Talk:Street Fighter VS Tekken/@comment-5035900-20160928082723

I had a feeling this would become a page some day and I've taken a long and careful look at both series'...

To which as much as I LOVE Tekken, I see this one going to Street Fighter. Here are my reasons:

When you look at Street Fighters cast, you see a lot of characters who either don't get very far in the World Warrior tournament or don't perform particularly well against the main heroes... but even then, they often still have some feats. Take, for example, Dee Jay, who still has enough strength and skill to take down a Shadaloo cyborg (an animated movie feat, but even still, not bad for essentially a background character).

Meanwhile, if you take a look at Tekken's, a majority of the cast really don't have much feats at all aside from just being skilled martial artists who come back to the King of Iron Fist Tournament year after year. Just to take a handful, Steve Fox, Marduk, and Christie Monteiro, none have any real feats other than, like I said, still coming back to the tournament for more.

Now that isn't to say the Mishima's are the only characters that have feats... but Raven, Paul Phoenix, Hwoarang, King, Asuka, and Nina are some of the only ones I can name. Everyone else either returns to be a consistent contestant or to end up defeated by someone else... and even then, just about every tournament goes to the Mishima's, who are the focus and who shape the Tekken verse.

Street Fighter does focus around Ryu... but also Ken, Chun-Li, Alex and others, and even those who aren't the main characters still offer greater contributions and shape the Street Fighter verse more-so than the Tekken verse. For me, that shows the Street Fighter cast performs and accomplishes far more than the Mishima's can alone.

And even when taking into account the Devil forms, Ogre, Jinpachi, and Azazel, all of whom talk a big game which seems to imply ultimate power of sorts, Street Fighter's more powerful heroes and villains do have feats to back them up (ex. M. Bison possessing others, Akuma destroying souls, Gill's ability of ressurrection).

To which I see it going as such: the majority of Tekken goes down first, the characters with feats including the Mishima's begin to even the odds, but in the end, Street Fighter's biggest hitters simply hit harder than any of Tekken's hitters could ever hope to. A good fight nontheless, but one that ultimately goes to the father of the fighting game genre.
