Nah, you just don't want to admit because SFV is the established punching bag.

It's an established punching bag because it earned it's punching bad reputation. (To be fair it's still a good game, just not much past PvP)

However, don't crap on NAMCO becuase they have done a solid release. Majority of people seem very happy with Story mode, Then unlockable past tekken game(s) story modes for Tekken 1,2,3,4,5,6 the jukebox feature, then the unlockable stores for each new and old character in the game. Treasure mode to unlock more items. not to mention the new game mode in the DLC and characters. Plus NAMCO promising to support the game well into 2018...

Letggit critisim is always welcome like poor PS4 online play.

However I've been playing on PS4 online all week.

But I can only play lobbies, if you play lobbies you will get games.

If you choose not to play lobbies then you will not get games online until next week. That is legit critisim.

Gonna study this video hard lol

I feel like I'm sorely lacking in this area, possibly because I'm just doing sidestep timing like in VF5 where you actually get like a special step that moves you the hell out of the way if you did it right >_>

To be honest spacing (position) is what separates the men from the boys in the Tekken world. Get good at universal back dash. Once you get spacing down and can make your opponent Whiff, and then punish the whiff with a launcher, your on your way to playing good Tekken.

Y'know. When people on PS4 are scrounging for matches with this shit online, you'd think people wouldn't rage quit. Like come the fuck on.

Sorry! Thought you were asking if the overall damage scaled depending on how much life the opponent had

Then yes, Rage Arts are more powerful the less health you have, but I don't know precisely how much

Bullshit amounts at times. (Not saying this because I'm salty from losses, had a good night online)

But times when you get someone down to a pixel, and they throw out a raw rage art and does near 50% of your bar and kills.

Feels bad man.

If their health was that low, you could have just hit them and they would've died most likely.

Man, the more I think about, it, T5 and DR were amazing. They banged out T5's home release three years after 4, and while it wasn't great balance-wise, it was content complete with all the expected modes, a bonus side-mode, the arcade versions of Tekken 1-3, and had 9 characters over the previous game (including almost every classic character that had been dropped after Tekken 2). Then a year later, they banged out an update that added three more characters and more than doubled the stage count (36 stages total, 7 more than even Tag 2 had), while rebalancing the game.

The music between both games being dope is just icing on the cake.

Man I'd love to see them put out a virtuoso release like that again.

I think T8 will probably be more full-featured out of the gate due to having an established engine they're comfortable with. Though in a year's time T7 will certainly feel more fleshed out after all the DLC drops.

Yeah I was just thinking about T5 having all the prior Tekkens as emulations. Considering how much of a retrospective T7's story is, it's a shame they didn't include the old games in this release. Plus it would've been great to have 1-3 on the PS4.

I don't really get how to block Rage Arts yet. I mean I understand that each one has a different block, but there's no visual indicator that one is coming. By the time the animation starts you're already dead if you weren't blocking.

I hope the Ps4 online is borked because of the amount of players exceeding Namco's expectations.

Was thinking this should have had an online play Beta... but SFV had one too and we know how that turned out. Didn't help. Issues seem to be specifically for PS4 too.

As for content, I am mildly disappointed. Its not SFV bad but its worse than past Tekken games. I didn't really enjoy story mode. Contrary to what Harada says you learn nothing here. Shortcut buttons and suddenly unblockable rage arts you have to counter by hitting them won't help you and the AI is annoying as fuck here.

At this rate I might've prefered Scenario Campaign. I actually liked the first half of that before it overstayed its welcome and enemies became sponges. I replayed it a lot for easy money and items and co-op was sort of stupid fun.

I think I may make Chloe my second main since Asuka is not working out for me. I don't know what it is since she hasn't changed that much. Played a ton of her in 5 and was fine with her in 6 and TTT2. I just can't get anything going with her right now.

My favorite is when I throw out a move that's positive on block and then they mash rage arts before my next attack.

Not sure if mashing or according to keikaku :v

PS4 people weren't joking. Went over a friend's house to play it on PS4 and we couldn't get a single ranked match to work. Least tournament mode seems to work most of the time.

The PS4 version makes me wonder wtf they were working on in all these years and during the delay. Also whats up with these ugly oversized atrocious customizations (even the shirts don't fit any character, except for the 2?! character specific costumes).

That's not true.

As long as you aren't doing an action/attack you can block when the animation starts. That's assuming it's block-able.

You just have to be really careful when your opponent is low, not to make any risky plays which they can punish you with the art.

Does anyone else have problems sidestepping on a stick? For some reason I seem to be crouching twice more instead of sidestepping. :(

Happened with me for a while too. You need to do the action quicker. Basically return it to neutral as soon as the switch clicks.

I'm personally really struggling with backdash cancelling on stick.

A little pet peeve of mine is the clouds staying static during training stage. Makes it look like some PS2 game. Make it dynamic.

Thanks, I guess I'll have to send it to the lab.

I can't do it anywhere. I've seen videos of people doing it on pad, but just can't replicate it.

Here where:

This thread I've seen more positive than negative. But lets look at hard numbers:

Metacritic is very well positive. ( I dont link to it becuase I think I have heard people say GAF does not like any links to metacritic?)

Also Stream has overwhelmingly positive responses with well over 2000 responders.

So thats where, [Please insert in-your-face meme here]

tried to make Asuka look like Chie (from Persona 4) but the hair options and the bulky clothes just don't work. at least Katarina and Xiaoyu came out ok...ish.



also, HelloMeato™

That's a really good Chie. I had an awesome Chie in Tag 2 with the pins and everything. I spent way more time on that one than I'd like to admit lol. There aren't enough hair options in the customization in T7 compared to TTT2.

It's still bad, but I've been getting matches more than I have been on day 1.

Also, is it possible to turn off voice chat completely?
