I'm going to try Hwoarang for the first time. Because he looks so badass with black hair :] I was mostly Ling/Wang/Panda in T6 (I didn't play TTT2, I don't like the TTT games for some reason), this time I'm looking at Hwoarang/Ling/Panda/Shaheen. I love the feeling of trying many characters early in a fighting game's life cycle

 

[Creaking]

So I guess no more surprises for the playable cast that comes with the base game? As in, what we have now is final?

Seems likely. I'm kinda surprised to be honest. Think it's a bit stupid of them not to save any reveals for the last month.

 

[Pachimari]

I agree. I would have saved a Lei Wulong reveal for the week before release. Just to get the hype up right before launch.

 

[AllGamer]

Yeah. Still can't believe Lei isn't in the game yet

 

[NEO0MJ]

Yeah. Still can't believe Lei isn't in the game yet

I think this is the first time he's skipping a release, right?

 

[Hooks]

Pretty hyped for this, I desperately need to scratch this Tekken itch

 

[Creaking]

I think this is the first time he's skipping a release, right?

Besides Tekken Revolution and Tekken Advance, yeah.

 

[sixteen-bit]

Will they release a benchmark tool btw?

 

[NEO0MJ]

Will they release a benchmark tool btw?

How many devs even bother with that? Just return it if performance isn't up to par.

 

[Tizoc]

Where is lei wulong?
Harada pls

 

[The Artisan]

Besides Tekken Revolution and Tekken Advance, yeah.

I don't count those as major installments

The only tekken games I consider main installments are those that came out in arcade first, and neither of those games did

 

[Dereck]

Where is lei wulong?

In the trash

 

[RelentlessRolento]

I don't count those as major installments

The pachinko game was def a major installment.

/really bad sarcasm

 

[Celcius]

That would be awesome, more devs should follow SE's FFXIV example in that regard.

 

[Doomshine]

Seems likely. I'm kinda surprised to be honest. Think it's a bit stupid of them not to save any reveals for the last month.

There is a Tekken talk on May 30th. I'm not expecting anything, but I also I don't know what they could show just before release that we haven't seen already.

that's literally 3 days before the game comes out

 

[Monocle]

I see. While I wasn't expecting Ogre and Jinpachi to come back from TTT2, I'm disappointed by the lack of Jaycee/Julia and Armor King.

Oh god, I hope so. My #1 most wanted addition at the moment.

 

[Pachimari]

that's literally 3 days before the game comes out

Whoa, you don't say.

 

[jon bones]

anyone looking for a ps4/pc arcade stick?

upgraded my hori hrap to 6 sanwa buttons but i never use it

 

[Hutchie]

No steel box for deluxe version? If not find a bit odd.

 

[SarusGray]

RIP Julia

Have no idea, but I hope it comes with the standard edition box.

 

[Nyx]

I mained Kunimitsu in the last Tekken game (TTT2) I played intensively, so I need to find a new one in this game. Looking forward to trying out the new characters!

 

[Doomshine]

From what I can tell it's only in the collector's edition. There seems to be a bunch of different versions than come with all kinds of stuff (tiger patch, pins e.t.c.). The only thing I could find in my country for the standard and deluxe edition was this Kazumi metal slipcase:

Try checking here and see what's available: http://eu.tekken.com/#!/en/order

 

[Pachimari]

Oh, I see in my country I'm supposed to be getting a metal Yoshimitsu keyring. Meh, not interested. I actually think I should have gotten it when I pre-ordered.

 

[MikeBreezy92]

Besides Tekken Revolution and Tekken Advance, yeah.

Foreshadowing

 

[Creaking]

Foreshadowing

I mean, Yoshimitsu wasn't in Tekken Rev either. Jaycee, Armor King, Jun and Kunimitsu were though.

 

[MikeBreezy92]

I mean, Yoshimitsu wasn't in Tekken Rev either. Jaycee, Armor King, Jun and Kunimitsu were though.

Huh even more foreshadowing.

 

[sasuke_91]

Huh even more foreshadowing.

Tekken 7 will get the first DLC that removes content. It will be for free though.

 

[Creaking]

Huh even more foreshadowing.

Tekken 7 will get the first DLC that removes content. It will be for free though.

I'd pay for DLC that removes Lucky Chloe.

Kidding

Spoiler

...maybe.

 

[Massaki]

I'm a little upset that the stages are kinda really bland, Kinder Gym and Geometric Plane are probably the laziest looking fighting game stages I've ever seen. We're missing a lot of the archetype Tekken stages like the "Tokyo Street at night" "creepy dark church" and stuff

 

[The Artisan]

akuma can't sidestep?

 

[Rajang]

akuma can't sidestep?

What? Of course he can. Every character can sidestep/sidewalk.

 

[ZeroX03]

Okay had some hands on with the game today... not great news for base PS4 owners.

First though: PC looks incredible and does 4k well. Last time I saw the Pro version it looked good and 1080p(+) too.

On base PS4 it's rough. The reduced res is noticeable. Shimmering, jaggies, soft image. T7.0 on arcade had a sharper, cleaner image. Injustice 2 is looking a lot better.

Load times are 12-15 seconds from character select to match start. Rematch is 3-4 seconds. Pretty good.

just making sure

lol that would be the ultimate nerf

awesome, my PC is ready

 

[Pachimari]

I'm not worried about visuals or the technical side looking worse. I'm all about getting into the mechanics and the depth of the gameplay this time. I'm gonna have hundred of fun and frustrating hours learning and practicing everything.

Although I'll probably buy the PC version too just for practicing in front of the computer so I can write down and communicate and such.

 

[The Artisan]

he's already got something no one else has

 

[BakedTanooki]

Man, I want to know the Pro details so bad.

 

[Gipsy Danger]

For the most part I'm not too fussed about what the game looks like on base PS4. Whatever it takes to get that 60fps.Although I might double dip on PC at some point anyway.

he's already got something no one else has

Are you referring to the fireball? It's not like it's that much of a gamechanger. He also has FADC and a DP but game seems pretty well balanced around it.

 

[cordy]

Tbh, that's the only base PS4 negative talk I've heard from people who have played the game. I'm interested in seeing exactly how this thing looks so I can make my own assessment. With that said, I'm thinking of getting a Pro soon but I don't have the right TV yet. Maybe I'll pick one up for my birthday in June.

But regardless I'm going to be in this game for hundreds of hours. Can't wait.

 

[The Artisan]

his meter.

 

[lucebuce12]

his meter.

Eliza has meter, a DP,a fireball and an FADC

 

[Gipsy Danger]

his meter.

Doesn't really matter who has what as long as the game is balanced around it. If they removed his ability to sidestep he'd basically be a joke character.

 

[The Artisan]

Eliza has meter, a DP,a fireball and an FADC

she got a meter too?

what if they hadn't added his meter?

 

[B00TE]

Soooooon.

Gonna double dip down the line, gonna have to settle with OG PS4 for a time though.

 

[AAK]

Are you referring to the fireball? It's not like it's that much of a gamechanger. He also has FADC and a DP but game seems pretty well balanced around it.

Akuma and Eliza get jump arcs that lead into extremely favorable jumping normals that crush most mids and highs the regular tekken characters have. It's really hard to anti-air them.

However, I think FADC kinda is a gamechanger. (i.e. in a real match)

 

[ZeroX03]

Any frame drop on OG

Not that I saw, it's fine.
