Video Footage From Tekken 7 FR Location Tests in Japan

The Tekken 7 Location tests in Japan are well underway and we now have a bunch of video footage to sift through looking for all kinds of new stuff. First off, the official Tekken twitch channel recently streamed several hours of footage from Day 2 of the Location tests from Namco Sugamo arcade and the Twitch archive is now available for viewing. Big thanks to Shudy and the Tekken team for setting up the Twitch stream. I'm so glad I didn't have to sit through a niconico stream.

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:

How to beat Akuma's Fireballs in Tekken 7 Fated Retribution

Tekken-Official just put up a page that focuses on options of dealing with Akuma's fireballs. Akuma is a new inclusion from the game hailing from the Street Fighter series and he brings an interesting dynamic to the core Tekken experience. As such, he pretty much retains a lot of things from his SF4 incarnation but of course balanced in the Tekken world. Jumping in either directions or sidestepping in T7FR will avoid you getting hit by his Hadoukens and each Tekken character has been given moves that have properties that beat out the fireball. There's a list of each Tekken character's attack with this property on the site but I have it translated below for those who have trouble reading it.
