What makes a game, a game?
Definition of a game
"A game is a rule based system with a variable and quantifiable outcome, where different outcomes, are assigned different values, the player exerts effort in order to influence the outcome, the player feels emotionally attached to the outcome, and the consequences of the activity are negotiable."
- Jesper Juul
Tekken
Rule Based System
In tekken the rule based system is simple. The objective of the game is to K.O. your opponent by getting their health bar to 0 by utilising your fighting skills e.g punching + kicking. Furthermore, Tekken has a round based system where there can be up to 6 rounds in a game. The first to win 3 rounds (K.O your opponent 3 times wins).
Possible outcomes
There are multiple possible outcomes in a Tekken round depending on what happens during that round, if one fighter takes the other fighters health down all the way to 0 without losing any of their own health this is called a perfect. Also there are the two obvious outcomes of win and lose. There can also be a draw round if both fighters health hit 0 at the same time however this is quite rare.
Effort
The user can exert effort in many ways in Tekken. The most basic way is using combos to hit their opponent, so instead of just punching and kicking the user can learn a combination of many punches and kicks to pull of a combo which is more effective than just punching and kicking normally. Also the user can dodge and block incoming attacks from their opponent if they time it right. Moreover users can 'juggle' their opponent in the air which means hitting the enemy fighter in the air without letting them touch the ground.
Emotions
Users can feel many emotions when playing Tekken. From fun to pure rage when they lose a match that they were so close to winning. Tension also when certain fighters come up against each other who are rivals or have fallen out in the storyline. Joy when the player gets a perfect on all 3 rounds of the fight.
Consequences
To win bragging rights, become world champion, win money, win sponsorships, get the best character gear, wager matches
