FAQ Update – August 30, 2009
Hello everyone,
Back in July, Tekkenomics was contacted by Stephen Ng of IGN to create an IGN-exclusive FAQ for the console version of Tekken 6. It was agreed that we will write a complete and detailed move list for each fighter, similar to the Tekken 5 Move Lists available here on the Tekkenomics Blog.
The initial draft of the Tekken 6 move lists will be ready within 2 weeks of the U.S. console release of Tekken 6 on October 27, 2009. The other five FAQs that were previously mentioned won’t see an initial release until sometime after these move lists have been completed, but they will be available on the usual FAQ websites (GameFAQs, IGN, etc.).
The release dates for our Tekken 6 FAQs have not yet been determined, but they will most likely be released in the following order:

Tekkenomics Vault: Tekken 5 Demo
- Originally written: February 15, 2005
- Revised: June 09, 2006
- My Comments: When “Nina: Death By Degrees” was released for the PS2 back in 2005, it came with a small demo of Tekken 5. When I first picked the game up, I was actually more interested in the demo than the game :). The demo turned out to be a bit disappointing because only one player could play at a time. If you’ve never played “Nina: Death By Degrees”, you can think of it as a more robust version of Tekken 5’s “Tekken: Devil Within” mode. This article talks about what was included in the demo.
Tekkenomics Vault: Tekken 5 – OPM Info
- Originally written: January 27, 2005

- My Comments: I had a subscription to the Official PlayStation Magazine (OPM) and they had an article about the PS2 version of Tekken 5 in issue 89. This is about that article.
Tekkenomics Vault: Tekken 5 Regional Qualifier
- Originally written: January 25, 2005
- Revised: June 09, 2006
- My Comments: Back in January 2005, I participated in a Regional Qualifier tournament for a chance to move on to the next round of the Tekken 5 National tournament that was being held. I ended up winning my first match, but lost to the two people that battle in the final round of this Qualifier tournament (one of them being SAB of Tekken Zaibatsu).
