1,600+ changes.

I feel like this bears repeating every time a new Tekken post is made on this site — there were 1,600+ changes in Season 2 of Tekken 7. (Insert a joke here about 50% of those changes just being Lei’s movelist.) It’s a new day, so let’s take a look at what the community has cooked up today with the Season 2 changes:

Let’s start off with mastermind’s analysis of Season 2 Kazumi, whom he feels is one of the most changed characters in the new season.

Glad to see this silly back-turned glitch survived the patch. Thanks, REEKEE.

Here are some combos using Alisa’s Season 2 wall bounce, and a surprising link you may not have known about.

It can be difficult to know where to start with Lei, especially when there’s some actions he can do that aren’t listed in the movelist. NurseLee has some tips and tricks to get you started with some of Lei’s stance properties and hidden moves:

Since her release, the story of Anna has more or less been: “If you are willing to learn, Anna will out-damage your opponents.” Case in point, A A JOB‘s latest demonstration:

Let’s close out today’s post with EvilBowlOfCereal‘s examination of the new combo possibilities of Katarina. Katarina never hurt for damage, so these powerful combos combined with her new utility make her a frightening beast.

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.

The early part of 1999 featured the release of two beloved item-using fighting games — Nintendo’s Smash Bros. series and Capcom’s Power Stone series. The latter, while remembered fondly, has been somewhat overlooked in recent times by both the FGC and its own developer. ProviderOfSouls wishes to change that with his detailed breakdown of the game’s mechanics and a new home for competitive play:

If you were unfamiliar with this 3-button arcade fighter or looking to play some games with those that appreciate its meta as much as ProviderOfSouls does, check out the video above or hop into the Power Stones Discord!

French SoulCalibur player Hayate is one of the Calibur community’s living legends, likely best known for his sweep of Team Belgium with bottom tier Yunsung in SoulCalibur II. More than that, he’s one of the game’s best minds and the one of the French scene’s hardest working promoters: so it’s no surprise that he’s been putting out excellent content covering the gameplay of SoulCalibur VI‘s cast. Today, he turns his attention to the dramatically-improved Nightmare.

Hayate calls him “the scariest character in the game” for good reason — Nightmare can bully his opponents at ranges most others can’t fight him at, and disrespect frame disadvantage with his powerful armor moves. Managing Night Terror states will be the primary focus of both Nightmare and his opponent — check out the video above to learn more!
