#// even she's criticized HASDHASDHASHA

Buff G gets it... he actually fucking gets it. Which I don't mean that as an insult but the thing is that many TK "influencers" just make the same argument of "duhhh tek's ALWAYS been fantasy. How does he NOT fit in?" or "so what if he doesn't fit in? He's a DLC". So it actually makes me happy to see Buff G saying practically the same thing I was saying!

Like that's something people gotta realize. Tek has had bears but... they didn't fight with magic nor were they flying all over the place -- the bears still used a relatively realistic fighting style. Even Mokujin, who was a wooden boy, still only used the other characters' fighting styles -- so he was mostly fighting normally, too.

ESPECIALLY when you look back at the first 4 games, the roster and gameplay was much more grounded than it is now. I used to say that outta all the popular ones, Tek was the most grounded fighting game. MK had fantasy and supernatural elements, most characters had powers or projectiles of some kind. SF had Ryu, a seemingly regular martial artist, shooting "fire balls" out of his hands -- again, many characters with projectiles or powers. Tek felt like the one game where most of its cast primarily focused on regular, more realistic fighting styles. No magic, no teleporting, no complete fantasy -- save for only a few special characters.

But now the roster feels like it's been saturated with fantasy like everything else.
