Putting the Complexity of Tekken into Perspective

Tekken is an incredibly complex game and it's all due to its gameplay design which allows players such a huge scope of possible interactions. A key component that Tekken owes to its incredible depth is the gameplay mechanic of being able to cancel a huge amount of animation states and movement to formulate your unique game plan. In Tekken, the most difficult and intrinsic ability to train and elevate yourself as a competitor is a thorough understanding of the movement system with its ability to cancel any kind of movement action into other actions. It is also the most frustrating thing in Tekken as a new player to come to grips with and wrestle with since understanding and practicing all the possible movement options in the neutral allows you to avoid getting hit by enemy attacks. To really home in on the sheer complexity of Tekken, recent modding efforts on PC Tekken 7 has given us Finite State images of every possible animation state available to a character. Or to put it more simply, a big scary flowchart of every possible thing you can do or find yourself in Tekken 7. The finite state visuals below come courtesy of the modder @Dantarion and really puts into perspective of how incredibly complex a game Tekken is.

PC Modders Find More Clues on Tekken 7's Next Guest Character & DLC Costumes

Earlier before, modders of the PC version of Tekken 7 found files relating to Tekken Bowl inside the game and this time we're back with some stuff to look through. Specifically the DLC costumes coming with the new game mode (Tekken Bowl) in DLC PACK 1. It looks like we're getting the Swimsuits, Idolmaster & School Uniform outfits for most of the roster this Summer. Alongside that, assets for the next Tekken 7 guest character (MRY) was found. There's not much to go on but what's there to go on is that the character seemingly has both a standing and air projectile move, can use EX meter and has a super. So by the sounds of things, the next guest character for Tekken 7 seems similar to the playstyle of Akuma and Eliza in the game. The guest character after the 1st is very far off so not much is there to look at for now. All these findings come courtesy of the modders over on the SFxT Modding forum, you can see their progress in modding over there in the Tekken 7 thread.
