Alright lads, i’ve never played Tekken or Street Fighter in my life. I’ve only ever played Mortal Kombat, which is the better game?

Wrong fucking question. Come back when you're ready.
Daniel Price
play umvc3 or blazblue instead
Dominic Hill
street fighter because it has crossplay + patched rollback.
Connor Murphy
Street Fighter 5 is pure garbage, boring to play and boring to watch, and it was an abomination in the first few seasons.
Street Fighter 4 and Tekken 7 I think were the peak of both series but generally got worse with every season update.
Benjamin Watson
The obvious answer is tekken, but don't just blindly listen to people who say this. Street fighter V is definitely better for casuals, since it's extremely easy to get competent at without putting too much time into it. That being said, it gets really stale the more you play it, because there isn't much depth or stuff to learn about the game since it all revolves around shit like crush counters.
Tekken is definitely the better game if you intend to put in a shit-ton of time into it, but getting into it is gonna be like getting into cs 1.6. When you start, you're going to get absolutely bodied unless you've played tekken before since it's extremely easy to cheese low-level players. Plus smurfing is extremely easy to do since rank is saved locally (I do this a bit for fun especially during sales). You have to be willing to lose a lot when you start and learn from it, eventually you will get decent and the game will start getting more enjoyable than sfv, because it has way more depth and neutral, and it's more balanced (though season 3 really took a turn for the worst in terms of balance compared to S2).

Thank you for this write up user. There are good people on Zig Forums sometimes.
Evan King
anytime my man
Also anakin, who is pretty much the best tekken player from the usa and consistently places top 8 at international tournaments, recently started a youtube channel. Probably some of the best tekken content for pretty much any english-speaking tekken player, including beginners
Nathan Hernandez
I think you'd get worked in SF and you'd be overwhelmed in T7. Flip a coin, I guess.
Eli James
T7 at launch was decidedly better than SFV at launch.
But Tekken's kind of screwed the pooch with S3, whereas SFV's improved.
The correct answer is neither, Samsho is better than SFV and SC6 is better than T7
Robert Robinson
tekken
he'll get to the boomer shit later
Kevin Watson
competent at, maybe, but Tekken is easier to enjoy immediately imo. you still have to lab the how-to-play for SFV no matter how much they dumb it down.
Luke Murphy
>get worked in SF
Not op, but that wasn't my experience at all. In Tekken, it took me about 400 hours to get to around genbu, and at more than 1000 hours I'm near upper blue ranks. Learning matchups was incredibly difficult since there's so many of them and not knowing a matchup can mean losing a match. When I first started, I must have had like a 10 percent winrate.
In SFV, I have like 80 hours and I'm silver, which I think used to at least be like top 20% of players lmfao. Main bison and literally everyone in bronze and rookie plays shotos. It was incredibly easy to rank up after learning like 4 matchups (ken, ryu, akuma, and kage), which takes barely any time. Literally anyone who knows how to air-to-air, anti-air, and crush counter dp's can get to silver in no time at all.
Brandon Cox
Tekken is easier to get into because strings are pretty easy to grasp and you've already played mk. I've found getting casuals into SF is way harder than getting them into Tekken.
Evan Reed
agree with this. any non FG anons tale this to heart
>you have to be willing to lose a lot when you start and learn from it
this goes for any fightan and its good advice. also good practice which actually helps you irl too
Leo Mitchell
>Street fighter V is definitely better for casuals
tekken is LITERALLY a button masher
people play street fighter and don't know what the fuck they're doing, people pick up tekken and can mash buttons and deal damage and do combos because it's designed that way
Eli Russell
Silver is dogshit, man.
Owen Barnes
>Tekken is easier to enjoy immediately imo
None of my normie friends like tekken at all, but will play sfv or smash with me. They all complain that it's sluggish because they can't korean backdash and that it has too many moves. In SFV, if they don't know how to play, which some of them already know some basic shit like dp, hado, and tatsu, I just teach them how to flash kick and sonic boom with guile, and they seem to have a better time since they're not just mashing. It's too hard to teach them how to play anyone in tekken at a super surface level.
Jordan Lewis
tekken is unsatisfying as fuck, I feel like people only like it because they can occasionally coinflip people out for wins since damage is so goddamn high that you can kill someone in two guesses. street fighter has way more tact required.
Jaxon Anderson
i also love to mash buttons and have my ADHD riddled mind flooded with colours and loud sounds as reward for spamming my labbed mixups and combos, because I can't win in an actually gopd fighting game that also requires defensive skill.
I do like UMVC3 but it and Blazblue plus all the other games in this group are made for retards or to have dumb fun
Ryan Phillips
>Silver is dogshit, man
Yeah, so is genbu in tekken. My point wasn't that I'm good at SFV, in fact I'm not at all since I don't play it seriously. My point was that as far as I know, they are about the same skill bracket for their respective games, and that it took me 400 hours to get there in tekken but only 80 for sfv.
I have like 1000 hours in tekken and I'm still not tgp, I'm only around yaksa. Game is definitely really fucking hard compared to sfv.
Henry Rivera
Silver in SF is like, yellow in Tekken
Josiah Baker
characters do way more damage in tekken and health is lower, but you have to remember that it's first to 3 rounds as opposed to first to 2, so losing one round or 2 isn't as big of a deal
Camden Jones
completely different experience. pick up SF2 and play for an hour, then tekken 3 for an hour then come back here and make your shitty troll thread with either
>what the fuck was his problem?
with a picture of heihachi
>M. Bison did nothing wrong
>was he eternally based?
Aaron Nguyen
just makes the game feel more random to me IMO
>get frametrapped once
>explode
Hunter Peterson
>yellow in Tekken
Alright well maybe I'm out of the loop as far as tiers go but if yellow is top 20% of tekken players, maybe ranking up in tekken isn't as hard as I thought lmao. Players in yellow are fucking awful lol
Jose Perry
how long is Tekken 7 going to last? as in, when is Tekken 8 coming out and will there still be people playing 7 when 8 comes out?
Joshua Moore
This is kind of a bad example since only a couple characters can deal that much damage at the wall, namely paul with rage and akuma / geese with meter. Before season 3, most games involved at least 2 neutral interactions before someone died, though season 3 has buffed the shit out of everyone's damage and wall carry so some rounds only take 1.
Jordan Roberts
strings and combos in general are probably the least important part of a fighting game, except maybe dumb anime games.
Casuals are easier to get to play Tekken, not to get into Tekken. Because it looks less stylised and more "realistic" and isn't 2D which is "old" according to fags. Also on a level playing field where no one in the room knows how to fightan, both players and spectators can have fun, because everyone can just mash and something cool will happen sooner or later. This won't work in SF.
Tekken has deeper and much harder to learn mechanics and even fundamentals than SF. There's also more matchup importance and the high amount of legacy knowledge to catch up on.
tl;dr SFV seems more mechanical and is less flashy, but Tekken is harder to even get the basics down proper
Brody Gonzalez
It's impossible to say, fighting games are lasting longer these days due to longer console generations and the season pass model. That being said T7 is gettting pretty overstuffed at this point and people are also getting sick of some of its core issues, I honestly wouldn't be surprised to see a T8 teaser next year and a 2022 release on next-gen?
>will there still be people playing 7 when 8 comes out?
No, every Tekken game gets dropped like a sack of potatoes when the new game comes out. They're all fairly similar, it's not like SF or Guilty Gear which re-invents the wheel each time
Luke Stewart
>tekken = casual button-masher
This autist ruins every fucking tekken thread. I can only imagine how BTFO'd this guy got in tekken to make him this asshurt for this long.
Caleb Jackson
Connor Harris
stop pushing buttons. play with your head more instead of your impulses.
Chase Cook
Reminder that korean backdashing is easy as fuck if you're playing on a keyboard.

>marduk with rage
another niche example, and it also means that his opponent either doesn't know how to deal with mount or got mixed up since the tackle throw follow-up is never guaranteed
Gavin Russell
T7 is a superior game that has been crippled with bloat. The core mechanics of the game are great.
when you're in noob tiers, yes
Ryder Mitchell
just took a fat tekken
Parker Perez
I used to think this and didn't even know how Tekken actually works. Was a die hard 2D player, except for SC, and for some reason thought it was a flashy buttonmasher for casuals.
I then got into T7 because I hated SFV so much and oh boy, was I in for a reconstruction of my worldview
Justin Lee
>The core mechanics of the game are great.
The core mechanics of the game are rotten and need to be re-examined and stop working off a 23 year old base. So many things in the game don't work properly and people just go "LOL HARADA'S FINGER!!!"
Oliver Hill
what do you mean?
Jason Lopez
please explain
Xavier Hall
don't give this guy attention, he's some tekken-hating autist that constantly infests these threads
Yeah tekken has the most depth of any fighting game I've ever played. I like it the most because defense is so strong and there are multiple ways to deal with anything your opponent does, meaning that it never really becomes an unga fest if your good enough and the neutral game is really vibrant.
