Tekken 8 Has the Best Story in Fighting Games

[@raginlemon9261]

Tekken is harder but a lot more rewarding I'd say. It's movement is just superb and it's skill floor and skill ceiling are so far apart that you end up with a game that makes you feel like you're always improving, so long as you pay attention to the lessons you learn from each fight. I was planning to wait until the DLC inevitably came and the price went down a bucket load but I may have to just go for it because this looks like everything Tekken 7 should have been.
