What's wrong with him? He's the only Tekken YouTuber I'm aware of.

Man I really hope that SoulCalibur 6 gets this much love in the future. I'd love to see a third season pass at least.
God that's the one thing I hate about Fighting games' season passes. Early buyers draw the short stick. You have to rebuy the first few dlc packs to get the best deal.
MK11 is doing the same thing. I bought the deluxe edition for like $80 (however much it was at launch) so my options are to spend $40 on Aftermath (which comes with SP1) PLUS SP2, or buy Ultimate. In that case NRS made it a bit easier for us.
Any word on pricing? The last season with 2 characters cost $25, and I'm pretty sure I won't spend a cent on the new one unless it's at least below $10. I didn't buy S3 until it was $12 I'm pretty sure.
For Tekken 7, none of the DLC was released without the Season Pass it was a part of being released first. The exception is Eliza, but she was released for free with a pre-order.
This is really good news.
According to Mihawk the game feels almost like offline against his spanish opponent which was previously a laggy 3 bar (Germany to Spain).
He's really happy and this with the wifi indicator will hopefully result in matches without terrible lag.

According to the user I quoted, Ultimate Edition includes SP1 and 2.
You're right. Capcom is at least somewhat competent with their netcode.
Whereas with Namco Bandai it's just all bad.
Very curious about these netcode improvements. I'm not expecting MK11 level, but Virtua Fighter Final Showdown from 2010 level would be nice.
You misunderstood my post.
What I replied to was the assertion that people could buy individual DLC content for Tekken 7 before a full Season Pass was available. That never happened. Any DLC released for the game came either simultaneously or after the Season Pass associated with it. T7 owners were never nickle and dimed into making small purchases first.
The T7 Ultimate edition came out a year after Season 2 released and it was aimed at non-T7 owners who wanted all of the available content as it came with S1 and S2 along with the base game and Eliza. No one with T7 needed that since they already owned the base game, and everyone at the time could buy S3 separately.
The same is true now... if you don't have T7, get the Ultimate Edition pus S3 and S4. If you do have T7, simply buy in Season Pass you don't own (plus Eliza separately) and in both cases, you'll have everything.
That early access for a bunch of streamers ruffled some feathers, huh? Not really sure how to feel about it either. I kinda like that discovery process everyone is going through at the same time.
I'm a One X player here. I've been playing Tekken in 720p since vanilla 6 and I'm used to it, so I guess the fact that I'm still playing in 720p doesn't bother me that much. I don't know what I'm missing, I guess. Plus in the heat of battle, with no frame drops, I guess I just don't care as much?
Hopefully the game will be patched at least on Series S/X.

Impressions from people streaming it seem positive so far. Matches within the same region are pretty good, matches across regions are playable.
Wait early access on rollback netcode? Whoever made that call needs to fucking go because they literally don't know what the fuck they're doing. You need as many people playing possible to know how well it works across as many situations as possible. Early access to anything in fighters is inherently stupid and counterproductive.
SP4 should be live worldwide. $15 for the pass, $6 for Kuni, and $3 for the stage. The pass is still a bit hefty for me at over $7 per character so I'll wait on that for a bit.
Haven't tried it yet, but consensus from r/Tekken seems to be that it's MUCH better than it was before. It's supposedly better feeling than any other delay implementation but not nearing the smoothness of any half-decent rollback netcode.
There's no embargo on this, and this kind of pre-release hype trickle isn't Ars Technica's domain, so I'm offering to you, ERA.
Tekken's PR group has confirmed to various members of the press that "in March, a new character will join the fight in TEKKEN 7 as the latest DLC character entering The King of Iron Fist Tournament." The same email includes an offer of "a hoodie and a special item that teases the next character joining the TEKKEN 7 line-up of playable characters." The hoodie has the Mishima Zaibatsu logo on its front. The "special item" is unclear.

Thanks for the update! I have no idea what that emblem means though.There's no embargo on this, and this kind of pre-release hype trickle isn't Ars Technica's domain, so I'm offering to you, ERA.

It's the Mishima Zaibatsu corporation logo, so, the next cast member could be an existing connection to that. Jinpachi? I'm not versed enough to wager any substantive guesses.
Another Zaibatsu adjacent character? Maybe one of Lars' friends? Thanks for the update!There's no embargo on this, and this kind of pre-release hype trickle isn't Ars Technica's domain, so I'm offering to you, ERA.

Guess we'll have to wait for the special item, the hoodie seems just random Tekken merch.
It's not.
If it's Jinpachi or someone with his moveset i'd be over the moon
You must have never heard of it before picking it up. It is kinda infamous for being overwhelming
I would rather have the actual fish who was in the running. Or the oldman who can't fightThe tease is for that weird sex Zaibatsu lady soldier concept they tossed around for one of the games?
EDIT: I'm guessing this lady
There are so many other choices besides this chick that already failed the fan request poll
A returning fav
A new character
A new guest
This is so good a move that it will never happen
If you want a newb friendly 3D fighter, try SoulCalibur or Dead or Alive. I find those to be pretty fun personally.
Thanks for sharing this. Murray did tweet that we're going to get new information about the new character sometime this month.There's no embargo on this, and this kind of pre-release hype trickle isn't Ars Technica's domain, so I'm offering to you, ERA.
