Geezas, that's some cruel ass shit, haha.
Panda is shit, I don't see the charm in pandas generally, fuckers go extinct for a reason.
But Kuma, no, no. He's a true veteran. Deserves to have mid boss status at least.
Problem is they made him retarded like Paul and Panda pulled him down in this direction even further.
Kuma was excusable back in Tekken 3 and even Tekken 5 when I wouldn't expect Namco to have a very well animated animal. The technology limitations let me forgive the dumb design and let them keep it as a side thing to laugh at.
With them doing nothing but ramp up character models (rather than more important areas like art) Kuma will just look fucking retarded the way he is now. And since they're recycling the animations as well I want Kuma to stay the hell away until Namco can animate him properly.
But at this point, I don't think they even care about how it looks. I guess they simply want it to be a carnival of stupid like the TTT2 fight lab with Lucky Chloe ballerina's and dancing bears with Tekken 3 animations everywhere. /shrug Might as well expect the worst with what we've seen so far.

Tekken Crash with Tekken 7 tournament in like 12 hours?!
Did I read that right?
Shaheen in this build and Alisa is out because they have to censor the chainsaws? What?

I honestly don't see a problem with how Kuma/Panda animates.
I don't think it's a matter of being lazy. Their development ideology seems to have been to create an "iconic image." While I disagree with that approach, I can't really quit Tekken solely because the default designs haven't evolved for a decade. This all started with Tekken 5 too. I think the team has this idea that with customizations in the game now, people can create whatever they want and they want to keep the default character look the same.
But now we're seeing Lars, Law, and Kazuya in different designs and it looks so much fresh and better and I can only imagine how good it would have been for all the characters to have received similar treatment. I'm also thinking they are going to get Nina out of that purple suit finally. I wouldn't mind having the Blood Vengeance design as her default from now on.
Obviously you haven't seen a real fighting bear.

I prefer Kuma using a human/animistic style of fighting. Since when have we gone for realism in Tekken?
I was joking.

Whelp those who slept in didn't missing anything. The Tekken Crash session is just the old build, no Shaheen, no new stages. Guess that is to be expected with the pathetic marketing this game is getting.... the get this huge event that gets streamed on Korean national TV but they don't care enough to show us something new.
Things I didn't know from before;
-Lili has a new stance where she twirls around like King's 3+4 Jaguar step
-Katarina's WS launcher didn't punish Dragunov's d/b+3 which is -18. That means she's like Steve/Hwoarang where she doesn't have a 15 frame launcher like the majority of the other cast. I'mguessing her gameplay will be pretty stance heavy but so far we've just seen a dash similar to Angel's f+3. Wait and see. EDIT: I forgot, she has Alisa's hopkick with u/f+4,4 that bounds. Nvm, not like Hwoarang or Steve at all.
-Bryan's 3+4 on CH has less push back than in TTT2, guess he'll have access to better combo's?
-Lili's d/b+4 launches like Tekken Revolution
-King's d/b+1+2 does a twitch camera change like Paul's ff,2,1 but even more jolting. Not sure if it did it because it was at the end of the round.
-It looks like Paul's Iron Mountain (d+1+2) has reduced range, Narakhof tried to whiff punish with it and it wouldn't reach.
-Paul Techrolled after a knockdown and Hao ended the round with qcf+2 low shoulder. For some reason, the KO animation that happened was with Paul backturned... I'm not sure what that means but maybe this build has a glitch where characters recover from a techroll with initial frames being backturned?
Nothing else really happened.
EDIT: There was that exhibition match that Knee threw to that singer idol. He played Claudio and did some new things.

Let's just wait for the Arcade release to see Shaheen.
The Japanese released a new Combo Video. Just look at what they discovered at the end of the video^^

I missed most of the tournament unfortunately. Only saw the last two matches. Looked good from what I can see. Katarina looked really fun. Lack of Shaheen was disappointing though and I was REALLY hoping to see new stuff. This is the old build? Isn't the game coming out next month supposedly? Unless the more complete version is not completed enough to play in public yet.
Playing Dream Theater at the end of the stream made the show.

I'm watching the archive now and the background looks real good. Those trees swaying in the wind.
I also like the user interface and that the characters name is there along with the players name. Instead of the player name replacing the character name. That has always bothered me but seems to be fixed in Tekken 7.

Wasn't that just the stream software?
Oh yeah that's right.
Ah well, I hope the characters name will still be there, and if not, no big deal.
The Rage Arts seem to be easy to block. I'm excited about Tekken 7, even though it's lacking in some parts.
Do we know if the Hori V3 arcade stick will be supported on PS4? Hori haven't made any of their PS3 sticks work on PS4 right?

Yeah the rehearsed the show before airing. It's likely the newer build freezed like 2 times and Harada said: Kuso! Shimata! Load the old build. Fast!"
I hope we'll get a new trailer. Without any special occasion bullshit.

The only interesting part about it was Claudio. He began to turn red the longer he had the flame hand. Come on great great great great grandson of Maxi, unleash that Spirit Bomb!

I can see the benefits of the new bound system now.
It knocks them away before splatting them, so if a wall is nearby, it hits that first. Then, you can follow up with a bound and finisher.
This is an improvement because you don't have to alter your combos as much for wall carry. Or, in other words, wall carry is inherently part of all combos now.
Best of both worlds.

Unrelated to Tekken but I had a question, How do you give people the $10 PSN codes for the tournaments? I want to give a friend some Virtual PSN money, where do you buy it and how do you get a code for it that you can send to someone?
It's simple. Buy a digital code on Amazon for example.
I also played some ranked today. My Hwoarang was close to demotion and I had to face a demotion match 4 times before I gave up and went to World Arena. There I met HarryPotter. Amazing player, crazy wavedash. He went easy on me, so he won 3-2 at the end.
Don't they send you a physical copy? I just want a code.
And even if it was a physical copy it would make no difference, because the card is nothing but a digital code printed on something
How the hell are you only in green ranks? You seemed to have solid reaction times and good punishes when we played. That alone should be enough to get you into the reds easily really. Is it just because my characters are weak on the gimmicks and you're having trouble dealing with the gimmickland of ranked?

Sasuke has everything to destroy ranked players. He has the skill set. He just respects opponents too much. Doesn't pressure every time he has the chance. Like backdashes when opponent's at the wall instead of pin him up with every dirty mixup there is. Too often Sasuke gives space and time to figure out strategy against him. That's why when we play I point out to him that he's better when he's aggressive, when he limits opponent's options by pressuring and don't gives freedom to just eg. fire up a 25 frame guard breaking plus frames move. I just want to make my buddy more mean of a fighting machine, hehe. Safety of the trigger.
Thanks for the compliments guys^^
Yeah, I kind of try to please my opponent a bit too much and play it safe. I know how to backdash, so I backdash wayy too much. Someone wrote a hatemail once telling me I should stop "camping" xD
I talked about this to a friend of mine who is also a Hwo/Steve player and reached Pugilist a few times already. He says that if I played more aggressive I could easily become an Avenger and that my combos were already at Vanquisher level. I don't take enough risks and wait for an opening instead of creating one by pressuring my opponent with my Flamingo and Peekaboo mixup. By being so passive I'm open to my opponent's pressure. I give him time to think and adjust to the situation.
Another thing is what you already pointed out. I whiff attacks from across the screen and don't attack in the right situation. I try to play my own game too much instead of playing against my opponent. Thinking that it would be cool to use this move in that situation won't make it hit
I'll manage to do it though, I promise. I'll be really mean and let the hatemails flow. I rarely get hatemails for my Hwo/Steve gameplay. Got way more for Xiaoyu/Leo because of Xiaoyu's gimmicks.

Just watched the highlights from Tekken Crash. Not taking what I'm seeing too seriously because it's an early build and things will change. Paul's ability to demo man at the wall no matter what positioning will hopefully be fixed. Also lack of proper punishment for things as basic as deathfist drives me crazy. It's brand new and nobody knows anything but it still bugs me.

I buy it from Amazon. Pretty straight forward from there. It gives you a code and you send it to them.

Alex Valle brought up some good reasons to not use Challonge, so XFire it is. We were close to filling up the 16 man bracket last week. Let's see if Tekken fans can force me to push it to 32.
