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

He's kinda odd for sure. I think he's more of specialists character than he seems like on the surface. He looks simple, but the way he moves and his silly-huge move set and nutso mids makes for more complexity and kinda awkwardness than I expected. I'd love to take him on and probably replace Josie (between leo and Shaheen I just don't play her) with him but I just can't seem to get my feet under me with him.

Also, in sorry but he looks annoying as fuck. If there was a "Slim Bob" costume.or someshit I'd almost guarantee he'd be my primary main.

There was a Slim Bob in Tekken Tag 2 lol. But anyways, im online NOW getting in some WERK! Just beat my first Juggernaut with Eddy's MIX-UP CITY BIIIIIIIIITCH! WOOOOO it feels GOOD!

Edit

It feels RIGHTEOUS

I might double dip and learn Akuma as my secondary in this game, for some odd reason years of NRS taint has ruined my abilities in SF. I will get them back

Akuma is amazing.

I've stopped playing Josie. I only play Shaheen and Leo now. I really want to learn Bob but he is difficult to get comfortable with, at least for me.

I see the Shaheen still lives on, Leo is a badass. Back on Xbox, I had one of my buddies main Leo and it helped me level up a lot. The pressure and mind games are insane, especially when you are unfamiliar with the MU. I started off as an Akuma main but dropped him for Dragunov because his toolkit suited me better. Since I switched over to PS4 and was fortunate to add more friends to play T7.

I'm the only one with one main, so why not go to my childhood hero, Akuma. My mind still has this weird blockage when I switch between T7 and SFVAE, in particular, his demon flip command is different. I should have him leveled up soon. Nothing is more boring than being a lobby and being that guy with one character. Especially when everyone is trying to level up their other characters.

gonna try to get on in 45m to an hour for some games if anyone is interested. US, east/central (Kentucky) ps4 and PC both.

If I get over this damn hangover I'll be down

So far so good with Akuma, mastering his FADC and demoning people have been fun. I do love how technical and execution heavy his combos are in this game. I was fortunate to give my day one Akuma a test run against my green rank buddies and fought some competent Brian, Kazuya, and Leo, I did fairly well, but my character knowledge, well, lack thereof showed in some situations.

I have decided to lab harder combos and improve my execution to familiarize myself with his toolkit. I will say most of his buttons being high and being highly punishable makes you play patient and cashout the damage when giving the opportunity. I believe he has a TOD if you pin your opponent against the wall, I think it links d1+2 into Demon. I should be online tomorrow for some games if anyone is interested.

These abbreviations Uncle JBeezY don't understadn....FADC & TOD please elaborate thank ya kindly!

I shall be available tomorrow. I JUST GOT VINDICATOR RANK! WOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOO! Finding out more mix-ups into Eddy's game is so fuckin' awesome. I HAD NO IDEA HIS UF3 attack can cancel into RELAXED! Do you know much more mind games i can play with my opponent!? OH MY SWEET GURKENS! The yellow ranks will be my playground for mix-ups and mind fucking my opponent!

Forward Advance Dash Cancel is a Street Fighter tech from SF4 with Akuma in T7 his specials can be FADC'd (1+2. ff) with one bar of meter to extend combos. A Touch Of Death (TOD), as the name suggests is a death combo lol.

WOMP! What i love about this game is that its not match up heavy, so when i see tier list for this game, I immediately dismiss the shit. Although, i do agree (kinda) the top 5 in that list, at the end of the day, that shit does NOT matter. The beauty of this game is that every has access to the basic normals and movement ....well....almost everybody. But it all comes down to the player itself. I wouldn't retire because of somebody's opinion of a character. Its all up to YOU, sir

Nah, retire as in, there aint enough content in this game to play it on a regular basis. But before i went my way... i wanted to suggest a few things for kaz.

I might play it on regular basis again if theres more added than just guest characters.

Ya know, I really want to make Miguel work... But something gets lost in translation with him, from practice to play. I feel like maybe it's just a time investment thing, and i just have to deal with it until he "clicks" with me... Cause I keep saying "nah I'ma just not play him" then I see him played or whatever and end up loading him back up.

It might be an issue of approach.. he's a poke monster and maybe I'm concentrating too much on trying to launch and combo and shit. I dunno.

I mean, it's not that I need another character, I'm happy as hell with Leo and Shaheen, but part of what I like about this game is how tactile the characters feel and the feedback from playing them.. and sometimes, I'm in the mood to be a big ass Spanish dude, and kick the shit outa.someone.

I have a feeling they are. I mean, they added more outfits last time before Geese came out and a new stage. With Noctis coming out, he also comes with a new stage that looks like another infinite stage. WOOOO OOOOO! MORE CONTENT!

Alot of ppl have been saying that Miguel is another character that was nerfed in 7 along wtih Bob. He's good, but theres way better characters to choose from. If u want to make him work, its all about chemistry, that love at first sight regardless of what others say. My Eddy, maaaan there's no question that THATS MY GUY! Even tho. he got nerfed as well because ppl called a witch hunt for how broken he was. BUT i love him, been loving him since part 3, so i stick with him.

U gotta ask yourself is your love for that character deep enough to stay or stray?

That's what I dunno. Need to play him enough to get more comfortable and decide from there I guess. His range got nerfed, or that's my understanding.. and I can see it. His moves look long and rangy but in matches I constantly have range issues and shit whiffing that really doesn't feel like it would/should.. but that's part of the whole "need more time" thing, gotta learn his ranges and maybe I'll feel less frustrated.. but mannnnnnnnnnn when you hit someone with Miguel they stay hit. I'm always surprised to look up mid round after only connecting a couple pokes, and see a health bar that's taken serious damage.

I dunno. Maybe I'll dedicate a couple days to him and make a decision.

Meanwhile, Leo and Shaheen are a weird combo, but crazy fun. Shaheen is so straight up compact and straight forward.. but I gotta work on perfect Snake Step cancels outa d3 or whatever, and crouch canceling into.his WS moves and the instant slide, that is still can't do at all.

If you don't know, that means NO. Connection is INSTANT and thought to it at all, its just BAM! "THATS MY N*GGA RIGHT THERE!"

U chasing them waterfalls mane. But hey, everything is trial an error.

If I went by instant connection I'd play.8-9 different characters in this game lol. I connect easily, it's when you're past that honeymoon phase and the other motherfucker is drinking the last of the coffee and peeing with the door open, and farting and shit that you learn who you really love and can tolerate lol.

Not a problem, lol. A tournament would be great, the only issue would be a timing. I'm usually the closing manager at my job, so I'm at work most weekends. I'm also on EST, perhaps something next month. How many people are you trying to get into the tourney?

They should have kept f2 and f1+2 as they were in TTT2. F1+2 having the -13 extension actually made that move situationally useful, now f1+2 is just a "throw out this move if you want to die" in terms of useability. Armor move could have just been something like Devil Jin's d1. Also I would rather have his b4,1 string from TTT2 back, put it on ub4,1 or something, like they gave Paul that new b2,1 string and moved his old b2 to ub2. Db2 got changed to being -6 on block instead of zero which makes no sense what so ever. F3 losing the CH knockdown is a nerf to a move that wasn't great to begin with. SS3 being safe this time around is nice but still nothing to cheer about.

Playing Kazuya just makes me salty in this game and I see no real reason to pick him over Devil Jin.

Edit: df1,4 launching straight into tailspin on standing hit would have been fine as well.

Jin and Devil Jin are fucking NIGHTMARES to face in this game. I see more of those two online than Kazuyas as i get higher in the ranks.

F3 knocks down on CH and and you can combo a dash electric for the same sort of damage as a CH df2 PEWGF.

Tiers do matter in this game, Devil Jin is nasty as fuck, as well as the spammy happy shit.

While Jin is definitely better in this game is just too honest really, some of the stuff he had in arcade where heavily nerfed in the console version, those nerf hurt the character a lot imo.

It's not a true combo. It only shows as a combo in practice mode and can be blocked.
