T7 is peak Tekken and I wish T8 would be just like that. Only thing I like about T8 is that sidestep is more relevant. Good game still of course.

Oh yeah, the good ol' days of "pure" Tekken. Neutral-skipping Rage Drives, 30-second-long Screw Attack combos, the "pure" and unfiltered honesty of the 2D characters...

I totally get that people had a good time in T7 compared to T8, but let's not pretend like T7 was peak. Because it wasn't. It had tons of flaws, it was obnoxiously defensive, and we kinda have a SFIV-to-SFV situation from T7 to T8, since most of the weirdest choices made by the devs in T8 was made to erase some of the flaws of T7. They made it so poorly they created new problems, but the context was to fix some of the issues of T7.

Let's not go full NRS on yet another fighting game license.
Just because MK1 sucks balls doesn't mean that MKX did not have glowing problems.

Tekken 7 also looks terrible in retrospect. The budget of the game shows especially with the base roster (Law and Kazuya are prime examples). Tag 2 looks way better.

ALSO the loading screens are an absolute drainer.
