Arslan Ash releases new tier list for Tekken 7
FATE|Arslan Ash might just be the best player in the world at competitive Tekken 7. With updates seemingly finished for Tekken 7, Arslan Ash recently released a tier list for the game.
On this particular tier list, all 51 characters that are playable in Tekken 7 have been divided up into one of five different groups — SS tier, S tier, A tier, B tier and C tier. It is interesting to note that the only two fighters that have been positioned in SS tier are actually guest characters that hail from other companies.
PlayStation's Mid-Year Sale includes Guilty Gear Strive at the lowest price we've seen plus King of Fighters 15 and more sweet deals
Now that Summer is basically upon us, you could go and enjoy some nice outdoor activities, but you could also stay inside and kick the butts of your friends and family in some cheap fighting games.
PlayStation is currently running their Mid-Year and Level Up Sales, which includes the lowest price we've seen for Guilty Gear Strive digitally plus sweet deals on The King of Fighters 15 and a bunch of other fighting games / DLC.
Here are 109 moves from Tekken that can also be found in Pokkén Tournament
Pokkén Tournament is typically seen as a spinoff of Tekken, except with Pokémon filling out its roster. That description doesn't exactly tell the whole story for Pokkén Tournament, but it's not entirely inaccurate either.
Regardless, every game from the Tekken series and Pokkén Tournament were both developed by Bandai Namco, so the existence of the similarities do make sense. With this in mind, it's not too surprising to hear that many moves that appear in Tekken have also made their way into the Pokémon spinoff. As such, Hi! Buff Gigas Please? has recently released a couple of videos that highlight moves that appear in both series.
Poll Results: Who are the best and worst dads or father figures in fighting games?
Update: Voting has come to a close for our latest polls, so you can see who the community picked as their best / worst fighting game dads below.
In case you haven't looked at a calendar, today happens to be Father's Day, which a ton of fighting game characters probably have some complex and conflicted feelings about.
From Tekken to Dead or Alive, the genre has a unique mix of dads and adoptive father figures who are either the biggest dirtbags on Earth or surprisingly wholesome, but which among them could be considered the best of the best or being awful?
'I literally thought he was **** or something' - Harada and MarkMan talk first meeting Yoshinori Ono and his big ideas that changed the FGC
While Yoshinori Ono has become something of a divisive figure in the fighting game community, he was for many years revered as the man who revived Street Fighter with his big personality and even bigger ideas.
Longtime Tekken Director Katsuhiro Harada and Evo Director of Business Development MarkMan Julio recently discussed their first impressions after meeting the former Street Fighter Producer and how some of his ideas changed the FGC into more of what it is today.
Soul Calibur's Taki, Dead or Alive's Kasumi, or Tekken's Asuka... which of Danielle Vedovelli's 3D fighter cosplays is best?
One of our favorite cosplayers is back on EventHubs as the lovely Danielle Vedovelli shows off a trio of cosplays that all come from fighting games that allow players to travel along the Z-axis.
Danielle becomes Taki from Soul Calibur, Kasumi from Dead or Alive, and Asuka from Tekken, the latter of which she's hardly recognizable in. All three of these 3D fighting females look gorgeous in these photos, but which is the best?
Tekken 2 is reportedly being listed for $10,000 mistakenly via the PlayStation Plus service... but Katsuhiro Harada seems thrilled
Sony has officially launched their premium PlayStation Plus service, a new subscription service that enables its subscribers the ability to access hundreds of titles that range from the original PlayStation to the latest PlayStation 5.
Among the games listed via the PlayStation Plus service is Tekken 2 for the low, low price of $9,999.00. Yes, you read that correctly: Tekken 2 is reportedly being priced under the PlayStation Plus service for just a dollar short of $10,000.00.
Here's the full list of fighting games included on PlayStation Plus' newly launched subscription service
We've been hearing about PlayStation's plans to incorporate a new subscription service to try and rival the Xbox Game Pass, and now it's finally time to see what it's all about.
Sony has officially launched the new PlayStation Plus service featuring hundreds of titles from the original console up to the PlayStation 5, and there's a good bit of fighting games on the table too.
Fan mod adds content creator King Jae to the roster of Tekken 7
It seems like Bandai Namco has concluded their DLC for Tekken 7 with the release of Season 4's Kunimitsu and Lidia. The release of the Originals and Definitive Editions for Tekken 7 back in November of 2021 certainly cements this as being the case.
However, it's still technically possible for fans to add their ideas for characters into Tekken 7 via modding. As such, a mod that makes YouTube content creator King Jae into a playable fighter in Tekken 7 is now available for free on tekkenmods.com.

Save big on King of Fighters 15, Granblue Fantasy: Versus and more fighter deals in Sony's Days of Play and Steam's SNK Publisher Sale
Digital video game sales seem to be popping up more and more these days, and it's always nice to see them include either newer fighting games or those that don't get discounted very often.
Both Sony and Steam are currently running sales events that fighting game fans should be interested in between the Days of Play and SNK Publisher Sale that includes discounts on The King of Fighters 15, Granblue Fantasy: Versus and many more titles.
Street Fighter 5 takes a page out of Tekken 7's book with this hype slow-mo KO clip
One of the interesting gameplay features found in Tekken 7 that definitely brings the hype when it comes to highly competitive matches is its Super Slow-Mo mechanic. When the life bars are low and two attacks come into play simultaneously, the game will dramatically slow down during the attack animations to increase the suspense and put people on the edge of their seats to see who wins the exchange.
There really isn't any mechanic like this currently in Street Fighter 5, but under the right circumstances the same effect can be attained and be just as hype. In a recent clip from professional competitor Phenom, we see a slow down moment between Luke and Ken that definitely looks like it came right out of Tekken 7.
Tekken 7 has achieved over 9 million sales worldwide according to Katsuhiro Harada
It's been reported by Bandai Namco's Katsuhiro Harada that Tekken 7 has now achieved over 9 million sales worldwide. This also means that Tekken 7 is now the overall best-selling entry in the series as Tekken 3 by this point has reportedly sold 8.3 million units worldwide.
According to Harada's released statistics, Tekken as a whole has now sold over 53 million units throughout the series' lifespan. As such, Tekken 7 by itself represents one-sixth of Tekken's lifetime sales.
Tekken is coming to Virtua Fighter 5 as awesome DLC collaboration trailer shows off tons of exciting details
Virtua Fighter 5 is getting a Tekken twist as a Tekken-themed collaboration DLC pack is rolling out for the game on June 1.
No fewer than 19 of the King of Iron Fist combatants will be visually represented in Virtua Fighter 5 via brand new skins that turn characters like Akira and Lau into Kazuya and Heihachi. There's even more than skins, however, and the new trailer below tells all.

Tekken World Tour 2022 announced and returning to offline events starting in June
Tekken players had largely been stuck with only online tournaments for larger events for over 2 years now, but that time is officially coming to an end.
Just before the start of Tekken 7 top 8 at Combo Breaker 2022, Bandai Namco announced that the Tekken World Tour is returning, and we'll be seeing the offline action begin in less than a month.
