TEKKEN 7 |OT| How I killed your mother

Email Harada !!! Just got a rematch in ranked that I won but the rematch of opponent was some one else completely !!!!
 
Asked a few pages ago but didn't get an answer: Since I have limited playtime this weekend (and story bosses seem to be a chore) I would rather skip story mode and make the most out of the regular modes. Does story mode give some kind of rewards (costumes or something)?

I didn't get anything special for completing.

Mind you, I lowered the difficulty to normal for the last two chapters cause it was getting ridiculous.

If they locked that Nina outfit behind higher difficulties, I'm gonna be mad.

glad to hear that i'm not the only one with online problems, it's like it was released 10 years ago, no one is playing online, this has to be a problem, by the way i'm on ps4

Well congratulations! You got yourself caught!

There are unlocks associated with story mode, yes.

I'm only about a third of the way through so far, but I think it's fantastic thus far. The narrator is awful, but otherwise it's Tekken af and highlights how batshit the core of the franchise has been surrounding the warring Mishima's. It's stupid and nonsensical in all the right ways, and I had the dumbest grin during some of the flashback fights.

Really enjoying this game. Something about odd numbered Tekkens I tell you.

This narrator in the story mode is just the worst though.
 
Game is pretty cool apart from online not really working (although minimal lag when the matches do happen). Ganryu's moveset should be returned, but if they want to replace the character with a different kind of sumo/person guy that's fine

Well congratulations! You got yourself caught!
why is the online empty ?? i can't find a match in ranked when warming up, and when search for ranked match in the lobbies, i usually find 2-3 max players and everyone of them disconnects, WTF ?? is this a common problem or it's a problem from my side ?? please someone answer

Not alone here on ps4 either. Had one connection out of like 7 attempts during player match last night. Game constantly gave me opportunities with 4+bar quality opponents but immediately either gave errors trying to accept or refused to work. After like ten minutes of failing and hitting a training dummy with errors, one finally connected and the match went smoothly. Looooong loads to sync though. Not a pleasant online experience at all.

So I've just played the story mode, played some decent amount of treasure battle (got to 2nd Dan) and played a few matches online.

My initial reactions of the game are:

Holy fucking shit, why I have not gotten into this series sooner. This is EXACTLY what I was looking for from a fighting game, an honest 1v1 situation where spacing and movement matters more than mixups and setups and bullshit and projectiles and etc etc.

It was such a fucking rush, spacing myself so that I'd be outside of range of Law's wakeup kick and then punishing with my own stuff.

I still have 0 idea on how to play this game PROPERLY but I am ready and willing to put in the time.

It also helps that the game just FEELS so damn fun. Every hits feels like it lands and the slow-mo + closeup on hard hitting moves just adds to that feeling of impact.

What platform are you on? You can use me as a training dummy as I try to get back into the groove of Tekken.

I thought you were a Roger widow?

But yeah, rip Ganryu. Best dead character.

I am; Roger and Lei are my two biggest wants at the moment, but that (Roger's) style is harder to sum up. And I did play some Ganryu on the side. More in 6 than Tag 2.

Mostly I don't like how many unique fighting styles that have been left by the wayside, and I think it's a little silly that more people are asking for Anna over the interesting styles that don't have any form of representation in the game. But I guess people gotta have their femme fatales.

Granted I only watched it on YouTube but I was not happy with the story mode at all.
I knew the Mishima saga wouldn't end. Tekken 8 kills Kazuya, Tekken 9 kills Jin, Tekken 10 everyone returns 😑 Also Kazumi being a Devil was stupid too and her inclusion did not amount to anything considering how prominent it felt in the original trailer. Story is really tone deaf, character endings are worse
. I miss proper arcade endings.
It really does harken to Tekken 5 when the tag line read 'HEIHACHI MISHIMA IS DEAD' - Harada can't commit to his promises. I thought he was gonna kill Kazuya/Jin/Heihachi and start with a clean slate, call it Shin Tekken or something.

How much money did you get started the end of it?

But I guess people gotta have their femme fatales.

People just​ want to see her victory animation 😏

Thank Christ you can skip forward through the artwork cutscenes. The narrator sounds like someone slipped him some sleeping pills.

That is when I learned that the man known as Kazuya Mishima had a secret ritual to save money on car insurance. I am not being paid or fed. Please contact my family. Help. Help. Help. When the man known as Heihachi Mishima learned of this, he swore vengeance...

Is it me or lobby and ranking battle are fucked on PC?

It's a shame because once in game with my friends, is impeccable. Netcode as good as TTT2 was. But the lobbies are terrible.

Edit: nevermind, at least ranked works, I just have to use warm up mode and it's all good.

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 thought she had some connection to Heihachi first?
 
Online seems a bit too inconsistent. Getting desynced in the middle of matches with what is now 3 separate people.

Unrelated, but I've finally decided to play exclusively Katarina until I'm comfortable enough with her. Once I feel like I've "gotten gud" at Tekken, then I'll switch over to the StarBurst Kid, Claudio Serafino.

What resources do you guys use for frame data? I need to know now how safe/unsafe my moves are as Katarina.

Uh, yes it has. :p
I have the revision with the hayabusa buttons. There is a touchpoint on the side facing away from the player.

The Hori stick that I have have no touchpad like this. I can't seem to figure out how to get the restart position in practice mode to work. I wish they made it to L3 or R3 buttons like some other games...

Watching some FinalRound highlights, this Pokchop dude is hilarious.

Tekken scene always this rowdy? I love it

That's actually what I'd love, fresh start strip back the mechanics and just make a lean Fighter like Tekken 3. I stopped playing Tekken at 5 and this still doesn't compel me to return. Story and most of the new characters actively piss me off whereas once they were the reason I played Tekken.

I've had some wonderful online matches and a lot of disconnects, and I've learned some bnb and launchers with Josie, and other stuff. It feels incredibly great.

Force your stick to ps3 mode for legacy support and it switches to Select + O to reset ect...

I leave my home for half an hour and miss the mail by 10 minutes, so no Tekken 7 for me today, Will have to pick it up at the post office tomorrow :(
 
I played against a Gigas player and he did this weird ass grab which did around 40% of my health bar in 1 or 2 hits.

It wasn't a formal "grab" with the pink effect and the arms, he just picked me up and rushed forwards. Is that like a blockable grab or something?

Glad the current netcode is shit and it's not just me.

Installed, loaded up, watched the (awesome) intro, practiced with my boy Yoshimitsu for a bit, realised he no longer has one of my favourite moves, went to play online, got about 8 or so 4+bar matches, every single one of them disconnected before I even got to fight.

Turned the game off.

then your stick must've been the same as mine, go make your hori stick enter ps3 mode
on the top right of your stick there are 5 switches, the one on the most right should be either 4 or 3, flick it to the right for ps3 mode
in ps3 mode, share + X button is position restart in practice

Online has been working flawlessly on PC for me for the last 3 hours at least, now it's botched, can't find matches, probably the servers taking a beating or something

I'll try again later today, 4th Dan and i'm starting to get my head around a 3d fighter lol

It's a command grab you have to break with 1+2,if it hits you close to the wall, well, you saw the damage.
