Tekken 7 - Arcade Online Update H06 Complete Changelist

UPDATE: Michael Murray just informed us that this will be the version used at Evo 2015!

Tekken 7 is getting yet another Arcade online update titled 'H06' today in Japanese and Korean arcades and this again brings a new wave of character balancing to the game. The main changes listed in this version was that 16th DAN (Vanquisher I think?) and upwards ranking system was adjusted and that floor break combo damage was changed but the character balance changes are what's really most interesting. Jack-7 of course got a whole slew of adjustments and is probably fair this time around. I'm not 100% sure but this version of the game will probably be the version played at EVO 2015 this month. Provided something doesn't go horribly wrong. H06 complete notes in Japanese can be found here and I've translated it all below it.

Tekken 7 - MakoRyu Deathmatch Video from MASTERCUP

This video is perfect in showing how fucking obnoxious Jack-7 has gotten in this game. I'm not even sure if you're the kind of person that enjoys hour long deathmatch videos but this is one to watch just for the starting deathmatch between MakoRyu (a strong Mishima player from Osaka) & Taisei (Tekken God Japanese Bruce/Jack-6 player). It's not even 10 minutes long, I'll tell you that much! And before anyone asks, yes the whole full crouch f+1,2,1 into Debugger is NC and guaranteed. Yeah. Then onwards, the video proceeds with MakoRyu deathmatching other people so there's more to the video if you want more. Of course, big thanks goes to the Official MASTERCUP YouTube channel for uploading the video, you can check out the rest of the channel here:

Nobi just recently notified his twitter that both himself and Yuu are now both being sponsored by the Otaku React Zest group in Japan. ORZ will be sending both Yuu & Nobi to EVO 2015 this year in Las Vegas to represent Japan in Tekken! They will no doubt be participating in the Tekken 7 tournament so they will be strong contenders for taking the event. These two players are among the top Tekken players in Japan so it'll be interesting to see how they perform at the event. And just so you know, these aren't the only international players coming over to play Tekken 7 at Evo that I hear of, but that's an announcement for another day. Expect fierce competition at Evo this year everyone!
