Arcade stick always sounded to me like survivor bias. Like if you're autistic enough to become master level in a game, you're autistic enough to imagine there is a difference between types of input.
When it comes to MK1 I think Netherrealm just got way too greedy on the rehash wheel. They had a really good system switching from Injustice to MK. When it comes to MK1 really it just seems so close to MK11 but with way less characters, also that whole assist gimmick is a major turnoff for me. If I were Ed Boon (or whoever really controls NRS because Boon has to be pretty old now) I would be daring and make a new 3D Fighting game. The 6th Gen Mortal Kombats weren't masterpieces by any means but they were fun stupid games, I'd love to see what they could do now that they have budgets and designers who know fighting games pretty well.

Same here, but the roles are reversed.
If the leaks are anything to go by they are doing the same thing they did with SFV and making two more versions of 6 including an Ultra version, which will more than likely be the "good/final" version.
Speaking about big updates I can't comprehend why SFVI and Tekken 8 can't include Tag Team modes in later updates. No I do not expect a full new rebalanced game to suit such a mode. All you need is to add a tag button. Mortal Kombat 9 did it, and it was just fun!
Well, there is still Akuma.....but other than that, I agree with you.
They gotta save that for Tekken Tag Tournament 3 which, with the way the series has been going with 7, has the potential to be the most casualized game with the most kikish, greedy and moneygrubbing DLC and MTX schemes known to man.
I was so hyped for Tekken Tag 2 and then it arrived during one of the busiest periods in my life and then when I saw it again it seemed everyone hated it.
Gameplay-wise it was very good and technical, the fanservice was also great, but it was also fucking brutal to learn. There were just too many characters that you didn't just need to learn how to play against but if you didn't play a team that everyone and their mother played you were boned, doubly so if it was two obscure characters, you were quite literally on your own and had to find out tag combos for yourself. It also sold like complete shit which is why it almost killed the series.
On that note it really is fascinating how the normal audience disappeared and returned to Tekken.
Bro, the disc-locked content got leaked weeks ago. Harada went out of his way to hide the leaks:
Basically what Schlub said. It was one of the most bloated Tekken games, and this has been a problem with the series. The funniest thing is its problems carried onto 7 and 8, and both of those games added more problems to the series. 7 tried to cut down the roster, but the arcade roster, on top of the game itself, was garbage.I was so hyped for Tekken Tag 2 and then it arrived during one of the busiest periods in my life and then when I saw it again it seemed everyone hated it.
It's more masher/casual friendly like Blackrock Fighter 6, but you still have to put some effort into it. Yoshi was considered one of the hardest characters to use in the series, yet more people are using him now (DSP used him before he raged quit Tekken 8 ) .
Aw damn, I feel you on that.I was so hyped for Tekken Tag 2 and then it arrived during one of the busiest periods in my life and then when I saw it again it seemed everyone hated it.
I guess I am just a nostalgia fag to the max because I didn't mind the massive roster. Yeah, it felt like bloat but at the same time, it was a giant ass fanservice game. As someone who started with Tekken 3, it was a nice feeling seeing Tiger and Forest Law back.
I say we harass Harada on Twitter if Tiger Jackson isn't a premade costume or easily assembled in the customization.
Akuma (Gouki, as I always call him) looks fucking sick, though. His trailer is making me tempted to get the game now. And I haven't played a Street Fighter game since Super IV. Though, sometimes, I would play Street Fighter Alpha 3 MAX on the PSP.
You certainly are not talking about modern fighting games.
7 felt so bloated despite its drastically cut down roster because they added too much convoluted and redundant bullshit that doesn't really add anything concrete to the game's actual complexity. On one hand you have rage arts, rage supers, rage sharts, Jin's volcel rage, every character has a shit ton of moves but most of them are worthless and at best some strings and moves are just used as fillers for juggles. On the other it got massively casualized by nerfing defensive options. 7 nerfed the movement to shit thanks to Kike Murray's 20IQ "why sidestep when you can block?" approach to gameplay which is why it became the first Tekken game where you can legitimately flowchart to high ranks without too much problem. Speaking of balancing, it was atrocious and the way they buffed and nerfed characters often just boiled down to "in this patch they have more/less juggle damage". Kazuya's neutral options are shit and Kazuya players have been crying about that fact for months? Gochu fam. We buffed him by making it so that this juggle filler string floats your opponent slightly higher so now you can squeeze this other juggle filler string in for 12 extra juggle damage. Enjoy juggles, child.
It was a nightmare competitively, casually I didn't mind it. It's a shame it almost killed the series and how hated it was given how much of a love letter to the series it was, but I understand the faults people had with it.
Except Chloe and Josie were legit shitty characters, Chloe being the worst. Josie contributed...nothing to the story. Harada said Chloe would play an important role or some shit in Tekken 7, and all she did was emasculate Eddy. She was a middle finger to people who didn't kiss Harada's ass. All of the new characters from Tekken 7 sucked including Leroy. Lars got flak for being the most illogical "Mishima" that's probably Mike Murray's self-insertion.
They're not allegations. Dale (aka LTG) is well known for rage quitting in every fighting game he plays, and he plugs every time he loses. Dale was one of the first guys to get banned, and his excuse was "I was in character" (He's always been an asshole and a sociopath). He openly admitted to having multiple accounts when Bamco goes after pluggers. This isn't Dale's first time making alternate accounts because he did this in SF4.
And don't forget about Leroy, and his antics.
