Akuma Currently Has the Largest Pool of Higher Ranked Players in Japan
September 01, 2016 09:45Tekken 7 Fated Retribution has now been out for roughly 2 months and the data on how well certain players and their characters are piling in on Tekken-net to review. The most interesting piece of info I'm taking away from is the amount of high ranked Japanese players for each character. This I feel gives a good idea on not only who is succeeding well in Tekken, but which character as well. If you're not aware, Tekken 7 uses a ranking system that goes from Beginners into the Dans and from th...

MASTERCUP EVO 2015 Interview with Japan's ORZ Yuu & Nobi
July 16, 2015 02:19Japan's most famous Tekken playing duo Yuu & Nobi recently got picked up by the Otaku React Zest group which is a company that is set out to spread the otaku 'Akiba culture' which may have a negative connotation depending on who you ask. Their recent efforts have them sponsoring top Tekken players to EVO which is what's making this a frightfully difficult tournament to come up top now with the increase in well regarded foreign players. MASTERCUP sat down with both Yuu & Nobi to ask what the...

April 30, 2015 09:34Once again, Tekken 7 has just been updated through it's always connected online system to the latest 'F08' version from the previous 'E10' version.

Tekken 7 - Lucky Chloe Movelist Rundown
April 17, 2015 17:21oh no. Lucky Chloe is yet another new character that joins the Tekken 7 roster and there's actually a lot more to this character than what appears on the surface. Adorning cat ears, knee pads and kitten hand muffs, Lucky Chloe enters the battle with her 'Free Style Dance' techniques hailing from an unknown region. What makes her unique from the roster though is that she has a number of moves that require timed inputs to successfully perform which will take some time to get used to. Let's be...
Tekken 7 - Shaheen Movelist Rundown
April 16, 2015 13:24Next up for the movelist rundown treatment is Shaheen who joins the Tekken 7 roster from Saudi Arabia. With a officially proclaimed 'Military Fighting Style,' Shaheen slides, flips and acrobatically attacks opponents while also having a 'Stealth Step' movement command to help him approach offensively. This new character in Tekken 7 seems to be among the popular new characters seeing as the utilization rate in arcades in Japan list him among the top of the list with Kazuya, King and Bryan. O...
Tekken 7 - Katarina Alves Movelist Rundown
April 13, 2015 12:55Looks like this is going to be an on-going series. Katarina Alves is the other new character that was revealed in Tekken 7 alongside Claudio Serafino. Hailing from Brazil, her fighting style is officially Savate so she sports a bunch of weird looking kicking attacks as well as a 'Harrier' stance in her arsenal. The Tekken development team have described this character as a good beginner character since she has effective combo strings which can be done by repeatedly pushing a button. She is ...
Tekken 7 - Claudio Serafino Movelist Rundown
April 09, 2015 09:42Update: I've replaced the video with a revised version from the same channel. It features corrections and staple combos for Claudio. Claudio Serafino is one of the new characters that is introduced in Tekken 7 and while there's been a lot of match videos of him for awhile now, I don't believe most players outside Asia are quite familiar with how he plays. Fortunately, Tekken 7 related video content is coming out as the Game Plaza Gao arcade in Japan did a great job giving a run down of Cla...
