Story mode was pretty bad but it had some cool moments, mostly involving the Mishima's and ofcourse Lee.
Akuma, well,
Kazumi herself is also vague
Heihachi is sort of tragic and you'll somewhat sympathize with him,
Akuma, well,
He was just a jobber. And he even fails to fulfull his promise every time. So how do you know my mother? Well she saved me once, now die. Its weak.
Kazumi herself is also vague
She was sent to eliminate the Mishima threat. But she seems to genuinely love Heihachi and even bears his child, expanding the family she had to bring down. But then,
in normal form, she says marrying into this family and killing Heihachi was her plan all along.
Before this time she also gave Akuma the task of eliminating Heihachi and even Kazuya. This must've been when Kazuya was little still, since she's alive. So I take it she never planned to get pregnant and was evil all along?

Heihachi is sort of tragic and you'll somewhat sympathize with him,
yet he still threw his son of a cliff without fully knowing if he was possessed or not. But I guess he snapped after Kazumi's betrayal.
That's what I'm talking about. It looks like Heihachi is pulling off a move but in reality, Shin has that green power inside of him, which compels Heihachi to do what Shin wants him to do through telepathic powers, and those it looks like he has died, so that Heihachi will be focused on other things. Now Shin Kamiya can return to take over the Mishima Zaibatisu without him even know a single thing about it.
Shin Kamiya will return. And it will be GLORIOUS.
This is great! I love that they're listening.
I'm watching the stream too and I can't contain my laughter. Shenanigans everywhere.

Is quick match not even working on PS4? Whenever it finds me a game, it says the connection to the opponent has been lost.
Go to match list and literally wait. When a match comes up, accept it and it'll work. That's the only way I've gotten matches.

I forgot to record the sound, sorry about that.

Caved and grabbed this, super excited to get back into Tekken. I actually haven't really played it seriously in a long, long time - since, weirdly enough, Tekken Hybrid's port of Tekken Tag in... 2012? 2011?
Since I'm rusty as hell, who is a good character to stick with for a while to relearn the fundamentals?

Just beat the main story and did a couple side stories.
I don't know how a brand new player is supposed to make it through the Story; even on Easy some of the final battles were not a walk in the park.
That reporter is fucking awful. His VA reminds me of the narration from the quest mode in I think SoulCalibur 2? Maybe it's the same guy. Truly terrible.
The individual character stories...wow. What the fuck, Namco? These endings are barely what I'd call endings. I mean Tekken character endings are rarely great, but the ones I've seen have no payoff. Not even worth putting in the game from what I've seen so far.
They did a good job of humanizing Heihachi; I felt kind of bad for him in the end. The story itself focuses too narrowly on a few characters, and doesn't resolve much in the end. I did like Nina in this at least.
I was really pissed that they forced me to play as Akuma. I just want to play Tekken and they're making me play Street Fighter.

Or at least they could've woven them into the main story.

I think the simplest character is probably Kazumi. Very, very short movelist, but she has all the tools she needs. Simple exection (no quarter circle inputs). Her playstyle is based around fundamentals. Very fun to play as well.
katarina hands down. Amazing simple character.

Have to agree here. Kazumi is great but she's very poke and offense heavy.
I'm not sure there are bad characters to jump in with, but I'd maybe jump into a character with a more clear gameplan. Like Feng doesn't have any crazy execution and is very well rounded, but that also means you kind of have to develop your own style by learning more of his moveset.
I'm a big Paul fan. He does have a couple move commands that you need to take into account, but his general gameplan has a clear lane; whiff punishes, preventing sidestep games with his dope homing moves, and scaring the shit out of people with the demo man vs deathfist problem up close. You can start getting into the mix with only a handful of his tools and still have a handle on things while you learn how to move.

For people learning eliza here is an easy high dmg combo off a j.2 or b.4
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eP22dTlh4Fk
If you dont have rage art, after the qcb+1 you do f.4~ 1,2, 1+2
There is a far stronger version of this combo but this is a good starting place while you get the hang of her tool set and how to fight before going into the harder to do combos.
If this looks too hard or complex for something I'm saying is easy, this character isn't for you tbh

Every character has unique pieces to buy and typically in matching tops and legs, but not every character has one of the full unique top+bottom set

I hope they fix these connection lost and desync issues. When the match actually works, it works phenomenally.

I keep getting distracted by the littlest things.
I have been doing treasure fighting, on a rooftop and it has started raining.
Clothing started as normal and is now very wet.
Someone came out with a cake on their head.
As we fight, slices keep falling to the ground on little plates with little forks and the cake gets smaller and smaller on their head.

I had to turn the difficulty down to Easy for those fights, and then I
just mashed buttons until his stupid SF moves came out.
Eddie Gordo and awesome should never be anywhere near the same sentence.

I generally get 7 or so drops before getting a match.
I did Lobby with one friend, and Lobby with two friends earlier and both worked fine.
We did like 15 matches
Lobby works fine (like, really fine), but there's some problems with random opponents at the moment it seems.
Not alone, I have yet to successfully join a lobby at all on ps4. same errors as quick match trying to join.
Really irritated at the online in this.
I've been playing Ling and Law since I was a kid, but, is it me or those characters generally have much safer approach options?Are you on right now? What is your PSN ID

Is there a way to turn off all customisations when playing online? They're really distracting and ugly
Seeing this question a lot, so here's my take:
Every character in Tekken has every tool. You basically can't pick a wrong character. In Tag 2 I think every arcade character made the top 8 in a major, so don't worry about tiers. For Tekken 7 it was also a conscious effort to make the new characters easy to learn for newcomers, so they've got smaller movelists and are a good place to start. Generally I would recommend starting with someone within this selection. Their execution barrier is lower. That said you can really start with anyone, but I'd recommend against Mishimas because of execution or stance/knowledge heavy characters (aka Ling).
- Asuka
- Claudio
- Feng
- Gigas
- Jack
- Josie
- Katarina (probably easiest, one button juggles)
- Kazumi
- King
- Lars
- Leo
- Miguel
- Paul
- Shaheen
- Akuma (2D players)
Few other tips:
1. Poke hard. Stay moving, in all directions. Try not to get your back against the wall. Focus on single hits, hitting your opponents when they miss. Sidestep dodge into a launcher is basic as hell but will get you easy wins at a low level. You probably don't know punishment very well, so start with jabs if you think something is unsafe.
2. Go in to practice mode. Go through the move list. You can stick moves to the screen to practice. Learn the sample combos. Tekken juggles are more about knowledge and adapting than execution. So while it may be tough to remember at first, when you've got it down, it's second nature and super easy. Once you know what you're doing, for most of the cast it's kind of tough to screw it up.
3. Abandon your 2D knowledge. Links, jumping, most strings, projectiles, none of them are really a thing unless you're playing Akuma.
4. Story mode is kind of stupid and it often breaks the rules of the game. I know Harada said to play it, but I don't think it's a good reflection of proper play. Sidesteps don't make you immune in real Tekken, homing moves (check your movelist for the BLUE icon!) are designed to catch them!
5. Losing is great. Cherish losing. Play against good players, figure out what doesn't work and stop doing it! Figure out what works and keep making it work! It's free to be free on console (okay, well PS+), you're not spending $1 a game at an arcade. Continually playing against better players is the #1 way to get good quickly.

You are in Germany mate?
Most people set their bar for connection very high, many also may be ignoring the same area part
Spoilers for last boss below.
It's doable in normal, but it took me a while.
Until he's at half health you can focus on using hell lancer and electrics to punish his moves, you will want to be sidestepping more or less the whole time whilst he's doing stuff. You can get a decent damage punish with two electrics followed with the story assist screw, followed by hell lancer. If he hits you with a focus he'll only do a crouching punch into fireball. Sometimes he'll use ex tatsu, which can be punished pretty easily if you block.
Once he's below half health you need to bait and punish his focus, you need to use the B+LKRK warp to move away from it in time, and it's not easy to react to his focus as it's so quick and the range is ridiculous, so just use the warp regardless if it looks like he's gonna focus or not. You can continue to punish with electrics and hell lancer when he throws any fireballs at close range as long as you sidestep in time.
Once he has no health he'll instantly use raging demon, you need to react to this with your rage art.

Does anyone find that the volume on the classic songs is really low compared to the T7 soundtrack?
Pop-O-Matic

Probably different mixing/mastering standards between the older songs and the new ones. The newer a recording is, the more likely it's gonna be mastered loudly.
If I cared about the Tekken lore I'd be pretty livid. It's hilarious how bad the story mode is.
It's really bad. But on the upside, it is a fighting game story so you expect it to be bottom of the barrel awful.
Game's otherwise alright, I guess. Master Raven, Chloe and Katarina have been fun to lab. I kind of wish they'd make Chloe less bad, though. She has the damage but she's so massively punishable on everything.
Also, Namco should fix the ranked on PS4. I've gotten to play zero matches so far. Lobbies work fine, though.
- Retconning Heihachi's actions as anything approaching heroic is a wtf moment
- Never getting to play as Jin but we do get to play Lars of Duty
- It's all fine and well to have the player play cutscenes from previous games but could they at least have done something to revamp them? It's especially bad in Nina's character story where you get to see T3 cutscenes in glorious 240p
- I like the framing device of having a journalist narrate the events but dude just sounds so bored
- None of the character motivations make a lot of sense. Who's fighting for who? And why?
- The end of the Mishima saga is... a cliffhanger.

Noticed that tonight when I was listening to a T1 track. However it's fine on T5 tracks. I'm not sure when it started.
I've noticed that too. Tag 2 songs are quite loud but the early songs aren't. Have to either deal with it or adjust bgm volume constantly.
Her combos are not easy though.

Granted I almost never have any issues with execution in fighting games but I found her combos to be easy to do once you get them down.

Kind of interested in the game, I have two short questions though:
- Is there any difference between ordering the digital deluxe edition straightaway and getting the base version plus ordering the season pass later?
- Is the game optimized for ps4 pro (e.g. higher res, added effects?!)?

The digital deluxe edition is literally just the base game + season pass so you should just get the base version for now if you're unsure.
Yes the game runs at a native 1080p on the PS4 Pro as compared to 900p for the PS4.

Thank you! That confirms my gut feeling to buy the base game.
