The Tekken 7 Fated Retribution location tests in Japan are on this weekend! Things kick off at the select 3 arcades (Namco Sugamo, Round One Stadium Sennichimae & Namco Hakata Bus Terminal) starting on the Friday (Feb 12) at 10 AM in Japan time. This is roughly 3 hours before ATP Live starts on this Thursday. Expect news to pour out from Japan on the game at the time. I'll try to cover as much as I can as I get news and info from online reports and videos. On the Saturday (Feb 13) at 1 PM Japan time, Namco Sugamo will be doing a niconico stream for the location test only on that day. The niconico stream will have commentary by Yuu, Nobi & Hameko and teases a special guest for the stream. You can watch the niconico stream by creating a free account then logging in when it goes live. For those who can't catch it live, I'll be archiving it on YouTube in the least if you cannot watch the niconico stream. The niconico stream URL is as follows:

Tekken 7 - Namco Sugamo's End of Year Megane Grand Prix

Happy New Year everyone! Contained within are the Megane Grand Prix videos which recently took place in Namco Sugamo arcade as their big end of 2015 Tekken event. Hosted by Shudy, the format for 2015's Megane Grand Prix is 3on3 Teams with Waseda style format which pits every member on a team against each other opponent on the opposing team at the same time. Each win from a player gives the team a single point and the team with the most points wins. This team tournament is not similar to the MASTERCUP format as it doesn't have that aspect of a winning player carrying momentum to defeat an enemy team. If you need visual representation of this, check out the top right corner of the 1st image in this tweet. Alongside the Waseda 3on3 team tournament, there's also high level Japanese deathmatches, beginner tournaments, Nobi Tekken lesson videos are more uploaded and available to watch. Big thanks to Shudy! You can follow his channels here:
