First night of playing Tekken 7

Good morning everyone

Last night's stream featured no issues at all, making it three in a row where the words Xfinity didn't pass my lips on stream. Of course last night's stream was dedicated to Tekken 7, and we certainly had a fun time with it, messing around with Online matches, the arcade mode and Tekken Bowling. Perhaps what stands out about Tekken 7 is the guest characters... and the fact we cleared an Arcade mode run with Negan from the Walking Dead pretty much says it all. 

One thing that was real apparent is that my in ability to block consistently is something people can quickly figure out once I'm unable to keep my 20-year old approach to playing Tekken games gets exposed.  Still we actually won a fair share of matches which surprised me. Hell I love the fact the game recognizes my tenacity even if I'm put into some really bad match ups.

I do feel the achievement list for Tekken 7 is rather fair,as quite a few regards just getting an idea of how to use various mechanics and to get players to play certain modes to try things out. Now I actually went back into the game off-stream to knock out a few I figured I could tackle... with the biggest pain in the ass being the one that involved getting a 10 hit combo... somehow Yoshimitsu has a five hit combo that counts as a 10 hit (Inputs being 33221 or BBYYA on an Xbox Controller)

On a side note, I really enjoyed Ultimate Tekken Bowling, and I found it hilarious that Noctis' boys from Final Fantasy XV were there to support him when I did round with him.

For the raid we dropped in on BestiBunni who was playing Magic: The Gathering over at twitch.tv/BestiBunni!  

Just realized I managed to put together a 3-game streak of Xbox achievements, thanks to the fact that the last eight achievements listed for Tekken 7 were unlocked today.

Today's Fitness Boxing 2 daily workout featured Double Combo #2, Weaving Combo #1, and Body Hook Combo for 31 minutes.

My daughter thinks I don't give her enough privacy. At least that's what she wrote in her diary.

A friend of mine got into photographing salmon in different clothing. He said he liked shooting fish in apparel.

Song of the Day: Listen to the Music by The Doobie Brothers

Did put in some writing to finish the commission request for another Spider-Man for the PS4 story, figured I'd combine what I remember from the Spider-Man animated series that aired on Fox back in the 90s with what I can learn about that Black Cat's role in the game. Did manage to keep it in 'universe' with the other Spider-Man commission fics I did recently. 

So you can imagine my surprise that after sending the finished story to the client last night at 3 AM that they wanted a fourth story in the same continuity, this time focused on Silver Sable. Was able to put together the intro this morning based around some pieces from the PS4 game's script. Got to love it when things go together nicely.

For tonight's stream we will be diving into the story mode of Tekken 7, and to try and get through it as quickly as possible I will reduce the difficulty. With lucky we'll cover the whole thing in one stream.

So on that note we'll see you later over on twitch.tv/fredcasden!
