A Tekken 7 tournament is currently underway at Hypespotting 6 in Glasgow, Scotland, and a plethora of goodies about Tekken 7 are being discovered right and left. The latest PS4 version is being used at the event, which includes all of the characters we currently know about (yes, including Eddy Gordo, Kuma and Panda), all of the latest stages that we know of (Arena, Geometric Plane, Kinder Gym, Infinite Azure, and Violet Systems), and much more.
Here’s what we’ve caught wind of so far:
- New offline game mode called Treasure Battle
- Kuma and Panda unblockable move ‘Fatal Wind’ removed
- Bryan Fury’s qcb+3 no longer combos, nor launches on counter hit
- Duomo di Sirio (“Cathedral of Sirius” in Italian) stage music has changed
- Character Select music has changed
- The Main Menu no longer has question marks (?????), but shows the following menu items: Story Mode, Offline, Online, Customization, Jukebox, Gallery, Options, Player Information, PlayStation Store, VR Mode
The new Controller Setup makes things super easy. MarkMan had some thoughts to add as well.
Some of the first-ever Violet Systems gameplay! This stage is dope!
The very first G.Corp Helipad (Night) stage gameplay! This stage looks great!
Here’s another look at Geometric Plane stage gameplay. Can’t get enough of it.
Eddy, Kuma, and Panda have entered the building!
Eddy has been nerfed to “garbage” status, says RTFM|Rookang.
Here’s the first gameplay of Violet Systems, courtesy of King Jae. Finally!
Rage Arts can be assigned to one button, making it easier to execute. This means that you’ll no longer have to remember all of the various rage art button combinations for each character. We’re not mad at it. Tekken 7 must satisfy the casual gamer as well. This adds longevity to the game.
We’ll keep updating this story as more information hits the internet.
