[@MrInuhanyou123]

The thing is that the Tekken 7 your looking at is not Tekken 7 from 2015 but Tekken 7 console from 2017. Which had upgraded graphics compared to the original t7 in arcades. So in 2017 we had games like injustice 2 and guilty gear xrd second rev out which smoked it in terms of 3D visuals and people were disappointed at that time. But Tekken 7 was low budget so it was never going to be bleeding edge graphics

[@DevilsFavoriteMan]

Tekken 7 was underdeveloped until they released it on consoles in 2017, so it's 2017 game & didn't even come close to MKX that was released in 2014 (in terms of graphic) And if we take look at Injustice 2's graphic that also launched in 2017, Tekken 7's graphic wasn't even close to that "god damn good" But I'm not a jerk, it was a low budget game, this was all we could get Now that Tekken 8 came we're finally getting a good looking Tekken
