Tekken 7 - MakoRyu Deathmatch Video from MASTERCUP

This video is perfect in showing how fucking obnoxious Jack-7 has gotten in this game. I'm not even sure if you're the kind of person that enjoys hour long deathmatch videos but this is one to watch just for the starting deathmatch between MakoRyu (a strong Mishima player from Osaka) & Taisei (Tekken God Japanese Bruce/Jack-6 player). It's not even 10 minutes long, I'll tell you that much! And before anyone asks, yes the whole full crouch f+1,2,1 into Debugger is NC and guaranteed. Yeah. Then onwards, the video proceeds with MakoRyu deathmatching other people so there's more to the video if you want more. Of course, big thanks goes to the Official MASTERCUP YouTube channel for uploading the video, you can check out the rest of the channel here:

Tekken 7 - Tier List from Top Japanese Player Yuu

Yuu (ユウ) of team No Respect from Japan is among the most well known Japanese Feng players and since the launch of Tekken 7 in arcades, he's been updating his own Tekken blog with a lot of gameplay related topics and discussions as well as answering gameplay related questions from players to help them learn the new game. The most recent update on his blog site is his current thoughts on a tier list for this game in the now available version of the game which has 27 characters (last time release character being Kazumi.) It's just the view of one high ranking Tekken player but Yuu himself stresses in the post that this isn't a completely 'correct' tier list for the game since that requires the thoughts of several other high level players and to sort their character evaluations among them into numerical figures for a big diagram to get a good average and placing for each characters. Yuu says he might plan something like that in the future but for now it's a hassle so here's just his current thoughts. You can read the tier list on his blog here or below for a translation:
