I'd like to know this too, so I know whether to use ethernet or wifi.

You don't need to know about the netcode to make that decision.

As delay-based netcodes go the older Tekkens were pretty solid. Maybe second or third best (I'm not entirely sure what Sega used, and they were definitely better). Definitely more playable than SF4 pre-rollback, NRS pre-rollback, etc.

 

[Baleoce]

Just bought this on PC. Got to wait til 2nd for it to unlock though. Depending on the size I might not get to play it til later in the weekend. Looking forward to it though.

 

[twisteh]

I know what you mean, but to explain better I've got ps4 in my bedroom at the moment so if the wifi is "decent to OK" I'll just keep it there rather than go through the effort of moving the ps4 back to my living room solely for this game.

Easiest way to practise blocking rage moves? Can it be done in training?

Anybody?

Actually debating on if I need to cop that Pro. Maybe I need to trade my base PS4 in but who knows how much of a hassle switching games would be.

Full disclosure, I traded mine in for a pro last weekend, both for T7 and future games. It was a little time consuming re-downloading my games (still have a few I'll get too) but other than that I've been thrilled with the hardware so far. But I'm a bit ocd with console graphics and resolutions lol. It'll still be 60 fps even on the standard model.

 

[AllenShrz]

Yes, the ranked system is broken.

You spend waaaay too much time on menus, loading screens and rejects.



Other than that soo far so good. On another thing, I'm playing on the pro with an external ssd, looks to me that I'm always loading faster than my opponent.

 

[Ucchedavāda]

Does a Steam pre order include Eliza?

Yes, at least when you purchase from reputable sources.

 

[Hutchie]

There is a record and repeat in training but blocking rage moves in no different to any other move, you either block low or high. So its probably more useful to know what hits where

 

[Sillution]

Silly question to anyone who preordered from Best Buy ship to home. Does free shipping usually come to your house for release day or do you need to pick release day shipping? Debating on choosing to do pick up from store or home.

But those had atrocious netcodes.

There are delay-based netcodes with great results, like Guilty Gear Xrd Rev 2.

If you have to compare the Tekken netcode to obsolete 10 years old games... yikes.

Not saying Tekken 7's is bad but please use better comparisons so we know what to get into, it's a legit concern.

 

[Dubz]

Got it on CDKeys via PayPal. Will CDKeys just end up sending me the code to my PayPal email, or do I find the code on the site? If anyone knows, thanks.

Good point. That is going to be majorly time-consuming especially with a new game out that I want to play. Damn.

They should be sending an email when the code is ready.

You will get an email to whatever email you have registered on their site. That will have a link to the code.

Aah I see, it's releasing a couple of hours before midnight.

Wow. Guilty Gear Xrd has some of the worst delay-based netcode I've ever used. (I'd put it slightly above NRS games, and worse than even stuff like Soulcalibur 4.) Completely unplayable, even with friends whose connection I trust and I successfully play dozens of other fighters with. Funny how that works. I suppose Rev 2 might have improved things, but since most recent Arc games have been basically unplayable for me online I kind of doubt it.

But just to be clear, I haven't played Tekken 7 online yet so I wasn't offering any impressions of it. Like everybody grabbing the superior version I get to wait a bit longer.

They sent me the link for the code via email about an hour ago.

 

[ZeroX03]

You should always be using ethernet. Never wifi. No matter how good the netcode is.

 

[PARANO1A]

I'm excited and have my preload ready to go. I hope Kazuya remains awesome.

I'm a bit disappointed that single player looks slimmer than prior outings. I also think the backgrounds look very sparse and full compared to TTT2 madhouse arenas. Hopefully the gameplay is the hook that succeeds despite.

Xrd netcode is garbage unless you play on steam and change the settings for reduced input delay. Most of the good psn players switched to steam because psn xrd might as well be unplayable.

Not to be obnoxious, but that's not true.

Guilty Gear Sign released with a poor netcode, they ended up patching it a few months later and improved things dramatically.

GGXrd Rev had great netcode, and Rev2 is one of the best netcodes out there.

Anybody with a stable and fast connection would have a great experience with it anyway.

So for you to call it unplayable, I have to seriously wonder what can be going on.

 

[Ferrio]

At what block advantage/disadvantage are most moves safe at?

Ask any top Xrd player, they will tell you the same thing.

 

[Stephen_drewz]

Is the story mode in this anything like the MK/Injustice ones? I usually never play these games online and am trying to justify purchasing this.

 

[SquirrelSoup]

At what block advantage/disadvantage are most moves safe at?

To quote my own write up:

*When you block a move that is 0 to -9 frames on block, most characters can't do anything so that move is safe. You still have advantage of course, so use it to pressure them.
*When you block a move that is -10, most characters get a jab punish for small but relevant damage and good advantage after, so moves of this caliber or worse are unsafe.
*When it's -12 or -13, characters start to get punishes for significant damage and/or knockdown.
*At -14, characters get mini-launches or strong hits into knockdown.
*At -15 or more, most characters get a launch into a full combo so these moves are called launch punishable.

Looking forward to some matches this weekend!

Thank you!

Took 11 hours. Now it's time to take on some bums online.

got my cdkeys code check your emails and click the download link. preload almost done

anybody kno if we can unlock early with japan vpn?

Is there even any pro support for that's been confirmed yet?

it's a Worldwide unlock time...not done by regions

 

[deadscreensky]

Well, all I can say is I haven't played the most recent revisions. After Xrd and Chronophantasma I stopped buying Arc's games without serious discounts, since I consider them effectively offline-only fighters.

I could definitely see Xrd maybe working okay in certain scenarios, but as Deps has pointed out there's definitely a broad consensus that the netcode for the game is bad.

Looking forward to some matches this weekend!

I'll be there, probably with bells on because this is Tekken and everybody's a clown, ha ha ha.

But looking forward to it.

Spoiler

Seems like I'll have to put some more practice time into Tag 2, I figured if I was just fighting Mecha I was fine as is.

 

[Menome]

Full 1080/60. The base version is 900/60.

[crimzonflame]

So my PS3 Madkatz TE (first version) stick will work on this?

 

[Gitaroo]

Any pc impression for a 970? So far they only said 1060 can do 1080p & 1440p 60 fps but nothing on 970. 1060 is quite a bit more powerful than 970. It looks like the pro won't be able to do pc max setting (missing motion blur).

Lol Someone posted this earlier but I'm just now realizing it was knee who made the tweet. Yeah I wonder why no one wants to play him lol....

But in all seriousness that does seem like a big flaw. Though I would love to get my ass kicked by a pro online.

oh wow, but yeah his generalised point about being able to reject a match like that is valid too. Idk why they'd show you all that info beforehand. Just say if the connection is good lol

 

[ThatCrazyGuy]

I played some today with somebody's else disc for a few matches. Wish the load times were faster. Probably was just super impatient to just play more, haha.

Can't wait till Friday!!!

I wonder if there's a way they can implement incentives after release. Like if you decided to accept a match from a really good player you get a crazy good cash payout regardless of whether you win or lose. Here's hoping they were already thinking along these lines or something because I know people are going to abuse the shit out of this unfortunately.

 

[SarusGray]

Omg I'll gladly play Knee. COME GET IT KNEE, KNEE ME KNEE MEE!!!

 

[Beautiful Ninja]

I'm buying this game because I saw a .gif of King doing the Rainmaker and doing Kazuchika Okada's pose. I will regret nothing if I ever actually successfully land a Rainmaker on someone.

 

[MrS]

Not sure whether I love or loathe Rage Art online. It has saved me and killed me in equal measure. It's a nice Get Out Of Jail Free card for sure.

You should only be able to see their connection, not their record. Being able to reject laggy ranked matches would be good.

I have a 970 myself, curious to know the same.

[Coda]

That's why this game is amazing. The amount of extra content and customization is the best in Tekken 7 and it should be an example for other companies. So many fighting games lack this amount of deep customization and content at launch. I have to commend Bandai Namco for this release. It took a while but at least we're getting a fully featured product.

 

[Skyzard]

Listening to the soundtrack, it's all pretty damn good. Quality soundtrack.


Whoever made Ruin 65 2nd is kind of mental in a great way.

yeah tbh, leaving OUT the option to do this to people is one of the things SFV actually got right. :|

the avg. online warrior is always gonna wanna win/pick favourable matches. should just match people blind.

Would have preferred a few more game modes over, or in addition to, the customisation tbh. It's a bit empty compared to TTT2.
