In universe Tekken characters are obviously really strong, but compared to other fighting games they seem like they'd be much weaker in comparison, freaks like Devil and Ogre aside
That's because they don't have powers
>>12387015>muh goku beats superman tier debatesDoesn’t matter, MK characters may have a bigger power level(or whatever you capeshit faggots call it) but that don’t change the fact that Tekken characters are infinitely more interesting and better designed visually than the shitty mocap actors in cheap cosplay and 4 palette swaps that the whole MK universe is based off, get real you retard - if some random producer didn’t find a dusty straw hat and skull helmet in his basement Shang tsung and Raiden wouldn’t even exist - Yoshimitsu on the other hand is product of a long art process

>>12387112/thread
>>12387120I mean I was talking about other fighters in general be it MK, SF, FF, or even Namcos own SC. But you're delusional if you claim Tekken characters are more interesting. Tekken is by far the least lore having, characterization having, or story having fighting game of both the big three it's part of and even including third tier in popularity games like Bloody Roar, Rival Schools, Primal Rage, Killer Instinct, you name it it's got more thought out into character motivation and story than Tekken
>>12387156/thread
>>12387149>Thinks Tekken isn't an anime game Literally the only things casuals know about it is that three of the characters have Vegeta hair though one balding, and that there's a lot of Devilman references
>>12387156Delusional? Believing lore and amount of fluff has anything to do with being distinct and interesting is delusional.Nobody remembers the fact that scorpion hails from some village and wants revenge or that Sindel is queen of some bum fuck nowhere eternal realm - all they remember is that scorpion has a sick ass hook move that makes him scream “GET OVER HERE” and that Raiden goes “OLISADEBE GAYYYYY!” - same goes for tekken and other fighting games like street fighter, you have the cool roaring King that has wrestling moves, Eddie has capoeira, Law is Bruce Lee and Lei is Jackie chan and so on - they all have unique fighting styles and nationality- in my opinion the fighters in Tekken are more unique and better designed visually and made by real artists instead of the programmer art and palette swapping of MK (at least in the first games, but everything that followed is based on that)Nobody plays Soul Calibur, killer instinct or whatever else you namedSmash bros may not be a real fightan game but it’s also wacky and distinct enough to follow that criteria
>>12387165Literally said anime fighters because of tekken, like it's the only other franchise on the OP pic
I like both.
>>12387169Ahh so you're a zoomer. You probably like Limp Bizkit.That aside though people remember Scorpion because he's a hell ninja with a spear with a skull face that breathes fire. Tekken characters just don't have that level of individuality, normal people aren't like "woah the cappo guy is so unique from the kung fu guy", especially when they all don't really have unique costumes and kinda all look like a pastiche of something else. I hate Ryu (and main Ryu, I'm being objective not sentimental) but his basic karate gi and red headband are way more memorable than the second Vegeta lookalike who has Hot Topic pants and a tribal numetal tattoo with bangs to separate him from the previous Vegeta lookalike who had half of Ryus costume and Sagats scar
>>1238718990's kid here, I couldn't even tell Scorpio was supposed to be a ninja, both him and subzero were just fire and ice guy to me
>>12387189>Zoomer>Liking Limp BizkitWhat did you even mean by this?
>>12387120LMAO, what a fucking embarrassment the whole Tekken design team is, being BTFO by some frat boys with a pile of random scraps making cooler, more memorable and better designed characters. Yoshimitsu had ONE good costume in the entire franchise because they decided to turn him into "we have Voldo at home".
>>12387195In the 2020s zoomers became obsessed with y2k nostalgia
>>12387204I'm the guy that guy is arguing with but I will say this is the only good Yoshimitsu look
>>12387207That looks like a villain of the week from Winx Club
>>12387207i don't think he should be allowed to use a sword
>>12387205Think you’ve been reading too many internet shitposts because nobody is into Limp Bizkit again
>>12387265You're out of touch, they headline festivals again and countless YouTube videos and articles have been made about "woah Gen z bringing nu metal back!" along with 23 year olds walking around in jncos and Tripp pants
>>12387268I mean, based for them bringing back Y2K things. But yeah, you’re probably right
>>12387327NO
>>12387459>>12387327What's good about y2k
>mk namefag sperging again
>>12387015Heihachi would totally sodomize Shao Khan with his own hammer.
>>12387896>An old man who can't beat Akuma Meh
>>12387189Majority among normies in my time did not know how to do fatalities so I doubt many of them seen scorpion as skull guy, again - but other than that you prove me right - it’s the moves and looks that people remember, not some faggot lore> "woah the cappo guy is so unique from the kung fu guy"Something more along the lines of “woah the dancing nigga is different from Bruce Lee, giant robot with a mohawk, a literal bear/panda, leather jacket Guile, guy with head of a leopard, indian girl, fucking balding asian guy(I remember my neighbor being balding and having wings like that so kids called him Heihachi when Tekken craze hit), sexy girl, robot ninja with sword, wooden puppet, mad scientist” - dont know why you’re obsessed with one Vegeta comparison> they all don't really have unique costumesYou’d have to be retarded to think that, see above
>>12388112>>12388112>Majority among normies in my time did not know how to do fatalities so I doubt many of them seen scorpion as skull guy,Well idk I don't really care about people born in the 00s. The MK movie came smack dab in the middle of the 90s and it was very popular Tekken simply isn't as iconic, and part of that is that it gained real traction when the genre was dying anyway And really nobody who isn't into Tekken knows shit but maybe the Mishimas. I am a Tekken fan but it's just not that iconic. Not much is recognizable from it to the non fgc gamer which can't be said about SF or MK. Anna Williams is probably the hottest but she's ultimately just some pseudo realistic chick in real world fashion outfits. Just being realistic
>>12387165"Anime fighter" is a specific subgenre of fighting game. It's like Darkstalkers, Blazeblue, or Melty Blood style games, where you're zipping all over the screen and doing air combos constantly. It's just called 'anime' partially because 90% of the games that use that style look like anime and partially because matches look like those scenes in DBZ where characters are teleporting around at supersonic speeds while fighting.
>>12388147> Tekken simply isn't as iconicYou still didn’t really give a real argument for that beyond the muh zoomers boogeyman, the thing you said about characters being pastiches is ironically describing Mortal Kombat more, the franchise is now all about crossovers with characters from other movies which is testament to creative bankruptcyAll that butthurt about SC and boring fluff for faggots makes me believe you’re just salty about normies preferring Tekken and smash bros to MK
>>12387015Fighting game universes are cool if you suspend disbelief for a bit, but make no sense 99% of the time so it doesn't really matter who's strongerLike why do most of them don't use weapons?>b-but magic!Then use magic weaponsA lot of these games' character are fighting for really high stakes like control of a city or the world or universe, makes no sense that they go around punching each other instead of hiring snipers or dropping nukes.
>>12388395>>12388395>Like why do most of them don't use weapons?Because it's not part of their martial skill>Then use magic weaponsSome do like in mortal Kombat
Reminder to always laugh at these worthless Kevin Smith threads
>>12389784>Kevin Smith Kevin Smith I'm going insaaaaaane ahhhhNobody likes you shizotranny just stay out of fighting game threads since they trigger your meltdowns
>>12390652Hi Kevin
>>12388325Normies don't prefer Tekken to MK that's the thing. Even people who don't game go watch Mortal Kombat movies out of nostalgia, Tekken is only really well known to the fgc itself. It took over SFs spot as being the most normie fighter alongside MK in the late 90s and early 00s, but the genre was dying then, and since SF4 and MK9 reviving the genre, Tekken is number 3. Hell maybe even number 4 behind Injustice And I don't consider Smash a fighter, it's fighter adjacent but I don't really include it in the discussion (and yes I play the old games)

Showing the Reddit card already? With those weakass rebuttals, you shouldn't be here, plebs aren't welcomed.
death battle was a mistake
>>12387015>tekken - on or two guest characters during the games lifecycle>MK - hey guys we got robocop now please buy our game, hey guys we got omniman now please buy our game, hey guys we got some other franchise character now because our core game is shit so please buy our gameMK is literally Fortnite of fighting games, just matter of time before they put Iggy Azalea in it
its so funny watching people shit on characters for games they never played
>>12387015wronghttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u5XuNN4W2Xc
>>12390874MK is about as nostalgic as shit like Terminator and Alien. Tekken is not unless you're like me and actually played it and one of the ten people stateside who bought the anime in 1997 or whatever Most non gamers can't name a single Tekken character. They still sell Mortal Kombat costumes at grocery stores every Halloween
>>12387015Tekken really blew up around Tekken 3, which came out with the last boom of fighting game relevance as a top genre. FPS took it's spot as the mainstream "vs" genre soon as the next Gen and fighters took a back seat
Tekken characters can't jump high, dash fastly, or use long range attacks. In lore they're not weaker but in terms of being game characters they are
Power levels don't really mean much, even in each of their franchises. Like if Eddy can beat up Ogre, then sure, why couldn't he kick the shit out of Motaro? Stryker is basically just a regular dude in MK, and he too can beat up ancient demons
>>12391774I think it's more about this >>12391770Tekken characters don't seem powerful because it was more grounded in realism (comparatively speaking).
>>12391770>can't jump hightheir feet still go above head height, but they dont have aerial battles where you cant see the ground anymore like some games.>dash fastlyclearly you've never seen wavu-wavu. git gud.>use long range attackssome can, though it was usually a special circumstance character like angel/devil, but more have been added with later game entries.
Tekken has bears that can knock out a monster with flatulence
