TEKKEN 7 |OT| How I killed your mother

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

Lol. It is low key one of the better fighting game story modes out there.

All I got for the Vernal Equinox was this stupid tag
Same here, always disconected before accepting a match.

Checked around and it's not just us. One suggestion was to try searching for a session in ranked and then just wait on the match list screen without picking anyone and someone will challenge you. But I'm still waiting, lol.

Guess I'll go back to the PC version. It works fine there.

What I'm finding works to help compartmentalize things is to try to incorporate just 1 new move or string per ranked match + revenge match. So I'm getting more used to the strings I already know while adding new ones slowly and methodically, and also developing a better feel for which ones overlap, and which ones I can phase out of my arsenal. It's helping me keep things straight with the enormous move lists.

That D44 string for Dragunov, the low -> high has been a really good pickup. It's helping me condition people so I can open them up. I'm still trying to figure out how best to use some of his grabs. The F3+2 seems like it has potential, but I'm struggling to fit it in at the moment. I'm still convinced that B12 is amazing. People will eventually get used to it, but damn those are some fun buttons to hit.

All I remember about DOA5's story mode was that Kokoro is the dumbest character I have ever seen in any medium.

I couldnt stop laughing when Jann Lee throws the nun chucks and instead of catching them she just keeps looking at them and watch them break a vase. The Ninja story which is the main story of the game worked fine and they tried to show you what else was happening on the background even if some are jokes.

This, how do you block rage arts?

not be in a middle of an attack when they activated. Once the camera zooms in hold back to block. If you did an attack or were in a middle of an attack animation, tough luck.

There are 2-3 characters that have a rage art that hit high like Steve. In that case, duck it when the camera zooms in

Yeah it's been almost perfect for me on PC too. It's been a great experience, hopefully they get the other versions sorted out quick before word of mouth starts turning bad and so everyone can just enjoy the game.

With Steam's DS4 configuration I've set the clicks on the touchpad to control vlc through global hotkeys. So I can do bottom area with click to play and pause songs, right side for next song and left side to go back a song.

Top part to start and stop recording.

Pretty sweet, just going to put together a playlist that spans the games. Using just the T7 songs atm.

Playing ranked on PC is largely fine, bar an occasional disconnect. But I'm yet to get past the first round on a tourney without a disconnect, and that's when I'm lucky. It seems a lot of more shaky, but I don't know if that's because of others disconnecting or something.

Once in a game, it feels amazing- like the other person is in the same room.

Netcode on PC has been fantastic so far. All great connections, I don't even feel like i'm playing online.

Not much of a FG player but my past online experiences (MKX being the most recent) have ranged from okay to awful.

was about to win my first tournament but.... disconnect. WOW. IM CRYING. My rusty ass is crying.

Given how unstable tourneys seem (though some people are clearly finishing them fine) I think it might be better to leave them alone til the servers stabilise a bit...

Hmm. So matchmaking is kind of borked on PS4 right now? At first I thought I was having problems because of my location but I can at least play SFV with the occasional playable match. Searching for an hour last night I couldn't connect to any opponent besides one....and it played like.....well, like this

Though to be fair, Tekken games have never been very playable online for me due to the fact that I live on Guam. My internet connection seems to only be almost playable in 2d fighters but I was hoping Tekken 7 might change that D:

Finally started story mode. The narrator sucks and I've been skipping his parts. Also that Akuma fight, jeez

Edit: oh sick let's do that one again, it was real fun the first time
Double edit: oh sweet let's regen and do the fight a third time

Amy indication of what the Xbo player base is? Was thinking about buying this for my little but I don't know if the audience is big enough to keep him busy.
 
That story mode would have been better without the massive retcons

oh man, i am never a fan of those, especially in tekken. i am still psyched to get to check out the story though, as that's my favorite part of tekken. once i'm done with my impressions i'll bump the story thread again

Looking at some of these character ages on the Wiki, jeez. You can't tell me head-full-of-gray-hair Bryan Fury is only 31, Feng Wei is only 26, Dragunov is only 26, Xiaoyu is just 18, Asuka is 17, and Lili is fucking 16. I am an old man in Tekken years.

So I'm only ~90 minutes in and I already adore my pick for a main (Xiaoyu). I'm sure I'll still get annihilated online since I'm new, but it's nice that my fave actually jives with me instead of feeling unfun to control.

Beat Story Mode. My impressions? Loved it. Sure, there's some small issues with it but overall for the Mishimas that was dope. They really topped off their whole feud very well. Also...
I've been telling everyone since this game was announced that Heihachi is dying and this will setup the next one with Jin taking the main spot once more being the "Kazuya" and Kazuya taking the "Heihachi" spot and I was right. Shit was perfect.

Look, people declining matches in rank all the time is bad but when your username is something along the lines of "Rape is love" , i won't feel as bad to reject the match...

If there are people on these cabs when I get there, I think I'll have to pick him and hope something comes back from the ttt1 days.

Maybe king. What's kings best 2 throws? Still tombstone and giant?

Wait you can qr giant and cut the damage huh...
 
I actually really like the idea of the character stories. Get to see all the cutscenes without having to go through arcade with everyone. They are a heck of a lot better than the still images from SFV's character stuff. Also wow, they weren't kidding about the Jukebox having ALL the music. Also it's been fun watching old Tekken videos in the gallery. I really love collection stuff like this. Although they left out Gunjacks alt ending from 3.
 
Character episodes.....that can't be it, can it? One fight and that's it? Lame.

You're telling me Nina is in a wedding outfit because he was infiltrating a mafia wedding? EXTRA lame.
