What if Konami acquired Capcom?/Tekken 6

Tekken 6 is a fighting game developed by Sega AM2 and published by Bandai Company. It is the sixth main and seventh overall installment in the Tekken franchise. It was released in arcades on November 26, 2007, running on the Xbox 360-based Sega Lindbergh arcade board. A year later, the game received an update, subtitled Bloodline Rebellion. A home version based on the update was released for the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and Windows on October 27, 2009. This was the first time a main installment was produced for another console. It was ported for the PlayStation Portable, iOS and Android on November 24, 2009. The game was produced by Katsuhiro Harada, who aimed to give the fights a strategic style while remaining faithful to the previous games in the series.

While this version retains elements from the earlier games, Tekken 6 introduces a new Rage system that increases the strength of the player characters when their health gets low. It also features a beat 'em up mode focused on a soldier named Lars Alexandersson who leads a coup d'état along with his underlings. Losing his memory in an attack against Jin Kazama's Mishima Zaibatsu special forces, Lars goes on a journey with UN Agent Raven, Jin's relative Asuka Kazama, fortune teller Zafina and a robot named Alisa Bosconovitch to learn his identity, so that he will be able to recover the subject of his mission. In this campaign mode, the player can win items by completing missions and enhance different power areas of any characters they choose to control.

The game received generally positive reviews. Critics praised the visuals and the new fight mechanics but had mixed opinions about the handling of the Scenario Campaign. Nevertheless, the handheld ports were also well-received for how faithful they were to the initial console versions. The game's sales have reached 3.5 million copies worldwide. It was later followed by the spin-off Tekken Tag Tournament 2. A sequel, Tekken 7, was released in 2015.

Gameplay
Tekken 6 features bigger stages with more interactivity than its predecessors, including walls or floors that can be broken to reveal new fighting areas, while bringing back the environment hazards from Tekken 4. The character customization feature has been enhanced, and certain items have implications in some aspects of the gameplay.

A new Rage system gives characters more damage per hit when their vitality is below a certain point. Once activated, a reddish energy aura appears around the character, and their health bar starts to flicker in red. The Rage aura can be customized with different colors and effects to appear like fire, electricity, and ice, among others. Another newly added gameplay feature is the "bound" system. Every character has several moves that when used in a juggle combo will cause the opponent to be smashed hard into the ground, bouncing them off it in a stunned state, leaving them vulnerable to another combo or an additional attack. As of the Bloodline Rebellion update, successfully parrying a low attack will also put a character into a bound state.

 * The first Tekken game in which all characters can speak either Japanese or English depending on the language settings selected in Options Mode.
 * The last Tekken game where Kuma and Panda share the same character slot.
 * The first and only game in the series where Roger Jr. and Alex, Mokujin and Combot, and Devil Jin and Angel share the same character slot.
 * The second game, after Tekken Tag Tournament, where characters are seen moving in the character select. When highlighted on the select screen they are in fighting stance, and when selected, they perform an intro or win animation. This does not occur in the handheld versions.
 * The first Tekken game to feature multi-tier stages, where characters transport to another area of a stage by destroying a structure of the starting area with a strong attack.
 * The second game, after Tekken 4, where characters can move freely at the beginning of a match, before the announcer has given the go-ahead to start fighting.
 * This is the first time that Asuka Kazama, Christie Monteiro, Forest Law, Lili de Rochefort and Sergei Dragunov are unlockable characters in the series.
