Tekken 7 - Regarding the Change to the Sidestepping

Tekken 7 is the latest game in the franchise and in this sort of gaming climate where fighting game developers are taking into consideration the accessibility of their titles, there's always bound to be several system wide changes that not everyone will be familiar with. For Tekken 7, there's several noticeable changes that can be observed for the sake of making the game more accessible to players. Such as the revamp of the Oki system allowing players to easily get up from the ground to the tweaked damage scaling in combos or the generic throw break change as well as the additions of Power Crushes and Rage Arts. There's another of which of these changes it's regarding the side stepping in the system. Now as we may remember, early reports came out after Tekken 7's launch and players were noticing that the sidestepping in the game was made weaker compared to the previous Tekken games. Harada at Final Round this year described the change as 'We made tweaks to the side steps but the side walking wasn't really touched on' - What I'm personally curious is as to what the players feel about this change. For this topic, I went ahead and asked whoever I could on how they feel about the game and you can read all about it below.

Tekken 7 - Over an Hour of Furumizu Footage from the Oslo Batting Center

There's currently plenty of sources to look for when it comes to direct feed footage of Tekken 7 - Multiple arcades in Japan like Guntama's Miracle In arcade, Gao's Game Plaza, Akihabara's Leisure Land and also Knee's Tekken 7 stream from the KMBOX branch in South Korea. The Oslo's Batting Centre which is in Tokyo's Tachikawa region looks to join this list since there's now been efforts to record matches from there. Just to give some background on the place, it's primarily a place to take rounds batting in a steel cage but it also houses multiple Tekken 7 cabs for people to play. This place is more well known for players like Deku (Ryo), Mister, Furumizu and more going in there to take advantage of the cheaper game credits per Yen in the place (It's 50 yen per game in here as opposed to the usual 100 yen.) The first recorded piece of recorded T7 footage from the batting center is Furumizu (Paul) doing online matches against a high ranked Law and Feng player. If there's more footage to come out of this place, you can find them all on the masatoshi1102 YouTube channel.
