Combo Breaker had 180 entrants for Tekken 7 with fierce competition coming together to see who would come out on top. There was exciting moments throughout the event like the the big upsets during pools and the matches during Top 8 culminating in a big Tekken spectacle. Thanks to the fast work of the streaming crew and Bandai Namco, YouTube archives for Top 8 of Tekken 7 are now available to watch if you weren't able to be there in person or catch the live stream. Aris is back from his trip to Combo Breaker and a recap video with his thoughts and experiences from the event is now also up.

[UPDATE] - This post has now been updated with various corrections here and there that have been pointed out in the original list. They will all be listed in GREEN AND BOLD from below. Thanks again everyone that sent me corrections. I'm planning on hopefully doing another Punishment Ranking chart for the console version of Tekken 7 with 100% correct info when that eventually arrives. -- Contained within is character punishment rankings that lists most of the roster in T7FR's respective punishers to use during standing and while standing punish situations. It is also ordered together by the amount of damage they do seeing which character can make punish really hurt when they see a mistake made by the opponent. This data comes courtesy of D-San https://twitter.com/daiyu00121 over on the Japanese Zexi site who listed most of the data together. You can click the links here to view the source but I've transcribed everything into English below. As of writing this now, Tekken 7 Fated Retribution is out and currently on Version H.

If you're like me and happened to miss out on all the Tekken 7 Fated Retribution competition this past weekend live on Twitch, you can catch up with the archives that are available. No spoilers going in here so everything here is listed chronologically. I think. Aris recently put up his recap too so I'll be adding that on here as well as the Esteban's Recap video when it gets uploaded.

You all saw the new trailer but what did you think about it? Aris has up on the Avoiding the Puddle Youtube channel a video going over his thoughts after watching Miguel's reveal in Tekken 7. Alongside that, there's also a video taken from the crowd over there at Barcelona Game World as it was happening live showing the excitement for Miguel. Both videos can be seen at these youtube channels: Avoiding The Puddle ≫ https://www.youtube.com/user/AvoidingthePuddle MegaBlack_94 ≫ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC1FD71HcKzzxkAgVxVq5HKA

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.
