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.

Eddy of America VS Eddy of Korea - Spero Gin VS Jeondding Set from SCR 2017

Highlighting a set of Eddy mirror matches between Jeondding and Spero Gin while they both were at SoCal Regionals. It's a hand cam video of their casuals but these players are both considered amongst the top if not the best Eddy players in their regions so it's interesting to see how the two styles fare in a post tournament set. With nothing but national pride on the line, check out who came out as the Capoiera master. Credit for the video upload goes to Kassiopia on YouTube.

The Tekken World Tour Standings are Currently Incorrect. Here's a Link to the Correctly Updated Standings

It has been brought to our attention recently that the current Tekken World Tour standings have been incorrectly calculated as of right now. At least for the Asia-Pacific region, I'm not paying too much attention to how the maths are currently being counted across the whole board. It is said that top 5 Tekken point earners in the 3 regional leaderboards are invited to the grand finals later this year but the point allocation haven't been completely following in line with the rules on the Tekken World Tour website. The leaderboards were a bit slow to update before but the incorrect points now make it unreliable to follow. Thankfully, Sathaporn on Twitter has taken upon himself to follow all the TWT event news and curate an online document that is reflecting the current standings more reliably. This makes for a more handy bookmark should you be interested in following the TWT. You can check out his TWT Standings document below over here:
