The Tekken World Tour Standings are Currently Incorrect. Here's a Link to the Correctly Updated Standings

It has been brought to our attention recently that the current Tekken World Tour standings have been incorrectly calculated as of right now. At least for the Asia-Pacific region, I'm not paying too much attention to how the maths are currently being counted across the whole board. It is said that top 5 Tekken point earners in the 3 regional leaderboards are invited to the grand finals later this year but the point allocation haven't been completely following in line with the rules on the Tekken World Tour website. The leaderboards were a bit slow to update before but the incorrect points now make it unreliable to follow. Thankfully, Sathaporn on Twitter has taken upon himself to follow all the TWT event news and curate an online document that is reflecting the current standings more reliably. This makes for a more handy bookmark should you be interested in following the TWT. You can check out his TWT Standings document below over here:

Tekken 7 FR Arcade Online Update 'Version N' Balance Changelist

Tekken 7 Fated Retribution is updating to Version N later today in Japan & Korea and with it comes various character balance changes. The changelist was leaked online prior to the official reveal but here is a translation of the list which includes changes to Hwoarang, Xiaoyu, Jack, Bryan, Lili, Lee, Gigas, Leo, Lucky Chloe, Kazumi, Master Raven, Eddy, Nina & Eliza. Reading the list, it sounds like most of the changes made to the game were either bug fixes or adjustments to help consistency so it's not too severe of an overall meta shifting balance adjustment. You can find the full list of changes in English below.

Knee's Tekken 7 Tier List in Tournaments

[Click to expand image] -- [Click to see Knee's Tier List for Deathmatches]

Aaand here we have Knee's Tekken 7 tier list that is geared toward ranking characters in a console PS4 standard tournament format. Mishima characters, Leo and Xiaoyu move down in rankings while Jack-7 jumps right up to the top. It's important to note that while making this tier list in the video, Knee mentions multiple times throughout that the current PS4 input lag makes a big impact on how characters fare so that's why the disparity between his deathmatch and tournament lists. Again, the video of Knee and Kuro Kuro creating the list is now up and you can see some remarks on the list on Knee's twitter.
