Ready to set the standard for fighting games with stunning realism and uncompromising quality, Tekken 6 promises to deliver a pulse-pounding edge-of-your-seat experience with bone jarring punches and gut wrenching grapples.

A must-have for Tekken aficionados, Tekken 6 sees the return of many familiar faces as well as new characters to create the largest line-up the series has ever seen. With a growing roster of fighters, each equipped with their own deadly techniques, moves and attack combinations, Tekken 6 will be the best King of Iron Fist Tournament yet. Adding to the already rich gaming experience, a deeper character customization feature will only further enhance the incredible fighting intensity as players go mano-y-mano. Players can also take the battle online for classic match-ups and to compete for world domination.

To further enhance player’s online gameplay experience, the new update will be available on Nov. 26, 2009 and include:

• Improve input response - Improve game's responsiveness to button/command inputs.
• Selectable search priorities for ranked matches - Players will be able to set search priorities for opponents in ranked matches based on comparable rank or connection speed quality as well as area.
• Optimize data transmission between fighters and spectators – The fight data will be optimized in order to reduce the bandwidth load on the host’s console.  
• Signal strength bars – The update will improve the signal strength bar to reflect connection quality more accurately.
• Chance to cancel match - The update will allow players to cancel the match before it begins after displaying the opponents signal strength.

This update is separate from the online co-op Scenario Campaign mode download which is scheduled for this winter.
