TEKKEN 7 |OT| How I killed your mother

Any chance Best Buys are giving them out early? I have in-store pick-up and I'd really like to go now instead of waiting until after work tomorrow (and after taking my son to see Captain Underpants).
 
Not a fan of most of the character outfit redesigns, but I really love Paul's Mad Max outfit. Goes well with the comedy moustache.

Congrats to whoever won the PC giveaway code from earlier and thanks to Eclectic Sk3ptic for providing it =O

That was me :D

Thanks again for Flash for doing the giveaway. Went 10-0 on ranked matches. Last two matches were a Devil Jin mirror against some dude from Georgia (I'm in Texas). Absolute fun even with lag


 
Some people got Eliza, others (like myself) didn't. Presumably they sourced their keys from different retailers, so some people got lucky.

Game's controls seem a little funky. From what I can tell you need to use a gamepad to actually control the camera in customization mode. I must be missing something.

Also, people weren't lying about the loading times. They're bad even on a PC. Guess I'll free up some space on my SSD...

How long does it take?
 
Is Dragonuv a good beginner character?
Also, is there a Discord? I didn't see a link in the OP.
Yeah he's fairly easy and straight forward. He has two advanced techniques both of which have decent substitutes so their importance isnt as significant as they once were
Really? Pretty much every guide/reference I've seen has Dragunov as an intermediate to advanced character.
in ttt2/t6. if you didnt master his f3~f,df~N,u cancel AND picking up with iWS 4 off of CH WR2 then he wasn't being used to his full potential. now he has substitute combos that aren't half bad if you cant perform his advance stuff 100%



Rip uploaded a good video for tekken beginners

Because when you start out learning Tekken you're not going to instantly be worrying about the extreme intricacies of every character. You're going to be focusing on being able to move and punish properly which is an equal learning curve for every character. Once you get the hang of it you can start learning and adapting to Dragunov's instant while running specialties which isn't that easy but it shouldn't discourage people from beginning their journey of Tekken because of it either.

If Dragunov or any other character appeals to you go for it. It's significantly more about finding a character that you can connect with where you can see yourself putting in the time for.

EDIT: Aris can say it better.

How yall enjoying the game so far? Those who haven't played in a while give your opinions! I'm interested.

Also those who were disliking some of the game before playing, what do you think?
 
Not sure what character i want to start playing as. I have huge nostalgia for the old roster from the ps1-ps2 era, so i might go with Jin or Law or something. I'm so sad they don't have Lei Wulong anymore, he was one of my most played characters as a kid. Miss u jackie chan<3

Might go Law since i always that he's basically Bruce Lee, but maybe i should try to give one of the new characters a shot. But shit, i also wanna play yoshimitsu, King and Hwoarang.

Fucking bigass roster, god damnit ;_;

Well Story Mode is definitely not for folks new to Tekken, it's insanely hard on medium difficulty.

Argh, I have a very good computer but load times are grotesque, menus stutter and there are freezes in battle even in training mode.

I really hope they are going to patch it quickly...

Two of my online matches against a fellow Devil Jin player :D

Yea it was laggy but it was the most fun I ever had in a Tekken match ever since I was against a player of equal skill :) And I came back from 0-2 TWICE!!!


Apologies for my voice. I tend to play without mic but i mic'ed up for my friend who likes to watch me.
 
Tweeted Harada, asking for Zafina to be included in 7. I've been watching vids of her and she is glorious.

Shouldn't you have tweeted him after the game came out years ago? xD

It was once the Arcade characters were all announced that tons of people asked for characters, and of course, the first one back that was announce was yours truly. ;)

Did a quick arcade run with Asuka before work this morning. Can't wait to play more tonight. Running PC version on Ultra settings, very smooth.

Anyone else having trouble changing their resolution on PC? It set mine to a weird number, and I can't seem to change it. It looks ok, but I'd rather play at native resolution.

That being said, the game is pretty fun. Played with a friend, and we were both pretty much mashing our way to some fun matches. I've always thought that 3D fighters are easier on mashers. Not sure if I'm right though.

Ok the Heihachi vs. Akuma fight is harder then Shao Khan in MK9. Jesus Christ.

Mh? Wasn't very hard here, more than the previous fights of course (where you win all at 1st try) but I did it at the 2nd try and I'm a shitty FG player. I play on normal though, didn't try on hard so it might be that.

Man I have no idea who I actually want to play.
I never had a main in Tekken, I just jumped around with every character.
The closest to one was Jackie Chan, and he isn't in, also I had fucking no idea what I was doing with that dude lol.

Maybe Nina, Paul, or Raven.
Kinda also like the idea of Lucky Chloe just because everyone hates her.

Wow, has anyone tried viewing the previous Tekken's videos ? The sound quality OMG !

Tekken 3' intro almost blasted my walls off, so much bass !

I've Been playing for years...

Dragonov is not an easy beginning character IMHO.

Paul is good for beginners IMHO

And "Katrina Alves" was specifically designed for beginners, start there.
 
Wow, the combo system is way different in this game.

Scaling is crazy, so longer combos don't outdamage shorter ones. This means combos are easier to execute in general but lab rats might be disappointed that their crazy stuff is even less viable.

On the other hand, I tried like 5 different combos for Feng (off the same launcher) and they all did around the same amount of damage. This is cool for diversity and player expression. You won't be seeing everyone doing the exact same combo.
 
Man, turning post-processing all the way down works wonders for the overall visuals.

At any rate, it's nice to FINALLY be able to play this after seeing it in tournaments for several years now. Plays great and looks great. Really, really glad that Tekken is finally getting supported on PC officially.
