Akuma Currently Has the Largest Pool of Higher Ranked Players in Japan

Tekken 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 there it goes into a series of ranks organised by their color scheme. It's not a 1:1 representation but I would say, a player that got to the red ranks (Genbu, Byakko, Seiryu & Suzaku) in Tekken 7 is roughly the equivalent of a Street Fighter player getting something like Platinum rank in SFV. With all that said, here is all the data I compiled from Tekken-net.

TEKKEN 7 Included in Bandai Namco's Tokyo Game Show 2016 Line-up

Bandai Namco recently published their line-up of games at Tokyo Game Show this year and Tekken 7 is on the list. From the TGS web page that Bandai Namco put up, the game will be playable at the event, have a new promotional video (trailer) be shown off and have a stage show that is going to be streamed live so there's lots to look forward to soon in September. Alongside this, the Tekken-Official website also put up a page dedicated to the home versions of Tekken 7 and it looks like it's going to be the main page for Tekken 7 in the future. A minor detail to include but the TEKKEN 7 logo got updated there (Not just plain white font this time.) Tokyo Game Show 2016 is taking place in Chiba, Japan on September 15 - 18.
