Tekken 7 will add frame data and tips to improve gameplay

For a long time, the Tekken franchise has been considered a challenging game to master if relying only on in-game tools. To make things much easier for players, Tekken 7 will be receiving some new features. 

During the Tokyo Tekken Master finals, Bandai Namco announced brand new features that will help players level up their Tekken skills. These features include frame data, personalised tips and punishment guides. They are all split between paid DLC and free updates. Frame data, player, match spectating, and tournaments will be part of the DLC, while free updates will include replay, tips, punishment practice and bearded man costume.     

Features list

• Frame data displayed in Practice mode, either with expanded data like startup frames move position and distance from the opponent.

• Simple colourised characters to showcase who has frame advantage.

• These displays are available in other modes like casual online player matches.

• Sample combos will also be expanded in the menus to include more possible options of varying difficulties. 

• My Replays and Tips will allow players to go over match footage and show them where potential punish opportunities happened during rounds that could have been capitalised on. This update will be available for free and in-game tips will also allow fans to pause replays, skip rounds and more.

Bandai Namco added that the Katsuhiro Harada April Fools character would be coming to Tekken 7 by way of new free customisation items. DLC 13 has no price yet, but Bandai Namco’s Michael Murray stated that they’re considering an amount between $3-4. The DLC will also come bundled with the season three pass if you choose to get it that way.

DLC 13 will release this winter, while My Replays and Tips features will arrive soon after.
