Tekken 6 is the newest in the long line of Tekken games, and has a final released date of October 29th 2009 for home console systems. Despite only being released now, it has been available in the Japanese arcades since November 26, 2007, so the game has had a thorough testing by its biggest critics. NAMCO will obviously make certain tweaks and changes to the game and respond to the suggestions of gamers and games testers that have extensively played the arcade version, but it will remain the same game in most areas.

The final Tekken 6 boss is one of the 8 new characters, but is one of the 2 unplayable characters in the game. His name is Azazel, and he is brand new to the series. This was allegedly formed after Jin Kazama and Kazuya Mishima (Jin’s dad) fought (named ‘the two evils’). If you haven’t seen Azazel yet, you’ll be blown away when you reach him in the game. One thing that the Tekken series can’t be criticised for is poor character design, as Azazel is simply stunning. He’s basically a giant silver dragon the dwarfs everything else in the screen. He uses his large, spike encrusted tail for striking his opponents, as well as his teeth for special attacks.

This Tekken 6 boss has lots of Egyptian influences, as he is said to be based on an Egyptian God, as well as wearing a an ancient looking necklace. He can be compared to the ‘Devil’ character of Tekken 2, which Kazuya Mishima transforms into. He is a worthy final boss, and like Devil, he has the power of laser eyes and the power to summon monsters to help him.
