ATP Live Episode 68 - ft @TheMainMan_SWE & @reepal






























Sega has announced that they're going to release a balance update to VF5FS for arcades coming out in 2015. Don't expect a massive overhaul like Tekken 6 --> Tekken 6 BR since they're only adding a "Version B" suffix. This will most probably a balance patch. But it's still very reassuring that there is a fresh new 3D fighter experience coming alongside Tekken 7 and Dead or Alive 5: Last Round. The press release is listed below in Japanese (followed by a google translation).
UPDATE: The event is now over and I've added the Top 8 results below.
Just becoming the world's largest TEKKEN tournament, MASTERCUP.7 is about to go down this weekend and there's twitch streams available for everyone to tune in! MASTERCUP.7 is a Japanese 5on5 tournament for Tekken Tag Tournament 2 with a huge number of players entered (880!) which includes the best the country has to offer as well as some of the best Tekken players from Korea coming down to aim for the prize. This event will be the final send off for TTT2 in Japan so this event is expected to go out with a huge spectacle. Additionally, the Tekken development team is working with the tournament and Harada and Murray are both attending so it's possible we also might see something new regarding Tekken 7. This event will be amazing for all fans of Tekken so be sure to watch it this Sunday (or Saturday depending on where you live)!
The people over at Kings County Comics got to interview long time Tekken community leader Josh "Iceage" Mcwhorter and Ray "Dandyman" Pagan that got to talk about the transition of fighting games from the Arcade era to the current online-centric generation of games followed by other gaming related discussions. It's a good listen and you can catch the complete audio here or download it completely here.
