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.

Interviews with Harada on Tutorial Mode, Tekken 7 Development and the Future

New interviews with the Tekken head producer Katsuhiro Harada surfaced recently on some gaming sites. The PushSquare & PC Games N's interviews with Harada go over some pretty interesting topics like the current development circumstances for Tekken 7 as well as some minor insights on what they're thinking of for the future of the series. The PGN interview mainly goes over the decision to not include a tutorial into the game but the PushSquare features a more extensive discussion. I'll be adding notable snippets from both below but feel free to read the source interviews in full over on their respective sites:
