If you supported SF5 during it's life-cycle, then this would NOT have taken you by surprise. Capcom mostly fucked us Day 1 SF5 players. Most fans then praised Crapcom for pandering with those 4th and 5th season characters and changes, which I completely hated. This is predominantly why I skipped SF6. I've also skipped the last 2 Mortal Kombats due to woke pandering and mobile-style game-design. I DID buy Tekken 8 and it's post-release, cash shop is a back spinkick to the nuts 👎👎

[@dony2852]

On an aesthetic note, SF6 had some dramatic redesigns and changes in art style from all the other Street Fighter games. The changes aren't for everyone to say the least. Tekken 8 looks like a more advanced version of Tekken 7 with all the returning characters coming back mostly better than ever. Fans of the series can feel right at home with Tekken 8 right away but fans of SF had a lot to get used to from SF6.

[@pablocasas5906]

The thing with Tekken is that it was one of the first 3D fighting games and, while some characters did look kind of stylized in earlier games, that meant that the characters look more natural in a realistic rendering. On the other hand, Street Fighter debuted as a sprite-based game and had a more anime/cartoony look and some of their designs don't translate well into a more realistic style

[@dony2852]

@@pablocasas5906 I think that is more to do with the trend that 3D games have gone with than what they could have done. Pixar, Dreamworks, Illumination, etc do nothing but cartoon animation and Mario games have transitioned quite faithfully to 3D afterall. Tekken in particular took a lot of inspiration from Virtua Fighter which strove for the highest degree of realism. The series simply iterated from there.

Lol tekken for mature players... Most of them rage quit during matches or don't rematch. Typical kid behavior. I went back to Sf6 after T8 and man does the lobbies feel nicer, people actually talk there instead of dead chibi world no one cares about because everyone is in training. You can play several characters at the same time in Sf6 because it's easy to get into, while in tekken there's so many moves you just play one. Trying to play a side character feels like a waste of time. I stopped Sf6 for almost a year and I feel like I didn't forget much and matches have been more fun and chill than in Tekken where you only play versus broken characters like Lilly, dragunov, eddy, the Chinese guy, Xiao Ling and a few others I probably missed. By the time you master the basics in Tekken (movement, defense, how to get up, how to break throws... with one character) you probably could have played all Sf6 characters in ranked while having fun. Labbing is not what I call fun in a fighting game.

[@Yaiba4869]

In Street Fighter 6 you can purchase costume 2 for each character with money, same as the costume 3, but the difference is, the Costume 2 you can actually get 4free with the World Tour mode, you simply have to get the bond level of the Master on max level, and you get costume 2 for free

[@Pewpewpew182]

A buddy of mine works at BN (coordinator for the marketing team). He told me that they knew the game would do well, but not as well as it did right now. They were afraid with not many next gen consoles being available they would take time to make more sales (3 million copies in 6 months I think was their goal). That said, Max possibly hit the hammer on the nail perfectly, sf6 had to bring back players after they didn’t like 5/MVC:I. Tekken had to prove itself after TTT2. 7’s player base grew over time (had a pc port) and translated over to 8. Either way, loving T8 right now, but want to spend some time on SF6 when I have more time. ❤

TO BE FAIR Both games are dam good I've only been able to try the demo for Tekken 8; but I've played (nearly) all of them, since Tekken 1 - & Tekken 8 does not disappoint - like every entry in Tekken; a series that continues to evolve, improve, & most importantly, builds on what has When you have something good; You don't cut corners, you don't water it down, you don't strip out the good stuff - you build on it But there's something about Street Fighter 6; that scratches a particular itch - that I hope Tekken 8 scratches; like its previous entries - the fighting What I loved most, about say; Tekken 5, was this 1 Mode, where you fight 1 CPU Opponent after the next, going through Ranks like Kyu & Dan In Street Fighter 6, World Tour; this Mode is dangerously addictive - with its grindy RPG mechanics, & ability to fight... Pretty much everyone (& everything; including roombas), Similar to Yakuza & Like a Dragon Another example; Virtua Fighter 4; Kumite Mode. Soul Calibur 5 - this uh, Mode; Where you fought randomly made Characters, from everyone's Create a Soul Now - what gave these fighting games such replay value, to me? What 1 feature; was the most satisfying? The fighting. The fighting itself - which you could do, back to back, almost nonstop It's like Free Hunt; in Monster Hunter, or the Guiding Lands in Monster Hunter World - where you just hunt, to your heart's content Simply just being able to fight, With as little down time between fights, in this way, made a game like Street Fighter 6, a new favorite; the fighting - as much as I want, until I've had my fill

Both games are great. But SF6 is ALL TIME GREAT! But Tekken’s aesthetics have always had greater appealed than SF6. Same goes for the controls. Casuals do not like circle fighters (pad input special fighters). How do I know this? Several casuals gamers have told me and I’ve seen this statement online for years. Most casual are not going to buy a stick and just use a controller. There’s a reason why Mortal Kombat has been the king of fighting game sales. The aesthetic is unmatched and the is essentially the only 2D fighter to use the limb controls similar to Tekken. With all that being said. Tekken 8 is great. But SF6 an All Time Great game. Tekken 8 isn’t on that level. And that’s coming from someone who prefers Tekken, but you’d be lying to say SF6 isn’t the greater game, it just does so much!

[@aznswordmaster1458]

A buddy of mine whose not in to these games normally always favored Tekken over Sf. I think part of it is characters, ease of play, and story. Same buddy got really tempted to get a stick just cause of Tekken. Sf6 on a lore or story perspective, nothing really kept me personally hooked aside from why does Ken look homeless, only to find out not much moved on that story beat. Simply put, on the casual side of thing I think Tekken 8 has more stuff to offer meaning more chances for those casuals to be converted to invested players.

[@RushianRichard]

As a big SF fan, I've been following you for quite some time but now you've earned yourself a sub for not dxck riding sf6. 😏It absolutely has great netcode and more options than any other sf, but it never felt like real Street Fighter to me and I agree with your recent, more critical vids (Ed anyone? lol). It takes balls to take such a less popular stand but you always come across as a sincere guy and I like how you present your arguments. Keep it true! 😑👍

Yup. I don't like SF3 either. Animation + Chun-Li look really good, but the roster is a gaggle of dorks + despite running on superior CPS3 hardware, there's no line-scrolling which was in EVERY iteration of SF2!?

[@danielmorris738]

I disagree. I own both. My problem with tekken is… they added “supers” and super armored attacks, rendering unblockables kinda useless. 10hit combo per character…Reducing the moves of characters as well is… bittersweet. Now tekken has more characters, but I feel street fighters players are more fleshed out. Both fun though. But gameplay wise I’m going sf6. Yet the dlc has yet to complete for one, and start for the other franchise. So that will matter, as well as balance updates.

The truth of the matter, is that both sf6 n T8 r excellent fighting games. It was very much possible for both these games to end up like mk1 but unlike nrs both capcom and namco took criticism of their previous games to heart. It is true that T8 is the better saler but sales r not indicator whether a game is good or not, just if its commercially viable. If sales determine if a game is good then fortnite is superior to both these games and mk1 is a good fighting game.

[@Fyrijou]

The reason Tekken in general is more popular/ sold is because, as you said, it’s far more beginner/ casual friendly. With SF, you *have* to know how the specials and combos work to win. With Tekken, mashing buttons results in you doing things without knowing and still be able to win, hence why you don’t need to know how it works to play it properly. That’s why most casual players get the game to play with friends and keep it in the back if the boys come over. But on a personal note, the Story Mode in Tekken 8 sucks. Admittedly, SF6‘s World Tour mode is far more stretched out than it deserves to be and the main story is bland af. But it still has a phenomenal character creator and you can interact with the world of SF/ Final Fight and build a friendship with your favorite fighters. In Tekken 8‘s story mode, 3/4th of the story is utter pointless nonsense where not a single character except Jin truly gets character development (Azucena is literally a walking 1 dimensional joke). The new tournament is pointless, characters lose all their agency just to join a literal military warfield in their ring attires and just talk about how Jin is the last hope of the universe (probably explains why Miguel wasn’t in the game).

[@rxzero00]

I think Tekken 8 looks better than Street Fighter 6 (not talking about avatars since both look awful). I do play 2D games like Guilty Gear. I don't care enough to play Street Fighter 6 and Tekken 8 has a lot of good out. I do prefer other games but I rather play Tekken 8. I wish Virtua Fighter was on PC and that Dead or Alive and Soul Calibur wasn't dead by their respective companies.

[@memekingk373]

Why do you have to resort to making boring ragebait

[@MauricioPereiradaFon]

the discussion about which one is the best makes no sense for me, one is a 2d fighting game the other is a 3d, maybe for casual players tekken is and has always been more attractive since its way easier to just "mash buttons", but more new players go high in ranks more they will need to learn advanced movement (korean backdash), more high execution combos and whiff punishes. Both games are really good and cant be compared since the difference between 2d and 3d fighting games is massive outside of beginners level, just the speed of the games are different if you consider the fastest attack in tekken (jab) is usually 10 frames of startup, one-sixth of a second (i didnt play tekken 8 but i think they didnt change that) and In Sf jabs are usually 3 frames of startup (3 times faster), it makes you understand how different those games are. I always thought it was funny how casual players keep trying to push one game over another as "the superior fighting game" while most people who are into fighting games usually likes both games cause they are so different, its like trying to compare dragonball fighterZ with smash, one is a platform fighter and the other is a tag team anime fighter, they are not even in the same subgenre of fighting games.

New to Tekken at a more competitive level but I'm a long-time 2D fighting gamer. I dabbled with Tekken when I was younger as it was just a cool title to have with all the features and cutscenes. Now I switched over to T8 as my main game as the 3D fighting just feels more fluid and intuitive for me. Also it's much easier to pick up an alternate character in Tekken compared to SF, as chars same some universal traits.

[@blairwich1935]

Really? This confuses me as Tekken characters all "act" so different.

[@KanesakiHyudou]

@blairwich1935 They play differently yes cause that's part of their personality per character, But universal rules like, Counter Hit low to launch, 10 frame generic Jab that gives plus frames, Crouch Jab that gives you a turn, 15 Frame Punishers that Launch, and the Low Mid High game is still the fundamental of tekken. Not only that, Each character has their noticeable weaknesses which makes matchups more interesting. In a fundamental level every character is similar yet different cause T8 did their hardest to establish the character's personality and uniqueness through their playstyle.

World tour is a far more robust offline mode than Tekken's story mode and arcade quest I've sunk nearly 70 hours into it. Super ghost battle though is just the kind of continuous mode I like to grind and it's much more fun with the ghosts putting up more resistance. SF6's biggest issue though is the stubborn refusal to do any character balancing for 9 months despite the meta being clear. The crowd at Capcom cup popped when Lily showed up for one match in group stages because she's rarely seen and in need of help. The game would have retained players a lot better if they had reigned in the likes of Luke, Ken, JP and Dee Jay and helped the weaker characters.

This is a really damn good assessment. I agree. Tekken always provided more to the player ever since Tekken 3. A Tekken player can comfortable play a beginner and vice versa. A SF player can't really do that outside of SF6. The story is always way better than Street Fighter. Tekken has a long history that follows all the way back to the first Tekken with the Mishimas. Street Fighter's narrative (especially it's timeline) is all over the place.

The truth is that for every Juri we get, we get 5 or 6 characters that we either don't care about or outright hate.

[@jjrilla___2664]

⁠​⁠@@aledantih6524I was a huge Bruce fan so naturally played josie in Tekken 7. Before that Bryan. Tekken suffers from a different problem to SF too many characters. Move lists are around 100-130 for each character. Some characters don’t get enough play because even though they are fun they are not very effective so people don’t play them. When Tekken retires a character they some times combine two characters moves or adapt key moves or even split moves amongst two characters prime example is Bruce, Bryan and Josie. None of them feel or play like Bruce they all have a unique style and look and their own playstyle. In Tekken 8 all the OG characters have been reworked. The heat system also makes a big difference in how some OG’s play. Hwoarang in heat is a beast. Bottom line Tekken and street fighter have different design philosophies I appreciate both. Tekken due to number of moves gives more variety in my opinion which leads to more options even if once the optimal stuff is discovered some of those are no longer used. Street fighter will never have a character as crazy as Yoshi the 2D playstyle will not allow it. At the end of the day I want both franchises to succeed as competition breeds innovation. Luckily we can be fans of both.

Capcom does it to themselves. Releasing Street Fighter 5 at full price with basically 25% of what it would eventually contain was foolish & insulting. If this was possible back in the 16 & 32 bit days, it wouldn't have been surprising if Capcom did this with Street Fighter. Instead they did the next best thing they could do. Made complete games at full price, then released a revised version with minor gameplay tweaks & some new characters also for full price. Can't forget they did the same thing with Street Fighter 4 & all its "sequels" too. I didn't even bother with SF 5 until it became much more affordable & had all of the content. It's a very good game but for me personally, it falls behind SF 2, SF 4 & SF 3 (in that order) in terms of gameplay & enjoyment. Haven't played 6 yet & if I do purchase it, won't be until like 5 it has all its updates, tweaks & content on offer & of course nowhere near the launch price.

I'm of the opinion that companies should learn from each other and there are extra modes that should ALWAYS be available in EVERY fighting game besides Arcade, Story (at some point there was a split and it became the norm now), and Training. - Time Attack (Arcade with a time goal, the faster we beat, the higher the score) - Survival (Arcade with one life) - Dramatic Battle (from SFA3) - R. Dramatic Battle (SFA3) - Trials - Challenges (from SFxT, like can only win the round with 3+ hit combos, only EX does damage, etc) - Ghost Battle (Tekken 4 onwards I believe, where we fight AI ghosts of people we met online in an endless arcade and we could farm ext or the game's currency) - Shadow Battle (DLC inspired from vanilla MvC3 where an improved version would be to pay for the AI ghost of PRO PLAYERS, not everybody can go to EVO so I would have gladly payed to play Daigo's Ryu, Daigo's Guile, Problem X's Bison etc and they'd get a commission of course) - "Boss Rush" (using SFV as an example, it would have been Sagat (SF1), Shin.Bison (SF0), Shin Akuma (SF2), Seth (USF4), Max Presidentiality G and Triggered Necalli (SFV), Urien and Omega Gill (SF3) - exclusive modes per game, SFV for example should have had a "SHADALOO SURVIVAL" ( Grunt soldiers (bronze, silver, gold), then the Dolls, then 4 kings)

14:23 Just a quick passage of transparency here: I have not yet seen just how good *Tekken 8* actually is. To be certain, I can see how epically driving the narrative is for the game, so I have yet to look into this for myself. That being said, from my observation of its trailer, Tekken 8's narrative does seem a bit more *dull* to me, what given exactly how threatening Kazuya Mishima seems to be once again, though I am absolutely sure I will see for myself how the story ends. However, especially in this case, I would like to argue one thing in defense of *Street Fighter 6:* we are only a few days close towards *Capcom's* release of DLC for Akuma [ (悪魔) Gouki, 豪鬼]. At this point..., who knows what has become of this Raging Demon? *Maybe he has trained to advance in quicker development of his fighting skills and overall strength than before;* JUST...YOU...WAIT...!

[@level9drow856]

Um...I never liked the way Mortal Kombat, Tekken and virtual fighters looked. Their characters looked and still look so wooden and stiff compared to Street Fighter and SNK fighting games. SBK and Capcom are such superior animators and give their characters so much more animations and different styles of normal than MK, VF and Tekken. Even when the characters get hit there is more varies animations based on what they got hit by and the physics of the bodies look more realistic. Even Maximillian was surprised when he saw the Ed trailer after playing Tekken for so long, he had forgotten how good the animations look after playing Tekken. I'm not saying MK, VF and Tekken are bad games, and even more normie players won't notice the difference of the polish, but for me it has to look good first. If it doesn't I won't play it. Tekken, MK, Killer Instinct and VF never looked good to me.
