It just seems so peculiar the way he specifically mentions the character models and roster complete while saying nothing at all about the gameplay.

And then there's also the fact that Tekken 7 is based on Tekken Revolution, a game where they specifically tested out the half - baked character Eliza who had blockable fireballs. I find all these things a little too convenient....and now Namco is also saying the name Tekken x Street Fighter will not be used for the final release. And making SF characters guests in Tekken 7 would certainly count as a "surprise".

And to top it all off SFV and Tekken 7 seem to be cross promoting each other like we saw at gamescon and now Paris Games Week. I guess we'll see It could all just be a coincidence and I'm just over thinking again.

 

[lupinko]

I could see Tekken 7 become Street Fighter edition.

Look how Team Ninja threw in random VF characters in DOA5.

Yeah that's the best analogy of how I'm thinking the TxSF project will manifest.

 

[sasuke_91]

So I'm asking you AAK: Would you be Okay with the gameplay and the nerfs if this was indeed Tekken with Street Fighter guest characters? Would this be enough innovation for you?
Would this also justify the recycling?

And I'm begging you, please don't get your (and my) hopes up. You're just going to be disappointed

 

[AAK]

I can't answer that until I know what the arcade update entails. Will Tekken 7:BR have new mechanics? Or will it be the same but with the new characters + SF characters? If the TxSF scenario is indeed a DOA+VF model where it's T7+SF guests, are the SF characters just shoehorned into the Tekken system with none of the 2D defining gameplay elements like full-screen zoning, Y-axis gameplay, clear distinctions between grapplers/zoners/shoto's/rekka's? There are too many questions.

In the end, what I want from a Tekken sequel is for every character to have new tools that change their gamestyle. For example, seeing the new Dhalsim trailer show him have new Mortal Kombat mechanics (like flame carpets), new fireball arcs, new hover mechanics, etc. drastically change the way you play Dhalsim from SF4. I want the characters of the Tekken sequel to have new tools that drastically alter the way you need to use the character. I don't want to play the characters in T7 the same way I've been playing them in TTT2. If the arcade update can provide this I'll be incredibly happy. Bonus if they address this & the get rid of the troll customs.

TKXSF might just end up expanding to cover more franchises than just SF. Maybe become a fighting game megamix of some sort. Or become Capcom vs. Namco.

I highly doubt it will just end up being SF characters in Tekken 7. He's talking about a title change in that article. I doubt that change is going to be from TKXSF to T7: SF Edition.
Outside of Gon, Tekken is not exactly keen on guest characters in its main entries anyway, whereas Dead or Alive already incorporated Team Ninja characters from different franchises (e.g. Ryu from Ninja Gaiden) and including VF characters wasn't too farfetch'd, especially when the control systems for DOA align rather nicely with VF.

 

[GrayFoxPL]

Harada, just show something, stop with this bullshit. We haven't seen a pixel from TxSF.

Just show 10 second teaser that says 2017 but for the love of Kuma, show anything!

Your words mean nothing now, and what's this bollocks about game was already announced so it's boring to put it on the shelves? Is this a joke? I'm supposed to believe the game is almost ready?

"We got this ready, we got that ready, we got polygons! I just want to make a big surprise!" - is this serious, or just stalling because nothing's finished?

It was announced 5 years ago as a part of Fighting Festival. It's long over. You embarrassed yourself by putting the game in garbage bin while taking on other projects and actually releasing them. Don't remind people you actually announced the game 5 years ago.

Make a big fresh re-announcement! Pick any fighting game event and boom trailer!

What surprise do you want? Making the announcement on North Pole while Brad Pitt is dancing with the penguins and Putin is riding a polar bear in the background?

This is what I really want to see out of this game. The good parts of 3D mixed with the good parts of 2D to make a new type of fighter, not just 2D characters in a traditional 3D game.

Yeah I think Tag 2's tournament lifespan is approaching an end point.

TxSF actually coming out in a reasonable timespan and being any good would be very much enough of a surprise. =/

 

[MikeMyers]

The PlayStation version of T7 is meant to have exclusive content, maybe that will have SF guest stars? Would make sense since SF4 is PS4 console exclusive.

The VR stuff is exclusive to the PS4 version.

VR being the exclusive content seems very likely.

Tekken 7 is going to suck visually........because people like Degen can't help themselves and will create customs like this. :/

Sorry, can't add in Tekken 4 King hair.

Hey, but did you add in the toy mallet? Yeah, we're good.

 

[lupinko]

I didn't know other artists besides jbstyle were in. Bamco promoted jbstyle over the others, anyway there's also Junny, Shunya Yamashita, Tomio Fujisawa along the aforementioned jbstyle.

I bring it up because I got Yamashita panels today along with a Halloween themed life bar.

So I got for panels right now:
jbstyle: DJ, Jin, Kaz and Law
Shunya Yamashita: Lili and Kazumi

they had a panel and showed like three artists were doing art or something.
Lili one seems familiair to the old one but Kazumi is new.

 

[Dereck]

The customization department in the developer building is random as fuck. No idea who's controlling the ideas over there.

 

[Numb]

Wanna know who asked for all the weird customs.
A pizza on your back? never remember asking for such a thing.

 

[Pachimari]

Sold my PS3, so no more Tekken Tag Tournament 2 for me.

Now I'm just waiting for Tekken 7 to hit my PS4.

 

[sasuke_91]

That Lili one is in Tag 2 as well. Kazumi lookin' goood!

 

[Numb]

Indeed,
Just thought the artist liked that dress and she was in a different stance.

Kazumi's 2D concept art looks great but it could be soooooo much better as far as the 3D model goes.

Same for Katarina and Lucky Chloe. Lucky Chloe's concept art (especially the early ones) look really cool.

You bought a PS3 because you said you wanted to get good at Tekken and now you sold it again? That's not how you're going to accomplish that goal

Speaking about panel arts, Tomio Fujisawa did the most badass arts for Tekken 5/DR cards.

These should be the panels for T7 too.

Persona had cool ones too:

Btw does anyone know where I can find bigger res of this art, preferably without the white shadow?

Sorry, not for Kazuya, but I have them for Heihachi, Jin, Jack, Nina, Eddy, Asuka, Feng, Miguel, True Ogre, King, Mokujin, Lili, Alisa, Julia, and Lars....

thx man. I already HAD that one. I ws thinking if they had ones for T5.

 

[GrayFoxPL]

Some arts are very rare. Those early T5 ones, damn.

Edit:Too slow.

Moku and Jinpachi I only got tag2 ones.

I just can't become a "pro" at it, and I have nobody to play against locally who know what they're doing. I'll start over with Tekken 7.

I played it more than 3 hours.

I'm sorry. We'll meet in Tekken 7.

 

[sasuke_91]

That's kind of true, but was that your goal all along? Tekken is already pretty fun at lower-mid level. If you set the bar too high you'll never be satisfied.
I sucked really hard when I came here, now I suck less. That's something. And TekkenGAF in general doesn't have any "real" pros.

 

[Numb]

Shots shots

 

[Dereck]

All of us suck less than another or more than another, with the exception of av2k.

 

[Sayah]

Also very true.

 

[AAK]

Also very true.

Something really went horribly wrong when they tried to model her...

and on the topic of old concept art, i just realized Capcom hella borrowed from Shaheen's previous concept for Rashid:

Replace the footwear on the far left with Sandals and make a white attire color scheme and wala.

No you won't. If having no one to play being the problem, I don't see how Tekken 7 will fix it.

 

[lupinko]

It's good to at least practice combos and get the feel of your characters at home even if you can't play against other players. It'll give you some idea on how to play.

 

[Pachimari]

Oh man, I thought you were my crew. =(
You guys gotta have mercy on me.

I will practice in Tekken 7 as much as I can, especially now that it'll be 1 on 1, and then I will have to practice with you guys and with random players online in order to get at least a little bit better.

After I had been practicing with boutdown, I did feel I improved a little in Tag 2. Especially with movements and parries with Marshall.

 

[SquirrelSoup]

I feel like i've certainly improved a bit after playing the folks in thread.

I'm a big fan of training online. It might not be perfect, but i just about remember how it was before when you could only properly train twice a year by going out to meetups. It was awful.

 

[AAK]

You can just feel the rivalry between these 2 guys every time they play...

4 Koreans confirmed now for Iron Fist Tournament

LOL! Those are awesome tournament names. (thumbs up)

Speaking of tournament names, did anyone ever sign up for a tournament under an alternate name?

The Spirit of Billy Mays was my alt. tournament name for about half a year.
