy knew nothing about the Tekken Force, other than it was a private military outfit, but agreed to join if it would save his mentor.

Eddy became a member of the Tekken Force and carried out plans of destruction around the world. Even though he knew the consequences of his actions, Eddy was unable to leave the Tekken Force. When the Mishima Zaibatsu announced The King of Iron Fist Tournament 6, Eddy joined the tournament as a member of the Tekken Force in order to eliminate those who would threaten Jin.

Name: Lars Alexandersson
Fighting Style: Karate
Country: Sweden

Force, defected from the organization. Lars Alexandersson led the coup d'état. With an uncommonly high physical and mental ability, Lars become a ranking officer in the Tekken Force at a young age. Despite his high rank, Lars often fought in the front lines. Due to this and his friendly character, he was popular among his subordinates.

Only he knew the fact that he drew the Mishima bloodline through his father, Heihachi. Even Heihachi was not aware.



Name: Marshall Law
Fighting Style: Martial Arts
Nationality: USA

In the middle of The King of Iron Fist Tournament 5, Marshall Law's illegal employment in Japan was detected, and he was deported back to the United States. The due date for monetary damages caused by his son's accident was approaching, but Law had no means to deliver the cash and was completely out of ideas.

It was then that Law received an invitation from his friend, Paul Phoenix, to team up in the next tournament. Although certainly difficult alone, the likelihood of receiving the top prize money was higher as a team. After accepting Paul's invitation, Law realized that three people would be even better than two, and he set his eyes on the world-famous boxer, Steve Fox.

Yoshimitsu
Fighting Style: Advanced Manji Ninjutsu
Nationality: None (originally Japan)

Yoshimitsu was following Bryan Fury in order to take revenge for his fallen comrade when he noticed the sinister aura emanating from the spirit sword Yoshimitsu. The spirit sword, by its very nature, was in continuous pursuit of blood and drives its owner insane. Yoshimitsu had been suppressing the sword's power by supplying it with the blood of the malicious and evil. However, it was gradually becoming more difficult to maintain the sword's balance.

Left unchecked, there was a chance the sword may lose control, causing chaos and destruction, and seek out a new owner. In order to prevent this, Yoshimitsu attained the Fumaken, a sword with the ability to contain the power of the evil sword. At the same time, he joined The King of Iron Fist Tournament 6, where evil energy collected, hoping to return the balance of the spirit sword to normal.

Check out the Tekken 6 gallery here for the rest of the new character screens.

  • Sweet! I love tekken, glad its coming to xbox!!
  • look awesome hope chieves are stupid combo ones like DC vs MK
  • I hope this has a connection strength Bar for the VS matches just like SF4, It's the only way to get decent online combat lag free, Looking forward to this.
  • Poop
  • Might pick it up to play with friends but I hate the air juggling (and even the dev said that this is the main component, which is blah IMO) which makes the online unplayable for the casual fighter gamer.
  • I'm wondering if I'll be able to get good at this coming from a long history of playing Tekken on Playstation controllers. I'm not worried about the buttons, its the crappy d-pad I'm going to have to get used to.
  • Any Penny Arcade fans if you pre-order this from selest retailers you get a special Cardboard Tube Samurai outfit for Yoshimitsu!
  • Im Getting this because there is a Swedish dude in it ;) jk But this games looks promising and I will maube buy it =D
  • yaaay another fighting game
  • Looks good to me...just hope the difficulty isn't too high as that is kinda off putting in fighting games sometimes. Rob
  • i loved the tekken series when i was younger. I loved playing as Eddie and doing many kicks and combos. Glad it came to xbox
  • awesome! tekken is so cool, yoshimitsu is a badass!
  • lol fighting style: "special" and "martial arts"... man I cannot even tell where Yoshimitsu's head is.
  • Nice, loved playing as Yoshimitsu... even though it was all the way back on Tekken 3. Might get this one if i have enough money
  • There is wwwaaaaaayyyy to many fight games out right now!
  • Eddy FTW! Capoeira PWNS!
  • Wooo Tekken!
  • Ah Eddie.... I see you and your "noobbuttonmashingcombos" have returned once more....
  • Can't wait for this and some very long combos with Nina Williams
  • Eddy Gordo. Hell yeah, loved playing as him.
  • wow to #1 its all about chieves wit u people isnt it
  • Your comment (#9) is just plain stupid, it's like saying "Yay! Another sports game!" or "Yay! Another shooter!", does the word 'genre' say anything to you? I've never played any of the series, but I'll make sure to try this one!
  • Oh, and if you weren't sarcastic, I didn't say anything lol.
  • Same here #6. I'm good at this fighting series but I've always played it on the Playstation. I guess I also have to get used to the 360's d-pad. Oh well can't wait for this. P.S. Eddy for the win!
  • After playing soul calibur I can't get into tekken anymore, haven't bothered with them since tekken tag.
  • Yes, Yoshimitsu is back! Hadn't seen him in any of the Tekken 6 gameplay/preview videos that have come out so far, I was afraid they dropped him. Thanks for this, definitely my favorite character. The only character that could revive his life. Nice to see Marshall Law & Eddy Gordo as well. Windmill kicks and breakdancing anyone?
  • i own w/ eddy
  • yay tekken for xbox. i hope it comes out soon
  • Can't wait to play this!!!
  • i love how Yoshimitsu is getting pwnd in the only 2 pics hes in.
  • I wish they'd release a Tekken Tag 2, Just do Tekken Tag with the new graphics and every character and alternate character. (mokujin, gold mokujin, tetsujin, tiger, panda etc...)
  • Oh noes, I meant except for gon, that guy sucks!
  • SO looking forward to this. Can't wait!
  • Yay EDDIE !
  • -I wonder if Alisa Bosconovich is the birth (or genetically made) daughter of Dr. Bosconovich? -Good to see Eddy is back. -Lars drew the Mishima bloodline? Gotta keep an eye on him! -F. Law really fucked up.. Why is M. Law always in debt to something? -Yoshi has 2 swords to cram in stomach now..Jeez, I hated that move..
  • why do they make all these new bull shit characters, they never catch on. I wonder if alisa bosconovich is the drs daughter or maybe jackx love interest? i hope that bryan fury is in this, he rocks!
  • o and steve!!
  • Tekken 2 on the original playstation was ftw
  • Hworang or whatever his name was the best, he raped everyone, well that was tekken 3, my memory may be a bit dodgy like
  • #36/37 steve was a BS add-on character at one time too.
  • Looks pretty good. I'd be more enthused about it if I didn't suck at VS. games.
  • Looks good can't wait.
  • @ 35/36 I think Alisa is a robot made the same as Dr. B's grand daughter.
  • tekken is the best fighting game period im so glad they brang it 2 the 360
  • I have been waiting for this game for more than a year now. Tekken 5: Dark Ressurection was sweet but the tiny PSP screen didn't do it justice. I can't wait to go on live and dominate! At least if they have multiplayer achievements in this one I can get them legit. Now if only I can figure out how to get a Playstation controller to work on my Xbox...
  • Yes, Alisa is a robot made by Dr. B. After you play her a bit (or just watch anything about her lol) it becomes quite evident lol
  • Eddy = pure, distilled fromage. Hilarious when trying to coax rage out of your mates :) Can't wait for this. Tekken was all I used to play at one point many moons ago! Steve Fox all the way baby, always bet on British ;)
  • Finally Yoshimitsu
  • im gonna thrash the shit out of my pad with this game
  • Huge Tekken fan but I do share some of the worries other people have on this site. The control style being converted. . . .lets see how well I do with it. In general I find myself doing well on the 360. . . .not so much on a PS system as I've changed controller styles for DMC (I now cannot play DMC w/o the controller jutting into me) and SCIV. As far as the comment goes with the person who commented on "achievments" well yes. . .I would be concerned with achievments as well I completelly agree with #1 in that regards and I hope they keep em plain and simple just like SCIV's achievment list I have plenty of friend's buying the game so I know I'll be enjoying it not just online with strangers. . . I'd prefer to play like stated before with friend's and family =)
  • oh and Lars looks like a Badass mofo
