Absolutely did not expect this so soon.

Rest of the World Tour will be crazy.

How is the online now? How fast is the matchmaking and the connection?
Eventually consider a buy if those aspects are good..

Oh damn, that's actually pretty soon.

Still a bit miffed that they went back on their "classic Tekken characters will be free" thing, but the characters are shaping up to be looking good.

The idea of adding auto combos for casual players in a 3d fighter is so weird as due to the nature of 3d fighters having big character movesets, simply pressing buttons and alternating between your attacks will always get you different strings anyway

I'm still not down with what they did to Lei's face. Moves are looking good though.
Is it just me or is Anna's face really robotic when she talks compared to T6 and TTT2? Not much expression being shown.

Yeah im confused at how that could work in a game like Tekken. Unless they're just gonna be like the 10 hits or something.

If it's like free electrics I'm gonna be upset

Surely not. That would be incredibly silly.

I'm curious to see how it works too. Tekken is a strange one because there are so many different ways you can launch someone and combos usually require adjustment on the fly depending on wall angle and distance. It's not like in DBZ where you can just mash out an auto-combo because they come off a jab, in Tekken, launch punishable moves are relatively rare and launchers themselves are usually at least -12 on block.

In terms of the balance changes, this looks like the biggest shake-up Tekken has had in years. It seems like they've mainly tried to add utility to moves which generally see very little use in regular play. Just watching the footage, it seems like King's SS2 now launches and Steve's (previously useless) rage drive is now a proper launcher and/or combo extender. Wall bounds could be potentially game breaking for some characters with powerful wall vortexes.

I'm ready to hop back in. Had the game, but haven't played much. Love to watch it, though. I have no intent to play the game at a high level, so I'm curious about the auto combos.

Still no team battle mode, instead focus on competitive stuff again, urgh.

How hard can it be to add such a mode? It's not even real new content, it's just changing a few things.

Was worried this would be $35. Kind of shocked it is launching so soon too, figured it would come out sometime next year to space it far away from Soul Calibur VI.

I like the sound of the new combo mode. I mostly just play with friends that do not really have any interest in learning the game much beyond super basic stuff so that right there is enough to get me to come back to the game.

I find it ridiculous that Eliza isn't part of either Season Pass @o@
Will get the SP once it's up on Humble.

I don't know where people get "legacy characters will be free" from. I see it mentioned every now and then but I never actually have seen a quote that actually says exactly that. Only that legacy characters were currently not being sold as DLC.

Harada can say whatever he wants ,but at the end of the day it is up to Namco. We wouldn't be getting these characters otherwise if it wasn't paid.

Also I don't find Auto combos to ever be useful but if it might have the chance of bringing more people in to learn the game I have no issue with it. Hopefully it isn't broken. I assume it will be lowered damage, and only certain moves will have auto combos. TBH still sucks they have refused to add a tutorial to the game but I guess we will get in the next game as it is time consuming to add a tutorial to a game in the first place.

Otherwise, I am quite excited for this patch and Season 2. Can't wait to get back in.

TBH after reading that quote I take back what I said. It definitely seems to be a misinterpretation from fans. He is definitely talking in regards to the first season pass and year of support. (As we got Noctis and Geese, brand new characters no classic characters were sold) and not talking about Season 2, which is entirely separate from that quote. Because his english is spotty I guess people took that as him saying, including myself, "We will never sell classic characters" which obviously is not true.

The tweet says that

In the past, we had to stop all updates and support within 2months after launch(Because no development Budget).
With Season Pass, we can guarantee one year of Additional Development Cost and development Team (Retention of development team structure) from our Company/Publisher.
Also, we do not sell classic Tekken characters, Paid DLC will be special content. With this system, we can do free updates and support for a long time.
This is what I've been saying in an interview article (I have talked about it in several interviews before, so please read it).

It's people misinterpreting a quote from Harada.

I really want new stages. A wedding ceremony for the Nina/Anna plot would have been cool. Maybe a street stage for Lei.

Auto combos is probably an auto juggle, you press something easy after the launcher and get a short non optimal juggle.
