I have numerous, fundamental issues with it. But it just got too big to be stopped. Congrats on that.
So, I believe it goes Smash Ultimate > MK11 > Tekken 7.

There is always that weird disconnect between the Era takes on this game and the sales numbers combined with the constant increase of concurrent players on Steam through it's lifetime...
Fantastic game and gameplay , I just hope the next one will be playable online in my region.

I always do have to laugh at the paining. Bryan's shooting up the place with a gatling gun and everyone's like "Just ignore him." lol
I mean, my takes at least aren't exactly hot. Online functionality, loading times, overall decline in quality from TTT2, whatever the fuck they had that narrator doing for the story mode, etc.
Enjoyed this one a lot. Wish they would sell all the dlc in one bundle at a reasonable price now that it's wrapping up.
Bought it in a recent sale. I'd played it when it was on Gamepass a while ago but now I own it with the DLC. Just wanted it in case some friends want to play some Tekken.
The thing that infuriated me the most was the instant rematch not available on launch on top of that loading times. The narrator thing was whatever even if I secretly hoped there would be a reveal that it would be one playable character in the end (especially with how the guy was buff in the art). Nope lol.

I think the art has been "done" since 7 million. But it is very cool that they saw fit to add all the DLC characters as they came out.
They seriously need to be arrested for having online matches reload from 0 every single time, lol. Tekken 8 better have none of that nonsense.
I kinda wish they released an outfit bundle/pack(?) with their costumes from this milestone artwork.
Tekken has always been a favourite for the casual players because you can mash and still have a lot of fun. It's not a criticism, I love Tekken but no other fighting game is quite as casual-friendly as Tekken, not even Smash.
It's a fine game to play and watch at tournament level and each event no doubt drove sales...
But it's more than Era and extends to even the FG community that can point out the issues without saying the game isn't worth a sale.
It's the same with 8. I'll play it and have my fun but could still be disappointed by their design team and untrusting that past issues will be fixed (loading, network, modes, character personalities and designs, awful customizations etc).
I'll be honest, I went to make comparisons of Tekken's shitty jacked body types versus Soul Calibur VI's, namely Law vs Maxi, and it just made me want to play SC. Still a beauty even if the designs are busy.Great game, well deserved.
Now everyone go and buy SoulCalibur VI too kthx.
Congrats on the success! Hopefully the next game actually has good online, cross-play, & a solid amount of content.
didn't they used the same art for 5 millions?

oh, they added 2 characters and other things.

You mean all the ladies get some fancy cocktail dress and all the guys get a boring tuxedo?
One thing that Era has taught me is to never believe this place's Tekken takes lol. Like, I'm gooooooodddddddd.
Same thing goes for Mortal Kombat. Coincidentally, these are the two best-selling vs fighting game series and I get the feeling that a lot of people here wish they weren't because they prefer another one. Personally, I'm glad that fighting games in general are perhaps the most popular they've ever been since Tekken 3.
Again, what takes are you referring to because no one was discounting the gameplay or shittalking anyone who enjoys it? It's namely Harada and his design philosophy and bullshit lies. And getting ready for the next battle....
Now hopefully they can use that money to good use.
Not sure what excuse they'll have if they still manage to screw up Tekken 8.

Which Tekken game are you referring to regarding "shitty jacked bodies"?
It's a common complaint in the Tekken threads and I was going to make the comparison in the Tekken 8 thread because of that ridiculous Law image.
This is true for like every single game. They all go on sale for dirt cheap at some point.
Have you not seen Tekken 7 Law? Dude is huge and even in his Tekken 7 render, Law looks ridiculous.
Hence my complaint. That render doesn't even actually bother me. It's the terrible models in T7 that are disgusting.Have you not seen Tekken 7 Law? Dude is huge and even in his Tekken 7 render, Law looks ridiculous.
Yes, I was talking about "Tekken's shitty jacked body types", particularly in game because that's where you see the same recycled skeletal structure used on most male characters with shoulders and biceps jacked up and always in an unrelaxed flexed position with a stick up their asses seen in the character story cutscenes.
Tekken 8's initial promise to be a complete overhaul in the modeling department gave hope for more than 2 or 3 body types amongst the cast and Law would return to form. Nope, looks like they'll all be Ultimate Warriors again.
I don't see what's wrong with Tekken 8's in-game models. They look more realistic compared to Tekken 7. Law looks more like Bruce Lee, who afaik had almost no bodyfat.
His render isn't terrible. He looks his age but is pretty big, like typical wrestler build big, which proves they're not gonna fuss with different builds/archetypes in their model/skeletal rigging. Probably to make hit detection easier.
But I'll miss his more unique build. An example of what I dislike about these jacked models:
Congrats to Bandai Namco. Hopefully, Tekken 7's success can herald the return of console port content at a level comparable to the prior games.
I imagine a good deal of it is just "right place, right time." Enough years had passed between Tag 2's initial home release -- and even more years had passed between Tekken 6's home release for those that skipped Tag 2 -- that there was probably a hunger again. There being a bit of a vacuum due to Street Fighter V stumbling out of the gate left an opening for the pretty consistently reliable Tekken franchise to slide in and expand from there, but that's just one possible facet of the game's success. Tekken 7 being the first game of its series to debut in the modern streaming age probably helped as well.
I mean, my mains are mostly women so in that regard I don't mind :P
tekken 7 profited off of being a tekken game
when it comes to successful fighting game franchises, tekken is only behind MK in sales
It's been a real treat watching fighting games develop over my gaming lifetime. Those early days struggling to pull off quarter circle movements in SF2 and sinking heaps of time into stuff like World Heroes as an 8 year old who didn't know any better. The fever pitch excitement when Mortal Kombat 2 hit arcades. The 3D revolution, where I always thought Virtua Fighter 2 was so beautiful but never really knew how to play it. Tekken 1 didn't impress me, but Tekken 2 was the first game I got for my Playstation and it blew me away in arcades and at home. It's just cool to me to see these series living on and in great shape.
Smash got robbed, again :P
It's also the best for total beginners to mash buttons and see cool things happening ^^. Very low skill floor and very high skill ceiling. Problem lies in the middle, but it's a tough one to adress lol.

I think a big part of Tekken's success relative to other games in the genre is it's e-sports scene. Tekken always steals the show and has most hype. It's more fun to watch tekken as a spectator than the 2D fighting games. It's easier to keep up for less uninitiated even though mechanically the game is very complex and tough to learn.
Tekken is up there with Street Fighter and Smash as the most spectator friendly fighting games. Not just competitively. Maximilian was recently speaking about how those games retain viewership over time where other great games like KOF XV and Strive fail to sustain viewers after launch. Not just because of the popularity, but because of the style of the games.
Yes it's true. I mean I love guilty gears but even I don't actually watch it online.
Yep, I can see that. At the end of the day yeah the genre thriving so it's all good to me. Good comparison to MK as well.
If you don't see it then you don't see it. Been around since the GAF days.
It was my least favorite Tekken game, but congrats I guess. Those two hundred guest characters putting in work.
