It’s not others declining the match either. The error “Connection to the opponent has been lost” comes up in 99/100 matches. Then in “warm-up” mode (you fight a CPU dummy while searching for players) I finally found a match after 20 minutes. It gave me connection errors for 30 minutes straight and not a single working match. I had tried for 30 minutes to get a working match in ranked through the match list. Even when putting the search options to “Any” it fails to connect almost every match. The biggest problem is the Multiplayer – more specifically, ranked matches and unranked player matches. Now let’s talk about the not so pleasant things.
Tekken 7’s Full Roster (37 Characters with Eliza DLC)
I absolutely enjoyed Tekken 7’s offline modes. To sum it up so far: there’s a lot to do, nice story cutscenes, a solid starting roster, balanced combat and a crazy amount of combos. In comparison to Injustice 2, however, there aren’t nearly as many customization options. It’s a nice touch to keep things interesting over time. The customization can then be equipped before matches. A lot of these look quite funny and colorful. There are tons of visual customizations spanning across headwear, hairstyles, hair accessories, glasses, face paint, shirts, pants, full body outfits and upper body accessories. Money is quickly earned from Treasure Battle or by completing different game modes and online matches. You can trade in-game money for new customization items. The ranks are character-specific and not profile wide, so each one of them must be ranked up individually.Ĭustomization in Tekken 7 is really fun. The fights get harder the further you rank up.
You fight endless waves of opponents to gain new character ranks. Treasure Battle is like Ghost Battle in Tekken 6. They are what you probably know from previous Tekken games. A screenshot of the fantastic looking story cutscenes Personally, I really enjoyed how entertaining they were. They consist of one quick match and a funny ending. They reveal what happened to the characters that weren’t part of the main story.
As you play through the story you will unlock new episodes. The so called “Character Episodes” are also part of story mode. The special match unlocks after the story and proves a nice challenge - it’s much harder than the story matches. It consists of 14 chapters, an epilogue and a “special match”. Defeating a bunch of them in a row will win the match and trigger the next cutscene. The main focus of the story is on the cutscenes rather than the fights. Those are low level NPCs that die much quicker than normal opponents. Many of them have you fight the same minions over and over again. The story battles are a bit disappointing. It allows you to practice long combos from the beginning without having to figure them out on your own. What I find especially useful is that every character has one or more 10-hit combos in their move list. This makes it easy for newcomers to learn some combos with their favorite characters. You can view a video clip of every combo in the move list and display the button prompts on-screen. Getting started is not too difficult thanks to practice mode. After playing a character for days you may still find new ways to connect combos and improve your tactics. You can view the move list of a character and they have around 100 combos each. The starting roster is fantastic and each character has an insane amount of combos. You do get a very fair amount of content for your money.
