Every great fighting game has its own thing that makes it stand out

Every great fighting game has its own thing that makes it stand out
Street Fighter has fun an memorable characters that even non-players can recognize
Mortal Kombat has the above, plus gore and dark, edgy aesthetics
Dead or Alive has sex appeal and loose association with a great game series (Ninja Gaiden)
Soul Caliber has weapons and fun fantasy aesthetics
Tekken has ???

It's the only good 3D fighting game now that Soul Calibur is dead forever.

Tekken is a dumbed down VF. People play Tekken for the story.

>Soul Calibur is dead forever.
wh-what?

>Tekken has ???
Capoeira

It was just seriously wounded, but the soul still burns!

Tekken has memorable characters with a good story, and ridiculous characters like Alex, a boxing Velociraptor, and Bosconovitch who is a crazy scientist that blows himself up to throw himself at his opponent. Even has Yoshimitsu, a ninja from space. Plus it has combos unlike Street Fighter. (Sorry 2D Footsy Cucks)

It has Akuma now. He saw a dying ship and left for greener pastures.

>Tekken has ???
SUPERIOUR

More like they brought in a recognizable character from a more popular game in an attempt to make sales. That's how boring Tekken is.

And he's pretty fucking strong, or so it would seem.

I'd want Tekken to have a bigger influx of SF players, it'd spice up the gameplay big time. I do agree with Aris here, the invincibility frames on DP is something unusual to this game and really fucks with the pressure. I guess time will tell how will it all play out, EVO should be very interesting.

Tekken has ANIME

Alisa is so cute! I fell in love with her after watching that CG tekken film.

Tekken has great facial aesthetics.

Tekken has great motion capture.

And more varied styles that make for great matchups. Tekken just feels like the most visceral and visually impressive fighter to me

tekken is and has been one of the top 10 most profitable arcade games for god knows how long, they did just fine without akuma before

Tekken has Drag and Bryan, who pretty much have the two most brutal fighting styles in fighting games ever.

Watching an aggressive Bryan or Drag player demolish opponents physically hurts.

I've really been trying to get into tekken recently and that's the problem. All but two of the characters are boring as shit/animals.

Not that much of a Tekken fag, but this. I'd also wager that it simplified VF just enough, while still keeping the game altogether complex and deep enough for a dedicated, hardcore fanbase to pop up surrounding it.

I prefer Soul Calibur and maybe even DOA over it (not sure about VF) but there's a reason why Tekken is probably the most popular 3D fighting game series.

tekken has what all those other games you listed have (minus moron kombat) and more, the classic cheesy story all the fans love, the legacy, fantastic gameplay, best visuals and actualy finished games (balance on the other hand varies on the games, tekken 5 was pretty great, 6 not so much, 7 looks to be fantastic.)

I'm not a hardcore fighting game fag so I'm unbiased and pretty open minded. Tekken is the hardest to sum up because I honestly think it's got every pillar covered, where as something like Mortal Kombat or Soul Calibur have very obvious appeal to them. Juggling is not really the main appeal of Tekken, although it is kinda fun to do and joke about. I think Harada and his team just don't give a fuck, Tekken is fucking hilarious and strange like when the Japanese are at the top of their game, but it's done so in a way where westerners like it too. The joke characters are stupid but you'd probably want to keep them in the roster, some of the endings are fucking stupid but you kind of like them, reoccurring volcano and family issue tropes are also stupid but are somehow so badass and you want to keep seeing them, and the Big Bad riding in a taxi cab.

My absolute favorite thing about Tekken is daring to evolve character costumes in pretty much every game. Yoshimitsu is always changing in erratic ways where his designs are weird cultural stuff taken to the extreme (insect, squid, samurai hat, demon mask, skeleton, tentacle, zen monk). Yoshimitsu is the embodiment of Japan.

Tekken is fun to play for casuals and pros alike. It feels good to mash buttons and you can quickly figure a couple of things out this way, which is fun. I spent a lot of time as a kid just mashing buttons with my cousin until we found a character we liked and then we started learning them a bit more.
It is at the same time crazy technical, so if you get into the deep end it is fucking deep.
I'm practicing wavedashing right now after going to a local (casual matches, no tournament) where a friendly fella taught me a ton of cool shit with the Mishimas

Tekken is shit because of the retarded juggles. I don't even care about the whether juggling mechanics are good or bad for gameplay, they just look plain fucking retarded.

Tekken Tag Tournament 2 makes juggles look really fucking retarded.

TTT2 Juggles were an abomination. They went on for too long and FUCK having to learn two characters just to be semi-decent at the game.

It's not about the looks.

It's about how long you sit there with a controller in your hand unable to have an effect on the game because you're locked into some fucking two person juggle combo for 10 straight seconds.

SFV does well with just short, burst like combos and don't take half your health bar (unless you fuck up big time).

Also, Tekken is still better. Fuck you SFV

Tekken has superior limb-based fighting, and memes aside, juggles
Also I'd say DoA also has the hold system which is what makes it interesting.

Link to one? Preferably a Brian

fun

Street fighter has nostalgia, not "memorable" characters. Tekken released years after street fighter. If they released at the same time, i can bet you a fighting bear and a leopard masked wrestler would be considered more memorable

Unlike you faggots, the creators of sf and tekken get along really well. This akuma thing is because were not getting TxSF. Would be surprised if Ryu is a secret unlock too

>OP doesnt even mention half of the fighting games out there
Faggot

The best fighting without 30 button retarded combos.

Personally, i hate what juggles have become. Then even started putting them in soul caliber

Tekken has crazy juggles.

>Were not getting TxSF

Hold your horses little bud, it's still coming just near the end of the generation once the flagship titles have made all their sales.

Why is Guy Fierri wearing facepaint.

Good gameplay
Story mode
Weebness
And Yoshimitsu

underrated post my nigga

tekken has hwoarang

>Street fighter has nostalgia, not "memorable" characters.

Im inclined to agree. SF has done nothing but go out of the way to NOT change their core characters like Ryu and Chun Li from their nostalgic roots.

They've been coasting on reputation for what feels like ages now

...

Is this bait?

I guess the franchise's soul lost its calibur?

this is a list i can agree with completely

What annoys me more in Soul Cal, is there are moves that will launch you from the floor

Is that you, Capcom?

Virtua Fighter is cool too

>And more varied styles that make for great matchups.
lolno

>Tekken just feels like the most visceral
Oh its you

Nay

it has best girl Asuka

This list is awful. Kill yourself.

great loli

I don't mind it i prefer it stayed dead until they find a competent team to develop it

Tekken has limb based combat that is superior

I like fighting games but why do fighting game people always have to be such faggots?
They might as well all be DSP

Looks accurate to me whats wrong with it?

>Tekken has superior limb-based fighting
i always laugh when i read that

street fighter has juri

Soul Cal 5 was an abomination

>MvC3
>High Tier

Oh, a gameplay video! Excellent!

>30 minutes long
>a guy immediately starts talking

Yeah, no thanks

>tekken 2
>low tier

That was the best one faggot. At least in that one you had to complete the game with specific characters to unlock new ones as opposed to the other games, where you can complete the game multiple times with a single character and keep unlocking more

hwoarang

Actually I feel the Tekken series more natural where every button is basically a limb, something that makes a lot more sense to me instead of "fast attack" "strong attack", ecc

And also in Tekken just a casual can beat another casual (like in every fucking game), if you have played even for just a week there's no way that someone using smashing buttons can beat you

Don't bother with it, it's a bait list only used for you's. People don't post it seriously and the ones that do know are far too simple to understand any arguments against it

this

Good joke. Made me laught.

waifus

Who /Lili/ here?

Is Jin getting cast to the curb?

I like that her bike returns from the T5 intro

>Liking meter Calibur
Well it's your opinion I guess

>eventhubs has her 24 places above Sebastian

Jiang Wei pls go

Nina is best Tekken grill. Fighting games need more MILFs.

Fuckton of moves. King has near 200.

Will Lili finally plough her?

I find tekken characters more memorable than SF desu

>skullgirls
>high tier
Maybe the waifus

DOA has counter holds.

Tekken too

Fuck you I loved the chess mode in Deception

Not memorable.

DOA too

Nah people who barely know DOA know this. Asked people about it personally.

Nah people who barely know Tekken know this. Asked people about it personally.

dafuq? Tekken has the most memorable holds out of any fighting games. Nina, Dragunov and King are fucking amazing.

I agree on throws.

Dragunov is fucking brutal. I almost feel bad when I stomp someone with him.

Tekken has stagnant gameplay that hasn't evolved in 12 years.

>Tekken 2
>best one

Tekken has Steve Fox. That's all it needs.

>tekken 2 was the best one because of the way you had to unlock characters

This is the kind of clueless casual shitters that infest fighting game threads on Sup Forums

Unlike other fighters, each fighter plays in a unique way and the game still manages to be balanced. If you get trolled by eddy gordo or Law, then you suck

>Tekken
>each fighter plays in a unique way
>balanced

superior limb-based combat

Eddy was broken as fuck back in the day. Don't know if anything changed now.

hnnnnnng dem stockings

>Unlike other fighters, each fighter plays in a unique way
What is this opposite day?

Footsies no longer really exist in street fighter because 5 is terrible

>Eddy was broken as fuck back in the day
No he wasn't, you were just shit at the game.
