TR is exactly like Buckaroo.

D4RK ONION

Is there a comical donkey that you can load with hilarious, colourful baggage in TR? Why wasn't I told?!

Doctor DooM

Bucakaroo for Celtic throwdown

Aurongroove

Nothing more satisfying though then predicting that one and only "unsuspecting Red Art", in the last round and punishing for full damage and a KO.

Macal

Yuu put up a tier list of the current build of the arcade version. Interesting to say the least. No reasoning is given though.

S: Shaheen, Kazuya, Marshall Law, Jack-7, Feng Wei, Devil Jin

A+: Josie Rizal, Ling Xiaoyu, Jin Kazama, Dragunov, Claudio, King

A: Lili, Alisa, Paul, Bryan, Hwoarang, Leo, Asuka, Heihachi

A-: Kazumi, Yoshimitsu, Lars, Steve, Katarina

B: Lucky Chloe, Gigas

Think he made a couple mistakes

If there's one thing I hate about "the Tekken community" it's tier-list discussion.

Well good news then.

Nobody here cares about them really except me.

Robert ninja

^ Indeed. Most people don't pay them much heed. They're more for reference. I myself only vaguely care more about competitive players' personal tier lists and how strong/weak they feel characters are in relation to each other. There's no objective tier list. Doesn't dictate what characters I'll ever play... just gives me a little context as to the character's strength at least according to competitive players if nothing else.

Aurongroove

They also don't allow for matchups, which is far more important.

"Awaken, raging fist"

Beats me what that could mean.

Robert ninja

Maybe it's the second version of the cabinets? Dark Resurrection, Bloodline Rebellions... edgy subtitles like that. Tekken 7: Awakening Fist or somethin' like that.

Pls no more crappy mechanics

Aurongroove

it's loads of new mechanics, and stuff to tie the story together.

Alpha bars, Every character gets a projectile attack, you just hold uf4 and the AI does an automatic combo if the hopkick lands, Sonic the hedgehog is going to be a guest character.

Christie now just flails around like a tangled up pair of wooden clappers, 4 feet off the ground. The player controlling her actually has to hold a complicated button combination just for her hit box to appear for the opponent.

Jin's son "Fan-serv-ee" and Jinpachi's father "Heizuya" are going to be announced, and Nina, Anna, Michelle, Asuka, Jun, Ling and Julia, were all involved in an unfortunate lab accident and they're all 17 year old again and virgins.

Macal

so for EVO 2k15 T7 has over 450 entrants. And now Namco Bandai have give a $30,000 pot bonus. And the game's not even technically out in the west. God only knows how much they'll start donating next year.

Tekken Crash pre-lims for anyone interested.

So the special announcement for today isn't really that special if you're not in Asia. There's an official Namco "World" tournament being hosted for T7 later on this year as part of the 20th anniversary.

Also, some changes to the next arcade update, Jack in particular seems to be getting a lot of nerfs.

Namco's business model is actually a joke.

A Global T7 tournament where only Japan + Korea has cabs.

They're just saving everyone time, since Japan-Korea GF is inevitable anyway :pac:

SDCC had little to nothing of real news for T7. Some interesting concept art was on display for the new characters and redesigns of the veterans.

Personally, I'm all over that Silver Yoshi.

Another system change to throws. Not something I'm too worried about as I tend to not to use throws a lot and almost only in advantageous situations.

Fergus_

....pls

Robert ninja

I want so much to be able to play this already

K.O.Kiki

So, throws are useless now huh?

No, you just need to think more now to use them. Great change

No, throws are still viable. The CH effect on them won't be that significant. I mean it took a long while (four months since arcade release) to discover this.

Robert ninja

Yeah we witnessed throws landing on some of the top players at recent tournaments. Definitely still part of the game.

Macal

Jesus this thread has been dead for over a month; finally some noteworthy news though

http://www.avoidingthepuddle.com/news/2015/8/31/91-tekken-net-new-tekken-7-customization-items-added.html

A new update to the Arcade version is getting released tommorow, very originally titled Version I. Some bugs are fixed and new customization are mentioned. New characters; not yet unfortunately.

Robert ninja

I wonder if the udpate fixes the framedrops that the cabinets are suffering from. That crap is not allowed in a FG and in the arcade no less.
