Tekken lost it's identity. They need to reboot the franchise. Short combos, no meter, completely redone animations and models, cut down on the particles and effects, no guns/projectiles, all the characters based on a martial art. Maybe use the characters from Tekken 1 to start.
I doubt they can do something like that, now that it's a "spectator sport".

Juggling was a high end skill that would result in one or two extra hits on your opponent. Now it's a requirement due to the bastardized mechanics of NuTekken.
Ironic you mention Sonic cause going fast in older Sonic required skill and knowledge of the level, unlike nuSonic where it's a literal button press.

I wouldn't say it's boring, but it's hard as fuck. It asks much more from the player than Tekken, since movement is so difficult (you can't backdash and block like in Tekken) and all the action is so close and fast. Most of the fight you're literally at dick-jab distance.

The reason he is "broken" is because he forces aggressive characters to turtle up and bait out his counter throws and only then attack. It slows the game to a halt. He's not strong by any other mean than being unreadable until you bait him. Wing Chun man of Tekken but done wrong. Wing Chun should be more aggressive and only employ counters during a string of a combo.

Okay? He's still a offensive counter character. Conceptually the problems would arise in whatever identity that kit belongs to.

this can barely be called spacing. This is just choosing to sidestep in the right direction when you're against the wall. This is positioning. Spacing implies the gap between you and the opponent
>What you're trying to say is you want a game where you move around and try to force a whiff punish

I actually don't even know what to say. This is a genuine fucking child who thinks he can just say shit without knowing the fucking history of the franchise he's talking about.

Virtua Fighter FELL into obscurity, sure, but was one of the biggest IPs in the world. And it suffered like any other Japanese giant did and it was the needing adaptation to the HD pipeline. And you are hilariously out of your mind to think Tekken doesn't owe its entire identity to Virtua Fighter on its massive contributions to 3D fighting games.

Get the fuck out of here, you fucking child.

Nigger I know how popular it originally was and what it's legacy is, it's why it gets so many chances and new games. but your nostalgia googles are fully rose tinted if you think VF can appeal to anyone other than a small niche these days. There's nothing appealing about it anymore.
It's like a sad dude that peaked in his highschool years and is trying desperately to relive them.

This is a generalization but not every 3D fighting game needs to reduce character kits to just forcing that window for a whiff punish. YOU CAN LIKE IT and I won't deny that I don't see why you like it but not every 3D fighting game needs to obey that prerogative. I like stances, I like mixups, I like projectiles, I like counters, and they work in DOA, VF, and SC because those games are designed with them in mind.

Pretending that there are characters that can't force distance or rush in Virtua Fighter is genuinely dishonest. As I said before, stages literally shape a character's gameplan so hard. Lei-Fei is a monster when he's on the larger stages but you box him in with a ring out on either left or right and suddenly he has to make up for this.

You don't have to like Virtua Fighter but come on, man.

What's going to determine its tournament run is retention and you might have me there but Japan LOVES Virtua Fighter. VF3 tournaments are literally happening as we speak.

Stop talking like you KNOW what you're talking about. Its fucking embarrassing.

Alright, we've busted OP's tekken balls long enough, I gather by "underground" he was referring less to reception and more to the ever vague modern mindset of something's "vibes", with how the cast appeared to be a blend of self interested, stoic and seedy brawlers.

Unfortunately even there he's off mark, anyone who was born before the beginning of this sentence likely already knows or has been told about Street Fighter taking from popular culture. The same applies with Tekken, Devil Kazuya lifting from Devil Man, King from Tiger Mask, the Jacks from Terminator.
The thing is with time the references began to draw from more modern pop culture as it went on which is why we got Naruto's creator on Lars, two faced influencer elements with Lucky Chloe.

Honestly though I can't think of many fighting games with a roster and image that isn't affected by pop culture reference and shifts, aside from maybe Smash Bros of all things but that has its own direction hurdles.

Dude. I've been playing Tekken since 90s. Yeah, the intro movies and ending movies were fun. But they didn't define the experience. The experience was defined by actually playing the games with your friends and improving and learning. The stories and endings were just there to show the characters but they had absolutely nothing to do with the actual game play. I don't care the reasons Paul had to enter the tournament. I don't care about Steve being Nina's son. I don't care about Xiaoyu's obsession with amusement parks. They are fun tidbits but they have nothing to do with the actual gameplay. I don't care if Paul's story is more humorous and Mishima's stories are more serious. They don't matter in the fights.

SF2 was never an console game. It sold on Arcades.
SF3 was the same thing it sold on Arcades, later it became the cultural game on few arcades (later emulated to FightCade in 2014 where it lived off).
Also the knock off games like Alpha Fighter or the 3D games were forgotten in to redundancy when Capcom tired to try new things.
SF4 was the first big console release making Street Fighter relevant first time in consoles. Mortal Kombat was also on fire and Killer Instinct. It's only real rivals.

All this time Tekken 2-6 dominated on the console with no real rival. It was mix of Smash and SF where people tried to play casually and competitively. Now later Tag 2 releases and with Tekken 7 making Tekken very relevant on the competitive scenes.

Then Murray released Tekken 8 and killed the whole franchise

I think it might make sense if there also was sometimes a reason to not press or hold anything. But usually in the block button games, if you're not pressing or moving you should be holding the block button. So at that point it's not much of a "conscious choice" but just what you do by default.

Tekken 6 is where the series truly went full retard. I don't know why Tekken feels the need to go bigger and bigger with each new entry. Now you have events going on a global scale, characters transforming and destroying cities. What's wrong with a simple tournament with big bad at the end? Characters having their own personal reasons to be in that tournament. It doesn't need to affect the entire planet, stop with this Mishima shit already and the rage mechanic is fucking retarded.

it's incredible how vf fans go full defense mode as soon as someone dares to criticizes their game. It looks bland, yes it's fun to play, but it needs to be fun to watch as well.
>b-but they need to cater to the REAL fans and not newcomers
How is that working out for you? vf5 is dead, no one plays this game, no one watches this game, which means that it will lose support eventually if vf6 follows the same path

in VF you break throws by holding P+G and then the direction of the throw which is why holding back to block just wouldn't work in VF without a major revamp to the controll scheme, you need to be able to press back at key moments
so its not an obsession its just how it be
i wouldn't hold out any hope that vf6 changes this in any way

genuinely what happened to tekken? i feel there was a shift around 6 where they started with all the shit we have now, by that i mean god awful anime characters, taking its weird anime story seriously, longer combos, rage, etc. it used to be about exagerated martial arts, with a sprinkle of anime, movement felt much better and moves had a LOT less range and uses in general so you had to think more since commiting to moves had risk, even the graphics looked better, now its a bloated 100gb game that looks like shit because of UE5, plays like shit and every characters is a stance machine, you only want to get in someones face, mash endlessly and steal as many turns as possible because as soon as you stop they start doing the same thing to you

There's a weird balance with Tekken where 8 is in a bad place due to unrelenting stance pressure from characters like Anna, but a large amount of people complaining are complaining about it are doing so in the context of eating 20 year old Junkyard mixups and not stepping extremely steppable moves.

Tekken 1-3 was leading the culture of videogames at the time, the characters were one of the only things ever from Japan that were not anime dragonballz inspired stuff, they were drawing on fashion, music, real life and culture, kind of in the same way that only Yakuza does now, Kazuya being a Yakuza style character only affirms this point. That music and style in those games was appealing to west and east at the same time, unlike now where it's bifurcated.

The reason Tekken is a shadow of it's former self is it no longer gas that appeal. Character customisation I'm particular, was the final nail on the coffin.

You have to admit even if it's the same team leads, Tekken 5 onwards and maybe even Tekken 4, is like as if a new studio took over the franchise, like crash 4 it's about time. They just lost the magic of it. Whatever they do with the series now it's legacy tributes to things that were once iconic. They wont recapture relavancey because Tekken was once more than just a fighting game, it was a pioneer into 3d gaming and the millenium era, just like Lara Croft, solid snake and the rest of the beautiful works if art of that time.

What we have now, if you think videogames are art, which is debatable, is like getting new teams in to make sequels to the works of renaissance painters. Tekken was a third place before it was a fighting game. Now it's just a parody of what it was, and not even a loving parody. It's like a Chinese car boot sale knock-off of the original thing, but with great "gameplay".

We need to realise while gameplay is King, there are things more transcendental than regalness.

I could see it as it's in King's character to forgive and help people at their lowest point like when Armor King helped the first King get his life back together. Though he did beat the shit out of Marduk.

I still don't like Marduk as he feels like a background character from another characters ending that gets beat up.
