Yeah ok, so it seems like a pretty lukewarm reception. Here's hoping the fire hand mechanic actually turns out to be decent.

Some characters seem to rage better than others, from what I gather.

This game could be Tekken vs Street Fighter.

Tekken vs VF would make more sense IMO

Claudio dedicated his life to bowling. Frame after frame, for many years, he honed his 'Strike Fist'- the legendary blue flame that got him banned from many of the most prestigious lanes throughout the world. Now, with his trademark shoes 'Turkey Lily', he competes only in yearly bowling invitationals.
With this year's Tekken Bowling tournament canceled, Claudio seeks to try his 'Strike Fist' in real combat.

One thing I look forward too in Tekken games is the OST. TTT2 has some great tunes.

Thanks a lot. Now I'll be disappointed when this isn't his official profile.
Amazing 7/7
Claudio's design makes me think very... I don't know... Soul Calibur/Final Fantasy. Kind of an extension of what they were doing with introducing Eliza, too.

Claudio concept art:
I like this character design but for some reason his age doesn't match his attire. I can't imagine that face with this get up, something is a little off. It's the hair. How does one have such good taste in clothes and then such a shitty hair stylist? His clothes are regal and his hair is punk.
Oh yeah, I forgot about the tat. Hopefully he'll have a customization to remove it. And hopefully his face model will improve as the game furthers it's development, along with all of the other bizarre faces. Leo gets confirmed to be female, and now she's got a bunch of baby fat.

Some interesting stuff.
Too much stuff to quote, but some interesting comments on Tekken 4, 3rd strike and a bunch of other stuff in there too.

That's really depressing. I hope Tekken 7 does well for them.

I'm not surprised about the budget. Tekken used to be a multimillion-selling franchise (Tekken 3 sold 2.6 million in America alone). They screwed the franchise with Tekken 4, really.
Well Tekken 3 was the standout hit of the series. I thought Tekken 5 an 6 sold well though.

Eh, personally I feel Tekken needs a semi reboot with it's roster. It's gotten too big, just pull another Tekken 3, bring in a couple of the more popular characters in the reboot, while the rest is new characters.
It was already a hit franchise by then, though, Tekken 2 sold 1.7 mill in America. However, TTT sold 1.3 mill and T4 sold 1.2 mill. I have no cumulative numbers for T5, I only know it sold 350k in its first six months. These are NPD numbers btw, I have some old-ass numbers from way back when.

I thought tekken was making a bunch of money in the arcade? Arcade pie is shrinking as well.
Hope it sells well. It will get my money

That was a good read. I'm liking that Harada have that mentality of taking the lack of opinion in certain things into respect.
smh.

You can't port 2D sprite based animation to a 3D character.
Umm...so?
How does that change the fact that all those games were built from the ground up, and T7 had recycled most of its content so far?
I don't know, I think my point has been pretty simple and clear, while your responses are looking more and more childish and hyper-defensive. My sentiment has been echoed by several, both here and abroad. Covering your eyes and saying "LA LA LA LA" isn't going to change the fact some major franchise fatigue had settled in. Being hyper defensive about T7 isn't going to make it better. In fact, ironically, it could make it worse if people don't voice their concerns. That's what a beta test is for.
You can't understand the difference between (1) completely reanimating a move from scratch so that it's completely new in a new game...and (2) literally copy/pasting 10+ year old keyframes?
You are exaggerating with the 10 year comment quite a bit there. While there is some carry over, a lot of it was from Tekken 6 where they touched up the animation for a lot of the legacy moves quite a bit. From there we got Tag 2 and now we have Tekken 7 with a fraction of the budget. Some of you people talk like they're still using Tekken 1 and 2 animations across the board, which is straight up bullshit.

I once said that about 2d fighters. They'll eventually make a comeback, just like 2d fighters did.

Its wrong/misunderstood information.
Also the most expensive Tekken ever made was Tekken 6.
Tekken has always maintained and still boasts the highest production values for a fighter. Don't see why T7 will be any different.

So, lower budget than Tekken 6, but higher than 5? Sounds fine, especially if they are working off of a lot of the stuff they built with 6 and TTT2
All the better for it. I liked a lot of the customizations in Tekken 6 (they seemed much more tailored to the specific character they were made for than Tag Tournament 2 customs were) so I'm glad to see those making a return in some capacity. And I wouldn't mind seeing some legacy costumes for, say, Yoshimitsu or Miguel using mostly Tekken 6's assets. Other characters as well, if they're getting their standard 2p outfits changed.

I hope hair customization comes back too, I fuckin loved that.
Without a doubt it will. I just hope they let you do left & right bangs separately again (taken out in Tag 2), and add some new options. Hopefully it'll look a little more natural too, with the color and whatnot.

all this talk about being on a tight budget, but evidence here and there is cropping for this game being a Ps4 exclusive, so far anyways. hmm
What evidence?
What a random post.
Except for the series' past history on the PlayStation consoles (which is mostly irrelevant), there's really no evidence to support that. Also, if you read above, the budget trimming is much less extreme than what we initially heard.
Uh, what?

Why does the ground shatter every time one steps on it? how much do they weigh ? 2 tonnes each?!
It's all the positive energy.

You know, I would be okay if the ground didn't break. Only for supers to make them more speciel.

OK, forget what I said about this being exclusive. that's probably not going to happen.
the only thing that puzzles is me is if what is said about the arcade board is true, why not just opt to use a regular high end PC instead? with all previous tekken installments they only saw themselves porting to playstation and that's why the arcade boards ran on PS hardware. but why NOW would they continue to use P.S hardware in the arcades?

yes, the series past history on the PlayStation consoles is a thing of the past however, I'm pretty sure tekken is still largely recognized as a PlayStation franchise.
and i'm sure harada knows that, given how even after its gone multiplatform it pretty much flops on any other platform except for playstation.
then they come out with other exclusive playstation games so it's safe to say most of the hardcore tekken fanbase is on playstation. so it's not completely out of this world thinking it'd be exclusive again
