Found some interesting stuff from TZ.
Source: http://www.tekkenzaibatsu.com/forums/showthread.php?postid=4771165#post4771165

tyler2k: aris asked about the next wave of announcements, Harada said that it's coming but on hold because of Evo and other tournaments,, they don't want to pull a Mortal Kombat.

tyler2k: second question Was about cutting characters, Harada said it's based on player data

tyler2k: otherwise they make similar characters to basically revamp them, keeping them fresh

tyler2k: aris asked if there will be a mid season releases, of sorts, not sure if Namco understood the question

tyler2k: new characters will be free when released, confirmed by Harada (hint at characters added after console release?)

tyler2k: aris asked if some characters moves are on other characters, should we presume they're dead? (ex rip anna)

tyler2k: no, shared moves doesn't mean dead, confirmed, rejoice Anna fans, she's not dead yet

tyler2k: aris asking about the tournament being annual, e.g. not one and done this December (the world tournament). namco is dodging the question. they want to but there's no guarantee.

tyler2k: they're considering more RA (rage arts) but nothing in the near future

tyler2k: Harada saying they tried revamping everyone's look in T4 but people complained, it sounds like Namco isn't touching costumes for now

tyler2k: Namco has time for console but won't be doing it for arcade. sounds like they're planning on doing it for console but no time for arcade.

tyler2k: I'd ask about the lack of black people in Tekken but I think I'd get banned (lol)

There were some other messages. Summary is that Namco has considered Tekken Crash for America but don't have much say in it. Also, Snoop's involvement with TTT2 was a marketing decision and the Tekken team had no say in it (lol @ this question).

Right now they're doing an audience Q&A and Tyler stopped giving us updates.

tyler2k: stages are planned but will be released in waves, They release characters based on emerging markets not race. e.g. Josie to replace Bruce because tekken is gaining steam in the Philippines.

tyler2k: asked about console release. they didn't answer the question.

Panel is over. Apparently there was a SFV ad at the end.

I heard that Eddy is going to be in Tekken 7! Although I do prefer Christie, the fact that I'll get a Capo back is good enough for me!

Christie's cool and all, but Eddy has bigger relevence due to what happened in T6. Then again, this story will be about Mishimas, so I doubt Eddy will have any involvement at all :(

I really enjoyed the Tekken 7 tournament at EVO. Grand finals was hype, especially when Nobi reset the brackets. Also, the slow motion really does add for hype and dramatic effect. Can't wait to see the competition grow when Tekken 7 hits more arcades and eventually, home consoles.

New characters with old characters moves? hmm that could be interesting I'd like to see a new manji character with a mix of original and Kuni stuff, I'd probably play that. Maybe Julia will have some of Michelle's moves?

Uh Julia has had Michelles moves since T6 buddy, where have you been? Unless you're talking about from TTT2, but thats like what only 2-3 moves.

Asuka as Haruka... Wouldn't it have made perfect sense for her to be Makoto? Ya know, since she's a boyish character. Plus Makoto is usually at odds with Iori who Lili is.. Makoto is perfect for Asuka lol, I'm kinda surprised Kazumi is Chihaya instead of Takane as it has been discussed she has Takane's Seiyuu.

Not quite the TekkenXTHE iDOLM@STER cross over I was hoping for but meh I'll take it lol I guess this means Lucky Chloe will be in THE iDOLM@STER 4 or whatever the ps4 one is called.

I don't think this trailer was meant to target US audiences, honestly. I'm kind of surprised that there wasn't a huge rantfest on TZ though.
