T7FR - Updated List of Moves that Beat Akuma's Fireballs

UPDATE (August 9): List of Bob's moves have now been added!

You may remember a bit back that a list of all the moves that would avoid (override / go under or through etc) Akuma's fireballs in Tekken 7 Fated Retribution was posted up online but that was from an earlier build of the game. Tekken-Official website today posted an updated version of the list and what's included now is a section of moves that some Tekken characters can do that will neutralize the fireball on collision with the Tekken move. The best example off the top of my head to indicate this is if you were to watch the extended E3 2016 trailer for Tekken 7 and seeing Kazuya's EWGF on Akuma's fireball. The list is up now on the site here but I translated the list and highlighter what's new below.

Top Japanese Player Ryo's Impressions of the Mishima Characters in T7FR

Tekken 7 Fated Retribution has been out in arcades for about 2 weeks now and a general idea of which characters are on top are starting to settle in. Ryo (aka Deku) recently posted his impressions of the Mishima characters in the game and I'd say he's a good authority on the matter. They're brief impressions so don't expect anything lengthy or in detail but you can catch his quick thoughts over on his twitter. I translated them below if you can't read the moonrunes.

T7FR - Yoshimitsu Punishment and Fubuki Knee Combo Videos

A Japanese Tekken player named Eston on twitter has recently put out videos on Yoshimitsu showing the best punishers to use with the character as well as look at the combos you do off the Fubuki Knee (ff+4) now that it doesn't combo into BT 2. Damage values are shown in the clips giving you a good indication of which option you should be going for now in T7FR and I transcribed it below into English. And uh... Don't mind the music in the clip.

T7FR - Over An Hour of Only Practice Deathmatches with Nina

Only Practice is back on Tekken 7 with Nina! I don't think it gets any better then this if you wanted to see what Nina is capable of in T7FR. In this deathmatch, Only Practice goes up against Super100's Bryan and it ends up being over an hour long back and forth between them. Thanks goes out to the Green Tekken YouTube channel for the video upload, you can check out the rest of his channel here. Nina's d/b+2 now being -5 on block in T7FR is cheap.
