Tekken 8 is the only modern fighting game to my knowledge where approaching is inherently risky because 90% of moves hit like a truck, will probably track if you sidestep, and/or launch on counter hit for a combo

It really is a coin flip as to whether fishing for big damage turns out to be a good thing or bad, so the best strategy is to bait them into whiffing. The problem with that is that Tekken has the most boring neutral/safe poke game in the genre, so matches drag forever with players doing little, and that's before you even factor in Rage arts killing whatever momentum the fight has. Game's a big mess
