I do find it odd with certain games like this. The elite players, the ones that got good are for some reason able to get the game early. Yes it's been in arcades in Japan a while but there are American and British players who play it, how?

I mean take Evo, Tekken was there last year. There was a tournament, yet surely the only people able to play it are those who have played it so what? people in Japan arcades right? That's not the case. What about European pros?

... not sure where I'm going with this but more along the lines of why do some people get the game early just because they are currently 'pro', in a way it means the pros stay pros. While Joe Bloggs has to wait until the game is released to get the privilege of seeing how good they are at it. I have the same issue with streamers and other games too.

Also, Pros should play team battle picking 4 characters, 1v1 where they only pick their best seems like fixing things. There should be bans and everything. Maybe I could beat good Tekken guys at a character but not their best.


Rant over.

 

Yes, yes  abit of jealousy.

A few events, such as wizard world, have had the arcade version in the US.  There was some sort of convention, with Tekken 7 (vanilla) and Jason David Frank, and others... My friends went, didn't say a word to me about it until 2 weeks after, because, "you had to work."  Which, I did, but they didn't know my schedule, so they could have asked...

I just pre-ordered my copy ... almost $70 with shipping but Tekken was the first game I bought on the PS1 and I've loved it ever since. Still not sure about the DLC model they are going to do with this title though.

Tekken Federation has shut down.  Tekken 5: Dark Resurrection Online, is now offline only, and Tekken: Revolution has also shut down.  The DLC is to support the game's online features and development post launch.  So that there aren't any hiccups a year from now.

Alright guys. What is your main character?

Mine is Lee. Back in the day on 2 to 5 I was good with him but the changes they made in 6 to his fighting style put me over the edge. I'm hoping he's still just as Excellent as ever.

My main characters are (obviously) Feng Wei, Leo, and Yoshimitsu.  However, I do use Lili to a lesser extent.  I've nearly dropped her because she's really not that great of a fighter.

However, I'm considering dropping Feng Wei, since I've been using him every other game, and pick up some new characters, like Nina, maybe Xiaoyu.  Maybe even Master Raven.

Eddy tho... xD

Button mashing character are not allowed.

I actually really like how they have developed Heihachi's fighting style of the years, while Kazuya has kept the Mishima Karate style from like 2, Heihachi's has changed really well making them very different characters.

Eddy has been dramatically nerfed.  Some of his strings, eventhough they hit, will not combo if the opponent suddenly decides to start blocking.  Lots of things he used to be able to get away with, he'll start getting punished heavily for.  Making him strictly a beginner-only character.  His tricks wont work on someone who knows how to play.  And all the BS he used to have is thrown out the window.

That being said, it was never the button mashers that were the problem.  It was those Eddy players that knew he was BS and took him to the next level.

Because of how the character moved, it was difficult to punish.  Even when you knew the stuff he was doing was unsafe.  Now, there's so much stun when you block some of Eddy's kicks, he goes into an obvious stagger state, which is launch punishable.  Combos for days.
