The Good-Ass Game That Reclaimed Its Throne: The Story of Tekken

  • เผยแพร่เมื่อ 6 ธ.ค. 2019
  • For the longest time, Tekken was fighting games’ best kept secret.
    For years, it lived in the shadows of more popular fighting games. More known fighting games. More competitive fighting games.
    But when the other games fell flat, Tekken finally got its shot. Its chance to prove that none of that was true. That Tekken could be the biggest, best and most exciting fighting game on the planet.
    And this is its story.

    I've said it once, I'll say it again, and I'll always say it: Fighting games are the best esports because you can never not get hyped from seeing a sickass combo. It doesn't matter how complicated or execution heavy it is, if it looks sick and that health bar is shrinking with each punch or kick, you get hyped.
    And no other fighting game has captured that spirit as well as Tekken has with Tekken 7. FGOTC in my heart

      @@Lalo3g1 to start of, I'm supreme in CSGO and around 6k hours in the game, and I've competed in locals so those are my credentials in CSGO. And theres so many small details that most casual viewers will not catch. KennyS getting an AWP ace on inferno looks sick as shit to everyone, but noticing how GeT_RiGhT (F) is always being so calm and strategic in his lurking and astralis grenade usage and fnatics pocket strats you see them perform flawlessly every time they play overpass takes so much more knowledge of the game to truly appreciate the high level of play. Fighting games it kinda depends, but it's like most tournaments I watch its slow paced enough for the commentators to explain everything so meticulously and precise so you too as a casual can appreciate how well these guys are playing, but the commentators are sooooo much more emotional and invested in the match than most other esports and they just spew hype over you and you get so hooked. Bottom line: imo shooters have more fine details than fighting games that you need to be experienced to notice and fighting games have S tier casters

    As someone who got into Virtua Fighter during its peak, I'd be interested to see exactly when (and why) tekken overtook that series. VF is now dead and Tekken is stronger than ever. VF had some very cool mechanics and a lot of depth, but I suspect what it lacked was a sense of flashiness and style. One game featured a generic Chinese guy, and the other had Bruce Lee punching the opponent in the nutsack.

    TBH Tekken has always been a popular game. Its rise in competitive FGC popularity is really complication and a mix of things. I think a lot of the player base wasnt aware of the scene compared to the capcom games or less willing to go out and compete in the game. Tekken 7 is a great game and people enjoy it a enough to go out and compete, Also international travel and world tour has helped it grow as well which was less common back in the early 2000. SFV's rocky launch and the disaster launch of MvCI also likely helped a lot too. Im a SF player who started with Tekken (Tekken 5 and DR being the ones I enjoyed the most) so its cool to see it grow even though I dont play Tekken 7 myself often.
