#we're still a noob but We Get It and it actually feels satisfying omg

As someone who's always preferred beat em ups to fighting games, we never thought we'd become so infatuated with one. But with Tekken we think we finally see at least a bit of the appeal. It makes sense to us in ways that most fighting games do not. There's not that disconnect between the inputs and the outcome where it feels like the moves and the needed inputs don't have any real connecting tissue other than the fact you have to know one to get the move to play.

But with Tekken you press the left punch button as anyone and they'll all do a left punch. How the pucnch differs is based on the characters' fighting style and the stance they're in. Like how Dragunov has his sneak stance and if you want Lee to do a backflip you actually press the movement buttons in the motion they would make in-game. It's great. We actually get it.
