With Tekken 7 nearing its March 18 arcade release date, as well as making an appearance at Final Round 18, anticipation for the game is quite high. For those looking for more information about the game and its systems, Flying Wonkey over at Avoiding the Puddle has posted an article that breaks down the combo system in the current build.

The article goes quite in-depth, poring over footage from the early release as well as impressions from other players and messages from Bandai Namco’s staff to give a picture how the gameplay stands at this point. One of the more important things it points out is the game’s very heavy damage scaling system, which seems to reward short combos that front-load their damaging moves.

Additionally, the article also notes that this gives insight into the probable routes that most optimized combos will take in the game–comboing into a launcher, filling in a few hits, then transitioning to the title’s new “Screw Attacks” (previously known as “Tailspins”) for the finisher.

Of course, this is just the surface of what the article covers. Head on over to Avoiding the Puddle to read more details, such as some new combos for the cast as well as the developer’s quick removal of a recently discovered floor break glitch.
