Tiamit hasn't updated the canon guide for ages now, so the tier list would obviously not make sense in alot of cases, and I actually agree with you on Gen's placing...however why the comment of SF Sucks...???
cuz it makes stupid plots, is overrated, gets credit for inventing things it didn't and is generally gotten stale since SuperSF2. yeah, we get it...hadouken, tatsumakisenpukyaku and shoryuken....now can we please get new moves already. heck they don't even have alternate outfits since SF1.
as opposed to 2 (at times 3) outfits, great music, newer moves, changed gameplay mechanics for every game, upgrades to moves, coolass intros since Tekken2 and side games like beat 'em ups or tekken ball or tekken bowling, as well as being the first proper fighting game that offered us an option of changing our fighter's appearance and the first game to give survival mode (IIRC), has realistic depiction of fighting styles, allows reversals, parries and sidesteps, camera scrolling, great combo system, responsive battle arenas and award winning CG movies as endings.
SF is got a lot of catching up to do. heck, it didn't even have parries till SF3. the only thing that SF does that Tekken hasn't is taunting...and that's not even a feature that SF invented. the only time SF actually offered us something new was the parry system in SF3. till SF3, every SF from SSF2t has been repititive and stale.
The Street Fighter gaming series takes more balls to play then even your beloved Tekken (which you seem to praise so much all the time)
i like tekken. never stopped anyone from like SF either.
as far as balls go, mastering a game with a character having 3 regular moves (SF)<<<<<<mastering a game with a character having more than 60 moves.
heck, the most advanced command that you ever have to input in SF is (jab, jab, forward, short, punch)...as opposed to the complex button pressing you need to do for any chain throw or chain attack.
on top of that, the combo system for SF has always been shite except in SF3. but worse than anything is the fact that it has the most rehashing ever done in gaming history. ryu, ken, akuma, sakura, dan, alan, sean, kairi all do the same moves....and only have like three moves in total, two of which are rehashes.
i like tekken. if they make a bad tekken tomorrow i'll be the first to say it.....especially given the fact that i actually have made "why tekken4 threads" in the board i used to be on before KMC.
a game which hasn't been good since Tekken 3/Tag/4 days because the T5 series and Tekken 6 are complete trash.
that's your opinion and you're entitled to it. the fact that Tekken is the highest selling fighting game franchise of all time despite being new and only releasing 6 installments (Tekken6 wasn't out then) as opposed to the gazillion SF's out there says otherwise. Tekken5 got above 9 in all its reviews. that alone should tell ya otherwise.
Not to mention the storyline of SF is actually far more interesting
the tekken story line stinks from Tekken4 onwards. with you on that one.
then what we are seeing in Tekken...for crying out loud, Mishima's win every single Tekken tournament , and in Tekken 6, it's Tekken 2 storyline all over again.
ryu won SF1 via cheapsot, no one knows who won SF2 or if the final even took place given that akuma came outta nowhere and SGS'd the antagonist, and Alex won SF3 when the host let him. that's your idea of a good story? don't get me started on the retcons, the horrible mess of bad writing combined with writers on crack that was SFA3 and absolute pisspoor juggling of translation between Capcom of USA and Capcom of Japan.
SF stinks storywise as much as Tekken.
Street Fighter, has had a new character winning it every tournament
true. but look how they won it.
and ever noticed how SF1 it was Sagat, Alpha-SF2 was Bison, and now it's Gill...it's actually changing it's focuses to different antagonist
you're point? tekken1 (hachi), tekken2 (kazuya/devil), tekken3 (ogre), tekken 4 (hachi), tekken 5 (jinpachi), tekken6 (azazel). Sagat only worked for Bison in the next game so its not really changing focus. the mishima's win the tourny everytime is probably the only drawback to it...but then, that's the idea of a "central" character. on top of that, 2 out of the 6 games were actually not based on the hero of the series but his predecessor. something we see in Metal Gear Solid series too.
making it far more intriguing to learn about.
nah. in fact, the moment i took the printout of Tiamat's guide and read it.......i nearly puked.
Gen never beat Gouki, Gouki was superior in their fight, and spared Gen when he learned of his illness.
talking about SFA3, mane.
