Scallywag93 teaches how to punish from the Forced Crouch state of Tekken 7

Crouching states work differently in the 3D genre than what 2D players are likely used to. When crouching, you not only get access to new moves, but you also get a completely different set of moves while you’re rising from the crouching to standing state. On top of that, there’s various ways to cancel the crouching state, and those methods tend to differ a little bit between different 3D fighters.

Because of this, there are lots of punishment opportunities that slip right by new 3D players. There are many different types of moves that force you into a crouching state on block or hit, which limits what you can do afterwards. That does not mean these moves are safe, though — and if you know your character’s options from crouch, you can make better decisions as you encounter new forced crouch situations.

Upcoming Tekken 7 x Final Fantasy XV promotional event will shed more light on Noctis DLC

Though fans had quite the hype reaction to the reveal of Noctis for Tekken 7, we haven’t heard anything about the Final Fantasy XV protagonist in a while. Until now, we have only seen the Noctis reveal trailer and a loose release window of Spring 2018 — an upcoming event will finally give us some more information about the character.

Gematsu reports that Square Enix is hosting a FFXV promotional event this week in Japan. Though the event, titled “Alternative Time Report,” will showcase the RPG game, it will also feature Tekken 7 producer Katsuhiro Harada. Harada will share news regarding the Noctis DLC for Tekken, so it could be a release date and/or more game-play footage.

The “Alternative Time Report” stream will air on YouTube on March 14th, at 8:00 PM JST (6:00 AM CT/4:00 AM PT).

Stay tuned to Shoryuken for more information about Noctis DLC as it is revealed.
