What's your opinion of the Tekken series?

I started with Tekken 3 and I haven't really played 1 and 2 at all. I remember playing Team Battle with my mum throughout the night. I miss those nights. And even though we moved on to Soul Calibur, Tekken 3 was still dusted off. Then the PS2 came with both Tekken Tag and Soul Calibur 2.

I love Tekken. I prefer Soul Calibur over it. But I love Tekken, even if some of the newbies in 4 through 6 really dont appeal.

Love TTT2. It just feels so good to play really. Definitely an improvement over 6 which was completely disappointing in terms of visuals at least even if the gameplay was mostly unchanged from 5 iirc.
 
I have to thank Tekken because it's a FG that's actually cool, but I prefer SC series since it's more of my style. Sure I grew up on that along with other FGs like Street Fighter, but I'm not as crazy for Tekken as I am to SC series. At best, I'd want to main my favorite characters at "better than average scrub yet able to hang with the pros" level. However, I'm lazy as I only care about maining Yoshimitsu and Asuka Kazama mostly. Otherwise, the aesthetic stuff is always nice to unwind to like some casual fashion freak....just not as good as SC series.

As a primary 3D fighting gamer, Tekken used to be my #1 series. But after Tekken 4, my favorite in the series, I kind of lost interest in the series. Then Tekken 6 came with the bound mechanic and that's when I started to despise the series. Don't get me wrong, I will still play Tekken, but I don't enjoy it like I used to. I have found that I love playing DOA5U more because it's easier to pick up, but it still has that hard to master thing going on. Not to mention, I feel the game looks better, moves faster, and is just as a whole more fun to play and look at. One thing I do like about Tekken Tag 2 is the Tag Assault combos, but that's about it. Tekken feels a lot slower, which is something I don't really like. I know most 3D fighters are slower, but DOA5U and even Soulcalibur V feels much faster than Tekken.

it seems like there are to many moves and most of the moves are too similar. I'm just a casual player, but I think fewer move would make it easier to get better at using different characters. Back when there were fewer moves, I used to feel like routinely practicing a character's entire move set.
