It also depends on what you'd want out of single player. People want single player content but what kind do you usually prefer? What in single player do you usually play in a Tekken game?

Is there an option to turn off the character customization when battling online? It's distracting to me after watching some of the Tekken 7 tournaments on Youtube.

Well congratulations! You got yourself caught!
No, no one repping the Chang/Wang style. Although one of the Changs may return as part of the free DLC.

Shame, Julia/Michelle were so much fun to play in the PS1 days. One of the first and only characters I actively memorized the 10-hit combo for.

That's pretty stupid considering they have pre-order bonuses :/

I thought it was happening on the 2nd?

That is launch day.

Also not really, you don't have to get the Season Pass now. You can wait on that or get the game once you watch the Tekken Talk. Eliza will be available later on, she's just free for preorders.

It's hard to believe the last mainline tekken came out almost 8 years ago, the nostalgia is hitting me hard and I can't wait for friday.

Getting the game once you watch the tekken talk means you missed out on Eliza bonus.

I'm just going to get the base version now then.

I hate how people make the absolute worst out of the customization in Tekken.

Why do they all have shit taste seriously ?

Isn't one cool appeal is trying to make badass characters ?

:/

I know I'm gonna have cool looking characters, not trying to look goody with giant scissor in my back, pink hair, and flip flaps.
Yuck.

Some people have said, and to a point I agree, it's a battle tactic. You make your character look absolutely ridiculous to make the opponent drop their guard.

Has there been any word on story mode content since a few days ago? Last I heard someone was able to rush through the mode in around an hour, and it was also mentioned that side stories only consisted of one battle. Has the latter been debunked?

It's not particularly a make or break for me, but I'd consider waiting for a price drop if the story content isn't there.

It's 2 and a half hours on average.


The side character content takes about approximately an hour more or less. Unfortunately, the one battle system is very true.


All of these are already circulating in YouTube btw, so watch out for that in terms of spoilers.

It's not like everyone does this. Most people will have normal customizations. Gotta deal with those that dont tho.

Do you guys know if Tekken 7 has combo / trials ?

So that you can learn some stuff in the actual game ?

Sadly the only ones that somehow have decent clothing taste decide to give horrendous special effects and aura.

Good Customs are the minority !

Thanks. This is pretty handy. Will legacy controllers work with Tekken 7?

Yes licensed PS3 sticks will work only on PS4.

Thanks for that :)
I just can't decide on the platform yet. I have an Xbox One and 360 fight stick so I should really be fine on PC`or Xbox I think, but the community on PS4 will be the biggest I think, no?

Yep PS4 will have the biggest community.

TBH this video was unhelpful. I was expecting to have some explanation of game mechanics... characters, basic strats but instead it was just a video full of recommendation of other videos/channels to watch. This whole thing would have been better as a bulk list of links.

A lot of more guides are coming out in a few days when the game drops. Namco will also have video guides for each character made by TheMainManSWE for newcomers.

Thanks! Everything about Tekken 7 looks great, especially the story content, so it's a shame to hear that there isn't that much of it. I'll continue mulling over my pre-order.

I forgot to ask, but does arcade mode have character specific endings as usual?

Yuck.

Ya know, making a goofy/silly/funny character is appealing too.

Kinda crazy how many people catch feelings over customs, really solidifies it being a useful battle tactic.
 
Hmm... buying my copy today, bailing on the deluxe edition. Need more details than what they gave, and maybe some dang screenshots of the stuff thats there day one like the metallic costumes.

Maybe will do the season pass on a sale / convincing footage.

Good choice, there's a tekken talk happening on launch so they might talk about that.

As far as I know, there are no character endings. Just the unique cutscenes you get with the side story stuff.

Nah... I've seen more great customs in TTT2 than obnoxious ones. Or maybe I just don't really care about the ugly ones.


Tekken 7 |OT| Akuma isn't a Kuma, but Anna is Gon
Tekken 7 |OT| Anna is Gon. She won't come Baek

You can replace Anna with Wang, Zafina or Ganryu if you want :p

So wait, first people were saying there no character endings, then it was said that was debunked and that the does have CG endings, and now we are sure that we are getting just the cutscenes during the side stories?

The entire story is up on Youtube if anyone is interested.

Looks like
----------- Devil Kazuya ----------
could be a potential DLC character.
---- He ----
has a
unique rage art and a couple of new moves
and everything. Looks awesome btw.

Outside of Shaheen, Claudio and Master Raven I feel the new characters at least appear to be the worst designed the franchise has had. Of course it's also the first Tekken with most introduced new characters so you're bound get a few misses, a lot in this case. I mean the less said about Chloe the better, Gigas and Josie are boring/uninspired and Katarina... Smh, very tacky posture and character design, doesn't exude sexy at all. Capcom did better with that type of character trope in Laura.

You can look em up on YouTube.

It's really just in-game cutscenes.

Leave my Josie alone. She's great. But yeah I agree somewhat that Josie looks bland per se. Although, her clothing does feel inspired and it's beautiful but where the hell did that head gear come from, and I really dislike them making her a crybaby. Filipinos are very emotional but they also have a never-give-up attitude which doesn't come across in her portrayal.

You can look em up on YouTube.

I see. Well I take what I can get hehe. Won't look it up, waiting for the release.

Wait, you mean they DO have character arcade endings right ? Just with ingame engine ?

I'm OK with that.

Not at the end of arcade. They have these little single fights with ending scenes that you unlock by playing through the main story mode. Character Episodes, I believe they're called.

Honestly, almost every new character added to Tekken 7 is s big miss or a weird question mark. Did something happen over at Namco that could have caused this? Tekken 5 and 6 and Tag 2 introduced a lot of great designs and play styles. Tekken 7 just has these bland question marks.

Well that's rather disappointing.

What do you get for beating arcade ?

Looking forward to the endings was a huge incentive for me. =(
