TEKKEN 7 |OT| How I killed your mother

Yeah, but that does not teach me all the systems really. I can learn execution there, but not much else. In case I have not missed something.

I think it's just for the ESRB, doesn't actually make a difference in-game.
Oh, so it won't try and prefer matching me up with Japanese players when matchmatching online? And it'll show me flag as Denmark. Good to know. I'll play around with the game when I get back home!
YESSSSSSSS!!!! Thank you so so much. I have been searching and searching. Thank you.
Absolutely, I'm on Steam though.

yeah, if you are in neutral / (or "*" in game notation/ N in text notation) the game will automatically guard high/mid attacks but its not 100% reliable, i think it doesnt block all hits in multi-hitting strings so ideally you'd like to be blocking going to neutral then blocking is helpful.
you definitely wanna check out the characters top 10-15 moves and integrate them into your game play.

The training mode is super useful to because defense/offense/wakeup are all really important in this game. You can use training mode for execution as you said but you can go through your move lists and see which strings combo always, which combo on counter hit or launch on counter hit, what moves are good for punishing or catching side step/side walking. making your opponent laydown and try scenarios where: the opponent lays flat (see what moves hit straight down), they try roll back (you may have a string that can float them up so you can combo them again), etc. on the same page, another poster was having issue getting hit while down. you can record the opponent preforming specific hits/combos while you're on the ground and you can see what options you have to get out of it (backroll, sideroll~backroll, laying still, getup kick, etc.).

I noticed that as well when starting yesterday. Though I didn't get too many recurring fighters after that. I hope they introduce online player ghosts at some point.
Don't stress too much over feeling overwhelmed - that is pretty natural when first jumping into any fighting game, much less going from 2D -> 3D rules (especially one like Tekken with big movelists for each character). As to your rule questions, the main things to remember are that all movement commands cancel into other movement commands, and movement commands cancel into attacks. Being able to cancel an attack into movement (like being able to back out of an attack before it comes out) is character-specific stuff and will be in the movelist; as a standard rule you generally cannot.
I'd probably focus on trying to get comfortable with the movement of Tekken, and once you figure out which character appeals to you the most, start trying to figure out that character's sort of "key" moves. Don't try and learn how to apply every single attack, because there is a nearly infinite amount of situations in Tekken and a lot of those moves aren't that useful outside of certain ones. Knowing all that shit - like how to adjust your combo if you are coming at a wall at a weird angle - is stuff you can only learn over time.
Just look for some basic stuff that you can put together to get a general gameplan going using some of that character's better moves. You can look at various character tutorials, but this link is pretty useful in this context:

Like, I haven't played Tekken for 20 years, so I kind of feel like I'm in the same boat almost. So from the jump I'm trying to just grab like ~8-10 moves out of Paul's moveset that are good and give me a wide enough set of tools that I can focus on learning how to move and still get some damage out of as many situations as I can recognize (which isn't many right this moment)
For the most part I feel like Tekken is almost entirely movement and knowledge based, even moreso than 2D fighters. Let yourself learn all of the knowledge part over time - including your own character's moveset - and focus on learning how to move around, otherwise it'll feel like you never seem to have the opportunity to use any of the moves or combos you bothered learning because your opponent will always be in the wrong place at the wrong time.
wait.. there's no ghost?
Well, I'm not sure to be honest. But with Tekken 6 you had the message "uploading ghost data" when going online, and that hasn't been the case with Tekken 7. Also it's not called ghost battle but treasure battle.
Tekken Tunes fixes the biggest gripe I had with it on TTT2 which was a lack of shuffle or randomization. Before you had to manually set music to stages iirc and if you got tired or bored of a track, you had to dive into the main menu and adjust. It was amateur hour despite the novelty.
Now you can thankfully just select an album, create a mix, or shuffle the catalogue, but you can long specify tracks to play at a whim. Better, but not really there yet.
The game also doesnt has a popup telling you the song and game the current track stems from. Would be nice given many may likely just choose to shuffle all and wouldn't really know which era each piece hails from. Cmon Harada!
Yep.

I'm on both Steam and PS4, so just add me.

Just leave me a message that it is you.
So Aris has spent a bunch of time with both the PS4Pro and PC versions of the game and he says the PC version is by far the best. Beyond the visual bump he says the netcode seems a lot better, match quality was much higher. Rickstah agrees having played both as well.
On average SFV has 1300ish concurrent players on steam, so ya there is nothing to worry about, but cross play would have made things way better
.Edit: can anyone explain the difference between rage art and rage drive or whatever it's called?

Rage Art is sort of like Tekken's version of an Ultra from Street Fighter. It requires a simpler input (I think you can even map Rage Art to a single button in the control config), and does the whole cinematic flash. All Rage Arts have armor in the startup, so while you can get killed before it comes out, you won't get interrupted by getting hit. These attacks also deal damage in relation to how much health you have left; if you use them right at 25% health or whatever you get Rage at, they will do much less damage than if you land one with like 3% health left.
Rage Drives are more like EX moves from Street Fighter. They are essentially a souped-up version of one of your existing special moves that gains additional properties compared to normal (most frequently faster startup, more damage, much better block advantage, and better hit properties like launch or pushback). These do not have innate armor like Rage Arts and you can more easily get hit out of these.
Using either one of these options will immediately end your Rage state, which means you no longer have the Rage damage buff for the rest of the match.
How do i get the rage state? Is it the red/blue aura? But i have no idea how it starts.
That happens automatically whenever you get low on health. I think the threshold is either 25% or 20% health. You'll know as you'll flash and glow red (as will your health bar).
So i can't use either until i get into rage state?
Correct, they're only available when you have Rage active.
I guess Akuma is the exception since he has EX bars.

Really tempted to pick up an arcade stick for this game.
What are you guys using on the PS4?

I'm using the Hori Real Arcade Pro Kai 4. Only got it a week ago but already feeling really comfortable with the stick.

I've only learned the absolute basics of Katarina's strings and Jesus this character is a power house.
Just a 1,1,3 string followed by the full five 3 string is like 40%.
I'm in love.

yeah seems so but the community is on ps4 by legacy and ps4 is the tourney standard. i was torn between building a pc or buying a ps4 but I have to buy a ps4 pro and get used to that version because I dont wanna grind the pc version and lose at a tourney cuz the ps4 version felt different or some resolution/stage/slowdown quirk.
Combo videos or just guides on how to play the game?
I think Akumer's "super" that consumes both EX bars is different than his Rage Art, yeah (the fireball super). He can do that one whenever he has the meter.
I forgot how much of a pain it was to collect money quick. Going to take a long time to unlock all unique costumes. Kinda funny how Jack has so many of them.
I know this is a silly question but did you equip the whole set?

I bet they didn't.
It's the full outfit, the mask and the belt. All three or it doesn't work.
Buce, I think you got your notations mixed up, I think you meant 4. Also that's not a combo lol, practice mode lies to you. Set CPU Action 2 to guard.

According to most reviews this seems like a great value for the price they're asking.
Maybe gonna grab one this weekend.
