Yes, we're saying the same thing.  Tekken 6 wasn't a good game, because it was on the PS3, yet somehow, only slightly better than Tekken 5.  Tekken 7 should have been the best game, and it is.  However, Street Fighter V, is inferior to SFIV, in everything except graphics.  I get what you're saying because that was the point I was trying to make.

But, those games were even more liked by people because they came off the heals of bad games in the series.  Tekken 2 was clunky, stiff, and had no damage scaling (or was that T1)  Tekken 1, I know had no damage scaling, but Tekken 3 definitely had damage scaling.  And, again, people didn't like tekken 4, Tekken 5 did a lot of things right, though.

But, who's really going to play those games over tekken 7?  TTT1, or TTT2, I can understand, but, the others.. meh, I don't know.  I mean, I'm saying all of this, and I own tekken 1-7 and TTT1, 2.

So, what are people thoughts on the new characters? (minus Jack-7 obviously).

Shaheen - Nice design but simplistic combat to me.
Lucky Chloe - Unique design and great fun to play, very technical if trying to perform rhythm based moves.
Claudio - Kind of dull honestly, didn't enjoy what I practiced of him, others might disagree.
Josie - Not really had a decent go, nice character and decent fighting style but not sure she stands out.
Katarina - My favourite of the lot, similar style between Lee and Hworang which I can get behind, will play her more.
Gigas - Marduk replacement right? (is Marduk?)
Akuma - God playing SF style in Tekken was hard and unexpected. But the cheese Rage Art will get old.
Kazumi - Quite fun but not sure I'll play her much.
Master Raven - is Raven so not new. :P

Your thoughts?

Katarina is cool, story mode made me hate Kazumi, so, I refuse to pick her.  I hate lucky chole, and Raven and Akuma are cool.  All the rest, I don't like.

I am maining:

Yoshimitsu, Feng Wei, Lili, Leo, Law, and maybe Heihachi, or Paul.

But, I hate lucky chloe so much, I will be training with her a lot.  I will become good with her so I know how to fight her, but i will never, EVER pick her outside of training.. I hate her that much, I swear I will never lose to her.

You're missing some nice touches with her. When she dances you can make her count to 6. When you reject a throw, she does a little dance.

Plus she's fun, and isn't that what Tekken is about? Fun. Else you'll be as bad as those Twitter moaners moaning about her not being a manly man while a fighting Panda exists in the game.

Also, anyone else notice Leo's story refers to Leo as 'he' and 'his'? But Leo is a girl. Harada keeping with his 'what gender are they' thing, even now.

I have not touched any of the new characters as of yet. Still mastering my style with Paul, Bryan and Law right now. Once I get them down and feel all the way comfortable with them I will move on to my next 3 which are Dragunov, Steve and Miguel......and they might take a while lol. And even still after them I have Lili and Asuka. So it will be a NICE while before I even try out the new characters smh. But I will get to them and just from looking the 3 I will more than likely pick up are Shaheen, Claudio, Master Raven and Katarina.

Trying my hand a bit more at Lucky Chloe, her Rage Art is one that's easy to combo, I mostly use Lee's a counter. She has some nice combos and well, as said before is fun.

Has anyone had a proper look at the character customisation stuff? It's lacking in comparison to 6 but better than Tag 2. 6 was great, I made some outfits for people that made them more badass but in this... well let just say lack of a tux for Lee is sad.

I honestly feel it is lacking. Maybe I just need to unlock more stuff in treasure and tournament battles but for me they are lacking. Though I must say I have found some pretty nice things for my current main 3 of Paul, Bryan and Law.

So, how is the story mode? How long does it take to beat?

You'll be Tekken it back soon.

If you don't skip anything I think I spent around 2 hours on Heiachi.  If you just skip to the battles you're looking at about half an hour.
