That moment, the moment where you walk into the arcade and as you enter you see some monkey astronaut shit where the Tekken 7 used to be. You fall down to your inevitable death, caused by depression induced heart attack. As you lay there in agony, accepting and resigning to your Fate, right as its about to go all black you see a glimpse of light. The one thing that can save your life in such a dire moment.


That bright light in a room of darkness is Tekken 7 relocated across the window. With new energy and vigor, almost super saiyan like, I have powered my way through a near death experience harder than a CH Phoenix Smasher. :D

Yo there's some dudes here from Rochestor with some serious game. I'm winning like 30% of my matches right now if that lol. I haven't lost to anyone like this except for the elite players but I don't know any of these dudes. Must be the newer players I'm less familiar with but they're legit as they come.


Fuck Paul Phoenix Though!

Sounds like some awesome T7 experience. God damn you're gonna body all of us, lol.
Lmao! I'm getting a good dose of the real Hwoarang, Ling, Shaheen, Lili and Claudio right now. One of these dudes that uses Hwo must have the ultimate MU exp because he is blowing up my mixups like I didn't think possible. Me and my boy haven't gotten more than a 2 fight win streak against these dudes, and the longest so far overall is 5W lol.

Definitely getting real in here though. The shit talking is turning up lolololol!

Looks at my username. Smiles. :DOGE
Just you wait. Along with that console version comes a buffed lucky chloe and a new Zaibastu research monster that's half dinosaur half nature enthusiast. That for ganryu ends up saving. They'll end up making an ever lasting bond for some inexplicable reason. :joker:

Just got back a little ago. Definitely was!!! Nights like this remind me why this game is so amazing. The neutral in this game is still #1.
Best neutral among many other things in my opinion, along with the worst marketing [stateside] ever. And MKX has amazing marketing, and probably [like the last MK] one of the worst experiences I've ever had in any fighting game.

Can't wait for T7 though, even if it's just looked at as... "Tekken again"

Pretty much haha.

What I realized tonight is "here's Tekken again but toned down depth" is still so much better than most fighters. I've been able to play against good people sporadically but usually like one or two at a time. Then a Bazilion matches against my friend. Tonight everyone and their grandma was in their arcade for Tekken so all the matches were intense. The level of play was as high as it's been with so many good players at the same time. Playing these matches against everyone reminded me how much I love this game, if I needed reminding. For a game with removed depth it felt pretty damn psychological when spacing and within hit range like always. When you lose it's still all "ok this is what happened. Now let me do X to counter it or Y to adjust my approach". Only person that really made me "salty" was Fab, blowing up my mixups and approaches to frame traps with unsafe shit (which was never actually unsafe because it apparently always hit me before I get my moves out) as if he was in my head one move before I made them. I didn't win a single time Fab and I matched up so I was secretly mad about that lol. Held my own against everyone else though.

All in all, when playing against good competition I could have played this game 6-7 hours straight and not noticed. I was there almost 5 hours today and had my girl blowing me up like "are you still there? What's going on?" and it felt like only 2 hours or something. This game is going to be a pure drug once it releases.

Oh man, I can't wait to play. SFV will have to hold me over, and that seems like forever away, ha. Just gonna be playing BF4 and BFH till then sadly, as far as I wish I had a fighting game to play [Fuck you NRS]. Like you said... even though it's still just Tekken [nothing really new to be excited about] with a shit load of technical fun stuff taken away, It's still [in my opinion] the best fighting game.

Yea SF is gonna be the hold over. It looks better and better. Cammy is always my main and I'm still holding out for Sakura, but if she doesn't make it I might use Karin as my secondary. I like her a lot (ironic being how much I hate Lili) in the trailer and gameplay videos. The way I played Tekken 5 hours straight tonight and left wishing I had more time I haven't felt since, well TTT2 lol. Could have played 8 hours with that crew if I had the time. It's still such, such a good game. This is how I know it will be just as addicting. We'll be able to play multiple long sets ONLINE with person after person and next thing you know 4 hours went by and you leveled up big time. Amazing game with amazing online will be the best of both worlds.


Speaking of online, I saw lag for the 2nd time today. After Bloodhawk's machine synced to mine, about 7-8 seconds into our match I landed a F1+2 combo and pressured his stand up with DF1,4. As he was trying to block it our screens did like a "lag jump skip" where the punch hit him anyway, then he did a matrix like movement, and then the low hit him hahaha. We both paused for a second like WTF lol. It lasted like 2 seconds, but that was the second time I've seen a lag incident. 2nd time for 2 seconds. :coffee:

I'll be so okay with the occasional lag spike, especially one you can both see and be like WTF! What pisses me off about MK is it's unseeable and just makes the one with the shit end of the stick input delay, look like a fucking moron. And T7... It'll only improve from now until release.

Karin, yes! I think she looks pretty cool too. Thinking her and Mika for now but, let's see who else surfaces before release.

Wish I could fast forward...

Bad withdrawal symptoms eh? :p

This is what I do not get with some people, they don't see the spikes or anything like that and they assume that the game is fine with them but the delay is the main killer for many of the people here.
