Tekken Zaibatsu scheduled to shut down soon

As you may have already heard, Castel is finally pulling the plug on the Tekken Zaibatsu website after 20 years of operation. TZ has long served as the central location on the net for the English speaking Tekken community with years of news, gameplay info, regional gatherings, competitive rivalry/beef, tournament updates, community content like combo videos, artworks, fanfics and so much more to mention. 

While the book is being closed on Tekken Zaibatsu soon, the years of history and experiences that came from it lives on in every Tekken fan that began their Tekken journey there. As for where we go next, it is in the hands of the Tekken community to keep the spirit and community alive. Shoutouts to Castel for maintaining Tekken Zaibatsu throughout the years. You can visit the TZ thread to see the closing notice and emotional farewells from the community:

Complete Tekken 7 Frame Data Translated by Ranking Battles Norway

Ranking Battles Norway (or RBNorway for short) has recently completed its first version of frame data translation and listed them onto their website. All of the frame data you see there is translated from the Japanese community wiki site inatekken making RBNorway a more easier web page to navigate for the English reading Tekken community. If you plan on playing Tekken 7 in the future and need a quick way to pull up frame data from the game, here is a handy bookmark to have.

Tekken 7 Fated Retribution Japanese Teaser Website Launched

The Tekken Project team rolled out the official website for Tekken 7 Fated Retribution with a story teaser. The stage is set for the upcoming expansion to Tekken 7 that is set to come out in arcades in 2 months time. This signals that activity on the game will be rolling out from now on until the launch and I have a good feeling that the news that we've all been waiting for is right around the corner. (E3 is on June 14-16!)
