"We'd like to make the new game accessible and enjoyable to these players as well, and at the moment we're thinking about implementing some kind of new system that will make them think "hey, I can actually do this". We'd like very much to get these sorts of fans to participate in the games more actively."

Maybe a "beat the string mode" after all eh? By the sounds of it the excuse of "Tekken is too hard" is no longer going to be valid for prospective T7 players.

Ramza · 27-07-2014 6:01pm

I personally wouldn't say Tekken is "harder" than any other FG out there, it's just that the learning curve is higher and takes exponentially more dedication and effort to reach a mid-high level in the game, IMO

Fergus_ · 27-07-2014 6:05pm

Just don't add another Bob pls

Ixayek_usurper · 27-07-2014 6:56pm

@BSG:
It's a really good interview. You can really see that Harada tries so hard to understand and address as many concerns as possible.
He spoke a bit about making the casual player more aware of the depth of the game whilst still allowing them to enjoy the game regardless of that depth.
If he walk's the walk, this could be the best tekken yet.

Worried a little about the wake-up system though. Wonder how/what they'll change.

Realy pleased they're making it largely story focused.

A potential new character. Harada and co. were asking for feedback from the Middle Eastern Tekken community on the design.

If you ask me, he looks like Miguel with a turban.

BigStupidGuy · 11-08-2014 3:52pm

Yeah there's a surprisingly good scene over there, particularly in Pakistan where the standard is.... scary.

Ramza · 11-08-2014 5:40pm

Prince of Persia in Tekken, sick

BigStupidGuy · 11-08-2014 6:03pm

Kinda reminds me of Etizo AC

Macal · 11-08-2014 6:55pm

I've heard of the Pakistan scene. Apparently Asim isn't even one of the best there. Apparently he got DQ'd at SVB on sat though for not showing up in a loser's bracket match.

BigStupidGuy · 11-08-2014 8:31pm

Really? God is there any links to SVB videos and results?

Macal · 11-08-2014 9:32pm

Boom. These matches are the top 12 (after Asim got DQ'd). Should be more uploads on the way.

BigStupidGuy · 11-08-2014 10:49pm

Thanks!

ryanakabyitz · 13-08-2014 8:37pm

can anyone confirm that kazumi and hehachis names appear on his tekken 2 stage or if that image was a photoshop ?

Fergus_ · 14-08-2014 12:10pm

It's confirmed, her name has been around since T2 and no one caught onto it til recently, pretty nuts lol

murphyebass · 14-08-2014 2:50pm

Any release dates being put out there for Tekken 7?

Also will it be new consoles only or will 360 / ps3 see a release?

I skipped over TT2 but could be tempted to give this a go if I can get it for my 360.

Scavenger XIII · 14-08-2014 3:39pm

It's just been announced and there's no ingame material available whatsoever, a release date is a long way off.

NoviGlitzko · 14-08-2014 3:44pm

Did they not announce something like May recently? Could be imagining things.

It's plausible if they're just keeping things under wraps but I wouldn't expect a realistic release date before gameplay footage.

BigStupidGuy · 15-08-2014 2:31pm

Including the arcade release.... probably a year before consoles?

Keep your eyes peeled.

BigStupidGuy · 11-09-2014 4:35am

Oh, kewl!

Macal · 14-09-2014 10:29am

Some location tests for T7 will be going down in Japan Oct 3-5

Plus, some new character artwork. First off, Kaz.

T7Kaz.jpg

and Hei

Scavenger XIII · 14-09-2014 12:46pm

Oh, this should be interesting. Tekken seems to have stagnated a fair bit in the last few versions so I hope they freshen it up somehow.

Macal · 20-09-2014 9:21am

http://www.avoidingthepuddle.com/news/2014/9/20/new-female-character-revealed-for-tekken-7.html

So, new character, Catalina. Female Savate kickboxer.

Fergus_ · 20-09-2014 9:38am

Not a big fan of the outfit but interesting otherwise :O

There is another 'yet to be revealed' character to be playable at the October location test, is described to have an emphasis on a new mechanic which the Tekken team hasn't tried before but you may be familiar with in 2D fighting games.

Pls no meter in tekken, PLS no meter in tekken.

..............PLS NO INVINCIBLES

BigStupidGuy · 20-09-2014 9:51am

Fireballs? Eliza???

Exciting times!

K.O.Kiki · 03-10-2014 1:25am

BigStupidGuy · 03-10-2014 8:01am

He looks kinda cool... man screw Asuka, I'll have to try all these new characters and string people to death.

Macal · 03-10-2014 8:56am

Why is Maxi gonna be in T7?

Never mind, Feng has been confirmed. Woot,woot!

Macal · 03-10-2014 9:06am

Might as well write down the confirmed roster;

Claudio
Katarina
Kazuya
Heihachi
Lars
Alisa
Asuka
Lili
Xiayou
Feng
Paul
Law
Steve
Leo
Hwoarang
King
Dragunov
Bryan

A good explanation of the new mechanics for T7.

BigStupidGuy · 03-10-2014 9:40am

There's so many videos of gameplay out now, kind of crazy!

They added in these 2D ultras as well lol, so cool. I like the look of the new game overall, I think it's going to help the franchise, especially in regards to getting new players interested, which should always be the main goal.

NoviGlitzko · 03-10-2014 10:06am

Agreed BSG, it should help the series.

I'm a little concerned about the ultra's. They look like a flashy throw. Are they unblockable?

The only character I play with that's confirmed is Paul. I'd imagine Yoshi will eventually be added but I worry about AK. He's a lot of fun to use. Overall, I think it's a step forward. With bound gone it'll hopefully encourage people to stop spamming hopkicks making it easier for beginners (though juggles look to deal considerable damage regardless). I read that the graphics are being run on 50-60% which is amazing. I can't wait to see what it looks like when I put it in the PS4 for the first time.

Hyped! Any word on a release date?

Macal · 03-10-2014 10:36am

The supers are confirmed to blockable, Novi.

I can't imagine they'll leave Yoshi behind. However, I saw a King match where he used AK's f+2,1. Apparently in T4 King had some of AK's moves from in TTT1 transferred over to him. I think that's a sign that AK is gone. Kazuya also has Devil Jin's b+4, which implies he'll be gone as well.

Jun_DP101 · 03-10-2014 10:42am

Does power crush work similarly to focus attack? Seems that way.

You apparently don't have any recoverable health if you succeed nor can you dash cancel out of it. Seems more situational than focus attacks.

BigStupidGuy · 03-10-2014 10:59am

I think that maybe they might kill off Jin at the start of this game you know that? It's weird that he's not in the beta test and the game seems to focus on Kaz and Hei overall.

I'm calling it lol, Jin's not going to be in this game. I'd say AK is gone also. It also seems like the new girl is a replacement for Baek kind of?

Macal · 03-10-2014 11:00am

Dunno about that, her fighting style doesn't like much like Savate.

NoviGlitzko · 03-10-2014 11:26am

Any other big omissions? Doesn't look like Kuni will be in it either.

Nothing about a release date?

"Heihachi Mishima... is dead."

They tried that one 10 years ago.

Fergus_ · 03-10-2014 1:06pm

I'm really really not liking the power crush thing, armour in general is a pretty dumb mechanic.

Rage Art looks meh, figured they were gonna add in something like that.

I have a feeling that power crushes will be situational. They apparently only absorb highs and mids but not lows. Not gonna be very useful against characters with really good lows like Feng or Hwoarang. You apparently also take damage from the absorbed moves.

I'm not crazy about the Rage Art either but I'm glad this "2D mechanic" that they implemented was done without arbitrarily introducing meters.

Jun_DP101 · 03-10-2014 1:44pm

Hope Bruce and lucky box makes it

Fergus_ · 03-10-2014 3:24pm

No backroll catches in tekken 7 apparently.

Nope, not gonna get into it, no oki = no fun.

I wouldn't get too worked up at this stage, wait a while longer and see what they decide on before the final release. I'm sure they'll be some oki elements.

A lot of it was quite insane if I do say so myself, like that Bryan 50/50 in T6 between the taunt and the db2 reset. Just dumb because he won or drew either way!

NoviGlitzko · 03-10-2014 5:33pm

That's another positive to take I think. Oki options were limited in TTT2 'cos it didn't make much sense attempting stuff as you would lose a great deal of damage. In T6 I had some setups with Yosh that I'll be looking forward to bring back. The amount of times I'd catch people with b,b,1+2. xD

Quoting because you're totally lying to your future self. :pac:
