There's nothing complicated are silly about the fact that characters that have been mainstays are removed from a fighting game. The same thing happened with SCV.

So geese looks awesome but
Is dlc1 just bowling, and dlc2 just geese? If so that seems... Bad?
Not seeing any direct answers to this or anybody asking this. Makes the season pass seem a little light on stuff.

It's been asked and answered many times in this very thread, look harder.

DLC1, August: Bowling + 50 costumes
DLC2, Winter: Geese, Geese stage + Geese costumes
DLC3, Spring 2018: A character from another videogame, their stage, their costumes
Kaz is the hardest mishima to use and mishimas are very hard to use already. I think Kaz will always be very underrepresented in tourny's for T7 tbh.

Sorry, I tried googling.
But doesnt this seem really quite a bad deal? Surprised I haven't heard more uproar about it. 2 characters and bowling for $25? Bowling should have been in the base game.

tekken 7 is barebones and the season pass is really limited...I think most of us just accepted that.
What's bad about it? Bowling couldn't have been in the base game prior to the season pass so would you rather bowling not be included at all?

Um. Kind of. I haven't bought the season pass yet myself because i don't care about bowling and probably won't play Geese (It's kinda sick he's coming to Tekken though). I want to support them and buy it, but not if it doesn't have stuff i like.
So far Geese's stage is the only thing truly attractive to me. Maybe the costumes will be amazing but i'm not holding my breath.
Overall i don't think it's a terribly bad deal though, compared to other offerings in the genre. And maybe i'll like the second character a lot, who knows.
Claudio. There's a few runners-up, but Claudio has quite definitely the best one.

So people complain about DLC on disk, but also complain when DLC is made after a game is out?
Also games should come out sooner, but also have more content, but also not cost more money.
Just compared to peers in the genre it seems like not much for $25. But that's why it's optional. Still love the game and think the base content is worth it but not the season pass.

Personally I think it's about 5$ too much as it stands with the content announced. Depends how many costumes we get really.
Its certainly not taking the piss like 25$ for one stage and a few costumes like SFV is.

I'm not going to talk shit about the $25 Capcom pro tour bundle because I remember the breakdown that said like 75% of that money goes back into the competitive scene in some way (split between prize pools and helping pay for production costs). I wish more fighting games would do stuff like that.
The rest of SFV's DLC is fucking ridiculous though.
Unless all of the costumes are one piece outfits, it should be significantly more than that. The Season Pass gave us "35 Metallic Costumes" which broke down to a lot more items
Akira is one of the easiest characters in VF5FS and there is now an EZ mode input for his dragon lance combo: 3K+G,P,P+K. Ridiculously easy with basically no timing required at all. IMO last time it was difficult was VF3 tho.

Oh geez. Geese looks so good. I hate maining guest characters and I dropped Akuma for that reason but damn.

I don't really know what their capabilities are in terms of knocking out new characters. I'd assume bringing back classics is a lot easier from a dev POV than the guest characters. If they are bringing them back at all, it would've nice to get a heads up at least. Keep some hope alive. Even just a "and we've got some classics returning, stay tuned" thing at EVO would've been enough.
Excuse me? Nice attitude there.

Fear of what an opponent might do is not good. You have to take risks and weigh the cost. Xiaoyu even more so, she cant get big damage without putting herself in real danger yet coming out of it like an action hero.
1,d+2 is also a natural combo, so that if you get a hit you can follow up with another attack.
I use AOP d+1 a bit more, because my local scene is quite good at blocking AOP 4~3 on predicted reaction. AOP d+1 is a safer if blocked and the CH of AOP d+1 is also nice.
AOP 3 CH, WS+2, RDS 1,4, f+2, f+2,1,4
I haven't spent much time with it, but Wall 1, d/f+1, RDS 4 is the most damage with momentum after to keep pressure.
RDS f+1+2 only parries high/mid punches
The 3+4 is interesting and seem to evade more than it should at times. I am not certain on its properties other than it is also a punch parry. Also that the entire animation is 25 frames so you can sorta spam it and not get whiff punished easily. Still playing with it myself. I can say that RDS 3+4 is very good at evading and I use it with b+3+4 to really create dizzying situations.
As nerfed as AOP is in T7, I am finding her RDS and spins to be the way to evade. I am sort of annoyed by people losing their junk over AOP. Especially veterans who never said a word till now, when Tekken 5/6 AOP was far FAR better.

Kazuya has a limited toolset outside of EWGF. If your electrics and movement aren't on point people have very little to fear from you. He requires a ton of game knowledge to get the most out of him. The other mishimas (DVJ and Jin especially) have more stuff to rely on.

I didn't realise the DLC characters would be from other franchises
Now with that in mind I hope the next one is Kazuma Kiryu from Yakuza

I was hoping for Kiryu, but Geese was pretty much a 1B so I'm still insanely hype for that. I don't think Kiryu's chances are as good as they were originally with all the teases towards 2B and a ASW character, but Nier is godlike and I'm an anime player at heart so I'd still be cool with either of those. Guest character 7 is lookin' mighty fine to me.
Are there any Akuma players here on GAF that could give some general tips? I was planning on picking Akuma up to get used to special cancelling and meter management for when Geese drops, but there's surprisingly next to no info out on Akuma in all the usual spots, outside of watching a bunch of Poongko matches it seems.

Oh man, I never even considered that but Yakuza characters would be so awesome. I would main Taiga Saijima if he was in the game.
Fantastic choice in Geese. He looks perfect.
He is definitely a character I would pick up and main, but I feel like in order to be ready to use him well I would need to learn either Akuma or Eliza now to have meter management built into my game plan and more 2D fighter input execution on deck on pad when I normally player 2D games on stick.
Blah. I can't leave lord Rosie Jizzall though. Those sweater dicks got me hypnotized brews!

DOA. Give me Neotengu.
The direction your holding doesn't matter (okay there's a few obscure exceptions to this but nothing to worry about).
Command throws vary based on the throw, but usually it'll be 1+2. You can tell by which arm extends further, both arms is 1+2, left is 1 and right is 2.
it is ok to be pressing a directional input as you're breaking a throw
im guessing by command throws, you mean character unique throws? For those throws, you have to pay attention to the opponent's hands. If the left hand is reaching out, press 1. If the right is reaching out to grab you, press 2. If it's both hands, 1+2. Most players go for 1+2 throws since it's harder to break and some have great properties such as kazumi's and josie's which can cause wall splat
For generic throws that all characters have (1+3 and 2+4), they can be broken with either 1 or 2 BUT NOT 1+2!
Also worthy to note, you can't break any throw if you're in the middle of a power crush attack (the normal attacks that have armor properties)
Can anyone help me understand Xiaoyu's standing 3, ff+3 combo starter? It seems like a handy tool but I can't figure out how to be consistent with it. Sometimes the ff+3 will trigger the juggle state, and sometimes it just boots the opponent away. I assume I'm just taking too long to do it in the case of the latter, so I'm hitting them after they've come to rest?

If you're a Tekken fan, you should be happy they're focusing on guest characters. Tekken is really gaining popularity because of that which is much needed for our beloved franchise. Tekken Tag 2 was a near perfect Tekken game, great roster, great mechanics, yet it underperformed. Let them start lean and mean and build from there.
I main Xiaoyu and that exact same thing happens to me sometimes and you're right. You're just taking too long on the ff+3.
Well Hwoarang isn't very good playing a turtle game, so what can you do?
I concur in the rematches especially with the current state of matchmaking

I use to man K-Bob (Hwoarang) back in the day. If your opponant is a mid tier K-Bob player he will be susceptible to punches when he is in flaminco stance.
Also if he is doing string and is rang 0 or range 1, then a D+1 will stop his momentum.
Also when he is in stance, if your good at universal back dash, you can out space him, and punish.
FAST mid attacks also work well with intermediate K Bobs.
By the time you start leveling up to advance K Bob players, your understand his attacks more so, a andvanced K Bob players does allot of pokes and not so much stances IMHO.
Good luck
Right on, thanks. Started to get a better feel for it after a bit. Pretty neat move. I thought before that you only got that juggle opportunity on a counter hit.
This helps thanks. I did notice I was able to poke him out of some of his strings with a d+1. He's damn scary though.
maaaaaaaan I finally started this game off the Evo hype!!!
but it's so hard! and I chose the worst character too... Hwoarang!!
he's so difficult! lol. I made it all the way to 2nd dan in ranking off losses!!
his stance stuff is so confusing tho, I cant even learn from watching videos coz I never know the situation,
jus gotta keep playing and get a feel!

if you're new to the game, you could just keep playing player matches until you feel like you've gotten hang of it
