Tekken 7 version 1.04 patch restores black color palettes in character customization

Yesterday, the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One versions of Tekken 7 were updated to Version 1.04. Though no notes were officially released, the PS4’s Update History simply reads, “Fixed bugs related to some Customization items,” meaning that this 740 MB update was likely intended to restore the dark and black color palettes to Character Customization. These palettes were removed in Version 1.03, due to the discovery that a certain Dragunov costume could be painted entirely black.

Additionally, the Tekken 7 Twitter account stated that PC players would be receiving an update to the Steam version at the end of this month, with all of the currently-released console changes rolled into a one single patch. Harada also clarified that players should be able to use pure black colors “VERY soon. However, depending on the type of Customization, it will be somewhat closer to gray.” You can see the Tweets, as well as a screenshot of the PS4’s Update History, below.

BornFree talks to Daigo about Evo, ELEAGUE, Red Bull Kumite, and getting emotional in a match

If there was one player who was conspicuous by his absence from the last day of Street Fighter V at Evo 2017, it would have to be Cygames Beast’s Daigo Umehara. The fighting game legend has missed his second Evo top 8 in a row and has generally not been as dominant in Street Fighter V as he was in the previous game.

At Evo 2017, Mark “BornFree” Sheridan (with Zhi Liang Chew translating) got the chance to get together with Daigo for an interview. In the video below, Daigo talks about a number of topics, not just limited to Evo. They even go as far back as ELEAGUE, where Daigo talks about his match with Eita. The latter’s style of Ken play really got under Daigo’s skin in that match which resulted in him dropping his usual defensive style with Guile in favor of going head to head with Eita’s Ken. He admitted to enjoying getting emotional in that match and that the crowd enjoyed it as well. Additionally, the match reminded Daigo of an old-school, man-on-man battle of wills from the arcade days, and he promised to himself that he would remember that feeling moving forward.

Moving on to other events and other players, he talks about his match with Echo Fox’s Tokido at Red Bull Kumite. Specifically, he mentions how he didn’t want to exit the event in an unsatisfactory manner, this is why he turned up the offense against Tokido in that match.

Daigo also moves even further back to the past, talking about Alex Valle with whom he had a legendary rivalry back in the turn of the millenium. Daigo considers Valle to be the strongest Ryu player he had faced at the time, and it was thanks to Valle showing him what Ryu could do that he started playing the character that’s now so closely associated with him.

Of course, this isn’t all that they talk about. Daigo also talks about the future, including which characters he wants to come back in Street Fighter V – specifically mentioning Gen, Rolento (who he played in Street Fighter Alpha 3), Evil Ryu, and Sagat, the last one of which he wants for Bonchan. He also talks a bit about other games such as Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite, Arika’s unnamed fighting game, and Dragon Ball: Fighter Z.

Exclusive Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite Black Panther and Monster Hunter crossover comic coming to Gamestop

With Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite focusing on Capcom crossing over with the Marvel universe, it’s a great space for telling stories not just in the game, but also in comic book form. We’ve already seen special MvC: Infinite variant covers coming to select Marvel books next month however, what’s missing is an actual comic book based on the game’s setting, until now.

At their panel at the San Diego Comic-Con, Capcom announced a special crossover comic book, coming exclusively to Gamestop. The 20 page comic book sets the merging of Wakanda, from Marvel’s Black Panther comics, with the Val Habar region from Capcom’ Monster Hunter games.

We’ve already seen the results of these with the “Valkanda” stage seen in the Versus demos that Capcom’s been lugging around to events. The comic should then show how the normal residents of both places react to the merge.

Available exclusively at Gamestop, the comic book will be available in both English and French. In the meantime, here’s a shot of the slide from Capcom’s presentation, showing the cover of the book, from Fresno Gaming’s JardFGC.
