Thanks so much for watching! I was the producer and narrator of this list, but we decided placements by having a meeting with all of our FGC people on staff, and individual game entries were written by the experts in each of them. Weirdly enough, I've been using a lot of your Tekken guides recently and didn't even know you had made a reaction video to ours. Glad you liked it! And thanks so much for all the Tekken help!

Honestly the list is quite solid, and it's easy to tell the editor behind the list is in touch with the scene. One of the criteria listed at the start of the video that most people critiquing the list tend to miss out on is "playable in the modern day" statement. That statement alone makes it easier to form a proper, consolidated list without bias for nostalgia or importance on release. As such, games like Tekken 3 while being quite impactful for it's time is most definitely not a game for the modern day. You can only play so many games before the gameplay feels shallow and the quirky modes lose their appeal. Tekken 7's combat on the other hand has matured so well; it's deep, addicitve and rewarding with plenty of accessibility for developing unique playstyles.

[@davidparry5310]

T7 is quite clearly bent towards flowcharts, 50/50s and pitbull aggression - not what I want out of a Tekken game, personally.

[@DreadPyke]

@@davidparry5310 I agree, Tekken 7 does lean towards more aggressive 50/50 and CH heavy rewards. Which makes the way Knee won EVO all the more spectactular... Pure defense and hardly any 50/50 mixups. I think that's the great thing about the game; easy to cater your own playstyle in this game. One player's Feng could be alot different to any other's at the highest level etc.

[@tiger-rgn]

you are crazy if you think tekken 3 is not fun to play today, you have no idea what you are talking about, and what do you mean tekken 7's gameplay "matured" so well? its the latest game in the franchise lmao clearly you have no clue in your reasoning

[@KipchakWarmonger]

​@@tiger-rgn when people try to play these nostalgic games such as SF2, VF2 and Tekken 3, they tend to play just a couple of rounds, listen to stage music, do a couple of cool moves and turn them off. Because these kind of games have just nostalgic value and impact in the gaming HİSTORY, they are not fun in modern standarts. You won't spend hours in T3 and SF2. You'll immediately switch to modern games that richer in content/features.

@@THR33_Dizzle The keyword in this comment is "creative". All the characters in Killer Instinct - be it the older games or the most recent game - stood out from one another and truly had their own characteristics, and still do to this day. The best part is that their themes alone will tell you exactly what kind of character they are. Tekken 4 was insanely great though. It took some time to realise it, since I didn't like how slow and different it felt in comparison to Tekken 3 and 5, but on retrospect, it literally was the launchpad for what Tekken is today.

Then there is the fact that we don’t even have 10 noteworthy plattform fighters let alone 10 different franchises.

[@LucasMalaquias]

Have you played it recently? I've had the same opinion as you until I went to play it again this year. It's a fun arena fighter, but it lacks a lot of what makes FighterZ so complex. And while the roster is massive, there's not enough variety between characters to make them feel as unique as they are in the show. Fighterz made such a good job tailoring characters to how they fight in the source material, there's in nothing that comes that close to it.

budokai 3 was hype and super fun to play against cpu or your friends yea but in a competitive setting? nah lmao

KOF13 actually is 3D. However, The team Roto scoped over the 3D with new Sprite animations. Which is VERY EXPENSIVE

[@AirLancer]

It's literally not. That's like saying the Fleischer Superman cartoons from the 1940s are 3D because they rotoscoped real people, or that Mortal Kombat 1 was a 3D game because it used pictures of real people who are obviously 3-dimensional in real life. Using 3D models to create more consistent 2D sprites doesn't suddenly make those sprites 3D, they're still just flat images.

[@MaoriGamerDood]

@Ryu actually I could have worded myself better. It is 2D ( obviously ) but the fluid and subtle animations being painfully recreated over the 3D models is what I was getting at. I'm just fascinated by what they did to make such a Gorgeous 2D game. But it came at a VERY HEAVY Cost. Time and Money. They eventually put Mai in as an Apology for KOF12. But GEESE was almost Finished, and they Still Left him out 😭

[@plainkapp]

[@Mr440c]

Placing 3rd Strike to first place is ultimate justice imo. I've transitioned to it from T7 about a year ago due to terrible online and have been having a blast so far. Most of the time (about 80%) I lose and still every match is fun. Just doing basic combo's or sequences successfully is so fullfilling that that is enough to get that dopamine flowing.

I have mixed opinion about parrying, it kinda just takes away your okizeme against a good player. You should be rewarded when you knock down your opponent, but if you are lucky it's still a 50/50...

[@vgfmshow]

The okizeme in 3rd Strike is very complex and different from basically every other fighting game. There's a good FGC Translated video where Onuki talks about the oki in 3rd Strike. It's more about timing, either putting out a meaty or delaying your meaty in response to how your opponent usually tries to get off the ground. There are people who are parry happy on wake up, but you can easily punish them for it.

The characters and the lore are literally the reason MK is popular, what are you on about? It's everything about the actual game that's garbage

[@ΔημήτρηςΤσαπραλης]

this list is super polarizing.On the one hand he has some great takes like tekken at number 3 or 3s at number 1 but at the same time saying that strive is the best gg game and not even mentioning blazblue is just...ughhhh

[@suematsu7254]

i think he explain the reason why very well.

[@ΔημήτρηςΤσαπραλης]

@@suematsu7254 why(no fr it might have gone over my head)

[@IfWhatYes]

Strive is a better game than previous gg. Stands out massively from other anime fighters, and sold better than any of them. You can be ass mad over losing p > k like every other xrd player but strive will always be statistically better regardless of your opinion

[@grayshadow2597]

Not having blazblue is just wrong.

[@ΔημήτρηςΤσαπραλης]

@@IfWhatYes bro look.I don't hate strive I actually quite like like it but to say that it is a better fighter than accent core a game that has an almost infinite amount of depth and one of the most interesting casts ever isn't quite right

[@youssefsalem135]

have you watched Tekken BLoodline?

[@mohamedabdulla]

Soul Calibur 2 should be on the list

[@steelyeyes9190]

indeed

[@hatef7023]

The only game here that I really disagree with is guilty gear strive. Accent core plus r is a hundred and twenty times better than strive. Other than that this was a very well made list.

[@wirataadidharma]

Never heard of it. If it was one of the greatest fighting game, I'd have known Accent Core but nope

[@hatef7023]

@@wirataadidharma you don't know it because it's hard as balls and it's old.

[@wirataadidharma]

@@hatef7023 Hard doesn't mean great

[@hatef7023]

@@wirataadidharma it does mean great if it's done well. The skill ceiling is extremely high, the character gameplay differences and character designs are some of the best I have seen in fighting games, this game arguably has the best offline content among all fgs(at least between the ones I have played) and I have played a lot of fighting games. I'm not saying it's the best fg of all time, but it is among the greats. It deserves the number 2 spot a lot more than strive at least. Strive is incredibly dumbed down and boring. Also next to tekken 7 Gg accent core is the most balanced game I have seen that is still fun. It's balanced in the way that everyone is broken so noone ends up getting the short end of the stick. The only balance problem this game has is Brigitte being too useless.

I think he should have choosen tekken3 since it had the most impact. But it's really hard to choose anything. He did great!

[@Sirvanic]

Soul Calibur on Dreamcast smokes all these games. Nobody cared about fucking Street Fighter 3 back in the day. It had zero hype, got bad reviews, sold like shit and nobody played it. It also has atrocious balance issues. But time passed and now for some reason it is venerated as the best fighing game ever because people watched skilled japanese players play hype matches recorded on vhs tapes on youtube. People jacking off SF3 is like that meme "Huge Earthbound fan is excited to finally play the game for the first time!"

[@Digital.midori]

Nobody played street fighter 3 sure. Third strike is a complete different story.

[@Sirvanic]

@@Digital.midori That's just revisionist history.

[@Digital.midori]

@@Sirvanic no people hated the first street fighter 3 because no legacy characters, and parry, which made the game play completely different than other street fighters before it. Second impact brought them back (legacy characters) and had many tunings/patches. By third strike it was a completely different game and people were coming back to it.

[@Sirvanic]

@@Digital.midori 3rd Strike only existed on Arcades and Dreamcast in those days. It was released just in the boom of a new console generation with the Dreamcast and PS2. Nobody cared about some old ass looking 2d fighter back then. It was all about the new graphics the new consoles could pull off. If by coming back to it you mean "1000 Japanese dudes in the Arcades and some die hard fans around the globe came back to it" then I'll buy it. But make no mistake, 3rd Strike was a huge flop like the two iterations before. 2d graphics has made a come back over the years thanks to indie shit so 3rd Strikes graphics are looked at fondly now but not back then. Nobody except a hardcore clique during the dvd era played 3rd Strike, nobody else played it, nobody is playing it now. You'll never convince me that 3rd Strike was ever popular except it's "supposed" to be the best fighter, 2d sprites is currently trendy and people watched old pro matches on KZbin.
