Might sell people on the game. I know that's not our job, but again, new news, new thread makes sense.

How is there not more uproar about how shockingly bad Tekken 7 is online on PS4?

Regular matchmaking hasnt worked at all for me since last night. Only lobbies and tournaments seem to work. It's infuriating.
It's getting there; some people are having luck in lobbies, but I can't get any match online.
It's a damn shame the online is even in such a state on PS4, especially when considering that the PC release seemed to knock the ball out of the stratosphere in that department.
This is another big issue that I have; you have a game that is still pretty fun at all levels even when you're losing. GG is fun, but can seem like some really insane, insurmountable shit if you don't know what's going on. Good thing GG offers a tutorial which, while not perfect, introduces people to the basics on how the game can be played.
It just blows my mind from a newcomer perspective that this came with absolutely nothing. You could have hooked quite a few new players more than otherwise by just introducing a tutorial system worth a damn. And "just check online" is never, ever, EVER an excuse.

I Really don't know. It's so obnoxious. Like just give me a confirmation that they are aware of the issue and working on it. But so far nothing at all. It's like the problem doesn't even exist.
ANyone have a twitter? Can someone tweet Harada about this?

Yeah, and you won't even know if you like playing for a long time, because you won't really understand his gameplan and general strategy for some time.
Games like Injustice and SFV aren't much better. They do have tutorials but the tutorial content in those games is pretty bad. Both Injustice and SFV teaches you all sorts of weird moves and combos, most of which aren't useful, and it doesn't contextualise them with where and when you should try to use them. While completely skipping over core fundamentals like anti-airs and pokes.
Fighting games will die, especially as esports, if they don't address this issue and show people how to play the game.

Thanks good find.
Also here is a character overview: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nbewxse8DlI
And if anyone goes to Tekken Zaibatsu and YouTube Level Up Your Game with RIP, tons of information.
Honestly even 10 year olds have tons of access to the internet. No company can match what the collective community provides for information.
It not hard finding turtorials and information in today's world.

High praise but the game is fire. I love it too.
Harada is replying to people and mentioning that they will work on it while offering advice like the "wait for the pop up" trick.
SFV is much harder to a beginner than T7.
My friends tell me they eased the input windows and slowed the game speed down in general ,yet to me it seemed to me neckbreakingly difficult.
2D games are much more difficult and obtuse. I am genuinely surprised they tend to be more popular.
I found KoFXIII to be borderline unplayable hard on the other hand ,and I spend hours in practice mode trying to make sense of it.

Is that in reference to the connection issues or to the thing Knee and other people were complaining about with people being able to skip fights based on wins.
Both.

What is the "wait for the popup" trick?
The hype got to me and I bought this, despite never really getting into Tekken previously. Probably going to be on those guys and just go with Akuma from the start. Having no other characters I am remotely familiar with, I think that will be the easiest way for me to learn how to play.
Edit: I bought it before reading about all the issues online. I've had good luck in the past, so I hope I'm able to play with my usual group.

The online is staggeringly bad. What the heck ... it looks like a lot of neat options, but nothing works right. Can't do a single quick match, if I try to view other fights in a tournament it locks up or just stops allowing anything to happen so you're stuck in the tournament until everyone else finishes. Sync issues. Just, ugh ... how is it so bad?
Should get some good reactions

Most of it information that uses short hand which people need to look up. Then look up another guide to show how to do that, let's say IWS.
None of the information is complete or centralised. Most of it is years old from tekken 6 or tag 2.
It's not impossible and I'm really enjoying learning tekken 7. Having a great time and putting the work in.
But that's no excuse for not having proper tutorials and challenges in game. Especially when plenty of games have come out recently and showed how it should be done. I.e. Guilty gear. Hell of a complex game but has tutorials a basic newcomer can understand and vets can learn from.
Played for about an hour so far. Absolutely love it. Also surprised by how good my muscle memory is--haven't played in best part of a decade but my Nina, Jin, and Lili all seem alright.
Cannot get a single online match though. Got matched with a couple of opponents but connection was lost before I left the practice thing. Come on, Namcooooo.

Yup, PC version seems fine on my end too. Been playing non-stop rank and non-ranked matches.

Thanks!
In last nights stream MarkMan on first try finished the most difficult (10) fight in story. There is a pattern, its all about knowing it.

Yea I don't think your wrong in the sense it would be nice to have a tutorial in game. I agree with you it would be nice.
Reguardless, there is a centralized community location, Tekken Zaibatsu, Youtube Level Up Your Game, and to help you just so you know 90% of what works in Tekken 6 will still be applicable in T7.
Good luck!

Try creating a player match session. I've been good for a full hour or so.

So tournament seems to be the only mode that even remotely works on the PS4.
Sooo whose trying to get a scrub tournament going?

Virtua Fighter is way easier on a beginner than Tekken.
Tekken's movement is so absurdly complex for a lot of people to comprehend.

For sure. But new player is looking through a move list as see's combo. 'while standing'. "What? I am standing, why doesn't this work?"
Looks up the instant while standing (should definitely be rising) tutorial and see's people talking about crushes. 'ok what's a crush?'
Looks it up and understands. 'Ok what moves have this property?' 'Just gotta know 'em bro'.
See where this could all be solved in game?
But yeah, been getting a lot of mileage off Tekken 6 and TT2 videos and posts. Especially as I'm learning Drag and he doesn't seem to have changed much.

Has namco said anything about broken matchmaking on PS4? Any updates/patches coming today?

I discovered this as well! At least something works online with this.
Ugh, not happy to hear that. That's some shit straight from the bible of NRS boss design and even they cut back on that armor bullshit in IJ2

Online seems worse now on PS4.
Now it doesn't even find matches to display in Match list for ranked.
And I hardly believe there are only 2 available lobbies for player matches right now (settings are "Any", and of course I was unabkle to join said sessions). When I created one, I waited for 10 minutes without anyone joining....
I sincerely hope that means they are working on it RIGHT NOW.
That's pretty bad, because the product itself is fine as always. What were they doing since early 2017??? Harada pls!

Works fine for me in a lobby
People are still going through the single player contents, hopefully they will get their shit together soon otherwise i would regret passing over Injustice 2 to get this game instead.
Dude right? I double dipped and picked up the PC version as an afterthought just to give Namco some more love, but I've been on that more than I have on the PS4. It's just crazy good. For those who have the ability to, I would highly recommend getting this for PC over the PS4.
If I knew the PC version would have functional online and the PS4 wouldn't I would have gotten the pc version in a heartbeat but alas
