Just had a 50 something Japanese salaryman put all his weight into shoulder checking me at the station. Wasn’t looking at my cellphone or anything so I asked “why would you do that?” And he just started yelling.

Only gonna say this once. We wanted to make a new character. We wanted to use a real martial art. I know quite a lot about Muay Thai and we wanted to create something special for the Thai Finals. If you say petty shit because he’s not Bruce, get blocked

TEKKEN 7 update Version 3.21 will include battle adjustments to Leroy Smith and is planned for release in mid-February. Battle balancing adjustments for other characters will also be done before the start of the TEKKEN WORLD TOUR 2020. Stay tuned for more details.

Like some ppl have guessed, these patch notes were planned way before EVO Japan and are just the first round of changes. More on the way. Honestly a more thorough patch was planned with Fahkumram but @Harada_TEKKEN and I are trying to speed it up.

WTF?! At the station, just had an old Japanese dude with a funky mustache and glasses just yell ‘Heil Hitler’ at me. He actually kinda looked like him. Too bad we’re not in Germany, he would have been bodied by the police

Sorry I’ve been so quiet. Taking care of a lot of stuff. Should have more info next week. Also, @Harada_TEKKEN and I will be at Tokyo Tekken Masters later this month so I hope you all will tune in!

This is definitely my fav Jack design so far. I also like the projectile looking effect on his attacks. This time he has an interesting stance to absorb attacks and give him access to special attacks. I hope you all check him out at EVO Japan!
