Tekken Vs Street Fighter Which is Better

Characters OK I will start by talking about the characters, i feel in my opinion the characters in Tekken are better than in street fighter, in terms of their fighting styles and just in general i believe their alot cooler. Admittedly Ryu and Ken are more memorable than any character in Tekken, however not only does Tekken boast a far larger character roster than Street Fighter, but unlike with street fighter and even mortal kombat, Tekken doesn't have a multitude of characters that are almost identical, for example Ryu, Ken and Dan have almost the exact same move set, and also in my opinion street fighter characters are alot less interesting and are mostly bland fighters with very little backstory. Also in Tekken all characters are very unique in terms of their fighting style as well as there story's which in my opinion is why Tekken has the superior characters Story Like i mentioned above i believe in terms of their characters, back stories as well as how the games story as a whole connects all the characters together alot better than with street fighter, while also having its funny moments to go along with its more serious moments, for example in tekken 5 when heihachi ties kazuya, jin and his father to a rocket and blasts them to space was very funny in my opinion, but it also has its more serious moments like kuzuyas revenge in tekken 1, or when kazuya gets thrown into the volcano in tekken 3, in street fighter alot of the story is repeated, such as Ryu's quest to become the greatest fighter in the world, Sagats quest to beat ryu, it shows a lack of creativity IMO for the story of street fighter. Gameplay Finally I will be talking about the most important part of any fighting game which is the gameplay. Now Tekken and Street Fighter are very different in this aspect, with street Fighter is a 2d fighter relying on the analogue stick to use special moves, while Tekken is a 3d fighter which relys on certain button combinations in order to do a certain move, similar to another PS1 game WWF Attitude. I feel that in terms of gameplay Tekken triumphs over street fighter, and here's why. While i have no problem with 2d fighters, there is more options and more freedom with your actions with a 3D fighting game, for example if jin comes at you and attacks do you attempt to block it or do you side step and counter attack. Another issue i have with the gameplay in street fighter is the blocking, with Tekken to block you don't press anything to block high attacks, and you hold the down button on the d pad to block low attacks, which is quite simple, however with Street Fighter you have to hold back, which is one of the more annoying things in a fighting game, not because it is hard to do, but its just over completed and it slows the game down. Also with Tekken its what i like to call easy to learn hard to master. This is because to do a simple move you would press one single button, then you would get more advanced moves which would require the use of 2 or 3 buttons, and then there's the ultimate test of skill for a Tekken player, which is the ability to hit the ten hit combos, which are extremely difficult and take alot of practice to get right. With Street fighter the fighters don't have as large a move set and with most characters they would have 3 special moves as well as a hyper combo, compared to the tens of different combos each fighter has in tekken. So in conclusion i feel Tekken is better than street fighter, because of better characters, a larger more detailed story and better gameplay
