Interested to see how many people here will be playing TEKKEN,
so be sure to post if you are and what platform you plan on playing on.
Questions, tips, anything TEKKEN related is welcome here, since most concepts are rather universal in this particular game.

Tekken was the first game I played. I used to be really good on Alisa :^) outplaying koreans in the arcade :^) I MIGHT play some of it.

From what I can tell Hwoarang is still quite good. Flamingo pressure is still strong.

Added a few new homing moves, while decreasing his damage somewhat.

He also now has Baek's F+3.

Not so sure about him being busted. Akuma at the moment is rather odd to deal with it seems, basically having to adjust your play around dealing with some of his more dangerous moves.

Steve is 100% busted.

Does it still have the fuck awful input buffer 6 & Tag2 had? If so that's a deal breaker.

There are 3-8 frames of buffer in Tekken 7, to compromise with netplay. Haven't played the game myself, but according to most people who have in other countries, it still feels fine. Can't seem to find a consistent answer on that. Probably 8.

Tag 2 wasn't a very good game in my opinion, some mechanics that will only exist in Tag 2 and in no other Tekken game ever again. Rather pointless.

Akuma currently is weird due to him just being a weird character. He's a good character, on top of him being odd compared to the rest of the cast. Just a little strange. He's been nerfed about 100 times now and he still does well.

Going to be some kind of patch around day one, something to do with balance.

Also, Steve now has an Orbital Punch that's been extremely good for him, quite liking how the character is going myself.

If anyone here plays Yoshimitsu on the off chance, he's been given some of his old Tekken 3 moves. No sword stance knockdown sweep, and a combo starter with both sword stance and no sword stance. Can't recall the input atm.

I also main Jin, actually. Alt is King. Been playing Lars quite a bit since Tekken 6, but since he was created with bound in mind, sort of not doing so hot in this game.

Jin is doing great at the moment, due to his Electric Wind Hookfist now being a combo starter. Doesn't launch as high as a regular Mishima electric, but still a huge buff.

Law is doing pretty good this game too, so those are some solid picks. Yoshi still a little weird but getting better with those changes I mentioned before.

If any pros from Street Fighter 4 who already play Tekken decide to play Akuma, could be cool to see how they do.

Seems to be 8, not too bad. Pretty sure Street Fighter V has like 6 or something for a far less key input data intensive title.

I used to play a lot of Alisa :^) I used to spam back+3+4 when I was a noob.

It'll be fun learning her new combo's :^)

Sign me up for all three!

Currently Steve and Hwoarong are pretty much the only two most everyone agrees are the best characters in Tekken 7 currently.

Hwoarong was given some of Baek's moves, so you shouldn't worry about that.

In regards to Steve not doing well against some characters, he does well against basically any character right now. Does a ton of damage with relatively simple inputs. Got a new safe duck cancel and a simple 1-1-2 can also be cancelled. Pretty damn good, not to mention the orbital punch bouncing combo starter.

Kazuya is now god with Jinpachi's df 1+2 and a ton of tailspin moves, his 1-1-2 wall splats now with the rest of the Mishima's. Pure hell. Not like he wasn't already good.

With the new throw break system, King is now quite good as well. His safe moves still exist with the godlike homing back 3, they've also made his combos easier with a metric ton of damage.

Going to be interesting certainly.
