I'm so happy about the Capcom Pro Tour premier events being equally distributed on the globe. 4 to each big part of the world and some outsiders that deserve it. They did a great job. I'm know it's stupid but as someone who worked hard as a TO and with TOs to get great tournaments to raise EU players level, I feel really, really glad to see Europe not being treated as the fifth wheel this year.

Just got home from work, I always miss out on all the good stuff 
, oh well. Anyways I'm pretty excited about all the announcements. I love the money is being split, it's almost exactly what I had imagine it to be actually. And they also distributed the ranking and premiere events pretty evenly throughout the 3 strongest regions which is a huge improvement from last year. I'm glad they were still able to reach some regions that tend to get ignored like South America and the Middle East.
I'm glad they already have every set in stone instead of adding events as they go along. Their seems to be a few events every month so we're getting something almost every few weeks so that's nice. I see that NCR and Hypespotting are on the same weekend. That will be very interesting to see where the Asians will go if many travel to those 2 events.
As for Momochi's auto invite, honestly I don't like it. I'd prefer he have to work for it like he did last year. I don't think of him as a Championship boxer defending his title. I think of him as more like a tennis player who played in a year long circuit, became the champ at the end but will have to start from scratch like everybody else in the new year. What's done is done though but I don't think this is something they should do again for next year.

It might seem set in stone, but there is always room for the "shit Daigo hasn't qualified yet" cup.
Well, as a beginner in Tekken and someone that quit TTT2 because I couldn't break throws for my life, I love everything I'm hearing about T7! If even TTT2 brought new players to the community, imagine this new, more newcomer friendly game! This can be huge
BTW
What has changed? I probably missed it

I like Tekken and Tag 2 but I think regular throws and wakeup mindgames aren't hype or visually appealing to the common people. They are interesting and the mind games are good once you know what is going but they will always lose to a flashy combo or a good offensive read with a big Super at the end. Plus how many times I heard "STOP ABUSING THROWS" or "KICKING ME ON THE GROUND IS UNFAIR"?
The stick situation with USF4 is going to be annoying for a number of players, but people need to get paid in the end so it's either deal with it or go play MOBAs or something. It just kind of stinks, especially since the transition with the PS3 was a lot easier in that regard (and I know a few players locally still play on PS2 sticks to this day... why ditch what works?).
I'll be honest -- I don't think I like the new throw break system in T7 (pending more information, of course). I understand why they changed it, but the new system seems like it would make throws trivially easy to break, unless other things changed. Did they speed up throw startup? Is there some situation where you can be locked out of the throw break (like throw reject miss in the BlazBlue games, or CH throws in most 2D fighters)? If the only change to throws was to make most breaks easier, they may as well just take them out for most characters.

Congrats, now you only need to... finish the game. D: Hopefully sometime before 20XX.

Throws seem kinda de-prioritized in Tekken already. Why make them weaker?

I think this has happened before.
I just hope people tune in to HS this year. It's going to be crazy.

All the PC versions of SF4 have been ported by QLOC- they're a Polish studio that does the majority of Capcom's PC ports.
It eliminates the need to use a throw break trainer for starters.

DOA5LR lookin' rushed out the gate DOA2HC style, at least on XB1. No stick support and hella lock-ups/crashes.

Posted this in the Off Topic thread but I thought you guys might appreciate what my 5,600 tweets boil down to.
PLAY RUFUS
All attacks that land when your opponent is on the ground or is in the process of getting off the ground count as a clean hit. In other words no more fishing for scrubs backrolling all the time to juggle them to infinity
I'll repost what I said earlier in the thread:
Backrolling or doing a quick getup will result in the same damage scenario as a sideroll. Hence you never have to think about floating an enemy again or trying to timing a perfect launcher at the instant they recovered from a backroll. Only way to maximize damage off okizeme is doing a low for a bit of damage on the ground. And 90% of the time, backrolling will be the optimal solution according to the people who've played it.
Meanwhile no tournament in Australia (expected) so I can't say the PS4 stick thing is a problem for me.
You Americans with your 7 tournaments can just suck it up
Did Momochi qualify for winning Capcom Cup 2014 or did he qualify for winning Shadowloo Showdown 6?
Making back rolls that good seems a bit silly, although you are giving up position and putting yourself that much closer to a wall. Although I wonder how much that matters, given how strong wall carry typically is in Tekken. It ultimately depends on a number of other things, i suspect.
It sounds really dumb on endless stages, but it seems like most of those have been cut. Are there any available at launch?

"Not doing Super/Ultra" = roster additions will be expansions, not fully new titles like SSF4/UMVC3 were. That model is bad and they know it.

Hour 1 of my T6 experience was holding back after a knockdown and getting hit over and over. LOL

King is going to suck I guess. Both SW and giant swing are a 2 break?

Nope, the throw change is only for generic throws, i.e. 1+3 and 2+4

Well, there is some time to improve the stick situation before EVO.. but at the rate things are going there will probably be a lot of players without PS4 sticks of their own.
I kind of wish MikeZ had never wrote the code that made PS3 sticks work on his game on PS4.. I would prefer to just figure "well that's just how it is" rather than knowing there's an open solution no company feels like touching (which puts us in a situation where we have to go spend $220 on a stick).

They should be aiming for Tekken 3, not SF4. Tekken 3 was the best selling non-smash fighting game ever.

It's okay. Hard to get into matches but once you do it's usually quite good. More or less comparable to other Arcsys games. If you were okay with the online in those you should be okay with it in Xrd.
Like Soul Calibur, then? (A throws and B throws).

They shouldn't be aiming for any past Tekken since that's what they've been doing for years.
Basically most of the changes for Tekken 7 are good, I just hate that the throw break window is big. Should be smaller so regular throws aren't useless.
thankfully its easy to memorize since it still follows the 4 button limb system. Only thing that abstracts is that any form of siderolling involves pressing 1.
My face was making all kinds of expressions when I was going through the GG tutorial lol

If they are willing to make an effort in the optional content for console releases this time that would be nice. Tekken used to be known for all the additional things you could do outside of just fighting, much like Mortal Kombat is now. It would also be pretty great if they decide to release said console port within a reasonable time frame.
