I've played Tekken exactly once in my entire life but I'm going to get this game on PC and try to learn a character who is fun to play and incredibly cool-looking (tbd).

I'll be playing with a PS4 gamepad. How does the claw grip work? One finger per face button?

i think panda and kuma are the same character aside from their rage art?

yea that's what I think too but it's been forever.

I know exactly 1 male character then, and that knowledge is mainly just 'pin them to the wall and eat their face'

I don't think mine can handle the simultaneous keypresses, plus I really like the d-pad on the DS4. Looking forward to figuring out how to press the rest of the buttons.

I pre-ordered the PC version from gamesplanet because they were offering the deluxe edition in gbp for the same as the regular edition plus tax in USD. Then I forgot about it because I did that in February. Cut to me pre-ordering the regular edition on steam last month, then receiving my code from gamesplanet two weeks ago. Facepalm.

Can someone post a character select screenshot of the final game whenever they find one? I've looked but it seems like it doesn't exist yet. Was hoping a review article somewhere would have one at least!

Thanks! Looks like Kuma and Panda are actual separate chars, I wonder how different they actually are.

Also like, how did they decide the character order? The only thing that halfway makes sense is all the Mishimas are near the center. It doesn't really matter of course but man it's weird!

Asking as someone who knows literally nothing about Tekken: what makes the top tiers in Tekken games top tier? Is it just good frames? Like, what made Bob so oppressive in Tekken 6 and why are the Mishimas so consistently good?

It looks like there's some logic behind their organization on the select screen. Paul and Law are near each other. Lars and Alisa are close. But then the rest are just like whatever who cares it's character select.

short answer: there's a lot that goes into it

Some characters have a ton of good buttons, or an answer to everything, or 50/50 mixups, or good evasion and punishment, or all of the above

Every character has their fine points, the tiers are pretty close in t7 if all accounts are to be believed. Top Tier in t7 appears to be because stuff like hwaorang's launching power crush or xiaoyu's aop are extremely good.

Bob in t6 had plus frame bulldogging mids and good lows in db3+4 and something else iirc.

Mishimas that have a player that can EWGF are consistently good because it's a 13 frame launcher that does good damage and has advantage on block. They all usually have pretty good buttons to go along side that but a mishima that can't EWGF is probably not going to be as scary as one who can.

Other people will have better answers than this for you hopefully but maybe this'll give you something to think about until someone posts them

Is there a glossary for all those acronyms? I know generic fighting games ones but there seem to be like dozens of Tekken-specific ones. Even the beginner's character guide posted earlier uses stuff like "i13 CH" without explanation

Thanks! I was reading that list and thought it was somewhat intimidating. Then I saw that other "Tekken Jargon" page with over 200 entries and :stare:

Funny that all the tutorial and character pages are blank, though. For a game that's been out for years in arcades it feels like there should be more material up already

A big portion of that page is stupid and unnecessary outside of staring at a movelist and wanting to know every last detail of a move's properties. No one uses abbreviations for types of hitstun or whatever, and outside of WGF you don't need to memorize abbreviations for characters you don't play.
