Street Fighter VS Tekken

[snakeboy]

Tekken ftw

 

[ahmadka]

to me, Street Fighter is only good when playing with either Ken or Ryu ... but Tekken is good with any player

 

[devilscallmedad]

Tekken, a button masher? I wonder if you've actually played it yourself. Yes, Eddy can get away with button bashing. But not the other characters.

Eddy ? How about Howrang, the biggest button masher oriented character in the history of fighting games followed by Law. Eddy isn't even in the top 3 button mashers of tekken :lol: ( at number 3 would be Bryan fury ). And yeah i have played tekken a LOT its like NFS a dumb game that eveyone plays you can't escape it. I have beaten many a "Tekken pros" by button mashing and got beaten by my younger cousins who button mash even faster. I just gave you a recent exmaple deso a Tekken player got beaten by a guy playing for the first time, that would be impossiible to do in Street Fighter or Virtua Fighter.

 

[master bates]

[hotflame]

So tekken outnumbered street fighter

 

[reaper]

tekken is a clear winner ,, anyone who played both the games can see it clearly


some ppl say that tekken is a button smasher ,, i wont denie the fact ,, u can abuse a few characters if ur playin against nuubs,, but if u have even a little experience it wont bother u .


oh n i feel sorry for those who voted for street fighter

 

[Bad Mofo]

can't say i'm shocked by the results.

but personally, 3d fighters are mostly about button-mashing, like dcmd mentioned some posts up. in 2d fighters, you need a whole lotta skill.

sf4 isn't as balanced as i previously thought, hope capcom come up with a second version of the game soon. but i still think it's better than tekken.

 

[Roark]

Tekken's hardly a button masher, try button mashing against a decent player, see how far it gets you.

 

[bathunter08]

FoR me Its Tekken.....

 

[devilscallmedad]

lol at everyone "try button mashing against me" " Button mashing against a decent player won't work" they have no idea what they are talking about. Probably most of you are button mashers yourself, i am pretty sure most of you guys would put "howrang" "bryan fury" as your favorite tekken fighters I have heard this all before. SF, KOF, VF are all games where by learning the skills and combos you can easily beat people who just fight with kicks/punches, in Tekken ( and DOA lol ) its a fast array of kicks mixed with a few punches will always reign over the slow combos.


P.S People probably don't even know what button mashing means, its not closing your eyes and pushing all buttons as fast as you can. It refers to the skill of never learning the combos of a characters and just relying on simple kicks/punches and maybe a few easy throws/combos.

actually im shock with a comparison than the results.. lol sure Tekken is good but compare with SF, they are completely opposite in gameplay mechanics. I rather compare Tekken with Virtua Fighter and Soul Calibur. Street Fighter with King of Fighters.

You seem to have your definitions mixed up. I took the liberty of getting it for you.

Button Mashing :

Definition: This is referring to a basic instinct when in trouble, normally in a fighting style game, where you will hit random buttons on the controller in hopes that you pull off a special move or attack. This also happens quite often when someone is unfamiliar with the required buttons to press to perform an attack.

Also Known As: button smashing

Examples: In the more complex fighting games, button mashing will do very little good.

If you've ever played at arcades you'll find that button mashers are people who do not know special moves and combos or even proper commands and inputs and randomly keep pressing buttons in hopes of pulling something off. This is a noob tactic and alot of players do this. This isn't a skill contrary to what you believe.

In Tekken the biggest example of a button masher character is eddy gordo.
In MVC2, It was Wolverine.

You seem to know your definitios pretty well
I would have to decide which one is better when Tekken 6 comes out.

dude i got it off the internet from some gaming definitions website,

http://vgstrategies.about.com/od/strategyglossary/g/bottonmashing.htm

Hehe, i dont keep that stuff typed up on my pc.

 

[devilscallmedad]

That's why i gave my own definition of button mashing so there are no confusions to what i am referring to. Button mashing isn't in the dictionary so everyone has to go with their own interpretation. I am referring to the art of button mashing as in just pushing single buttons fast not looking to pull off a combo. I won't even give any arbitrary examples, here's a REAL example at the PG meet up

oye i m late...the meetup was my first and i really enjoyed it...most memorable moments r when Deso got his PS3 hooked up and thrusted a controller to me asking to play a Tekken5 match with him.i hve never played that game before EVER.i resisted but he didn't listen so i filled with the fear of major embarrassment, started to play with him and guess what.i went on straight defeating Deso and 2 more people until some dude beat me out

A guy touching the PS3 controller for the first time and playing tekken for the first time beats a regular decent player Desolator. That can never happen in Street Fighter. No offense to anyone but most of the people who voted Tekken would also pick NFS as their favorite racing game i.e an easy 'casual' game with very little depth.

Eddy is a good character to beat single player mode, Howrang/Bryan Fury are better when playing with other dudes. But i am sure everyone has their own favorite tekken button masher as there are so many in that game another one i remember is christie.

This is how i would say the two games are

Street Fighter- A game where you HAVE to learn combos and learn the small details about the character you want to master with. Throwing kicks won't win you matches in Street Fighter.

Tekken- An easy approachable fighting game for the masses, lacks in depth due to high damage and fast repeatability of simple kicks and punches which render learning the slow combos useless.

I just love tekken.... I can play with almost all players but Yoshimitsu is my favourite I just love his combos....

What you refer to is nothing other than beginner's luck, it happens in alot of games.

Street Fighter has depth but it's very simplistic it has limited moves and attacks. Tekken on the other hand has numerous attacks and Deso probably is a good player but not a pro level player. The best players are so good with stringing combos and juggles that you can pretty much forget hitting the floor before the end of the round. These players dominate games and with that it's one mistake that ends games.

Just because you got lucky in a game once isnt a valid reason to formulate assumptions about the game. As for your defination of button mashing that is invalid, it's not your understanding of the word. It's the majority understanding that matters.

You should try to play tekken and more so on a competitive level preferrably internationally. You'll see your wrong about what you believe.

Happens way too much in this particular game :wink2:. I'll leave this discussion now, hopefully we can mash together someday so i can show you the error of your ways.

 

[Roark]

But Ofcourse my friend.

@dcmd... creating your own definition/interpretation can lead to alot of misconceptions to the true thing haha And the word "bling" wasn't introduced in the dictionary until recently after its widespread use...but we all now what it meant..and button masher has no different meanings in the 'gaming dictionary'.

A first time player defeating a decent player in SF is just as probable as in Tekken. You refuse to believe it...and say it happens more often in this game, so maybe you've been playing against the wrong players all the time in Tekken. You can't even judge the technicality of the game until you've mastered atleast one character yourself.

Its all simple really, you can't say Hwoarang is a button smasher...you can call the person playing with it that. I can say that with confidence because I have seen professional Hwoarang players and you'll be pissing in your pants when you see how technical it can get. The difference is that with a button smasher, the state of play is random, and when you play against experienced players... you can track a pattern in their strategy. A buttom smasher can win against any level of player in any fighting game. I can bet on that. And Bryan Fury a button masher? God! Now ive read everything. I won't even take this discussion further after reading that.

SF is awesome in its own right...so is Tekken. But overall I prefer Tekken for alot of reason. And No...my favorite racing game is NOT NFS. Far from it. Depends if you wana play arcade racers or simulation based racers. For what its worth, NFS is good arcade style fun, but the driving mechanics are not in depth, and they offer other content which makes up for it. (depth in customization in a street racing game etc)
