TEKKEN 7 |OT| How I killed your mother

This story mode is a mess. It feels like it was a mess and they decided to tie the pretty cutscenes they got around some lame boring journalist. Oh and Akuma is there.

Then they spent all of their arcade ending budget on 'character stories' which are...

Well I wouldn't want to spoil the disappointment for anyone.

Could have been a Double Feature with Blood Vengeance tbh.
 
Was just playing online on PC with my DS4, won 2 rounds, then controller randomly disconnects, despite it still actually being on. What the fuck? Alt-tabbed to check DS4windows, restarted it, then I couldn't get back into the game. Absolute bullshit.

I've had issues with DS4 and Tekken 7, I just grabbed a wire and turned off DS4. Can't risk that.

correct me if im wrong but since this game supports direct input, you dont need DS4windows to play with a DS4

Two questions. How do I escape throws? I see people get out of mine, but I can't figure it out. Is it a button press or just guarding at the right time?

Also what's the button combo for the armored move to break through pressure? I forget what's it's called. Is it the same for everyone or does each character have their own unique sequence for it?

I use it for the extra functions, like dimming the light and adjusting some button functions (e.g. using the right and left areas of the touchpad to act as start and select buttons).

Throw breaks are hitting throw yourself at the time you are grabbed.

It's very that. Tekken just isn't suited to this kind of long-form storytelling, huh........

I didn't like the story. The narrator was godawful and nothing was resolved. Kazumi was lame. Akuma was laaaame. The character episodes are a lot more charming, and those are also pretty shit.

Also lol at the ending just being
yet another sequel hook, because of course the Mishima feud didn't actually end here.

I don't think you need DS4windows or even Steam's controller configuration to use the DS4. The game automatically detected mine

Ok complaint time....

Trophies....
While I have been playing it has seemed like they have been raining down upon me.
Yet, looking at my profile I see none.
Looking under trophies on PSN I see none.
WTF.

Netcode.
When playing....fantastic.
The ten or so matches that disconnect immediately before getting to that one match..tedious as fuck.
(Also people running without giving a revenge match? Bunch of f'ing c**ts you are. I really hope that can be chalked to netcode too)

I will not discuss the fact that I have to do all of my upgrades individually on each PS4 even though I am using the same ID.

Throw breaks are dependent on the arm used to grab you. Hit LP to break grabs that start with their left arm, RP to break grabs that start with their right arm, and LP+RP for grabs that start with both arms. Yes, you need to watch the animation. They did make the timing window more lenient compared to T6 and TTT2, but you can't just mash the inputs as it only allows one input during the throw break window. However, the standard LP+LK and RP+RK grabs can be broken by hitting LP or RP (regardless of which one they did), and this matters as a number of characters don't have many grabs beyond that.

(There are some special exceptions to this rule, like several of King's throw break inputs not matching the animation at all, but that's another matter.)

The moves with armor (power crushes) are not universal -- you'll need to look up the characters movelist in order to find out which one(s) have that property.

Matchmaking either ranked or not has been just a series of disconnects when it's time to accept the match.
I can't get a single match for 30 min.

Anybody else with the same problem?
Im in Europe.

Damn, PS4 Ranked and Player match aren't working for me too. Was hoping to test it out against randoms before I do a lobby with my friend tonight. The PC version worked great for me yesterday.

Yes it is. Can't do crossplay for p2p games on pc xbox ps4. If there was no xbox version we'd have pc ps4 crossplay.

Xbox version is gonna sell like shit, so I don't think that was worth sacrificing the crossplay.

If the Xbox One version is going to sell like shit doesn't it mean that players on that platform need crossplay more?

No. You break 1+3 and 2+4 throws with 1 or 2.

This is good to hear, I was afraid I would have to do some frame perfect input mirroring to get out of it. Thanks.

A few hundred thousand copies is worth more than crossplay, frankly.

All I got for the Vernal Equinox was this stupid tag
Is anyone else playing on PS4 experiencing connection issues? I can't connect to a single match. I wait for players or try joining and am told the connection was lost.
 
Same way I play Blanka - like a mad man :D

His spin? He has a few, back square is really fast (can be good for interrupting a hit before it lands on you) and brings you close to the other character for a throw or to keep a combo going like after a launch (eg down/forward triangle).

The other spins (back and circle or X) speed out of the way if you think you're going to be attacked, you can end up in a better position than if you blocked - often on their side or behind them. You go into the foreground or background like a side-step at speed but it cost you life. Careful when you're low on health :D Died twice by mistake yesterday after doing that.

Then he's got the other spins with triangle and one I like a lot is the sweeping one (down/back + x (x, x, x,)) real nice, followed with a circle medium height hit.
The health cost one was the one I was referring to. Thanks for the advice. I never tried to main him because of his health risk moves. Is his suicide to risky to use?

There was no guarantee this would happen.

I'm having a lot of fun, but in the back of my mind I just keep thinking about how I should improve my movement.

That's usually where I give up and stop playing Tekken.

I'm hoping this time I can get past that barrier.

I don't know why I always have such a problem with it, but I never get to a point where it feels comfortable.

Dead or Alive 5 story was better executed than Tekken 7 and respected the guest characters more.
