Tekken 7 Online Status Update for Matchmaking Issues after Version 1.12

After almost a week and a half since the Noctis update to Tekken 7 came out, the Tekken team finally acknowledges the broken online matchmaking from the update. Version 1.12 which was said to bring online adjustments on top of the DLC guest character inclusion had in effect caused waiting times in Tekken 7 to take far longer or worse, resulted in players not being able to find any matches at all. The tip to get around that which was being passed around was to reset the search by turning off the game and killing the game process in task manager before hopping back in again. The status update on these issues mention that they plan to change the online servers settings for Tekken 7 on PS4. They're still investigating issues with the Steam version of the game but also mention that they're planning a patch to hopefully solve these issues. You can find the status update tweets over on the Tekken Project account.

T7 Online Rank Matches - Knee (Lars) VS Narakhof (King, Claudio) with English Subs

I'm loving this recent trend of people submitting English subtitles for Tekken videos from Korea. Knee's recent online rank matches with Narakhof in Tekken 7 got uploaded but they have English subtitles now so you can understand what they're shit talking about during the matches. Narakhof is all memes and the only time you''ll ever beat Knee is when he lets you. You can turn on the English subs by checking the option for it in the video with the 'CC' button on the bottom right. Check out the matches over on Knee's YouTube page:

Official Tekken 7 Online Ban Notice for Rage Quitters, Boosters & Hackers

Tekken 7 on Steam was updated a day ago with a 110.3 MB sized update and it seems to be the time to remind people going forward about the online terms of service. Going by the measures to address online violations notice which was posted on the Bandai Namco EU website back on Feb 8, I think the recent Steam update might be related (If it isn't, feel free to clear things Bandai Namco?). Although I don't know the extent of which this will actually prevent Rage quitters, boosting or people hacking unusable characters or stages into the online, the capabilities to warn and ban players are there going by some early reports on Steam. If you need a link to the official online notice for Tekken 7, here's a link as well as some quick quotes from the game's EULA of activities that could land you into trouble.

30 Minutes of Nobi's Geese VS Nishi's Feng in this Online Tekken 7 Set

Thanks goes to Nishi for streaming his online ranked session. Nobi has a high ranked Geese apparently, you can watch him and Nishi go at it for roughly 30 minutes in this online set. It's a Revered Ruler ranked match so these two players are really rather good with their character so the set makes a good reference if you're planning on picking up either of the two characters. You can watch the matches along with some other online deathmatches on Nishi's YouTube channel:
