arcade mode is bad

[RootBeer]

why is there no endless arcade or treasure mode like in 7, im not an online player so having there be no real arcade mode just makes the game not completely worth it for me, i dont want to have to sweat in a game series ive been playing for the better part of 10 years, if not more

Offline is to prepare you for online, nothing more.

Because for some of us, the servers are broken and online mode is unnavailable for most of the time, literaly with the entire online section greyed out... and come on! Online wasn't even stable for most people until last days of tekken 7.

Problem with Super ghost battle is it does not change stages but in all other aspects is 100 percent superior to treasure battle and arcade especially if you go download the top 2 ghosts for every character online.

Endless super ghost battle is there. You should feel bad for having made this ignorant thread.

its known as an opinion, and super ghost battle is not the same thing

ghost battle you will face the same opponents over and over even if you were beginner.
43 different opponents on a ranking system well how many times do you have to beat the say top 20 as they are the ones that are a challenge and will be repetitive fast

This is not Street Fighter. Tekken has always been online AND offline focused. In all tekken games there are a Story mode, the OG Arcade and an endless offline grinding mode so the more casual players can still play and enjoy the game as much as they want, grinding ranks against CPUs and learning the game by having fun without the stressful (and sometimes painful) feel of playing against real people, tryharding and destroying you if you haven't trained enough. You don't have to spend hundreds of hours learning every moves & patterns to enjoy playing Tekken

Tekken comes from PSX era. There was no online play. So saying that "it was always online" is just a straightforward lie.
Offline play IS important. "grinding ranks against CPUs and learning the game by having fun without the stressful (and sometimes painful) feel" that's what I like in fighting games. To play against the CPU and learn each character while having fun in a relaxed way. I do not compete, I already have my job for that.

There is, it is called Super Ghost Battle. I too thought it wasn't there, but once you beat a ghost in that mode, you can just go to the next one you pick out of 3, like it was in Tekken 6. and there is rematch option this time, which I quite like.
If there is an interesting ghost, you can rematch until you feel you got the hang of their moves.

And yeah some of those will unlock outfits, not like there are a lot to unlock anyway.





It is their business ok? The game has an offline tab so it is clearly meant to be played offline too.
Not everyone has the time, energy or desire to be competitive.

I disagree, Super Ghost Battle you're playing in the same arena again and again, you can't even see your character's rank in character's select (you have to be in combat to see it wtf), and it takes ages to leave, change character & arena, choose a ghost and go in again. That's the worst "endless" mode ever

I agree with you.
I don't want to do 300 steps. I just want to do select a game mode and start fighting against random enemies endlessly until I DECIDE to leave the mode (just like treasure battle was). And to gain points to level up my rank each time I defeat an opponent.
Arcade Quest is lazy and boring.

You already can do exactly what you are asking for.

Please describe each step required to access the game mode that ticks every point I mentioned.

So after a certain point in Arcade quest, i think after your first tournament in the Gong, you unlock Super ghost battle.
You can access ghost battle from the offline menu.
You go in there and challenge one of avatars and fight, OR, go to the Arcade machine in the middle of the room and pick your option:
-Downloaded ghosts.
-Fight your own ghost.
-Fight CPU ghosts (I counted and they were about 80 or so), you can even pick which one you want to fight against first).

All of this takes mere seconds!

You fight the first CPU ghost, and from there you have the following options:
-Next (you get to pick from 3 opponents, like it was in Tekken 5 and 6, it even tells you which ones you have beaten with the fist icon)
-Rematch
-Exit

The only thing missing is you are stuck to whatever stage you picked first. Everything else has more options that Tekken 7.

I recommend clearing Arcade Quest, it is not that long anyway, if you do, you can unlock a couple of interesting ghosts ;D

Paying 70 bucks for a game like this and only playing offline is like going to work everyday and they don't pay you, but they got Taco tuesday.

You're assuming I don't. When the very simple reality is, I would never have bought this game for more than 25 bucks if it was just for solo modes and for when friends/family dropped by.

Hell, I would've definetly stuck to the Jolly Roger version.
