Tekken 7 General Discussion Thread - OP Updated With All Tekken Info

I also heard Eddy is lowkey bad when it comes to competitive. Like if you mean to go the distance, he's not the best character to do it with.
Which is why i said "if the competition is low"
If his opponents are playing casually they will hate Eddy, if not, pick Claudio.

Eddy is a scrub, if the competition its really that low, while you slide from X to O repeately, he can do a snake edge( a launching sweep) into a series of lows or mids dependig of how you slide and if you hold back or forward in the D-Pad he might actually confuse ppl more, if the snake edge launches the followup its a screw hit in T7.
If you pick Eddy there is a bunch of moves you can learn in a hour or so and may be so dificult for ppl with longer experience in game to defend against, like his b14 which was recently nerfed but still can make you annoying as a little prick if the competition is that low.

But if i think i have the right character for you, pick Claudio Serafino, he is a T7 startlet, no one knows his moves his 10 hit combos and how he plays, his game plan its the simplest for any new comer from a 2D game as well.

Claudio has a set of lows that aren't really that safe or good at all, but in Tekken ppl hardly block low due launching mids, so you harass ppl with d3 and his other lows, and when they start to duck in range, you do uf4 instead which is the best hop kick in the game with a huge range high profiles lows, avoid throws like any hop kick, and is very hard to punish since its -13 on block, punishes in tekken start with 10f and are jabs.

He is has a mechanic similar to Devil Trigger from DMC, if you land certain moves he activates a sort of buff and his lows become better, he gets a new launcher that is safe, and can become even more stupid, he also has a very good damage output.

I dunno what his key moves are aside from his hop kick, and his running 2 and uf3 which is a screw if the command is correct.

But you should check Claudio, his moveset its shorter than any legacy character as well and you can focus on learning things like what lows you should use to poke and what moves you should use as fillers once you do a hop kick.

Definitely one of the chars i will be picking up when the game drops, he is stupid as fuck, check some of his matches:

This is some good shit and i kinda like that character gameplan, althou that jump kick looks weird as fuck. Also its a launcher on hit? Like from what i've seen in that video, dude goes for it and then for 2x knees. I've also notice that dude uses a lot of sidestep 4 which seems like a good low and like you said that d3 seems very annoying.

Will definitely check him out. I dont want to scrubby may way wuth Eddy. ;)

Also am i missing something, why almost nobody blocks low in Tekken? You said coz of launching mids but doesn't low blocking cover both the options? I didn't play Tekken for like idk 10 or more years so i am probably missing something here.

Yeah Hop Kicks are neutral hit launchers for any character that has them, they are 15f startups and -13 on block.

In Tekken all mids are overheads, if you block low and get hit by one, lol...
the only special case are special mids, which are the generics d2 and d1 while crouching everyone has, those can be blocked either high or low and can be low parried as well.
All hop kicks are mid and a launcher, if you dick trying to block a low you might get launched by one.
its not that they don't want to, ppl are just too afraid to block low in tekken, tho there are those who can do it, but these also face a huge risk of getting opened up by mids aka overheads.

Thats like hella confusing lol -> mids are overheads? :D The fuck is this :) Yeah its been a while since i played Tekken. Good to know.

Believe in the hop kick
We need to get some solo TTT2 sets going, I'd play a little everyday but the only option seems to be ranked and I am not about to start that crap during TTT2 any more. My PSN is "Lastenmurskaajah", send me a friend request.

Yea this is one of the biggest components of Tekken. Characters with strong lows, my girl Josie for example, can chip away like crazy at the legs, because people are scared to get launched by her :qtr2 or :u4. Nothing feels more depressing than getting hit by 2-3 consecutive quick lows so you block low in anticipation, and get launched lol. Scrub killer tactics.

I'll never duck as Heihachi with the new uf3,4 unless I am making a hard hard read on some wake up mix-up I am forced to take. There is no reward given his lackluster Ws punishment. Uf4 will most likely tailspin slides mid-slide as well. The "I'll force you to block by poking then mix you up" types of basic players never use sidestepping or backdashing to bait whiffs anyway so the worst thing that can happen is just getting float juggled mid-air by jabs and df1's... and those basic players won't even convert those into proper combos anyway.

In general, low crushing is the superior option and a better alternative to ducking. Playing too honest makes you a predictable robot. Hop kick every now and then will curb low abuse.

If you're struggling to decide which character you want to play.
This is hilarious accurate LOL
Except for jin since they pretty much described the character but not the person that plays him, his description should've been:

"Is one of those everyones that mained Jin at tekken 4, thinks hooded version makes him top tier"

The Kazumi one is accurate for me.

I give all fighting games a chance. I ain't no hater.
Cool beans. FYI. Aris (Top Tekken 7 player and commentator) said that Tekken Tag was ''trash'', and that there were elements of the game that are not in any other Tekken, and will not be in any future Tekken.

That said, I follow him on twitch and he's just as excited about T7 as the rest of us.

Okay... so i did pretty well considering i messed with Claudio for like 30 minutes before the actual tournament. Was eliminated in 3rd round (sadly there was no double elimination).

The version of the game we played was pretty much done, we could finish story mode, all characters were there, everything worked just fine (PS4 version). It was said however that before the official release there will be a big balancing patch.

We were allowed to capture videos of anything we wanted beside movies in story mode to not spoil anything for others (well we could take those too and i actually did that but we can't share those). I got all my fights and pretty much most of the tournament fights.

Probably not gonna upload it anywhere since there isn't anything worth watching on it beside me being a Tekken 7 scrub. Was fun thou, gonna go hard on it when we get the final version of the game.

Thanks to @Eddy Wang and @SaltShaker for tips yesterday.

So where the Tekken lovers at? There's a Tekken 7 arcade machine 30min from my house, I'm here right now, so it might be a wrap for me.

Oh yea, discuss all things Tekken.
I'm as excited for Tekken as I am for Injustice 2.

I never understand when someone says they must choose. Games are only $60. I choose both.

I was gonna put up a picture of two hotties, but Google gave me more than I bargained for.
