I wouldn't worry about it at all.
And moreover, it won't be clashing with Injustice 2 release on PC like it's doing on consoles.

I've only ever needed notations for MK and Tekken.
Still, I don't think I've ever seen anyone use "236" over "qcf" in Street Fighter. That's completely dumb.

Number notation is for anime fighters. Nothing wrong with it because it makes lots of sense, but acting like it's used homogeneously among all fgs isn't true.
Can't stand number notation. Makes no sense without a number pad right in front of you. And for what? Saving a character when notating diagonals?
Also, no matter what side you're on, forward is always forward. Based on a number pad, 6 is forward on the left side while 4 is forward on the right side. Confusing as hell.

My friends and I (and plenty of people) started playing fighting games in the arcades and snes. Why would we use number notations when none of those use a keyboard. I'm guessing some people started playing/importing fighting games through roms or something.
No, that's stupid. I've spent over a decade playing fighting games using the number pad notation. Every other fighting game community does is except the English-speaking Tekken community. Why do you people have to be weird? It's a nightmare to read.
Be normal:
NRS games like MK and Injustice also use that notation. It is not weird. Why do you have to make it only about the Tekken community?
I think? Tekken is my most anticipated fighter of the year but there is so many games coming out it's ridiculous between this, ARMS, Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite, Fire Pro Wrestling World, Absolver, and not to mention the rumored Super Smash Bros. and Pokkén Tournament ports. It's a great time to be a fan of the genre.
Number notation is the best because you can map every movement in a simple and intuitive way. If a move requires you to do a 421 how do you call it? "reverse dragon punch"? How about a 412? "quarter circle forward from back"? For every movement you need to invent a new name and ask everyone to learn it. With numbers you don't need to, you can map everything. Numbers > all.
SF definitely does not use number notation

I derped and typed "SF" when I meant "SC" or Soul Calibur. Soul Calibur has used number notations for a while.

Nvidia game specific drivers for Tekken 7, a full week before it's even out. My gwad is Namco Bandai taking this serious!?
Implies that I want to risk updating my stuff :v
(actually, I'm not sure this is how it works lol)

I've never seen NRS players use that notation it's usually b,d,f,u and a combination of that.
There are no diagonal inputs so 2 or at most 3 movement inputs for command grabs get the job done.

Yup, only type of notation i can adjust to
Like I've been saying, I've been hands on with the PC build a couple of times (on high end Nvidia) and it's been fantastic every time.
Tag 2 netcode was great, not a lot to worry about.

Do we have any more clues to what exactly's in the season pass?
They released some of the PC footage through NVidia, so they at least seem to be working with them on the PC side.
Comes with three DLC packs. The first batch, to be released this Summer 2017, will provide a brand-new game mode and more than 50 new costumes. The second and third batches of content, to be released respectively this Winter 2017 and next Spring 2018, will both feature one exclusive playable guest character from other videogames licenses with, each time, a special stage and special costumes for these guest characters. This 3 post launch pieces of content will be purchasable individually but will also be available through the Season Pass that will grant to each buyers 35 exclusive metallic costumes.

Thanks
Anyone think Akira Yuki is gonna be one of the characters? Would be pretty bad ass.
Is Eliza available for preorder only? If i want to get the game on PSN.

one of those guest charicters better be kiryu.
who am i kidding, its going to be iori minase from im@s and honoka kousaka from love live, and ill still be hyped lol

I expect any guest character to have some Western recognition. Which, yes, basically excludes Kiryu.
She's a paid character available 30 days after release if you don't preorder.

Similar, but look at Michelle and Julia, Forrest and Marshall, etc, etc.
They'd find a way to make him work, plus Jin, Ryu and Akira were all in Project X Zone, so I could see it.
DLC for Tekken is usually super light, I would not expect like a bundle / ultimate edition later, they will probably not to any more DLC beyond the first season pass. They'll just move on to the next game.
It bears mentioning that this is the first time that Tekken has had a season pass, and Harada has said that by having a season pass they can support the game for a full year, rather than just two months, as has was the policy with previous games.
That said, I don't think I'd count on any additional paid content outside of the season pass.

I'm certain we'll see Lei, Julia and probably Anna as free dlc later on.
There's no way 2 guest characters is all we're getting after launch.

Did.... did..... did Dragonuv fire a Tank gun at Master Raven?
And did Master Raven just FUCKING CUT THE SHELL IN HALF?
This fucking game.
Pure speculation: Remember that Namco did a poll about a year and a half ago for favourite Soul Calibur characters, where Talim came out clear on top?
With no apparent Soul Calibur game on the way, I wonder if that might have been a way to see who to include as guest-character for the DLC.
EDIT: Made a mistake.

It's universal notion so japanese players can share tech to the rest of the world easier.

It would be cool if the final one of these videos debuts the first DLC character.

Will the Guest characters also be coming to Arcades?

Nope VF & DIA games use f d b u PKG. Only reason Soul Calibur even uses number pad is because there is a B button. If that wasn't there every 3D fighter would use the same notation.
Not true for VF. Everyone on virtuafighter.com has used numbered notation 100% of the time since the website was founded in the 90's.

I made a slight mistake. Talim came first, Taki came second. Your point still stands though.

It's kind of amazing how quickly Asuka became irrelavent to the Tekken canon.
Wasn't the fact that she's a Kazama supposed to play a big role? Her Tekken 5 ending suggested she would be able to purify Jin's Devil gene the same way Jun can (from the afterlife, or whatever).
Right after that game, Asuka's sole purpose has pretty much been that everybody just wants dem titties (including Lili).
This is going to lead to questionable fan art, isn't it?

No Talim was a misstep too. Now that you mention it, SCV removed all of the (few) existing dark skin SC characters. 🤔
