NorCal StrongStyle Returns February 10-11, 2018

And it's back! StrongStyle 2018 is taking place February 10/11, 2018 at the DoubleTree by the Hilton Hotel in San Jose, California. It's been 3 years since the last StrongStyle event but this dedicated Tekken tournament series will see Tekken 7 being played when it comes back in early 2018. Team Spooky and the 10/0 team will be organizing the production behind the event with EightArc and Qanba USA sponsoring the event. In the words of NSS subt-L, this event will be streamed live this time so you won't miss it but you'll still want to be in the event in person. Can personally confirm, StrongStyle~5 was a great event looking back at Tekken Tag Tournament 2's life. Look out for more news and info on the tournament later as we get closer to the date. For now, check out the Strongstyle 2018 teaser video.

The Reason Why JDCR Plays Dragunov in Tekken 7

Here's a short but straight to the point video clip for you if you happen to have been googling the aforementioned. While you're here, have a casual reminder that the PlayStation 4 version of Tekken is still currently the most laggiest in terms of input response time platform to play Tekken 7 on with the PC and even the Xbox One beating it in prior testing. Here's to hoping the PS4 version gets that issue sorted out in the future, if it even can at all. The Twitch clip below comes from JDCR's recent Twitch stream that was on earlier today.
