Tekken is the best fighting of this generation

They took a gameplay formula that was appealing to the hardcore autists and then made a sequel which did virtually nothing but increase the presentation and make it more legible for the observers. Hit impacts, sparks, subtle camera shakes, subtle zooms. That gunshot sound on counterhit, slo-mo in clutch end of round situations.
I hope more developers take note. That is how you take a difficult series and make it popular without compromising the integrity of the original game.

It just avoided the mistakes of other games.
It was generally the consnesus with 5 that at least one Mishima should be top tier in terms of skill level, which is still true.
It's actually such a big gap between an average okay player and a top tier player that online isn't taken over by a handful of people.
It tried to keep as many characters in it as possible without completely fucking up movesets or properties so your knowledge tends to carry over well from one game to the next.

Street Fighter being dogshit helped a lot.

Not a fighting game.

crazy how a party game is the final game at evo

Tekken 7 is a predictable follow-up to a series that's never aimed particularly high, it may please casual gamers for a day or two but the stagnant ongoing series is definitely in the second tier of fighters way below Capcom or NetherRealm Studios games, and it's seriously getting old and tired. The lack of depth and subtlety and the emphasis on the offensive, rather than the defensive, puts this squarely two notches below the best in the genre, the "who-can-get-their-super-move-off-first" gameplay leaves much to be desired from a serious fighting game player. Like the prequels, Tekken 7 is geared towards casual gamers and anyone who's been exposed to more technical, more dynamic fighting games will quickly pass on tekken. Other top fighters, namely Street Fighter, DoA and MK games have advanced impressively in their latest installments; but the relic that is tekken just can't seem to evolve, furthermore many combos can be done simply by hitting 1-button, and the nearly "instant-kill" rage art moves are just laughably broken. Instead of a supplying a proper fighting engine, matches in T7 seem to rely heavily on "who can get their rage move off first". So many elements of the gameplay don't even require any sort of skill. In my book, slow motion over and over again also gets old very quickly. And in the end, it's more of a novelty or gimmick rather than an actual, thought-out fighting game mechanic. But hey, the casual crowd will be pleased!

If you want something a little more "button-masher-friendly," tekken might be your cup of tea.... Key word, might.

Tekken is fucking garbage. Has been for 20 years and continues to be.

i fucking hate steve

it's not the first time. remember mario kart at evo?

>a gameplay formula that was appealing to the hardcore autists
tekken is one of the most casual fighting game series, though. it's always sold the most because of how mash-friendly it is. even the developer calls it a button masher.

No one would care aboyt Smash if it wasnt a nintendo game with a bunch of roster faggotry. Its a simple, non engaging game.

And to answer OP, Tekken is what happens when you spend more than 6 months putting a fighting game together

Yeah we really have to thank capcom for the fact they gave the opportunity for tekken to be top dog, we wouldn't have been able to do it without their sheer ineptitude.

Happy to see Tekken doing well. Hopefully T8 improves on the story, music and arenas.

The pakis were smart enough to realize TWT is chump change and just play at home for oil money, koreans are currently emotionally coping over the prospect of no longer being top dogs.

>Hopefully T8 improves on the story, music and arenas.
Why would it? T7 was barebones and everyone bought it up, they know they don't have to try anymore.

Tekken is a casual button masher, thats why you keep seeing literal whos beat the "tekken gods" with ease, the game has a very low skill ceiling.

Because if they don't try anymore sales might suffer.

What do you mean? People on Yea Forums being retards overhyping a game or overreacting to it? what else is new? This is what happens to literally anything that gains notoriety so I'm already expecting Yea Forums to behave like this. Don't let other people's opinion ruin what you enjoy.

See this I think also was the fact that while many things got easier, they didn't change the core stuff that kept enthusiasts from staying playing. Capitalising on other titles underperforming is also a big factor.

The narrative at the time of its release was that SFV was a blunder and T7 was going to be the next big game. Couple that with Aris' stream getting new people into Tekken and maintaining interest by restreaming tournaments, and you have the tekken revival.

just rage art them bro, they are garbage

the fact that it's basically still the same old game as older titles in every way (and just dumbed down a bit, simplified and easier) already makes it better than other modern fighting games.

I do feel bad for you guys having to put up with the bloody roar autist though

I think bots might be hardwired to never block Rage Arts. Playing against bots can give you bad habits, I would recommend finding people of your skill level to play with.

how do I learn this game? I have never played a fighting game before

watch youtube.com/watch?v=_R0hbe8HZj0&t=149s and Avoiding the puddle's tutorials

Steve question:

Do you have to input ducking twice to get special moves like fox hunt and skyscraper? Or really just the moves with the blue flash from ducking? For whatever reason, unless I duck in twice I will get that crush move that pushes people away

Pressing f3 once puts you into ducking. Holding f3 until he ducks again gives you access to the blue spark moves.

i agree but fuck the comentators. all of tje suck and steve is fkn uber cringe trash.
if only Aris didnt become a succesfull streamer but a comentator full time...

just hold the buttons

you jsut get into it find your character and then check youtube totorials and fundamentals stuff. find a player who is on your level in ranked and shoot him an invite so you can play together. its way better than getting trashed by people way ahead of you.

Fuck that makes sense, thanks

What is a fighting game?

and yet he still doesnt play it LOL

Didn't pick thje easiest place to start desu.

tekken

It's fun to play, fun to watch, looks good, hype OST, easy to pick up and has enough depth for people willing to learn the game while still being easy for casuals to mash their way to victory against other casuals.

It only lacks single player content for people that care about single player content. But the ones who give a damn about this are probably playing MK anyway.

Tekken 7 is the best fightan of the generation by far, OP.

Ha, jokes on you. I've never even played XV. I don't even know what a Prompto is and why Noctis keeps calling him.

I do wonder why 3 introduced Forest, only to bring back Marshall from 4 onward.
Was Forest that unpopular, or did they enjoy the idea of Marshall being down on his luck and going deeper into debt?

If you play her you'll cry.
youtu.be/9HIIjzav-TQ

Xiaoyu was like the closest thing. She was I believe 15/16 during Tekken 3.

I think it was because Forest was in Tag, but Law was not with him so Harade brought back Law, and used the incident excuse to not bring him back.

tekken is a garbage button masher, SFV and MK11 are much better games, if you honestly think tekken is a good game let alone "the best fighting game of the generation" then you clearly have brain damage.

Ganryu is guaranteed. I feel like Bruce has a good chance even if Josie is already in the game.

tekken is perfect because it can be a low skill floor button masher for casuals and still be fun, but the skill ceiling is so insane it appeals to the competitive fags. even an intermediate player is going to beat a mindless button masher 99/100.

Thats a no for me.

Is Tekken the Smash of 3D fighters? I read this post again and I realised that if you changed the game's name it applies directly to Tekken as well. The same top players every time with an identical grand final in 99% of tournaments, extremely low player retention rate to the point that every competitor is in their 30s or older and been playing since 3/5, a solved game where no new tech is ever discovered and no exciting plays get made. Legacy factor counts more than anything else. No top Tekken player has ever been competent at another fighting game, likewise people who dabble in other fighting games don't bother with Tekken. The series is visibly more shallow and poorly designed than the rest of its subgenre. All things it has in common with Smash.

Is this Tekken's legacy after 20 years? The equivalent casual party masher, just in 3D?
