Tekken 7 Arcade Online Update Ver E10 Changelist

Tekken 7 recently saw a new online update being applied to all T7 cabinets and Namco have published a notice on the Tekken Official website detailing what it contains. It features several balance changes, moveset alterations, bug fixes and a little more which I have listed below in English. Most of the details on some of the changes were a bit broad so I've also added findings from Yuu into this piece.

Jin Kazama Discovered as a Secret Sub Boss Character in Tekken 7!

UPDATE: Video footage of the Jin Kazama fight has now been added to this post!

Big thanks goes to Masakarijin for the discovery! The conditions to encounter Jin in the Tekken 7 arcade mode are currently unknown but according to Harada, they're really difficult/obscure conditions to satisfy to trigger Jin Kazama as a replacement boss for Stage 4 in the arcade mode. Going by that info, who knows what other character is secretly hiding within the game? More photos of the Jin Kazama encounter below!

This broadcast will feature special guests: Katsuhiro harada, cosplayers Hinako Sano, Yuriko Tiger, Gen - The Japanese Bob/Leo player who got 2nd at EVO2014 and other secret guests not yet revealed. The online Tekken 7 event will give players the chance to earn a 'rare' Mokujin styled 'Player Plate' to use in-game on the loading screen should those players win in the event. This is also the broadcast/event that Harada mentioned on the previous ATP Live episode as having special announcements such as the next batch of time release characters coming to Tekken 7 so you wouldn't want to miss out on this. The niconico broadcast will be live on March 29 (Sunday) 2:30 PM Japan time. You can watch the broadcast with the link below.

Tekken 7: Details on the Upcoming Practice Mode for Arcades

UPDATE: Practice Mode has been delayed. It was originally slated to release in arcades on March 26 but now it says the mode will be available 'on a day after March 26'. There's no solid date for it's release now, but when it's ready, a new date for the mode will be announced. You can still see details on the mode below but just keep in mind that the Practice Mode won't arrive tomorrow.

Tekken 7 will be getting Practice mode tomorrow in arcades and as such, the official site has recently published images and details on it's implementation. It's interesting to glance over this update seeing as it's quite the robust training mode with most of the features you'd come to expect from the console Tekken's Practice mode. The most basic detail of the mode is that 1 credit will give you 5 minutes within the mode and when the time is up, you get the option to quit the mode or insert more credits which will give you bonus of 7 minutes for your next session. You can find more details of the Practice mode on the official website and I've glossed over most of the features below.
