TEKKEN 7 | Lounge

Eddy >_<

Tekken 7 had like 2 years to shine. And you’re not gonna convert the whole 2D lovers to 3D fighters either.

btw graphics seem slightly better on those videos. Loading times are still horrendous though

Are people really angry at Eddy coming back? He hasn’t been playable in a mainline Tekken game since 5, which was like 12 years ago, I think it’s time to add him to the roster, and they can always add Christie via DLC if there’s a demand for her

Eddy was in Tekken 6 and in TTT2.

I didnt really want a Capo in this game but I don’t mind it. I mean the more characters the better right, now I just gotta learn how to fight Capos cause I feel like they have a lot of shit they can abuse if you don’t kno how to fight them, more so than any other character.

Time to Git Gud guys

Tekken 3 put Eddy and his fighting style on the map. Felt really funny not having a capo fighter for this iteration (Chloe’s annoying ass don’t count).
Glad he’s back. Let the hate (and easy low-ranked wins) flow.

My problem was/is finding good ones
They are hard as hell to find there only one decent one in my area offline. Online a lot of them are dumb 90% of them always go for the low launch off of relax and fish for the counter hit b1 I think for the full combo series. Idk the matchup that well so I’ll always try to back dash their shit and be patient.

It is time to study it though so I can punish better

I just BDC away or go for a ground hitting mid to mess with Capo players.

The dumb ones were fun to fuck around with in T6/TTT2 as Jack because I block their launch attempt, backdash away and debug them.
Proceed to abuse f,f+2 into combos for hilarity.
Even better, knock em on their ass far enough away and wait until they do the spinning backspring getup…block it and get a free backthrow in.
Best done near a wall for Jack, because of the alternate backthrow where he just chunks the opponent hella far. If hits a breakable balcony, they’ll take full damage from the throw, the shit will break, they go through, and can still combo that ass afterwards.

Wait he was in T6? I must’ve forgotten then. Still, that would be nearly 8 years since his last appearance

Also TTT2 is not a mainline entry

And, he still has been playable in every Tekken game since his debut in T3 even as far as the maintime line goes.

Bamco has been funny with him, but yeah, he was in all the games since his debut.

Debating on which version to rock. Prolly PS4 since it will inevitably having the larger player base.

I think that the PC version will run better but the PS4 version will have the bigger player base. Gonna be getting the PS4 version myself because its just more convenient for me, also all my Tekken friends are gonna get be gettin it on PS4

Pic version will run better but that shouldn’t be an issue if you have a pspro.

since when do they have…guns in tekken?!?

crazy customization…fine…but functional guns which makes damage?!?

Guns that do damage was introduced at least in Tag Tournament 2. I don’t recall if they were in T6.

Tekken 6.
I remember long ago when one of the T6 trailers showed off Bryan Fury using a shotgun on someone, signifying items being usable during fights.
TTT2 expanded on them tremendously, with pistols, machineguns and whatever other mess that could launch a projectile.

Though, like the above, most weapons have long startup times and are usually blockable (unless bullets, so you duck/sidestep those things). And most don’t do much damage.
With a funny exception to Prototype Jack in Tag 2… he was one of the few where his unique item piece (a construction crane) could actively be used in combos, and those who had it, it changes his wall BnB combos to incorporate it (until Bamco nerfed the damage the thing did).

lol I was watching my friend in a get hit 5 times by that thing
we kept yelling at him that it was unsafe on block cause a couple of times he got hit with it raw
those combos were legit wall carry into balcony break into crane with jack would fling them halfway across strategic space cause of the hits

Eh, I don’t think I ever used b1,4 all that often. df2 has been my ā€œspamā€ move since T5:DRO, when people didn’t even know what juggles were. Whiff punishing with df3+4 was so satisfying.

But I really hope they actually try to shake up his moveset. Eddy has a lot of old Tekken 3 animations and a bunch of moves with long start-up that are mostly useless. I can’t see him having a lot of screw attacks with what he has now.

I’ll be dissapointed if they just port him from TTT2 as lazily as they have with Jack.
