IPhone 6 plus, you'll "play" one match and uninstall, there is no buttons / controller here, just tap left side of the screen for random pre-configured combos, and don't forget to buy loot boxes for more chances of more pre-configured combo cards or fighters! might as well watch a YouTube video.
I wish, not so many F2P Gatcha ages those days.

When is this out?

I believe it. It's my biggest problem with mobile gaming.
As usual for Bamco.
The last Idolm@ster game for mobile (Theater Days) could be a Switch game, given its fantastic engine.

Tekken 6 looks and plays great on the Vita.
I'm surprised anyone would expect anything else out of this.

"Great" is selling it short. That shit ran on black magic on the PSP.

I'd have mentioned that too if not for the event...

Wants the largest console games publisher to avoid Nintendo's platforms.
It looks like a direct port of a ps3 tekken.

I played the card game before this and it didn't keep my interest for very long. Even Soul Calibur is out on iOS. I don't see why we couldn't have gotten a full release or even a port of Tekken 3 for iOS.
I own most of SNK's fighters, SF2, MVC2 (no longer listed, but still plays 32-bit title), and even though movements made with my thumbs are maybe 40% accurate to what I actually want to pull off. I still think they could have made this game a full fledge Tekken.
Granted I'm going by early impressions here that say this is just pre made combos and moves.
I didn't mind Contest of Champions or Injustice, but I wish they'd just give you the option to fight with the console/arcade controls. Using SP buttons isn't bad if you can change the options to have every single button on your phone/tablet.

Last time I checked, it was sprite based. Is still the case after the update?
Eh, characters look low poly to me. But maybe I'm misremembering.

Is there any decent fighter on iOS? sometimes I play Samsho 2 on my commute but I admit that port is not that good either.

Dang, it bums me out hearing that this is just a "tap the screen and get loot boxes" type of deal.
As for people asking "what did you expect?" ...please see Soul Calibur mobile, KoF13 mobile, or the SF4 mobile games. They all feature traditional fighting gameplay. Sure, they might have simplified controls and gimped graphics, but they prove that fighters can be ported to mobile. Soul Calibur's an especially good example, being a 3D Namco fighter with four buttons.
Really disappointed by this.
Edit: the post above me lists several more examples. Tekken has no excuse!

The only magic was worst than PS2's Tekken 5 assets and a smaller screen and res to hide them.

I find it funny that people are rushing to say it doesn't look as good as a Switch game when this game is probably being rendered at a resolution larger than most Switch games have while on portable mode.

Nah, I'll just reply with this thing called the DS4 which connects to my phone just fine.
That's not a given. Most 3D mobile games render a sub-native res.

Please tell me this isn't another shitty fucking Injustice clone. SFIV, SFxT, and KoFXIII all work great on phones and are way more fun than that trash. Especially IJ2.
It looks like a 2D fighter. So this clearly isn't "a game like Tekken".
I'm more surprised they put Asuka in the game without using Lili to destroy any semblance of character Asuka still has. The fact that used the old Aikido outfit is even more surprising because you can't sell that for a Yuri cashcow.
Oh, so it's worse than an Injustice clone? That's great.

Injustice 2 runs at native res, as far as I could see. Sometimes it drops frames, but it's rare, and the game has incredibly detailed backgrounds and lightning.
Certainly you didn't expect a traditional Tekken experience out of a game releasing on platforms that only have touch as a native control input device?
C'mon. Everyone should have known from the jump it would be exceptionally simple.

SFIV Champion Edition, SFxT, SFII, and any KoF port (especially XIII) are all great. They are the full games just adapted to mobile controls in a way that actually feels good.
SoulCalibur is alright. If you don't/can't play the console games at a semi-competitive level, you won't realize much wrong with this mobile port, but if you do use more intricate controls in the full game, know that it's hard to get many inputs without a controller.
Game certainly didn't look native res to me
That would depend on your phone, I guess.

I didn't expect a Tekken 7 perfect port, but I DID expect a fighting game, am I at fault for expecting a fighting game? for expecting buttons and controlling my character instead of "press this side of the screen and let's see what comes out"
How dare I !!!!!!!!

This is such a silly, dated thought. Several fighting games have been released on mobile with their original control schemes, especially 4-button fighters.
Yes, you would never be able to play it as well as you play at home on your pad or arcade stick (especially with Tekken's emphasis on movement), but a mobile Tekken with 4 touch buttons is absolutely possible. They just chose to not do it.
It also doesn't excuse having the original control set for anyone that has any one of the Myriad Bluetooth controllers. I was worried since I didn't see anyone moving in 3d space -dashing or evading- that this might be the case.

Yeah, that was a dead giveaway :/ even before reading impressions from the Canadian store.
