bound (B!) is a new gameplay system introduced in tekken 6. it is upgrading the old juggle combo system and can be used to make combos even more damaging.
how does it work?
each character in t6 has some moves that can cause B! during a juggle combo. these moves basically knock the opponent on the ground where he is bouncing back up enabling the player to continue the combo for more damage. the most effective way is to use those moves near the end of a combo for maximum damage.
NOTE: you will only get B! once per juggle combo. if you manage to use a B!-move again it will just cause a knockdown like in previous tekken games. B! can also happen from moves outside of juggle combos and even after CH (they work just like juggle launchers then, so you can go for a combo afterwards).
can every character use it?
yes. no exception so far.
what is happening after a floor break during B!-combos?
often (always?) a floor break will occur while a B!-move is hitting the opponent (in stages where a floor break is possible). if you are fast enough you can continue the combo in the new part of the stage without problems.
the following scenario as an example is possible: combo, bound, wall push, slam down wall combo, floor break, bounce wall combo.
how many B!-moves does each character have?
it depends on the character. usually each character has about 4 B!-moves.
why the term bound?
because the opponent is "bound" to get fucked up, as MYK so accurately put it.
aren't bound combos unfair?
the damage after B! has been toned down so that you won't see full life B!-combos. however, some B!-combos can leave you in a good oki position for even more damage.
what are all the char's B!-moves?
