Yamasa's 'Tekken 4' Slot Machine is Tekken 7-themed

Yamasa has long been collaborating with Bandai Namco on the Tekken series and 'Tekken 4' is the latest in their line of Pachi-Slot machines.

Julia Chang and Player Data Breakdowns are coming to Arcades in May

A new update for the arcade version of Tekken 7 is scheduled to arrive in May, as announced by Nakatsu during the Toushinsai event. This update will feature the arrival of DLC character Julia Chang to arcades as well as new player data displays taken from the arcade's online Tekken-net service. Tekken-net will collate your gameplay data to let you see player breakdowns and rankings at a glance. Your Tekken skills is reflected with a new "Tekken Power" number and a web chart that highlights key playstyle areas. It's a little reminiscent of the World Tekken Federation feature from Tekken Tag Tournament 2 if you were around to remember that existing. You can look forward to these new arcade features coming in 2 months from now. For the source of the announcement, you can find it over on the Toushinsai stream archive:

Knee on his Tekken History: 'For me, this game is my life'

This interview with Knee was put up almost a week ago, but it wasn't until recently that it got English captioning supplemented onto it. So without further adieu, here is Inven's interview with ROX Dragon's Knee. It's quite a lengthy session that goes far back to his arcade beginnings with the Tekken series, to his adult life, where he was studying and conscripted into the Korean military service. Maybe some out there can personally relate to Knee's experience in growing up with the Tekken series, in which case, Knee offers his perspective on committing to Tekken instead of a more 'normal' life. Get familiar with not only a Tekken playing machine, but a man who 'made it'. Oh and don't forget to turn the English subtitles on:

Negan in Tekken 7 - Day 1 Discovery Compilation

Edit: That's a wrap for Launch day for Negan. Thanks everyone that sent in stuff.

Launching today is Tekken 7's DLC #09, Negan from The Walking Dead. Negan is a brand new guest character to the Tekken series so who knows how he'll fare in the Tekken world. The Negan featured here takes after the likeness of Jeffrey Dean Morgan from the TV show and I hear they even got the actor to do the voice of the character in Tekken 7. If you're not familiar with the TV series, Negan is a brutal but charismatic villain kind of character that enjoys killing his victims with a baseball bat covered in barbed wire. Taking after the Julia Chang post, I'll be using this post to collect and consolidate most of what is found out about the character when he gets in the hands of players. If you have something that you want in here or shared with everyone else, feel free to chuck it in the comments or tweet/DM it to me on Twitter.
