Tekken Ball
At one point people probably would have scoffed and laughed at the idea of volleyball and Tekken blending together to create a new mini game. Well, that’s exactly what happened in the third game’s Tekken Ball mode and it turned out to be a fan favorite. At first glance, Tekken Ball just seems like an intense game of volleyball that features characters from the classic fighter but it’s truly a lot more than that. This mode is still all about draining your opponent’s health bar, you just have to use a colorful ball to do it. There are three different types of balls available in this mode—the beach ball, the gum ball, and the iron ball. Each one respectively deals 60%, 80%, and 100% of the damage of the attack used to launch the ball at your opponent.
The only rule of actual volleyball that truly applies here is that you can’t cross the line into your opponents side of the playing field. Other than that, you’re essentially trying to launch the ball at your opponent and deal enough damage to eventually drain their entire health bar. It’s a surprisingly fun game mode that would make a welcome addition to Tekken 7.
