Lars Scenario Campaign Opening Cinematic 1

Lars as he appears in the Scenario Campaign opening cinematic.

Scenario Campaign is the Story Mode featured in Tekken 6. It was available only on the home console (PlayStation 3 & Xbox 360) versions of Tekken 6. Like the Tekken Force and Devil Within mini-games before it, it featured beat 'em up style gameplay. Unlike these previous modes however, Scenario Campaign was used to tell the canonical story of Tekken 6, and featured cinematic cutscenes throughout.

The protagonist of the story is Lars Alexandersson and his friend Alisa Bosconovitch. The story's principle antagonist is Jin Kazama, Lars and Alisa's former commander. Players can select any character after they have completed the mode once with Lars Alexandersson, and can choose one character aside from Alisa and Lars that can be unlocked at the outset. Lars's playthrough is the canonical story mode of the game, though the mode can be played with every character and each has unique dialogues at every stage.

The story of the mode is shown through dialogues that occur between the characters, usually one at the start of the stage, and one just before the boss fight, Alisa's journal entries which summarize what happened at the stage, and through extended CGI cutscenes.

Tekken 6 - The Story of the Mishimas

The Mishima Story

Scenario Campaign is prefaced by 'The Mishima Story', a nine-and-a-half minute recap of the Tekken story so far, delivered as a motion comic and narrated by Heihachi Mishima, Kazuya Mishima, Jin Kazama, and Lars Alexandersson. The recap then fades into the first cinematic introducing Scenario Campaign.

Summary[]

Main article: Lars Alexandersson/Scenario Campaign Dialogues

The story follows Lars Alexandersson who is the leader of a rebel cell that have defected from Tekken Force. After being concussed in an attack he led on the Mishima Zaibatsu, Lars has lost his memory. Lars journeys to remember himself whilst trying to fight the tyranny of Jin Kazama, his old boss, who has declared war on the world. Lars makes this journey with Alisa Bosconovitch, a Zaibatsu android who is equally confused about her place in the world, and the two try to understand themselves as well as stop Jin.

With the help of his old second-in-command, Tougou, and Raven who works for the UN, Lars recovers his memories, and confronts numerous adversaries, including his birth father, Heihachi Mishima, whom Lars now holds great contempt for. It is revealed that Jin wishes to defeat a great demon that can only be awakened when war and chaos engulf the world - a sacrifice Jin has deemed a necessary evil. Rather than fight Lars when he confronts him, Jin instead gives an order to Alisa, revealing that she has hidden programming, unknown to her, that has been allowing Jin to spy on Lars and his rebel activities.

After having to defeat his friend and companion, Alisa, Lars travels to a desert in the Middle East, where the demon, Azazel, has been awakened. He manages to defeat the demon, only for it to seemingly resurrect. Jin tells Lars that only a wielder of the devil gene can defeat Azazel and proceeds to sacrifice himself in order to destroy the demon.

Scenario Campaign Dialogues[]

Main article: category:Scenario Campaign Dialogues

Scenario Campaign features unique dialogues between every cast member of Tekken 6, with every character chosen having a slightly different motivation as they fight through the stages. Dialogues usually occur first at the start of the stage, and second just before the boss fight.

Journal Entries[]

Alisa's Journal

After each stage, a summary or observation of the canonical happenings at the stage is given. This is normally given by Alisa Bosconovitch, who accompanies Lars Alexandersson throughout the story. Alisa makes observations about their journey in a series of journals that come up as a title card after the player has completed each stage. After Alisa parts ways with Lars, these journals are subsequently replaced by Raven's journal entries, as he replaces Alisa as Lars's companion for the final stages of the game. All of the journal entries can be read on Lars's playthrough transcript or on the page of their respective stages.

It is possible, however, to see Alisa's journal entries for these last stages which can be accessed through the game menu, though they are not canonical to the story. These are unlocked after every stage in Scenario Campaign has been completed (including bonus stages) using Alisa.

Gameplay[]

800px-Asuka and Xiaoyu vs Roger - Scenario Campaign - T6 BR

Asuka and Xiaoyu encounter a trio of kangaroo enemies during an Online Co-op session.

The player can pick one character, while the second is picked automatically, the first one being player-controlled and the second one being computer-controlled.

The player starts out with Lars Alexandersson as the player-controlled character and Alisa Bosconovitch as a computer-controlled character who fights alongside Lars or any unlocked fighter. The boss of each stage is a different character, and after defeating them or their stage, they will be unlocked for the player to choose. The boss versions of characters are more powerful than their playable form.

In every stage, eggs, chicks and chickens must be picked up to increase health. Eggs increase a small amount, chicks increase a medium amount and chickens increase a large amount.

The player can pick up the following power up drinks to help strengthen themselves during the fight for one minute:

  • Rage drink - It is represented in a red bottle. Once picked up, the character will have red aura and the damage they do to the opponents will be stronger than usual, like in normal gameplay.
  • Invulnerability drink - It is represented in an orange bottle. Once picked up, the character's hands will glow red to show they have this power up for one minute. This gives the character the ability to be immune to any attack, which causes them to not lose health and get slowed down by any attacks.
  • Stun drink - It is represented in a yellow bottle. Once picked up, their hands glow yellow. Hitting any enemy with this power up will cause them to get stunned by yellow lightning.
  • Bound drink - It is represented in a pink bottle. Once picked up, their hands glow green. Hitting an opponent with any kind of attack, except throws, will put them into a bound state, making room for juggle combos.

In some parts of the stages, weapons like lead pipes, flame throwers and Gatling guns can be picked up and used.

The player can collect customization items dropped by defeated enemies which their character can then equip. These items can upgrade stats, such as health and defense, and can grant extra damage by way of elemental attacks such as fire and ice. These items can be very useful for some of the harder stages and bosses, and are only retained by beating the level the items were collected on. If the player fails a level, their items can still be retained so long as they continue to retry the level without exiting to the map.

Scenario Campaign can either be played single-player, co-op, or online co-op. With online co-op, only some of the stages can be played. Single-player or offline co-op must be chosen in order to go through the whole game. In online co-op, an online player can select a second character, unlike in single player, where the second character has the CPU as Alisa Bosconovitch.

Within this mode, traditional fighting is also available in the form of a sub-mode called Arena mode. Character prologues and endings are unlocked this way.

Stage Selection Map[]

Stages in Scenario Campaign are selectable from a map. This map has some optional routes for the order in which stages can be selected. Certain stages must be completed in order to advance the story and to access later parts of the map. The map only loosely correlates to the actual locations of the stages, as it features only two land masses, whilst the game's stages take place on a number of different continents.

Trivia[]

  • The events of Tekken 6 Scenario Campaign take place six months after Jin has declared war over the world. Zafina mentions that this was when Azazel's seal was broken,[1] and it is some months after Yggdrasil have defected (during the war) that they launch their first attack on the Mishima Zaibatsu.[2] The Journalist in Tekken 7 also confirms that only months have passed between the present day and the Hon-Maru attack at the start of Tekken 5.[3]
  • The scenario campaign is the biggest beat 'em up mode yet in the series, with over twenty-five stages, as well as some unlockable stages after beating the main story.
  • NANCY-MI847J can be selected as a playable character for one stage only: G Corporation, Millennium Tower.
  • The majority of the stages have an alien and/or a special flag in the background, but some do not.
  • This is the only mode in which Dragunov can be seen speaking (albeit, not that much).
  • Characters of the same affiliation (Jin, Eddy and Nina; Anna, Kazuya and Bruce; and Baek, Miguel and Hwoarang) will not have a dialogue with each other or in stages where soldiers affiliated with them are the final enemy.
  • Scenario campaign can be played 2-player, with players working collaboratively to clear stages.
  • Scenario campaign features unique dialogue between every single character on the Tekken 6 roster, a feature unseen in any other Tekken game.
  • The 'canonical' story of this game is Lars Alexandersson as player 1 and Alisa Bosconovitch as the AI/player 2.
  • When selecting characters other than Lars, the main character will show that they each have a slightly different motivation for taking the journey that Lars does through the stages. Devil Jin for example, seems only interested in destroying and eating people and is bored by having to speak with other characters, whilst Kazuya Mishima is instead gathering information on his enemies.
  • Scenario Campaign introduces the only mention of The Resistance, a civilian organization that exists to oppose Jin Kazama and the Mishima Zaibatsu. The Resistance shares the goal of Lars's Yggdrasil in this way, but at the time that Lars meets their leaders, he is amnesiac so ended up working against them. The Resistance leader is Hwoarang, aided by his master, Baek Doo San.
  • Every boss character will perform an unblockable move, which they don't use during regular gameplay, if their health is half or low. While two of these moves, a low roundhouse punch that sends the player flying and a high downward punch that sends the player to a bound state, don't seem to belong to any character, one of the used unblockable moves happens to be Lee Chaolan's Silver Cyclone move.
  • Whilst a map is displayed for the player to select different stage locations, this map only corresponds very loosely to accurate in-game locations. For example, the map does show all the stages that occur on the waterfront near the start of the game as next to a body of water, and the final few stages take place in a location on the map that is sandy. Beyond this however, there is little resemblance to the actual locations of stages, as the scenario campaign map features just two land masses adjacent to one another, whilst a number of stages are confirmed to have real-world locations such as in Japan, Egypt, the USA, etc.
  • In the PlayStation Portable version of Tekken 6, Scenario Campaign mode was removed due to the console limitations and replaced by regular story arcade mode.
