For those that are missing the otherwise amazing Tekken 7 stream with terrible resolution.

I think this is just placeholder music.
Yesterday, people were saying the game didn't even have any music. But they must have added it today. I don't know.
Regardless, there's a high chance Tekken Tunes is going to be featured in Tekken 7 as well so you can put up whatever tracks you like.

TTT2 music is so good. I disagree.

I sucked six dicks to get this tag.
Smash netcode reminding me of steamworks street fighter right now.

Slow-mo = hype?

I'm actually enjoying the addition of Supers to Tekken. So much better than Soulcalibur's attempt.

Does having them as a comeback mechanic make them that much better?

Smash netcode has been really impressive so far.

Yes. Especially if the community insists on 17 hour sets it will at least be a bit less boring to watch.

Its not all that easy to land since it doesn't have invincibility frames just armor and you'll most likely get killed trying to use it raw. Some of them are terrible at whiff punishing is as well. Also rage damage is significantly lowered or non-existent.
Without the tag mechanic things should be fine.
I highly doubt anyone's going to favor doing 4/7 rounds. That's way too long.

If they do, they'd be really stupid to ask for it...no point.
I suppose I should have specified and asked how they were better for players and not stream monsters, sorry.
Hmm, most supers in SCV didn't have startup invulnerability either, so most people still just juggled into them. I was actually hoping that ragearts would have more application in neutral than supers did in SCV, I feel like tying them to rage is too much of a copout so that they don't ruin frame-trapping and whiff punishing in this game. Only time will tell at this point, but the foundation for ragearts seems shaky at this point.

I do hope that some characters will have a utility rageart to differentiate their gameplan besides just trying it as a combo finisher or to try to land it raw. Sort of like how Viola's could use her super as a setup, since it put a blackhole on top of them, then she could try something while they are blocking it. I wonder how balanced something like a grab rageart would work in Tekken. Throw breaks are important, but if there was something like an unbreakable grab or one that is extremely fast startup compared to others, I wonder if it would be too much. You would have to sort of play it like if Zangief was in a 3d fighter, try not to be in range of the grab, and try to pre-emptively duck it (since in 2d normally you would try to pre-emptively try to jump a super grab, though jumping still works I guess)

I think that's fine for Tekken since that's a huge part of Tekken's game play. Power Crush seems to be there for characters like Hwoarang but its weakness to lows(and maybe throws?) makes it a ton more bearable than invincibles in TR due to invincibles making the game a shit ton more turtlely.
Rage Arts? Comeback Mechanic that's very hard to use properly. So it doesn't get completely abused.

Lows cancel Power Crushes. Say if Hwoarang goes into his pressure game, If the opponent Power Crushes when Hwoarang does his low during the pressure you take all the damage and your Power Crush cancels out.

They only absorb highs and mids, lows stop them.
We've already seen that Kazuya has a secondary Rage Art that allows him to transform into devil form. There could be others.

I just got done playing 62 matches online against ~15 opponents. Only one was laggy. Even the Japanese opponent and I had a solid connection. Color me sincerely impressed with this netcode in Smash.
I'll probably stick with Bowser - I went 43-19 with him tonight.

Players? Tekken? I'm not sure what you mean.

Well if I say someone is a "tekken minion", it wouldn't really make sense in context.

So you don't want them copying the Marvel community, then
Marvel community copied Tekken with 3/5 anyways so it would be quite the vortex.

Needs some touching up here and there aesthetically but gameplay wise T7 is just looking so good.

At least thus far the stages seem more coherent than TTT2's stuff is. Those things were so all over the place.
MikeBreezy92

? Besides the double floor break on one stage, there wasn't nothing too different from TTT2.

I'm more referring to the lack of random fish trawlers. A sense of direction and feel comes most from what you exclude, what you focus on.
Basically: Calibur 4 and Calibur 2 both have fantasy/historical landscapes as backdrops. Calibur 4 has the goddamn Deathstar and Jedi in a historical fantasy swordfighting game. Calibur 2 has a far better sense of direction and coherent feel to it than 4 does because it doesn't include the goddamn Deathstar. You also can't jump into a lobby to witness the duel of Sephiroth vs. Shaq Fu who's dualwielding axes, followed by Jame T Kirk the next day. TTT2 feels the same to me. Random fish trawlers, tulip fields, some epic building high up in the sky if memory serves, and Kuma with an Abraham Lincoln wig. That's atrocious.

I never had any dissonance in Tekken stages. T5 had Penguins so...idk. Never saw the problem.

I swear there's been like 50 Capcom Asia Tour tournaments in the last couple months
A lot more than the US at least

Probably because the US had most of its tournaments throughout the year.
All of the soundtracks to Tekken have been great. There's still plenty of time to make sure the one for T7 isn't raw ass.
I don't see how T7's application is so much better. At least with SCV you have to do something to earn meter. You can choose to spend meter on other things instead of using it only for a super, especially in the case with certain characters where it's much smarter not to spend the meter on super because they have higher damaging combos that use less meter or can setup for a ring out, plus the comeback mechanic is milder since you only get a bar of meter after losing two rounds in a 3 round set instead of having it available for every round when you're down in life.
Supers in T7 gives it some flash that people were looking for, but right now I'm not a fan of their application. We'll see how things turn out in the final game.
Namco has had a few games to really work on the netcode for and now Smash is the latest benefit of that effort. The console version is really going to blow up with the amount of people enjoying the handheld version.
The US has had more events that count towards points or a guaranteed spot. And the Asia Tour is a mini circuit leading up to the Asia Finals later this month which is a round robin to pick the qualifier for Capcom Cup.

Tekken soundtracks have taken a step back every year beginning with Tekken 5. I think the problem has been that they don't tailor each stage and song to a specific character. Maybe it's just nostalgia talking but if you go back to T3 and listen, both the arcade and PSX remix accurately reinforce the idea of the character they're representing.
Nina and Jack have cold, industrial music. Ogre has a menacing song. Jin and Hwoarang have some catchy likeable stuff.
I was hoping with a pared down roster, they could do this again. But probably not.
Also, maybe I'm just old and can't understand what the kids listen to these days. I changed the TTT2 OST within a week.

There was one match i saw with a good song or at a good part of one. Whatever that was, I hope it stays
