Stage

From Wavu Wiki, the 🌊 wavy Tekken wiki

A stage is the location of a fight and can differ in the size and shape of the wall and whether there are any stage breaks.

In tournaments, the typical rules are that the first match is on a random stage, and every match after that the loser chooses; the loser may instead opt to change character, which leads to another random stage being chosen.

Some types of stages that players choose from are:

  • Infinite stages (stages without walls), which create a slower paced and more controlled game, and can benefit characters that are more defensive or that have weaker wall pressure.
  • Octagon stages, which can enable more resplats and tech traps.
  • Large stages, which can benefit characters with stronger wall carry.
  • Small stages, which can benefit characters with stronger wall pressure or weaker wall carry.
  • Stages with misaligned starting positions, such as Souq, which can enable some tech traps.
  • Stages with dodgy walls, which can enable some tech traps.

Some uniquely notable stages that are often picked are:

  • Forgotten Realms, which has multiple stage-wide floor breaks.
  • Howard Estate, which has multiple, consecutive, breakable walls.
  • Jungle Outpost, which is the smallest stage with a balcony break.
