Tekken 7 - Josie Rizal Unlocked for Arcades on April 21st!

The newest character that was revealed for Tekken 7 is set to be unlocked in arcades (Japanese ones at least, Korea seems to be delayed.) on April 21st from the recent update on the Tekken Official website. For those who don't know, Josie Rizal is a fighter hailing from the Phillipines with the Eskrima and basic kick boxing fighting style. She was designed by Mari Shimazaki who you may remember from Bayonetta and the name was suggested by MarkMan as a homage to José Rizal. You can look forward to seeing her in matches and hopefully a complete movelist/combo rundown in Practice mode next Tuesday. (April 21, 2015)

Tekken 7 - Katarina Alves Movelist Rundown

Looks like this is going to be an on-going series. Katarina Alves is the other new character that was revealed in Tekken 7 alongside Claudio Serafino. Hailing from Brazil, her fighting style is officially Savate so she sports a bunch of weird looking kicking attacks as well as a 'Harrier' stance in her arsenal. The Tekken development team have described this character as a good beginner character since she has effective combo strings which can be done by repeatedly pushing a button. She is one of the newer characters so we don't really have absolutely all the info in general to her move properties but the movelist video and reports from Mesa-chan's blog will help familiarize yourself with the character. The movelist video rundown featuring Katarina staple combos are once again, courtesy of Game Plaza Gao arcade's YouTube channel.

Tekken 7 - Claudio Serafino Movelist Rundown

Update: I've replaced the video with a revised version from the same channel. It features corrections and staple combos for Claudio.

Claudio Serafino is one of the new characters that is introduced in Tekken 7 and while there's been a lot of match videos of him for awhile now, I don't believe most players outside Asia are quite familiar with how he plays. Fortunately, Tekken 7 related video content is coming out as the Game Plaza Gao arcade in Japan did a great job giving a run down of Claudio's Movelist on their YouTube channel. Of course it's all in Japanese but I went ahead and translated the notes regarding all the moves below the video here. I've added all the translation below the video in the order of how they appear in the video so it shouldn't be too difficult to find each move's note. This should help bring everyone up to speed on Claudio as a character in Tekken 7. Enjoy.
