Tekken 7 roundup: Heihachi crossups, Jin Parry combos, Eliza wall carry, and more!

Another week, another avalanche of strange and powerful tech in the world of Bandai Namco’s juggernaut 3D fighter, Tekken 7.

Do you have a tech trap developed for your character yet? Because it seems like a lot of people are starting to figure out consistent ways to exploit wall techs in this game… For example, check out this insane crossup with Heihachi from ncea. Normally when you see a crossup it involves the overlapping hitbox of forward jump 4’s, but ncea has found new ways to exploit waking up hitboxes.

Leonid Vdovichenko found that tech trap situations make Xiaoyu’s RDS U+1 to hit on a later frame, allowing her to combo into AOP 2,1.

If you ever wondered why the Japanese tier lists consistently put Claudio so low despite his amazing hopkick, this punishment guide from Proper Tech might open your eyes.

Byakko shows off some 3rd Strike-esque parry punishes with this Jin Kazama combo video.

HelloMrBrahms has a ridiculous wall carry combo for Eliza to show off. It looks like you’re gonna hit the opposite wall no matter where you are.

Lastly, if you’re still struggling with combos for Ling, Kazuya, Lili or Akuma, rooflemonger has continued his excellent beginner combos series for those characters:

– Break the Piggy Bank: Steam Summer Sale Starts June 22nd

According to PayPal UK, the Steam Summer Sale will be kicking off on Thursday, June 22nd. The information was leaked by the company’s Twitter account so, while technically not “official”, it’s a pretty reliable indicator and the past has proven that PP’s leaks have been accurate. We’ll have to wait for Valve’s official word.

AnimEvo announces Gundam Versus will be free to enter, guaranteed prizes TBA

AnimEvo, an independently-organized group dedicated to running anime fighter events at Evo, have announced that Gundam Versus will be free to enter this year. The 2v2 Bandai Namco fighter launches on July 6th in Japan, and sometime in fall in Europe and North America.

In addition, AnimEvo confirmed there will be a future announcement about guaranteed prizes for the free event.

Eighty Sixed is already confirmed to be offering prizes for other AnimEvo events. Could the future Gundam prizes be related, or is perhaps Bandai Namco offering their support behind this free-to-enter tournament?
