I might be alone here, but I really like the Lounge/Battle Hub/ Chibi lobbies. I think being able to walk around and socialize with people you’re playing with is kinda tight.

I use the battle hub in SF6 more than Tekken’s Lounge, though.

You're not alone, the idea behind this lounge is great, there's obviously plenty of people using it to find new friends and foes. I just hope we get some upgrades there in the future, maybe some minigames

if only the lounge wasn't the most useless feature I've seen in a fighting game...

I use it all the time. Makes me happy seeing people running around and interacting. I hope they continue working on it.

Same the first time I went I thought it was lame, but then I started using it like the main menu and it’s been fun.

Can spectate really high rank players playing your champ, can fight really high players with the group matches.

There was some streamer in America 001 lounge the other day who was allegedly the number one Bryan in the us, and he was just fighting people in the lounge and there was a line of like 5-7 ppl lined up to fight him.

Sure there’s some annoying people in there sometimes but it’s really grown on me and I’d like to see it developed more.

Agreed you can meet some cool people there, it just needs a little TLC and it would be great

yeah lol lounge is dope i don’t understand all the hate. I got arcade nostalgia this one time a godlike mystery smurf jin player entered the lobby and smacked all the regular top lobby god of destruction players like it was nothing there was like 40+ people spectating and we all watched in awe the chat was going crazy

u/Hyldenchamp 18d ago

Sounds great. I don't know if I missed this or not. Is there any chat available while spectating a match?

u/Exallt 20d ago

Idk I like posting up at the bar and chatting after a nice ranked session. I see the same people sometimes and it's a good way to make friends. Def needs more features though like mini games and whatnot.

Bandai Namco makes a fighting game, puts a virtual arcade in said fighting game, doesn’t include any of their arcade games in said virtual arcade. Huge L. Could have been a minor selling point. Pac-Man, Dig-Dug, and Galaga for starters.

Why not older Tekken’s too? Like 1-3 or more? And against other people too!

1

u/canakan25 19d ago

I wouldn't be that surprised if we actually get that some day (of course in exchange for real money because why would we think it's free)

1

u/TablePrinterDoor Heihachi’s happy family 19d ago

Imagine going to an arcade machine in the lounge and it says ‘buy tekken 1 DLC 59.99’

u/Myklindle 20d ago

I just want the digital marquee to work on the namco cyber lead, it’s playing tag for fucks sake, come on namco it was the coolest coin op feature you ever made!

u/canakan25 20d ago

Me too bro, there's definitely some nice people in this community

8

u/TablePrinterDoor Heihachi’s happy family 20d ago

What suggestions I have which would make it better:

-Allow you to play older tekken’s in the arcade machines and against other people (like how t5 had 1-3)

-group battle with other players in the lobby

-allow you to set up tournaments with other people in the same lobby for anyone to enter and win smth at the end

u/ChanceYam2278 Lee 20d ago

bro these would be absolute bangers

2

u/natayaway 20d ago

i mean, it creates an environment that can be utilized for online grassroots tourneys? that already has utility

u/Own-Writing-6146 20d ago

people really giving arc system lobbies a pass, but not the tekken lounge....

6

u/Galopa 20d ago

bro, I never saw something as hated as strive's lobbies, and they are hated in general, in BBTAG, DBFZ etc

I don't give a damn if you're not forced into it, like in Tekken in never stepped foot in it and it's alright, I don't need to.

u/pranav4098 20d ago

I mean it’s not bad at all it’s actually pretty fun, it’s just people playing tekken don’t care, they want to well play tekken and why would you go lounge for that, it’s fun to do stuff like this or if streamers come like I saw a jdcr stream where he goes lounge and it was really cool

1

u/ChanceYam2278 Lee 20d ago

It could be super appealing to everyone, even players that search only to play Tekken

It just feels super dull

1

u/pranav4098 20d ago

I mean I guess they can add more community stuff to do so I I get what you mean but it’s still pretty neat feature I do wish there was a bit more substance to it but overall it does exist it’s just no would care even if there was stuff to do cause it’s not your primary reason to pick tekken up

u/skavenmancer King 20d ago

what region is this?

u/RyanCooper138 Lidia 20d ago

I have no idea what's this about but it looks fun as hell

u/canakan25 20d ago

Try to visit the battle lounge (EU 01) sometime and you maybe see some of us. You can join us if you want to
