Difficulty to use wise:
Taunt jet upper is incredibly difficult to be consistent with.
He has to do the hard version of backdash cancelling.
Magic 4 combos require great timing to catch the initial hit into jab.
His best combos have some difficult timings.
He has no real panic buttons / strong high crushes.

I also have trouble with this kick into sway cancel thing, whatever it's called
Sidestep crouch cancels are a bitch for me. I'm just jumping like a horny flea.
I'll never get a handle of them.

I'm curious on how much more lag one can expect streaming a game.

That and being consistent with crouch dash cancel into WS moves makes it hard for me to learn Dragunov.
And Ive managed to win 10 times twice in a row with bryan, I've never done that before. No wonder why is he the most picked at the arcades.
Yeah I was about to say, Orbital is definitely a great panic move and its safe.
What scares me the most about Bryan is his strong CH game, almost everything seems to be a launch.

Still harder than almost all the cast to use to his full potential.

I think it's way too early. Let's say they announce the date tomorrow, they have to build interest & hype and you don't do this in only one month.
(I hope i'm wrong tho'

That's not early 2017 though, right?
No. But I have this feeling they'll delay it a bit. Hell, delaying is becoming more and more frequent in this industry anyway lol.
Yep light crouch dash. It's more of a thing with timing than execution. I have to practice more.
As if.
We're already in "Early 2017" and we still don't have a release date. Maybe a delay? I don't know.
June sounds really pessimistic though. There would be no reason to delay it so much.

I am going with March as well, next month is too generous lol.

My guess is Early April.
I'm gonna say March. If it released in February-March it would line up with when 5 released in the US/JAPAN which is the only release date for a Tekken that's happened earlier in the year (along with 3 which released in April). Idk, given a worldwide release these days that's perfect. All the other Tekkens released late in the year.
I'll say March. April the latest.

But why hold off on announcing a release date for so long? Is there a reason to that? I can't think of a better opportunity than at their biggest tournament of the year. Unless they want to announce the release date at the Nintendo Switch event
Oh shit, no more delay because of one more platform to port to.

Doubt Namco cares about all the hype the game gets given how well they've done in arcades. They're probably like "fuck it, let's release it soon and get it out there and keep on pushing" and that's what they'll do. They don't need those massive sales like Capcom.
What I wonder is how they'll handle dlc. I wonder if we'll get things like DLC characters over time or if it'll just be a "ok release this here and that'll be it" thing. What I personally want is a "TxSF DLC" attachment. Let that be the thing for TxSF and it keeps T7 around for some years before the next hits.
I doubt they would even go through the hassle of porting the game to consoles and PC and tell us about stuff like Story Mode if they didn't hope to profit from it. That would be too stupid even for Namco.
Played a couple hours of it via PS NOW. Played through time attack, ghost battles, and some online ranked matches. My sister came by and we pair played online, which was a lot of fun! We got stomped as expected tho haha
Compared to when I had it for PS3, it mostly feels like the game I remember. The DLC tekken tunes music I had purchased was still there too.
There is definitely extra delay in my button presses registering tho, which has made combos I used to do with Lili and other characters frustrating. I dont know how much specific lag there is, but it is noticeable.
Cannot recommend for competitive players, because of the lag, but at least its very serviceable for some offline fun and having pair play back on ps4 will be awesome next time I have a party
*Still need/want Tekken 7 already lol..
There's a difference between hoping to profit from it and needing to get massive sales like Capcom. Yeah they want to profit from it, no one says they don't. They won't be needing to receive the sales Capcom needs for the profit however given their business model.
But releasing the game that way is just sloppy. This will end up the same as Tekken 6 back in 2009, maybe even worse. That's why I'm asking what's been holding them off all this time?
People forgot about Tekken as a whole over the last few years. "Sloppy" is what I would call their whole handling of the series in general :/
T6's promotion was massive though. I remember the promotion being so crazy it was promoting WWE ppvs and even Tapout was promoting it. Harada even said it sold 3.5M copies in 1.5 years which is great. TTT2 on the other hand, man they rarely promoted that, the release was a surprise. I do know that T7's being promoted way more than TTT2 was but not as much as T6, not even close. They need to promote the game more. I think they were making so much in the arcades they kept racking up money and now, given they have enough, they'll just release it for console. That arcade model was too great for them.
But yeah I agree we need them to go full speed ahead with T7 promotion.
Shooting for early December 2017 myself.

That's pretty generous dude, I'm thinking early 2018.
Were they really promoting T6 that heavy compared to T5 and before though? I remember not even knowing that a T6 even released back when I got a PS3 in 2009.
Yeah T6 was heavily promoted from what I saw. Whenever I turned on WWE they had a T6 commercial playing like every other break and there was even something online with it talking about "who's the best Tekken fighter" ala like an actual fight thing. Like with UFC or something, they showed 2 characters and fans voted to see who'd win if I remember right? Maybe that part was IGN or Gamespot. It was an interesting time but around that time the Tekken/Tapout thing came to play with characters having Tapout shirts. Mind you, interestingly enough, Tapout is owned by WWE now. I never saw that type of promotion with TTT2. T3 was heavily promoted. Idk about 4.
T5 was what sponsored a WWE ppv though I believe it was Backlash. That game was pushed.

This is the year of Tekken.

Because you want to be very sure of your release date, to synch up with your marketing efforts. You make your big release statement a year before, and even IF you hit it, unless you have a sustained marketing push, all your hype will fade by release.
This applies double for a game in what's a fairly niche market now, that likely won't have a massive advertising budget.

I hope they take a page out of NRS' book and start doing regular shows with character demos or reveals or other bits of news leading up to release. Or even just do the 101 on new or returning characters, i'm sure there's lots of people looking to get into T7 who'd be happy with something like that.

Rip did something like that pre TTT2 launch and it was sponsored by Namco so I can see them doing it again.
Thanks. That's the answer I was looking for.
