Tekken 7 FR Arcade Online Update 'Version D' Balance Changelist

Tekken 7 Fated Retribution is once again getting a big update tomorrow bringing T7FR up to version D09 alongside adding the new character Master Raven to the arcade title. Another wave of balance changes are included this time and they've now been published on Tekken-Official to be reviewed. Interesting thing they here is that they now list the notations and exact frame and damage value changed in the patch notes so that helps in keeping track of all the changes. It's a big change list so there's a lot to look through and review. Should be noted that although these may give us the idea on the changes made to the game, it's still best to review the changes as they are in-game. I'm now done doing most of the translation below but here's the source if you want to check it out:

Master Raven Arrives in Arcades on September 15 in New Update Ver. D09

A new update on Tekken-Official details the upcoming update coming to Tekken 7 Fated Retribution in arcades named Ver. D09 on September 15th. It includes the recently announced Master Raven character coming to arcades in Japan and Korea for players to use as well as a new game mode which I'm not sure how to name it at the moment but seems to suggest some kind of 'Item Battle.' In addition, it lists a new wave of game balance changes arriving to the game but since this was a forward notice of the update, the full notes of the balance changes coming will be published in the near future. For now, people looking forward to the character will be pleased to know that they can start watching / playing the character on September 15th in arcades.

TEKKEN 7 Famitsu Site Opens - Story Background for New Characters Revealed

Famitsu has opened a dedicated page for their coverage of TEKKEN 7 during TGS 2016 and they have the story background for the new characters in the game. It details the basic overall lore for the characters and gives you an idea why they've entered the King of Iron Fist Tournament 7. Gonna add a quick note that usually when you read character background lore they have a flavorful style of text to them but I'm going to unofficially translate these bios until they are released officially in English. You can read the source of the backgrounds in Japanese over on Famitsu Tekken 7 page.

Tekken 7 Fated Retribution Tier Lists From Japanese Players

Translated here are 3 tier lists from some Japanese players (AO, RAGE & Tsubumi) that got to tweeting their thoughts out recently. Tekken 7 Fated Retribution has now been out in arcades for some months and it seems weird ranking things because there are balance changes and new tools that were given to certain characters to be better but then there are characters that pretty much stayed in their usual 7.0 form. Rage Drives are a big factor in these evaluations because they vary from character to character in utility and usefulness with some characters getting a really good RD that augments their gameplay and then there are other characters that got mere combo extenders. An interesting bit to consider is the placement of Akuma in these lists. Coming from really good Tekken players that have used Akuma, they seem to agree on where he sits in the roster. With all that said, the tweet sources for the tier lists are as follows:
