Tekken

[Radiance]

Played Tekken 7 yesterday again offline with a friend. I noticed I was having a easier time breaking throws than usual; I thought maybe they increased the window allowing us react and break throws more often but they actually changed the way throw breaking works.

1 = left punch, 2 = right punch, 3 = left kick, 4 = right kick.

For breaking left throws, you'd use 1 to break the throw and 2 to break right throws. But now they've made it easier. You can use 1 or 2 to break left or right throws. But you still have to break both arm throws with 1+2. So it's now a 50/50 and players will have a easier chance breaking throws in Tekken. Although it's still good to train yourself to look out for 1+2 throws.

Read more stuff on Akuma. Execution and reward and meter aside, a lot of players seem to hate Akuma, even a high ranking Yoshi player said that he's fought OP characters through thick and thin but Akuma makes him(or has made him) quit Tekken.

....I can't comment on the situation, but I'm glad Tekken is listening to feedback. Some people may be unhappy but he seems to be getting nerfed soon.

Yeah... maybe I should stop quoting "Akuma Matata means 'No Mishimas'"... I didn't know it was THIS bad.

I don't even think the Mishimas are popular in arcades atm, from the top of my head Akuma is the most used. King, Nina, Lili, and i think Kazuya are behind him. Hopefully it calms down soon, Akuma is basically overshadowing everyone in the game and he isn't even an actual Tekken character. <_>

Gouki is just tearing everybody's ass up right now.

Poongko is going to be pissed now lol

 

[CFW]

Good

 

[KasumiLover]

I couldn't agree more, Akuma can be good but not to the point where he overshadowed everyone. I'm hoping for some decent lili buffs, Claudio I have nothing to worry about, he seems good regardless

Balance update incoming on August 9th, also Bob will be added along with new custom items...not sure if Master Raven will be added yet, perhaps she is still being worked on.

Ver. D06 = Akuma receives more nerfs

 

[SilverForte]

They nerfed yoshimitsu, I am not happy.

I refuse to follow this game until Anna comes along.

 

[KasumiLover]

How will ya she comes along if you don't follow along tho? Plus she may be kept secret until release

A character that well known should not be kept secret

 

[YBNDM]

Dang...

They did it with Jin in Tekken 4 and Anna in T5, plus Anna isn't as popular as Nina, she's always been in her shadow. It may not happen but Harada did hint at some characters being held until release which I'm OK with since I already have Lili. With Anna she has 139+ moves and grapple throws they'll need to adjust and rebalance to fit the new system, so I won't be surprised if she isn't announced till like December or later. They seem to be adding characters with smaller move sets in soon since they have less to work with and adjust, Anna is gonna be a project since she already has so many commands for the player to use.

 

[Project Bokuho]

At this point, everybody is hoping that Korean tekken site leaks characters again lol

Does Master Raven seem basically like Taki but black to anyone else?

 

[KasumiLover]

She seems more like a Kuni/Raven hybrid that looks eerily like Jacqui Briggs with longer dreads and scars imo.

Maybe it's just the form-fitting wardrobe combined with the generous assets that give me that vibe. I'm definitely not going to complain about it, though.
