It's difficult to evaluate without having to play the game, and it's still in its  alpha development stage. I'm mixed about the new "Rage Arts". They look visually eye-popping, but they could just be a "Get Out Jail Free Card" for beginner players and seem out of place for a three-dimensional fighting game. I'm glad bound isn't in this game, but apparently many people like bound and are saddened by its omission in Tekken 7. I don't know, I always thought they lead to some annoying juggles. I'm not fond of the new characters, Katarina looks generic and Claudio seemed to be ripped out of a concept art for an excluded character from Final Fantasy XIII. What irks me the most is that they're rehashing the same character designs from previous installments. This is just evident of the lack of inspiration and creativity in Tekken 7, why can't they just alter their iconic attire and costumes like they did in Tekken 4 (which had the best character desigins in the series in my opinion)?

If can I can briefly summerize my impressions on Tekken 7, it's that it's underwhelming but not bad. For now, I'm more looking forward to Mortal Kombat X. Not only does are they altering the character's iconic appearance, but it's actually striving to make logical changes to overhaul the traditional gameplay formula. Whereas Tekken 7 is playing it safe and seems to be desperately drawing in a casual audience.

sounds awful

But the characters didn't seem to get the same amount of upgrade. They did change some of the faces and they added real time dynamic cloth physics now so they fold and wrinkle in real time now instead of being just textures.

Rage arts can be blocked but unfortunately cannot be cancelled. So far it looks to be very early stages into development. Harada said there will be close to mid-30s characters to choose from.

Gameplay will surely change in the final version, as with graphics. Remember Tekken 6? The first version of that game was FAR from what the final game became. Many things were nerfed, removed and changed and the graphics were also improved in the console version.

I haven't played vanilla Tekken 6 for the arcade, but I hear it was almost broken beyond redemption. 

Much better. Will use this version in OP

Has that been confirmed? 0:16 and 1:14 on the further screen gave me a different impression.

Yes, Bounds are now gone. The gameplay is more similar to Tekken Revolution now. Bounds happen while you are juggling an opponent or while you are executing a wall combo, while juggling( or doing a wall combo), you execute a downward smash to smash your opponent on the ground and make him bounce. Bound moves no longer make characters bounce in these Tk7 footages(all of 'em available so far).

Bob (real Bob) better be in this game. He was one of the most popular characters for 6 and Tag2.
