Stage breaks are stage-unique interactions that allow for extended combos.
Types of breaks
There are currently 8 types of stage breaks:
- Wall Break
- Hard Wall Break
- Wall Blast
- Wall Bound
- Balcony Break
- Floor Break
- Hard Floor Break
- Floor Blast
Wall and balcony breaks
Both are initiated by:
- Moves that wallsplat against a breakable wall and balcony, but they will not break a wall if they hit opponent already on a wall.
- Wall break and wall bounce moves will break a wall when opponent is on the wall, but not standing opponent.
- Tailspin moves will do both in Tekken 7. (Tornado moves in Tekken 8 will not break a wall)
Floor breaks
Floor breaks are initiated either by using a spiking move on an airborne opponent, a move that slams the opponent, or by using a move that floor breaks outright (such as Heihachi's 2+4 throw).
Hard Floor Breaks
Hard floor breaks work much like regular floor breaks. However the first time a spiking move hits an airborne player, the floor will not break. Instead it will shift to a state where the next spiking hit will break the floor. The two hits do not have to be performed by the same player.

Combos
Upon a break, damage to each move in the combo is scaled 10% down in addition to airborne combo scaling.
