I'm a little confused about Tekken 7's release.

Is this just a home release or some sort of full release? Cause I swear I've been seeing Tekken 7 in cabinet arcades for years now. It had everything including the boss Kazumi and stuff.


It's a "full" release but I use that term carefully because really there's only a handful of things new here from the cabinet

Now that you put it that way, did the arcade cabinet version have story cutscenes? I don't quite recall seeing any since it's mostly occupied by human players. Is that one of the elements included in this release?

Nope. The only story cutscenes are the optional character stories in story mode v_v

So my primary fighting game for years was Soul Calibur, but that series looks to be dead in the water after SC5. I've never played a Tekken game before, but based on what I've seen, I think that it might be a good replacement for my primary fighting game series. Would you say it's worth me getting Tekken 7?

I couldn't get into Street Fighter or Blazblue because I disliked the dependence on quarter circle movements, and I always had trouble doing those. Looking at Tekken 7's move lists online, each character only has a couple moves that use those, and most inputs are just one direction and one or two buttons. That simplicity in the inputs is why I enjoyed Soul Calibur and is part of why I want to try Tekken. Besides Soul Calibur, my only other real fighting game experience is a couple months of Pokken Tournament, as well as playing that one series whose name I won't mention because a certain user here will have a brain aneurysm if I call it a fighting game... so based on all this, would you recommend Tekken 7 for this newbie?

What types are there again? I'm not 100% with fighting game slang but I'd probably be able to tell out of a list

Yep, I remember getting into SC around SC3 and people were telling me "it's Tekken with weapons," heh.

The inputs are much, MUCH easier than BlazBlue, GG or SF and partially that's because movement is more important here than other games. There are a few moves that are unblock able but that's okay because you can simply sidestep them and punish if you can spot them on time.

As for characters, there isn't too many characters with a skill wall (fucking Carl) behind them so you can pretty much go in feeling confident with just about everyone but if you wanna pull off the fun stuff you're gonna have to practice of course.

Thanks for the info, it's reassuring.

After checking out the roster and a character overview guide I saw on the T7 board, the ones I saw that looked most interesting to me were:

Alisa
Bryan
Gigas
Katarina
King
Lili
Yoshimitsu

For the first six, do you know if any of them are really difficult to learn? And as for Yoshimitsu, would trying to use him during the transition period (moving from Soul Calibur) be a good idea if I used him in that series? He was never my main, but in SC2 and SC5 he was a secondary that I still used quite a bit.

Lili's my main.

She's definitely targeted towards newer players but that doesn't make her any less formidable. She has a lot of predictable attacks that hit hard if they do get through, and a few high/low combos that can throw someone off guard. Her throws are great for breaking the stage.

Alisa's my sub.

She can be a bit stiff and most of your movement will be stilted as a result, but the payoff is getting those chainsaws of hers running and completely breaking an opponent's high/low guard with them.

Not too familiar with everyone else there, sorry.

According to this post in the stickied topic on the Tekken 7 message board, they're in the console versions.

The NJPW DLC is part of the reason Tekken 7 caught my attention too.

Fam ffs I wasn't sure what to look out for

For all I know they could be labeled as something else unrelated in the Customization menu and you'd say "Nah that's it why didn't you say so"

Good to see its in though

Alisa is so fun to play, oh my goodness. I haven't played online at all yet, but against Arcade/Treasure mode CPU's (on Normal right now) I'm having a blast using her. I'm still trying to learn new combos and approaches with her, but what I've learned so far is pretty fun. Plus, it helps that Alisa herself is adorable.

My attempt to learn King isn't going as well because I'm finding it pretty hard to memorize all of his grapple sequences, so I think I'll come back for him later on. Maybe I'll practice a bit with the tentacle hentai monster (AKA Yoshimitsu) in the meantime.
