TEKKEN 7 |OT| How I killed your mother

Exactly. Some tracks are just all around excellent, some have good parts and bad parts and some are just bad.

For example, the Arena stage music round 1. The beginning part is awesome and really done well.Then the intense dubstep part starts and it's just shit.

I got excited when I heard the beginning part of the G. Corp Day stage with the jazz and then I heard that WUB WUB come in and I immediately changed the track out. That happens way too much with some of these tracks.

Infinite azure is the worst offender. Beautiful first round soundtrack. After that, final round its just wub wub sub dub wub wub wub
 
I started using a pad for Injustice 2, and I'm wondering if I should do the same for Tekken. Any former stick users have input?

IMO stick only feels right on 6 button fighters. Feels a bit awkward right now for Tekken.

As a former stick user, been playing on pad.

Its character dependent. Some character (Seems like the older ones, a stick is nice)

But actually a pad is better for many of the new cast, and pad is better for some other characters. In the end its what your used to, but I've been having success except for wave dashing.

Played 4 hours tonight, man this game is good!

There's half the songs I love in this game and the other half are meh. I think it's a pretty decent soundtrack overall. Sadly PC version doesn't have jukebox mode, but I'm pretty sure in a few months that will probably be paid DLC.
 
I am so terrible at this game but I find it fun as hell and I am dedicated to learning it. Just playing through arcade mode with a bunch of characters right now to try and get a feel for it and decide who I'm going to play.

From the beginner videos and general consensus here I understand that there tends to be relatively universal types of moves as between the characters but I'm having trouble just understanding the system generally. I just need to practice more to get a sense of it, I'm sure.

Presentation of this game gets me hyyypppeee but then I enter a fight and I'm total shit lol


For new players "Level up your game" is a GREAT series. Although its Tekken 6 however 90% of the stuff is still applicable

This is my first Tekken game (aside from Tekken 3 in the arcade in my local mall) and I'm absolutely loving it.

I blitzed through the story and thought it was alright. A few of the fights were bullshit (fuck Kasumi and Akuma) but the story itself was fun.
I felt like the game built up a bunch of plot threads that went nowhere, and by that I mean anything that wasn't Heihachi or Kasuya. I get they had to build up story for the next game, but everything with Jin was useless in regards to the story of this game. Also, having to win the fight as Heihachi but still losing in a cutscene is stupid. I hope they continue the story in DLC, but I doubt it.

Totally maining Panda right now, she's a blast to play as.
 
Anyone mind doing some player match? I'm too annoyed to bother with searching anymore. I can't keep a connection to anyone I play with randomly, only friends.

Any shaheen players that want to mirror match up so we can learn from each other, add me on Steam and/or PSN. I'm CSX142857 on both. Please tell me here or on PM who you are before adding me so i don't think you are a random person. Of course add me too if you just want to match up sometime :)

earlier he was. he was destroying me lol.
Yeah it seems when I use Lili it just clicks
And my Shaheen is really weak currently. Missing many opportunities to capitalise on stuff. The last match when I was Katarina you just poked me to death and had no answer

Seems you can't get away from pokes if you pick up Shaheen and have to use them

he doesnt have the best lows which makes it hard to break an opponent's defense if they all do is stand guard and break throws T__T

Getting better with Chloe, need to look into better juggles and figure out her oki. Also her rage drive seems awful, don't understand why you'd use it over her rage art.

This difficulty curve in story mode is ridiculous. That final bonus stage is really really hard, even on the easiest difficulty. I don't even care about the story, I just wanna finish it to get it done so I can go back to character stories/treasure battle, fuck you
Haha yeah I played for over 2 hours last night and I don't think I'm even close to finish it. Stopped at the
Kazumi
fight and went to bed nearly crying lol. And I really do hate Heihachi more than I think I've ever hated something before right now, and I'm not talking about the story here, already at the second Akuma-Heihachi battle (the "I mearly waited for you to become stronger!" one) they got me to retry like 20 times until I started getting sore hands :S

I still love the game sooo much though. This will likely be on my GOTY list this year.

I wanted to use the threat of slide after conditioning people to get free hopkicks like with Law but better than rising 2. I think this was when he still had the full combo after ch slide? Don't know if they removed it or not gotta test

His lows are so bad

Kazumi seems really easy to pick up out the gate as a newbie to Tekken as a whole.

I have some solid 60+ damage combos with her mid screen. Tiger is top tanyer.

and im already bad enough that inputting his slide lol

But yea his slide mixups are the same as law's. Opponents have to choose between the low or the ws2 launcher up close

im gonna go to practice mode now and see if he gets a juggle after CH slide.

At the wall even if you miss slide and they duck WR 3,3 comes out which wall splats and that leads to 3 crouch dash cancels into and another WR 3,3 which does alot of dmg

Haven't played Tekken since Tekken Tag Tournament and so I am getting absolutely murdered online.

Can anyone point me to some good quick tutorials online that I can watch to git good quick or atleast serviceable??.. =\

I'm getting the hang of Akuma. Jumping straight into matches and I was figuring out things going along. After going into practice, I can do a lot more stuff now.

I can do things easily offline but it online there seems to be some kind of lag even with full bars. First I thought it was my pad. Just weird.

I just got around to finishing the story...wow it's terrible! It's even worse than whatever low expectations I had for it. It completely nonsensical with scenes having no real connection to each other. The reporter thing was done terribly and served no purpose whatsoever for the story. If Namco was going to spend big money on a story mode, they might as well have put more effort into it.

Anyway, has anyone beaten the
akuma special story chapter fight
? That fight is hard and I'm only playing it on normal. What's the deal with making fights tougher by giving opponents perpetual super armor?
