Whatever, just waiting on that Virtua Fighter X Esports now. I am so sick of the over the top characters and move sets of all these fighting games. Can't wait to play something where the style and the animations mimic and recreate real world martial arts techniques.

Yeah you and me both... bring us Virtua Fighter X Sega

I'm a huge Tekken fan but I think Tekken 7 has gone overboard. So many of the new characters (especially DLC) feel out of place. Noctis, Negan, Akuma and Geese especially. (Not hating SF or KoF but I don't think they mix well with Tekken)

I've never played VF but I would welcome a new game in the series to sink my teeth into. Always liked the look of Goh and his grapple setups.

You won't regret it, it has a simplified control scheme but the depth of moves, and how technical the movement, guarding, setups, and escapes are is just amazing. Many players might use the same combos with the same fighter but you can be successful with any character using completely different styles and methods. It is really amazing coming up against another good player in a mirror match and watch them use the character in a completely different way. It also is a game without an etched in stone tier list. It is truly the only fighter I can think of where you can pick the character that appeals to you via style and aesthetics and not worry about how uneven their matchups will be against other characters. My wife and I still play it on xbox one bc when we stay in drinking. She will take a drink for every fight she loses and I will take 3 for every round I lose lmao, good times.

I don't think those characters are out of place in a series where you have devils, bears, kangaroos and a boxing velociraptor.

I meant out of place in terms of playstyle and capabilities. Noctis, for example, having a safe, full screen whiff punish, is completely unlike anything Tekken has ever had. Same goes for Geese/Akuma and their fireballs / super moves.

However, just 3 characters in Season 4..wonder if they still want 30 bucks lol.

Still got my fingers cross that Mokujin aka 'the carousel' makes a triumphant return.

I'm a huge Tekken fan but I feel like they became very greedy... Ok they promised those base characters but cmon for me it doesn't feel right how the game is being managed,

losers with nothing better to do in their pathetic pointless lives.

A strong case for legal murder. Activist lives don't matter.

'Just Stop Oil' whilst also disrupting commuting, vandalising other people property and just generally being dicks.

gold_drake216d ago (Edited 216d ago )

they remind me of those idiots who glue themselves on streets haha.

Unknown_Gamer5794216d ago

I never understood the logic of that form of protest. If anything, it increases fossil fuel consumption by forcing a lot of vehicles to idle until the road is no longer blocked. I’m all for protesting a cause one believes in, but I would think people would want their form of protest to at least make sense.

gold_drake216d ago

yeh, its quite dangerous too, cause u never know if anyone needs medical attention or not.

TheEnigma313216d ago

When these people get beaten up sometimes, it's always a real treat
