SonyTwan 1,208 Posted August 22, 2018 (edited) Tekken 7 is my first real fighting game that I've played properly, currently about 230 hours of game time which is tiny in the grand scheme of things. Randomly came across it while browsing twitch late at night, came across the finals of a Japanese team tournament where one guy managed to beat 5 others after the rest of his team was eliminated, was really fun to watch despite having no clue about the game. Did a bit of research and threw myself in and I've been playing it ever since. - Huge roster of characters that all player differently with decent customisation - Really well balanced (there's been a bear player wreaking havoc in top 8 of tournaments lately) - Ridiculously complex to the point you're learning something new every time you play (don't let that put you off though) - Cool music and stages - Slowmo system when both players are frames from killing each other If anyone wants to pick it up (it's on sale pretty often lately) I'd be happy to play and help you along. It's my first fighting game so I've heard to learn concepts such as frame data, mix ups, movement, counterhits, actually executing combos, etc. It's all been surprisingly interesting albeit difficult. Do not buy this game if you want a decent single player experience, story is pretty boring and AI can be abused. Be prepared to have the shit kicked out of you over and over again until you learn, the game can be really disheartening if you let it. There's nobody else to blame but yourself if you lose, so you gotta cope with that. A decent tournament set to watch with two of the best players in the world: In regards to other fighting games, Soul Calibur 6 is being released in October. Looks cool, plus Geralt is in it and plenty of people in OB bum The Witcher (rightfully so). I'll be picking it up. Anyone play any other fighting games? Never played any 2D or anime fighters, but curious to try new things. Edited August 22, 2018 by SonyTwan 3 Sovman, VENGA BUS and Jamie reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post
Chus 265 Posted August 22, 2018 I played Tekken pretty much from the start and it's definitely one of the best fighting games out there however I've kinda slowed on playing it with the newer releases. Give Lili a try and also law those are probs my 2 favourite characters if you haven't played them already. I can't really help you with other fighting games as Tekken is the only one ive played but I'm sure there are some great hidden gems about. 1 SonyTwan reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post

Lili was recently played be Knee during finals in a tournament cos her sidestep is so buff, being able to sidestep Devil Jins best move to catch people doing exactly that (laser scraper). 1 Chus reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post
Vemix 205 Posted August 22, 2018 I used to play so much Mortal Kombat and enjoyed "Raiden" I just loved how cool he was back when I was young. I also enjoyed a character called "Noob" if I remember. 1 SonyTwan reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post

VENGA BUS 2,027 Posted August 23, 2018 I will pick up Soul Calibur but only once they release the roach fighter DLC sony told me about, where he repeatedly kicks you over and tanks any damage your fighter inflicts (by default roach will win every round he fights) 2 Jamie and mitch reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post
Eraser 1,039 Posted August 24, 2018 I’m garbage at fighting games but I was okay at tekken 2. Easy wins consisted of choosing Law, spam circle and x, causing law to double backflip and knock opponent into the air, there was no cool down and was infuriating to play against 1 SonyTwan reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post

Some moves you can only punish at 10 frames with a jab or two, some moves you can punish at 15+ frames which is generally a launch and a juggle depending on the character. A great set to watch if anyone is interested in seeing some King gameplay: Edited August 25, 2018 by SonyTwan Quote Share this post Link to post

M1nt-l0u 1,235 Posted September 29, 2018 Tekken is the most like CS when it comes to fighting games. Ridiculous learning curve and technicality when you want to do well, and very satisfying once something works. Quote Share this post Link to post
SonyTwan 1,208 Posted October 15, 2018 (edited) Pretty happy, but the season 2 changes have made it easier to rank up overall, so not as cool as it used to be for reference: Edited October 15, 2018 by SonyTwan 1 1 Fluxy and M1nt-l0u reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post
