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.

lol I messed up, it was 4.

And the 1,1,4 launches so the full 4 string does hit afterwards.

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 see, that makes sense.

Edit: i see a A lot of people posting numbers for combos, is that the order for the buttons?

Just want a reminder for the notations. Assuming default PS4 controls:

1 - Square
2 - Triangle
3 - Circle
4 - X

Is that right?

I accidentally used a move with Bryan wich I have no fuckin clue what it was or how did I execute it

It was kind of a command grab I guess? Bryan picked the opponent up then air lunched the guy on the other side

To be fair, Katarina does have possibly the easiest one in the game. It isn't max damage or anything, but you can just mash u/f+4,4,4,4,4,4,4 as a combo. It isn't ideal, but you basically can't screw it up. She was made to be accommodating to new players.

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.
Click to expand...

I seriously doubt the netcode on PC is any different. If he's noticing a difference, it's probably because more people have their PC towers hooked up to a wired connection instead of wifi.

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:

https://drunkardshade.com/2017/05/27/tekken-7-top-15-moves-for-all-characters/

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.

Man thanks for the detailed answer. Movement really felt weird starting it and most of the time I did get rushed down a lot. I looked through some character guides and it seems like defensive/punish characters are for me, and also a good idea to learn the game with.
Appreciate it, many thanks :)

Love the game, and Bryan is tons of fun but holy fuck, this game has an insane amount of combos and strings compared to KI-SF-GG, so much shot to learn

Feeling so lost but loving every second of it

Yes, this! :D
Sadly I can't play over the weekend, but hopefully we can play next week :)

set the cpu to guard second hit to find out which strings naturally combo or combo on counter hit (NC and NCc respectively) also some hits in a string have different properties on counter hit too
(say with 4,4,4 string. The first 4,4 whiffs or is blocked and the 3rd 4 is a counterhit it may stagger or launch the opponent).

You know, I always sort of wanted Tekken to have a cut scene heavy story mode where you get to see different stories intertwine but I didn't have a monotoned narrator in mind.

Kazuya disserved that one though. RIP Heihachi Mishima

I'll do the other episodes later.

Just picked up my pre-order from the store.

Can't wait to get out of work and use the Hori RAP V I bought yesterday in anticipation. I played around in SFV and I can feel the improvement of no over pressing.

I realized I need to get better at fighting games. I already have MvC3, SFV, GG Xrd Revelator and now Tekken 7.

PS3 arcade sticks work beautifully. Ran through training on my Virtua Stick High Grade ❤️

I'm glad they do too, some of those roll-on button sequences are tough to pull off on the controller.

Everyone starts at the bottom at some point, especially if you're new to the series.

Man.. Haven't played Tekken in 7 years and this is amazing. Not doing too bad online either. The online matches in this game are so much better than in SFV on PC. I'm even playing Vazra who's in Puerto Rico and I'm in California and the matches are pretty good for the distance. Now I just need to learn some characters.

Started playing through the story mode and it's ok but pretty cutscene heavy. Kinda disappointed the character episodes are like 1 fight and a short cutscene ending and that's all.

Between too much story, not enough story, and arcade mode being only 5 stages with no story, as a single player gamer I'm getting the same issues I have with stuff like SFV where nothing's really satisfying and gives incentive to put a lot of single player time in. I miss the old Tekken games where every character had an intro and you played through arcade mode for 8-10 fights and then got an ending for them. Gave incentives to learn all the characters and go through arcade mode with them for the funny endings.

Haven't put a lot of time into a Tekken since T5, so just getting the hang of it and trying to remember how to play. Practice mode is ok, but yeah a training mode would've been helpful.

Otherwise the game looks amazing and plays really well. I'm on PC and having tech difficulties getting the MP working (tried for about 30 mins and couldn't get into a single match), so trying to find what SP stuff is the most rewarding and helpful for learning the game/characters. At this point it seems like just doing treasure battles over and over against higher level AIs is the best practice in solo?

Did you try Treasure Battle? It's a lot of fun! I couldn't stop playing it earlier today. Got a 30 something win streak and then Bob cheesed me with armor moves.

Used all my fight money to put together a cool costume for Feng.

Edit: nvm missed the last bit.

It is cool that all the characters speak their native languages and everyone understands each other.

So, what is Xiaoyu's backstory? She's a schoolgirl with a crush on Jin and she gets involved in this world threatening tournament to stalk him?

I played some Akuma low kick + fireball spammer last night. He got me on the first round (that low kick does hella damage!), but Claudio's up+4 and air juggles nullified his spams for the next three rounds. He had no answer for it, couldn't get in close enough and I would just circle around his fireballs when he was far away. The revenge match played out exactly the same way, except he didn't win the first round.

Got 3 wins with Claudio in ranked as well, still need to learn more of his combos though. Going to get started with my boy Bryan Fury later as well.

Anyone else surprised by how easily some of the achievements/trophies unlock? I got at least 15 just in the lab on practice mode. I feel practice mode should have been excluded (it only seems to exclude the offline vs mode) but oh well.

A Genki Girl whose dream is to build an amusement park in China. After suggestions by her teacher and distant relative Wang Jinrei, she visits Heihachi Mishima and begs him to build her park. Amused at the girl and surprised at her strength (she thrashed some of his guards before), he makes an offer to her: win the 3rd tournament and he'll comply. Due to this, she ends moving to Japan and attending Heihachi's private school, where she becomes a close friend of Jin.

Ever since then, she's been trying to help/save/resolve Jin and the Mishimas' dysfunctional relationships. None of them are actually bothered to even notice her attempts, though; it's a wonder Jin isn't tired of talking her down.

Tekken games have the easiest trophies ever. This'll be my first platinum since Tekken Tag 2, lol.

Tekken 6 was one of my only Platinum trophies back in last gen and I remembered that as a fairly easy one, so I wasn't surprised when 5 trophies popped in 20 mins of practice after booting up the game for the first time yesterday :D


Since sadly my playtime this weekend will be limited I would rather spend my time playing in the "normal" modes than story mode.
Does completing the story unlock anything crucial (or anything at all)? Feel free to spoiler tag if necessary.

I imagine treasure battle and customization will be the center of single player content.

Completely in love with the story.

That PS2 golden age story telling that I am sure so many of us are just so fond of.

It gives me a sense of warmth and comfort.I love the story mode!

Finished story mode on standard. Didn't take too long and it was a cool primer as someone new to Tekken. Treasure battle seems like it'll be a good way to get my feet a bit more before I start learning Claudio.

Had 2 online matches, both of them were playing perfectly. Until close to the end of the first round, the game just desynced and he match ended.

My connection is fine, tried out a match in SFV and injustice to check and it worked Just as well as usual.
