The Tekken reddit community is compiling a list of Tekken 7 concerns for Bandai Namco to address

While the Tekken 7 release was much more well-received than Street Fighter V‘s, there were still issues found with the game that made it less enjoyable for a lot of players. Taking a page out of the Street Fighter community’s book, reddit users are currently compiling a list of issues that need to be addressed in order of urgency, as decided by the players, with plans to submit it to Bandai Namco.

This, much like the one compiled by /r/StreetFighter, is being compiled by the /r/Tekken community, and all data compiled will be used to judge the order of importance placed on the issues.

Early BlazBlue: Central Fiction 2.0 tier list gives a new perspective on the competitive landscape

The 2.0 patch for BlazBlue: Central Fiction hasn’t been out for very long in arcades in Japan, and it is coming to consoles soon. But as we well know, tier lists are popular means of looking at the overall balance of the game. Though opinionated and usually lacking the nuance that certain match-ups and player skill carries, they’re nonetheless launching points for discussion.

Dora, the ever-popular Bang player from Japan who made it to top 8 at this year’s Evolution, has been active in producing more BlazBlue content. The other day, he got busy creating the latest tier list. The list only used two axes, higher up being top tier and characters below placed as low tier. Therefore, the order in which they are placed doesn’t signify much. Dora doesn’t specify whether there’s a “letter difference” between them, but here are the names typed out:

S: Es, Nine, Platinum, Litchi

A: Rachel, Arakune, Carl, Hakumen, Valkenhayn, Hazama, Kagura, Azrael, Hibiki, Makoto

B: Susano’o, Naoto, Lambda=11, Nu=13, Mu=12, Relius Clover, Tsubaki, Tager

C: Mai, Izanami, Kokonoe, Amane, Izayoi, Noel, Jin, Ragna

D: Celica, Bullet, Terumi, Bang, Taokaka

Jubei isn’t placed.

Dora also stresses that the balance is closer before, so it’s necessarily true that characters like Jin, Izanami, etc. are “C tier.” He called the characters in that row “mid tier.” Overall, there isn’t as much of a difference in power as before.

Dora says that Es is extremely strong now, especially seeing Ronitta’s performance with her. Platinum also saw some recent usage from top players. Though he points out that Ragna is good against Es. Check out the full video below, where Dora starts to talk about his tier list at about 15:00 in.

Witness the first 24 Minutes of Absolver, courtesy of IGN

IGN has given us an an exclusive look at the first 24 minutes of Absolver, the indie hand-to-hand combat game set to release very soon. As Player 1 takes a scenic route through Absolver‘s archaic landscape, basic controls, mechanics and the origin story of the game are exhibited.

The early combat interactions demonstrate that there are not just different ways to attack, but a unique defense system is also in place — with the main character having the choice to block, dodge or, more stylishly, avoid enemy blows. A leveling system and a practice mode are also explored during a brief interaction with a friendly mask during the player’s first resting point. A save spot of sorts gives the player an option to spend XP on building their “move decks” or to hone their new skills in a training realm accessed through a “Meditation” mode.

These are just a few takeaways from the full 24-minute walkthrough, which leaves a great impression of the game’s graphics and playability. You can view the whole exhibition in the video below, and hang tight as the August 29th release date of Absolver is less than a week away.

Stay locked on to Shoryuken, as we’ll have more Absolver coverage coming as the game hits store shelves on the 29th!
