Tekken 7 Season 2 Roundup: Anna 50/50s at wall, Lei Rage Drive setups, and more!

Another day, another tech roundup for Tekken 7 Season 2. You know the drill by now — the community is working hard to break down Season 2, and we’re here to collect their discoveries. Let’s jump in!

Let’s open up today with some Anna tech, courtesy of UYU_Fergus — since she can spike off a wall combo, she gets this incredibly juicy 50/50 at the wall.

He’d also like to remind you that Anna’s RA can be performed from crouch, giving her a uniquely strong punish tool in specific match-ups:

Scallywag 93 covers Claudio’s changes, and explains why we were all wrong about our fear of Claudio’s starburst-less moves.

REEKEE shows off a juggle into Heihachi’s 10-string. Disrespectful and damaging.

xMTSento developed some of Xiaoyu’s most disgusting setups in Season 1, and it’s no surprise he’s got more dirty tricks in Season 2.

And closing us out today is Mellowlink, who gives a rundown on the ups and downs of each of Lei’s Rage Drives, with setups to boot.

Thanks to everyone that submitted content to us! If you have some Tekken 7 tech you’d like to share with the world, reach out to us through our tipline.

Inferno leaked as an unlockable mimic character in Soul Calibur VI

The Eternal Flame of Soul Edge’s will reignites!

With the game’s release now less than a month away — as well as the 2018 Tokyo Game Show in full-swing — there has been an absolute massive amount of news and footage trickling out for Bandai Namco Entertainment’s Soul Calibur VI. While we’ve already seen the official reveals of Cervantes de Leon and Raphael Sorel, as well as a large amount of footage from pro players Kayane and Hayatei, another huge leak has apparently sprung: Inferno, the flaming physical embodiment of Soul Edge.

The series starting titular antagonist is reportedly obtainable after reaching Level 20 in the Soul Chronicle mode, taking up the currently-open slot in the middle of the character select screen between Sophia and Geralt, and will serve as the game’s Mimic character, who will battle with the styles of randomly-chosen fighters among the entire available cast by generating weapons from his body, just as he did back in Soul Calibur I.

YouTuber Dynasty speculates that, due to the text displayed upon acquiring him, that there could possibly be other “Bonus” characters, but that obviously remains to be seen. You can see the full video, as well as some images of Inferno on Twitter, below.

What do you think of this latest news? Are you excited to see the Classic Boss officially return to the Stage of History? Are you disappointed that he appears to be a Mimic character, ala Edge Master or Mokujin? Or are you hoping for some more secret unlockable characters that haven’t been revealed yet, when the game launches? Sound off in the Comments section.

Soul Calibur VI will be released for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Steam PC on Friday, October 19th.
