Tekken 7 Hype Train!

I wonder why they changed her hair.

So if u take a look at the character select screen, there's two random slots. So they still may reveal two more characters. One later on tonight and another tomorrow night.

OK work was the hardest thing ever i kept looking at my phone for T7 stuff all day pray for me.

I don't know how to feel about the supers tbh. I always hated how 2D fighters would pause a bit to show its happening, and hated it even more when that pause turned into a pause for the opponent while the attacker pulls a 1-2 second animation outta nowhere like she can manipulate time. NO! Stop it! The realism arguement cant really apply to fighters since juggles and broken bones not having an effect and what not, but that takes the piss. If they had it so it was like a zoom in to the rage arter while slo mo on both players, then ok. I'd accept it. But a full blown pause while they do a cute little pose before attacking, no maam. Let it be like the TT2 Beta TA animation and be GONE come release.

And these armor moves? Ok, better than the super art in TR since you can hit them, and a low can stop them altogether, but idk. Rage Arts defo should not have armor properties. Just wait for your opp to do a move and them bam, free Rage Art. I'd rather have standard T6 Rage than this tbh. Stupid comeback mechanic.

Finally, i hate and love the new combo mechanic that is replacing B!. Both because i thought of it ages ago!!! Granted its not with the animation i had in mind, whenever i get round to my little gem i was going to apply it to moves like Asuka's db4,3 that cause the aerial backflips during juggles and then they'd land into a T6/TT2 B! state, but it looks great. Good job Namco.

PS gorls, there'll be P2 costumes. We could get those redesigns after all. Kaz technically got a new outfit, and i think Lars is rocking the old T6 P2 outfit in the Beta since the P1 is getting redesigned. ALSO, Paul has been rocking that Red karate outfit since the dawn of time so that's never going away.

On a less gameplay mechanic note, yas Xiaoyu, yas Katarina (guys she is going to have that name, i won't go around sayin its a japanese thing since lili is still lili there, not Riri) you better slay even though you will become the bane of my existance on T7 online cause the girls that cant play will eat you up, and Claudio like... wat?

I need more vids of him to show of the whole point of that blue hand.

And judging from them movesets, like i see alot of kicks in Katarina, but the "casual" ness of their styles is just givin me Miguel vibes all over the show. Ok they got some more flair and what not, not just some drunk that decided he could fight one day, but i can't help but see an unpolish to them both in the sense "Miguel girl, you outta here, you done been replaced"

Is the streams tomorrow having a direct feed? I feel like i need that to judge the amount of sparks properly and obvs i want non cam footage but i'll deal cause its tekken

In case you haven't seen a Hwo vid yet Bosca



I thought he was wearing his DR biker outfit, but its just the colours

Omg tho, it improves it big time. His power kick. He's looking nice n powerful

The announcer says "Welcome to the King of Iron Fist Tournament 7" I'm so happy that's back omfg.

It's beautiful, Hwoarang looks amazing, music is great, just love it all.

Idk about the music... Can Tekken ditch dubstep already?

I fell asleep on this lmao what I miss?

Nothin? lol, i didn't get watchin it all anyway but there was no reveal or anything, just gameplay like yesterday. If those two other ? marks on the roster are gonna turn into someone, i guess it gotta happen tomorrow.

I saw Alisa's Rage Art but I can't find the video from where i saw it lmao

Nah when people went over it one of them was just randomising.

Kat is apparently brazilian, cause that's the language she speaks.

Everyone in the chat kept going on bout Nina being overhauled.

Also omg niconico >>> twitch.

Here is most of the RA..so mad tho Hwo n Lings kept getting getting blocked when I was, but seems like no one got it yet.

I saw Ling's too. I haven't seen Hwoarang's at all either tho.

Katarina sort of sounds like Christie sometimes. Maybe they have the same voice actor? Portuguese is nice, but isn't just exclusive to Brazil.

All I know is his comes from FS which is kind of annoying.

What other Latin American country speaks Portuguese? It seems only really African nations remain outside of Portugal itself.

Ya i saw lings, its hot. I think Hwo's is the only one I haven't seen, or the only one thats coming to mind. Steve's is RIDICULOUS! It did like 70-80% health raw. Harada girl, what you at? It will obvs get changed but lol still

And i know they are random spots, but like why have three random select spots on a character select screen? I would understand two, its had two before, but three?

Didn't a fighter have a big random slot that turned into one for a playable boss? I could just be imagining.

Wasn't there supposed to be 20 playable? There's only 18, they must be hidden.

I like that the characters in this build look like they came straight out of those pachinko cutscene things.

I missed all of that, so i guess i gotta wait til what hits youtube.

Judging from the lack of explosion from TZ, EH and other FG sites, nothing crazy happened and those extra ? spots stayed as ?

Is it already confirmed that Katarina is from South America? Because if not, she could be from Portugal. She does a European martial art.

Anyway, I'm glad her name is Katarina instead of Catalina. Not sure if this is due to the typical Japanese mix-up between R's and L's, but both are actual names anyway, though Katarina is a Slovic name. Imagine, though, if they pull another Jaycee where Kat turns out to be an alter ego of Christie.

Double plot twist: Christie is Kat AND the Tekken force chick.
