I mean, I know it’s completely pointless to argue with the guy, but it can be entertaining to engage at times :rofl:

You can punish and stuff every single wakeup move in T7.

Armored moves have startup, if you’re hit during this time the armored move will not come out. Armored moves can also be thrown without the opponent being able to break it, and lows beat armored moves as well. You have way more options against armored moves in this game than SFV.

Good, only Jesus was breaking throws in old Tekken games.

Sure, but a lot of them have slow startup. You can JAB as they do a Rage Art and you have time to recover from the blocked jab --> block --> punish most Rage Arts in the game. Treat it like YOLO Ultras in SFV. 99% of scrubs just want to Yolo throw it out so bait that shit.

It always was.

There are less single player modes for sure. Sad thing is that’s a thing across the board with most if not all FG’s this gen. There’s fuck-all to do in SFV and FEXL offline too.

And yet it’s the best looking fighter on the market next to FEXL. It came out before SFV and still looks better than that game. It does look much worse on console than on PC doe.

Honestly…Tekken has had silly anime shit in it for a long time. Gon in T3. Kangaroos. Bears. Dinosaurs. Evil robots. Pink haired robots that remove their head and kick it to you as a projectile. Take off her pink haired head and put it in your hand explosion throw. Giant evil robots. Giant demon bosses that fill the screen.

Like every fighter this gen. Be cool like me and don’t buy 99% of it. I don’t care about 99% of the returning Tekken characters but Negan and Geese are cool. I wish there was a new guest char for S3, that’d be dope.

The slow motion shiiet that happens when both people are low health and are 1 hit away from death is literally one of the hypest mechanics in any fighter.

Quality still shines through, and it still feels like an oldschool fighter just like FEXL does. The game is hard to get into and learn, just like it always was.

This I agree with a 100%. TTT1, TTT2, T5 and T6 all had better and more memorable stages. T7 stages are shite in comparison, it’s a shame.

Fucking weaboo ass pink haired sex robot.

Outside of TTT2 Tekken has always sold well mang.

Word? Can’t say I noticed. Then again I never cared much for Tekken’s story…it’s always been silly, and 95% of the endings have always been comic skits.

…What? If anything, it being successful means we will see T8 next-gen.

PlayStation pads are OG Xbox/Xbox 360 pad tier now. They literally just fall apart with regular use. What a shame. :cry:

I hear Xbone pads aren’t much better either. Remember the ELITE controller or whatever releasing for a premium while having a shitload of issues? :rofl:

Yup, and they can make shit happen without gear. I’m slowly doing solo Hell Diablo, Travincal and Frigid Highlands runs on my Hammerdin but I have to be careful because my gear is ASS.

ha, the thing about games on Stadia being a bit more expensive is yet another layer of this ongoing comedy. Imagine how crazy this sounds if this situation occurred back in the old days:

  • a) Buy Streets of Rage II on Genesis for 50 bucks. You get to go home with a copy of that game on a cart. You have it indefinitely…many years from this day you will still be able to play it, assuming the system still works.
  • b) Buy Streets of Rage II from Blockbuster for 60 bucks…except it’s a glorified rental. This copy isn’t really yours…and at any point it can magically disappear for a variety of reasons beyond your control…oh and it runs worse…and it looks worse. (and the end point is quite unpredictable; your access ultimately depends on if Blockbuster continues to exist. Six months from now can you still play it? What about next week if they have server maintenance going on, or 1 year later? You don’t know.)

What kind of silly muthafucka picks option (b)? :rofl:

Kay. So what?

I cannot imagine a timeline where NeverYouMind is not on ignore. That guy was genetically engineered in the womb to say some of the most asinine and reductive bullshit about video games ever fucking uttered.

That being said, Leroy and Fahkumram look fucking sick. :weary:

A. Except there is an invulnerable state during wake up that does not allow characters to control their opponent while the opponent is recovering unlike in past installments. One of the few unique gameplay elements that differentiates Tekken from other 3D fighters.

B. Except that start up is negligible and mixing it up with slower moves is fucked.

C. If throws are easily broken their use is a waste of frame advantage.

D. You just confirmed braindead super implementation.

E. The AI in the arcade version of Tekken Tag Tournament and Tekken 6 are only outdone by Virtua Fighter 4+.

F. N/A

G. Virtua Fighter 4 (Arcade)/5, Soul Calibur II/III/IV, DoA 3/2 Ultimate/4/5/6 and Tekken 4/5/6/Tag 2 look miles better aesthetically.

H. Namco have been making major league fuck ups since Tekken 5 with the addition of weak ass weeb garbage and the transformation of fighters into jokes. The console edition of Tekken 3 made similar mistakes with the needless and dumb inclusion of Dr. Bosconovitch, Disco Tiger, and Gon.

Kuma originates from a Japanese myth about a karateka who took out a bear and it was adapted into a film starring Sonny Chiba. There are kangaroo fights against people held in Thailand. The dinosaur is a skin for the easily impressed and Jr. garbage is a fuck up on their end. Even Mokujin is based on a martial arts film with mysticism called Shaolin Wooden Men (also featured Pai Mei) that stars Jackie Chan. The original Jack was based on the Terminator portrayed by Arnold Schwarzenegger. In Tekken 1 Yoshimitsu is a secretive ninja clan leader who uses a samurai sword based on Hattori Hanzo. In 2 he was given cybernetic prosthetics and afterward he was butchered to hell with random sci-fi elements. The Devil is a powerful being surrounded by mythos in almost every major culture. He was present in Tekken 1 as a skin for Kazuya. In Tekken 2 he was needlessly given laser beams at the whim of the designers. Even King is based on a Mexican wrestler by the name of Fray Tormenta and a Japanese wrestler named Satoru Sayama.

Feminine garbage like ballerinas, fembots, and idols would be beaten to a pulp in the preliminaries or receive no invitation to a tournament of martial artists. Tekken could use some updating in the juggle and bounce department, but it would be possible to make an argument that a lower gravity environment would make some of it possible.

I. Every fighter this gen did not have the developers hinting at announcements at every major tournament only to reveal jack shit.

J. Slow motion would not be an issue if the game was properly tested and objects were not constantly phasing through one another.

K. Back in the day fighters were graphical show cases. Most of the fighters released nowadays would look bad in comparison to well made indie open world games.

L. N/A

M. Japanese artificial female fetish toy should have been melted in a foundry. Does not make an obnoxious furry idol any less intolerable.

N. Older games sold on their own merits.

O. N/A

P. If Tekken 8 pulls the same garbage as Tekken 7 it will never be great! Given Tekken 7’s relative success that seems to be where Tekken is inevitably heading.

I think his parents were Chernobyled at the point of conception.

I think you need to learn your geography.

NWM is like the only person I’ve seen who’s played older Tekkens that doesn’t like the newest one.

Dudes like Aris and TheMainManSwe, both dudes who have been playing Tekken forever love T7 and think it’s the best in the franchise and A LOT of other people feel this way too. All of my friends who liked older Tekken games like T7 too.

:man_shrugging:

Do it man. It’s super rewarding to learn, when you decimate people and have them ragequit in PLAYER MATCH or dip out after 1 match you know you’re levelling up. That and, ducking in the middle of strings and punish their highs with launchers feels good everytime.

Spacing and whiff punishing in this game is big. You can literally win matches letting people hang themselves.

If you do get back into it, we can run some sets once my new PC is up and running like we did back in early SFV days. :+1:

There are others that do not let the hype train do their thinking for them and you should not use people who make a living from being involved with an intellectual property (i.e. get paid) to represent how well a new installment is received.

Yeah, that’s why I mentioned my friends loving the game as well. Who, just like me, have played all of the older Tekken games.

Imagine wasting time and effort posting shit that no one would read.

Just like everyone who has ever posted on the internet.

It’s a wasted conversation with a dude whose complaints bout the game include bad AI, story modes bs cause no tournament and combos in relation to real world physics.

Pop idol and robot go too far, but tries to explain how random animals and Devil shooting lasers makes sense. Dudes get thrown off cliffs and into volcanoes, guess that nonsense is a okay. :joy:
