Tekken 7 FR Update Ver.Q Adds Console Stages to the Arcades

The arcade version of Tekken 7 Fated Retribution is getting a new online update on the 14th of November and it is said to be bringing new stages to that version of the game. Listed in the Tekken Official notice for the new update, Version Q will be bringing over three stages that are from the console/PC release of Tekken 7. The three stages making their way to the arcade side are G.CORP Helipad (Day), Violet Systems & Infinite Azure. Although there are way more stages in the console version that are still not in the arcade version, the update mentions that there are plans to add in more stages from the home version eventually so look forward to that if you happen to play in arcades. Especially since the Arena stage was featured in the Lars NJPW costume trailer. Apart from that, not much else to say about the update since it contains no balance changes. For the source on the update notice including images of the three stages, check out the official Tekken website:

Tekken 7 - Lee Chaolan Character Breakdown from Help Me

For those who don't know, Help Me is a seasoned Tekken veteran from Korea and if you ask any other Lee player out there, they would tell you he is the world's best Lee player. He's often playing a large portion of the cast at a high level too so he definitely knows what he is talking about when it comes to breaking down what a character can do in comparison to all the other characters. In a recent stream from the leejjjan Twitch channel, Malgu and Help Me sat down with the chatroom to breakdown his main character in Tekken 7. Since the stream was in Korean, the TZ discord user rice_eel has come forward to transcribe the details and translate most of the information in the session into English for us to absorb. It's an in depth review of the character's moveset so this makes a good resource for people looking into the character. Big thanks goes to rice_eel for the translating, I've added both the source video and his translation below.

New Lars Costume & Theme Revealed in 3rd Arcade T7FR x NJPW Collaboration

A 3rd collaboration between Arcade Tekken 7 Fated Retribution and New Japan Pro Wrestling has come to light through a new trailer. Lars Alexandersson is getting a new in-game costume inspired by Hiroshi Tanahashi and it comes with an entirely new Rage Art animation 'Sling Blade' as well as the 'LOVE&ENERGY' theme that'll play when you use the outfit. The collaboration will start in the Japanese Tekken-net starting from the 18th of November so be out on the look out for that if you happen to have access to those arcade cabinets. No word yet on if this will come to console/PC Tekken 7 but it might in the future seeing as the King x NJPW costume did make it into the game. You can check out the NJPW Lars costume trailer below.
