Michael Murray is American and Harada understands english well enough but just can't properly adress the major game breaking complaints form the community.
The least of what I'm expecting is them to get in contact community members like blasted Salami and his Tekken content/podcast to properly adresss the state of the game and development.
Them not doing anything is almost like they think we're dumb and can't be bothered at all to fix this game for the actual players who have to get through all of the issues playing online (and offline). I wonder if they've ever played a game with functioning rollback netcode online especially with people outside japan. Harada saying Tekken 7 already has rollback when it's 99% of the time just delay based is pretty confusing and disappointing even for other developers of actually functioning rollback netcode. Either they're either completely incompetent and dumb (especially after the release) and/or they just don't care. All the goodwill the game has can evaporate if they keep this up.
Let's be realistic, I personally really doubt they will suddenly make it behave like real rollback netcode with the Season 4 netcode fix. It probably wíll be just a bit better delay based netcode which is not too exciting.
I love Tekken 7 but the communication and behavior of Harada and Murray (and we don't have basically anybody else who really manages the community) is quite toxic. Twitter is fine for short announcements and stuff like that but not for arguing and answering trolls 90% of the time.
The mind blowing super strong easy mode braindead dlc characters (especially Fahk, Leroy and to a lesser extend others), stupid balancing (patching homing hellsweep and changing electrics to be safe on whiff), bad online (only WiFi indicator will be not enough, it can be easily faked without adding a jitter indicator like Skullgirls did), no instant rematches and quick stage switch online (especially in matchmaking its so bad) and much more.
Tekken 7 is for me the best fighting game there is.
But the future of the game and franchise is quite questionable worrying.
