Tekken Animations | 2D vs 3D

Street Fighter X Tekken - Characters Moves Comparison, this crossover game has done a great job recreating Tekken animation. Some of Tekken 8 new hit effect is also inspired by SF X TK

[@TheGamersState]

It's honestly such a massive shame Street Fighter X Tekken got the controversy it did. In terms of actual effort, the game was solid and a ton of fun to play. It was just ruined by the horrible implementation of the gems and of course the On-Disk DLC. If I'm being honest; I wish they'd at least re-release it on PC because by now all the outrage has died down and it could be a good way to re-energize interest.

[@Harveeee]

True. I also hope they re-release Tekken 1 to Tekken Tag 2 on PC as well.

[@KasumiRINA]

​@@Harveeee I got a used PS3 for like 100 bucks and I installed all these games from the weird time nothing got PC ports. Tekken 6, Tag 2, SoulCalibur IV and V and a bunch of mecha games. Pretty cool and I can play it when PC renders something.

[@hrleinad]

Why re-release it? was it removed from Steam or something?

I like the snappiness of the Capcom animation, not going to lie. Given the 2d style, they clearly felt more at liberty to embellish the movements with hit stop and effects.

I hate the hit stop and jerky 2D animations that are like 6 frames and 3 frames get cut by rollback, so online they look even worse. But it's cool to see Tekken in 2D.

[@benjamingesinski9170]

Street Fighter X Tekken was actually my first Street Fighter game. Although, back then I had no idea what Street Fighter or Tekken was, but I still thought it was fun. I wish they would release this game on Steam with all the DLC characters, and at least Megaman and Pacman.

[@panzerfaust8452]

Kinda late to the party, but the game IS on Steam, I believe. But, no DLCs, and the game is basically defunct, since Games For Windows Live(damned be it name) is not working anymore, so, no online play. You can however, ahem, "obtain" DLCs through certain methods, but, uh, I didn't say that. A shame that nor Tekken 8 nor SF6 don't feature SFxT soundtrack. It's one hell of a banger.

[@WednesdayMan]

@@panzerfaust8452 yes it's on steam but it's not even purchaseable, capcom has yet to make it purchaseable again.

[@chidorisnake22]

I gotta say, SF x TK's VFX & Sound Design is incredibly underrated. Looking at this comparison, you can actually feel the hits being dished out. I like how some moves are represented in Tekken, but there's just something about the exaggerated landing of each blow that makes it so satisfying

[@jblue88hoodgamer54]

Capcom wasn't Playing when they where working on Tekken Characters.

[@JoeGodHand]

It’s interesting how tekken 8 is borrowing some of the flair of key moves from sfxtk

[@jack-exzolt9858]

It's the same as having Akuma in Tekken canon and the existence of Eliza. Harada is just making up for the cancelled Tekken x SF that was supposed to follow SFxT.

What amazes me is that Tekken characters have more personality in Street Fighter than Tekken 7 Somehow they feel so soulless in Tekken games especially in Tekken 7, just look at Jin, He once fixed his glove and said "coy" in Tekken 4 and Namco used that animation and voice in almost any Tekken that came after, what's worse? That's not the only reused assets from older Tekken games in Tekken 7 Finally they're putting efforts in Tekken 8

[@Fyrijou]

SFxT was actually mad fun. It was an amazing tag system for a Street Fighter game and the various win quotes offered more personality to each character more than ever. Not to mention, i will die on this hill saying SFxT had the best trailers of any fighting game in history

Honestly, I do like how in SFxTK the moves have that "Capcom" twist to them with the effects and the more stylized/cartoony animations. Not saying that they look 100% better or that the originals look stiff by comparison, but I just wanted to point that out.

Both are great. Though if Capcom had animated the Tekken cast’s attacks in SF3 or even CVS style I’d go for 2D without hesitation. Still prefer how a lot of these look in SFXTK.

Lighting from SFIV and Tekken effect shapes - cool combo.

[@jaysanj152]

The only thing i've noticed are the lack of ANY visual feedback and effects when you make a move. Almost every moves in Tekken while literally identically the same,They all just look normal besides Ironically...Akuma. Meanwhile in SFxT,They all look mighty satisfying to pull off,Especially Law's Punches and Nina's Grab... Which makes me all the more happier to see Tekken 8 improving where they added the Visual Feedbacks and Effects i've been talking about.

It's not exactly that. It's that each developer team specialize in different 3d techniques, and SF and TK are very different in essence.

[@blamethebrain9282]

Sorry. Street fighter flair is cool and all. But that freeze framing kills it for me. Tekken is smooth, or at least it was. The attacks didnt freeze the characters making the moves smother and the flow more clear. Street fighter mortal kombat and the dc fighter game all have that freeze frame crap which feels clunky and out dated to me. Tekken's smooth flow is always my go to. Also, cant do the 2D thing. 3D opens the game up to moving left and right. Lot better than street fighter or mortal kombat.

[@DarkOverlord96]

Dude doesn't know about keyframes in animation lol Also, SF is better than MK by a country mile lol

[@blamethebrain9282]

@DO96 and both are garbage to tekken. Key frames wasn't a thing in tekken for real until people needed to see the absolute frame count of every move, tekken 7. Hence why I said it WAS smooth. I mean the old school tekkens. Tekken 1, 2 and 3. And tekken tag 1. Also, this is just my opinion on which is better. I dont care in the slightest if you like tekken or not. And I don't care if people complain that SF or MK is better. Tekken was my childhood game. Have I played the others? Sure have. I beat SF 4 and MK 9. I didn't like the way they freeze during each attack. Where as, tekken does not up to a point. The combos flow together, and it feels smoother is all I'm saying. I dont care about key frames or stats and shit. All you try hard diehards care about that. I just like a smooth movement game with my favorite characters kicking ass. All that extra shit ruins the fun. Take that as you will.

[@mauriciokilo]

Thats why in our world most fighting games 'self-inspires' them in Tekken, not in Street Fighter, righ? Wait...

[@blamethebrain9282]

@Mauricio Kilo you missing the point, homie. I THINK Tekken is better. I aint saying it is. I think it feels better. What you saying makes little sense here. This is my opinion, which I am more than comfortable sharing. Like what you like, as everyone does. But Tekken is my favorite game. Don't care if the formula is used by anyone else. It's been with me since I was a kid. And it's what my father and I played alot when I was young. Sorry that makes my opinion so sour to you, but that's what it is.
