Bandai Namco: 'more awesome content is on the way for Tekken 7'

Relaying the official word from Bandai Namco Entertainment, more 'awesome content' is on the way for Tekken 7 (and SoulCalibur VI). Tekken 7 has recently wrapped up its third Season Pass of DLC content with the launch of Fahkumram and Cave of Enlightenment, leaving Tekken fans to speculate as to what was next for the series. Would we be moving on to Tekken 8 or Tekken X Street Fighter? Or carry on with Tekken 7 with the fourth Season and Season Pass. Going by the company's word in their latest PR, it looks like Tekken 7 is here to stay and will continue to see developer support even 5 years after the game's initial arcade debut. I'll leave BN's latest Press Release and Recap video but it's worth mentioning that there is still a stray DLC entry for the game over on Steamdb.

Photo by @HelloItsLiFresh off his recent Combo Breaker victory, Knee heads back home and recaps his experiences competing in the Tekken 7 tournament at the event.

This gives us foreigners a better POV from Knee of what he was thinking as he was playing and watching the tournament matches.

Ring Out San Francisco Event Recap with Xephukai, Hates & Ceirnian

An exhibition for Soul Calibur 6 took place last week and the players that managed to make it there were able to get together and tell their thoughts on the experience at the event and on Soul Calibur 6 itself. This recap session with Xephukai, Hates & Ceirnian were streamed live on Twitch but the mic volume levels were off in some places and there wasn't a structure to the recap so skip forward a bit from the intro to the more interesting topics. There's some insightful discussion ion here on how Soul Calibur 6 is shaping up and their current thoughts in the game so feel free to listen if you're interested from hearing from notable SC players. You can catch the YouTube archive of the recap over on Xephukai's YouTube page.

Jeondding's Recap of his Matches for Top 8 at Evo 2017

Top Korean Eddy player Jeondding competed at Evo this year and put up some incredibly close games with the now Evo champion JDCR. Now that Jeondding has settled back home, he recently got on his Twitch stream to do a quick recap of his experience and matches for Tekken 7's Top 8. Since he did this live in Korean and on his stream, we have to thank dommynick on Neogaf for taking the time to breakdown the main bits and translate them into English for us. There's some great insight in here that goes into what a foreign player has to prepare for when transitioning from the arcade Tekken experience to the console tournament setting so it makes for an interesting read if you're interested in what was going through Jeondding's mind while he was playing. You can read the translation/breakdown of Jeondding's stream over on Neogaf's Tekken 7 thread.
