[lupinko]

I'm coming down to watch, already bought my night bus ticket and booked my shinjuku hotel.

 

[Line_HTX]

Best of luck to all competitors, and the return of Lenne Hardt on the mic for player entrances!

 

[StriKeVillain]

Oooh, very excited to watch! Tekken 7 FR is the best fighting game to watch at the moment. Bonus is we get Aris and Markman to commentate.

 

[sasuke_91]

Hyped for the tournament and whatever announcement awaits us.

 

[J-Skee]

Gonna wake up on the east coast to some Tekken news. Oh, yes.

 

[notworksafe]

I dunno if I'll be able to make it til the end but I can't wait to watch. I hope this all caps off with a release date finally!

Oh, I'm definitely dozing off before the end.

 

[Sorcerer Supreme]

put ryu in tekken 7

 

[ZeroX03]

If there is no announcement of new characters, updates or a console release date I will be angry.

 

[Doomshine]

AceKingOffsuit's schedule:

...and Knee's version H tier list just for kicks

He forgot Master Raven in that list but he said she was A rank later.

 

[Basketball]

Give me some mo

 

[NipplesAndToes23]

How many tournaments have we had for this game and it's still not even out yet?

 

[JayEH]

console release date info incoming?

 

[Inuhanyou]

Xiao won.

 

[atomic moth]

Anakin mentioned last night that Namco was working on a controller board for him. He was unsure if it would be ready in time. Anyone have any info on that?

I don't think he'll do as well as some of us rooting for him want him to do without it, unfortunately.

 

[Allforce]

I feel like I've been watching people play this game in tournaments for years yet there is not even a hint of a home console release.

I haven't seen any footage, but it looks like Kaneandtrench is using a pad in this photo from the official Tekken twitter:

Harada told the pad players about a week ago that pad play would be legal and they'd have a solution in place for it. If it's not ready by tournament time then...that would be pretty shitty.

I wouldn't worry much about Anakin though, he's pretty proficient on stick as well.

 

[atomic moth]

Cool. I hope he does well.

Did anyone else here ever get to play on those Tekken 5 cabs with controller ports? It made a world of difference for me.

 

[SquirrelSoup]

Since everything runs at night i'll probably have to watch the archive.

Please have a release date, Namco. Or at least some news.

Yep same here. Hopefully I'll wake up to some awesome news.

[TheSpoiler]

Please be a character reveal.

 

[SDBurton]

Came home just in time. Let's fucking go!!

 

[Horseress]

Those tournaments are so weird...japan girls, japan students? the fuck is going on

 

[Malice215]

Those tournaments are so weird...japan girls, japan students? the fuck is going on

They held separate qualifiers for women and students along with their open qualifiers.

 

[Kumubou]

Those tournaments are so weird...japan girls, japan students? the fuck is going on

Namco had separate qualifiers for woman and under-21 players in Japan in both Osaka and Tokyo -- that's where the Japan Girls and Japan Students entrants came from.

thanks guys

 

[Hands of Stone]

Is Aris gonna be commentating?

 

[SquirrelSoup]

Is Aris gonna be commentating?

Yes.

 

[lupinko]

Bought a Lili tote and Zaibatsu wristbands, waiting in line.

 

[TheSpoiler]

Is that one Japanese player who won some green last month gonna be there? She was a good Ling player.

 

[Deps]

Less go Naps, I believe (somewhat)

 

[Requeim]

LOL that anakin speech

 

[Hands of Stone]

So who's the favorite to win this?

Not as well versed with the Tekken scene as I am with SF..

 

[LowParry]

I'd love to see a Ling player take it all. It's like the only excitement I have for T7 is Ling being so good now.

 

[SDBurton]

LOL that anakin speech

Anakin looking so satisfied. Get outta here!

They play everybody, but for this tourney which is character locked, D Jin and Dragunov respectively.

 

[Doomshine]

Hoping for some more awesome slow motion moments
