RTS and fightan are the only game genres left that are 100% skill-to-win. No RNG, no luck, no nothing. And RTS already died. Fighting (Tekken, let's be real) is living only from its hype. Street Fighter is good and boring to watch for most people, whereas every landed hit in Tekken is a juggling spectacle. Tekken is football, SF is soccer. One is non-stop fun, the other is "good if you understand the mechanics".

FGC is in a weird spot. It's like speedrunning before it became a woke trannyfest; people love seeing it, imagining themselves doing it, but then they sit down and realize "oh, this is some autistic 12-year-or-bust undertaking that just happened to put a spotlight on afghan autists who had nothing else to play but Tekken". It's like when Redbull did Age of Empires, bringing out 50-year old dudes who never played anything else, suddenly making them rockstars.

Except SF6 and T8 are pretty modern and accessible, which is good, but nonetheless the medium is out of the 00s. You have to practice for ages to land a single combo, and you see a MMR go up and down, punishing you for trying. You need to accept so many things like "youll never have a cheap win" or "youll never get lucky" which is very viable in battle royales and such. You have to lab for 3 hours before having a shot at anything. And very few people find that appealing. Then there's the added layer of "brah you need a $200 stick with one of these two gates or a leverless or a pad or-" only to realize you're not enjoying this $80 game.

Which is what makes it appealing. One of few gatekept bastions left, rewarding those who stick with it.

Accessibility =/= good. Look at Duty Fighter V when Crapcom pandered to the FGC, normies, and sjws. Look how Strive went to shit after it pandered to trannies, pedos, and faggots. Soul Calibur used to have a reputation before it went to shit with SC3 (it never recovered after 3). Blackrock Fighter 6 is already getting flak for the modern control scheme being used at Evo even though it made shitty characters like Ryu more playable. Woke Kombat 1 is dying for so many reasons.

Someone never played a fighter where a top-tier had major advantages over everybody else like Sophitia and Xianghua in SC3, or Bob and Leroy in their respective games (Bob in 6, Leroy in 7). Hell, go look at NRS tourneys where SonicFox and Perfect Legend abused and exploited top-tiers to a point nobody cared about tournaments. You're not wrong when it comes to a match like Bob vs. Bob or Mishima vs. Mishima in Tekken 6 because that's all about who was the better Bob, but if it was something like Zafina vs. Bob, Bob is gonna draw circles around her (She was trash in 6). Rock didn't even have a prayer in SC3. A game with a shitty balance like HnK are full of cheap/lucky wins if you land the first infinite in the round. VF5: FS is the only one where a "bottom-tier" can give Akira some trouble if you know what to do (Akira was in his own tier at the end of VF5).

At least the PS controllers were good for older Tekkens (I don't know if 7 and 8 changed their button layouts with all the new gimmicks like finishers and heat). I remember when people told you to get a stick if you wanted to use C. Viper in SF4 until Wolfkrone or some other guy won a few tourneys with a pad. But yea, that layer is around for a lot of fighting games especially the anime ones.

It only rewards like 1% of the people in the community (mostly SoCal and Asian countries). For every Diago who built his legacy, you have questionable legacies like Wong and Maximiliandood; and then you have the DSPs who go nowhere in the FGC.

Unfortunately, the gatekeeping got corrupted with gatekeepers drinking the woke kool-aid to protect themselves, or had the wrong people gate keeping figthing games. 3D fighters never grew because tourney fags hogged frame data for themselves, so they never risked their money for weed. Then you had elitists in the KoF scene who told any new player to go fuck themselves (this also happened back in MvC2, Third Strike, and CvS2's heydays). If you're not in the Tekken clique don't bother trying to be competitive even if you git gud, and we all know if you don't support trannies fucking kids the GG community blacklists you like wrestling smarks at an Aew show.
 
I don’t mind Reina, but honestly the anime bullshit is fine to me. I don’t care if the story is shonen vomit, the gameplay seems fine and Fighting games have niggers as their main target audience in the West. They’ll nickel and dime people because they know a nigger will buy skins.
 
also give him some three striped adidas clothing for the ultimate tripalowski experience

I watched the Fight between Jin and Kazuya and yes it is peek anime, gives me JoJo Part 2 Joseph vs Kars final fight vibes.

It reminds me why I couldn't ever get into anime shit barring a few things even when I was a teenager. All those flashbacks and monologues was just so fucking retarded.

It's like they don't trust their audience to watch/play their show/game. I get it's 50001203991230 episodes with 2 fillers/TAG but damn dude.

I will always eternally love women that can kick my ass. But the shonen bullshit is grating. I'm here to see people throw their children into a cliff/volcano and EWGF juggle and eat hot chip and lie.
 
First Tekken for me, more at home with SF6 and GGST, but this is interesting. Have no idea what is going on, but it's fun to learn a new fighting game. Playing Jack-8 and stuck in yellow hell.

Tfw you will get stomped by a first timer as a teal nigger.
 
I'm ok with Reina, she's a little more traditional Taido than Heihachi, but her stance is more aggressive. shame that Muay Thai guys are currently missing. Josie's Yaw Yan resembles too much like Muay Thai and shes gone too.

not a fan of statues so if I have to take a Tekken 8 toy, it would be the Figuarts

not a fan of 1/12 so I'm waiting for the eventual 1/6, specially the girls. and hopefully the head sculpts and the seamless body are better this time, cause the old ones look too derpy

Well, I would think yellow rank is hardly an accomplishment, especially for someone new to the franchise. But the moment I reached it, I am getting knowledge checked every second. Win one game, loose a couple, repeat ad nauseam.
