Tekken 7 receiving patches this week to address recent issues, matchmaking set to be fixed
It looks as though we'll be seeing a fix very soon. According to the official, European Tekken website, patches will be released this week and next week to address some recent problems.
Firstly, the PC version of the game will see a patch today that improves security and updates Denuvo -- the anti-tamper technology and digital rights management found in modern games. Tekken 7's Denuvo protection was cracked just four days after release, setting the record for the fastest breach.
As for the game's online issues, PlayStation 4 users can expect to see online stability improved by the end of the week. The patch will address the matchmaking issues and will implement other bug fixes.
A similar patch is set to be released on Xbox One and PC sometime next week. Bandai Namco will share more details on these patches shortly.

Random disappearances, mysterious black boxes, and more: Tekken 7's Rage Arts look crazy, but awesome without the cinematic camera
Nelson's TAS and Game Archive sent us a video showing exactly what that might look like. This video contains each character's Rage Art (except the game's pre-order character, Eliza), shown from a stationary camera angle.
Though this brings about some odd behavior, the result is awesome. Check out Miguel's Rage Art which not only makes the opponent disappear from view for a bit, but creates these strange boxes on screen.

Tekken 7's graphics, frame-rate, and load times tested across all its platforms - Xbox One version has the least impressive graphics
According to DigitalFoundry, the PS4 and PS4 Pro versions of Tekken 7 has better graphical fidelity than the Xbox One version. Not only that, but the load times are apparently the worst for the Xbox One version.
Luckily, all versions of the game is able to maintain a constant 60 frames per second during gameplay. This is certainly important in a fighting game.

Tekken 7 move listings, tiers, and stats added to EventHubs
If you'd like to begin casting votes for your favorite characters, be sure to check out our Tekken 7 tiers. Let us know which matches you feel they do well in, which they don't, and which are fairly even.
You can also head over to our stats page, which will provide information such as character popularity, how many registered EH users play them, and more.
Lastly, we have our Tekken 7 moves. Note that only 31 out of 37 of the characters have their full movelist listed, in Japanese - just click the link that is below the character's banner to access them.
You can also hit the jump for quick links to each character's move list.
Eliza has an infinite in Tekken 7
Tekken 7's vampiric beauty, Eliza, is scary not so much because of her fangs, but moreso because she's capable of an infinite combo thanks to her instant dive kick.
The input isn't new for fighting game players, it's just a reverse Tiger Knee motion, and the move itself is very reminiscent of Cammy's instant air Cannon Strike from Street Fighter.
A YouTuber by the name of theater10 has posted a video showing this tech in action. They explain that just-frame timing is required for each of the kicks, so this isn't the easiest of sequences to pull off.
An infinite is an infinite though, and we wouldn't be surprised to see this patched out in the near future, once developers get wind of it.
Check out all of Tekken 7's stunning high resolution character artwork
We certainly do have to give Tekken 7 props for how good everything looks. The characters look stunning in high resolution.
All 38 characters have been included in the gallery. You can check all the images out below and after the jump.
Ryan Hart has two weeks to teach a noob to play Tekken 7 well enough to pass as a pro
After two weeks, the "noob" (by day known as Nino) will have to go in front of a panel of judges and try to fool them into thinking he's a Tekken pro.
We'd normally write this off as near impossible, but he does have Tekken champion Ryan Hart as a coach.
If this were, say, Street Fighter 5, we'd give Nino some decent odds at pulling the challenge off, but the intricacies and nuances that go into high level Tekken play are intimidating to say the least.
If anyone could help pull this off, it would be the highly intelligent Ryan Hart. The UK player does have his work cut out for him though, and we're not sure even he will be able to turn a noob into a passable player in just fourteen days.
'In a pretty good time for fighting games... Tekken 7 will not be outdone' - IGN raves over Tekken 7, deems it 'the best the series has ever been'
Though there have been some reported issues with the online play, Tekken 7 got an absolutely stellar review from IGN one of the most recognizable teams in video game news, .
"No other fighting games master imparting a feeling of each fight growing organically, living and breathing like Tekken, and Tekken 7 is the best the series has ever been," says IGN's Darry Huskey.
If you're on the fence about reading or watching through a full review, here's 15 seconds of the character customization feature that will probably sell you on the game by itself:

Tekken 7 experiencing online play connectivity issues, players reporting 'lost connection' error
Numerous players have reported a "lost connection" error when attempting to play the online mode. Apparently, players are struggling to get into any ranked matches.
I went ahead and tried my luck with the online to see if the reports were accurate, and unfortunately, they are. Heading over to the ranked match list, I was only able to squeak through and get one game after several "lost connection" messages sprouting up immediately after I selected an opponent.
After that, I couldn't even get any matches to pop up on the list.
You can see one of my attempts with the error message below.

Here are my best Tekken 7 customizations
I have put together quite a few customizations now, and today I wanted to share the best ones (in my opinion, of course).
Tekken 7 allows players the ability to be seriously cool all the way to absolutely ridiculous with their creations, and I 100% took advantage of this.
There's just something so dumb about Akuma with a "heartbreaker" t-shirt, cowboy hat, and tiger face paint on... but it's so damn awesome. Personally, the spooky plague doctor Eliza is my favorite custom-character that I assembled.
Anyway, I have included a gallery of screenshots for you to check out. Below are just a handful to get you started, but be sure to hit the jump to see the rest.
LI Joe's father may have just earned FGC parent of the year with yet another special surprise for his son
Long Island Joe became America's first Street Fighter 5 hero when he became the sole representative of the stars and stripes in the top eight bracket of EVO 2016.
As if that weren't enough, Joe's father, Bill, made a surprise appearance at the Sunday finals to cheer his son on directly from the audience.
Though perhaps not in quite as grandiose a setting, Bill surprised his son yet again with an impromptu visit to Joe's work today, this time with a brand new game that isn't even technically out yet:

Tekken 7 review
Though the opposite of this phenomenon is seldom seen in this day and age, it certainly exists, and it’s Tekken 7’s biggest flaw. A little over two years after its arcade release in Japan, Bandai Namco’s latest entry in their legendary fighting franchise has come to consoles, and though it’s bigger and badder than ever, it falls short in a handful of important areas.
Despite its age, Tekken 7 still looks great. The 3D fighting series has always provided highly detailed character models and gorgeous backdrops on which to do battle, and this installment keeps the tradition alive and well.
Matches have more of a cinematic feel to them due to the powerful Rage Arts – hard-hitting super moves that players can access when their health is low – and the slowdown that occurs when two attacks are set to land at nearly the same time and decide the match outcome.
These features make bouts even more epic and are a welcome addition to an already enjoyable experience. However, getting to a point where you can comfortably participate in said experience is a challenge.
