3 huge fighting games all came out pretty close to each other and all 3 are good (IMO). Which did you like best if you played all 3? I like all 3 quite a bit for different reasons.

SF6: shits all over SFV. Interesting single player modes. I grinded the hell out of this to get Marisa’s secodary costume. Great netcode. Great roster. I was worried when Ono left that this would be a mess but it’s excellent and feels very different from previous entries but still familiar. Nice graphics but the weakest of the 3 in that department IMO.

MK1: Very nice looking and fun to play. Lots of customization. I tapped out on the story mode after a while but it was definitely well done. Netcode is questionable and it takes forever to get a fight going. Very weird juxtaposition between the Marvel movie style story mode and the over the top violence of the game itself. I love the roster and the cameo system is a cool way to throw in random characters without taking forever to balance the roster. Great graphics and production value. DDTing a guy’s head off with Reiko is maybe the most satisfying way to end a match in any fighting game ever.

Tekken 8: My personal pick for sure. Amazing looking game. Great roster. Great stages with lots more interaction and ways to extend combos. Heat system is dope once I got used to it. Great OST. Didn’t play the single player but people like it. Good netcode but not as great as SF6’s.

Whats the verdict, GAF?

 

[Darkmakaimura]

Moron Kombat.

Moron Kombat.

OP had one job...

 

[Pelao]

I enjoyed all three and have always been a fan of all three franchises, but in this case Tekken takes the lead for me. The game simply feels superb to play.

 

[Pejo]

Despite some issues I have with Granblue Fantasy Versus Rising, I still think it's the best whole experience. Great single player components, a fun side mode, diverse moveset for the roster, easy to pick up but high ceiling. Online seems to have cratered already for it despite being cross platform though. I also hear Under Night 2 is good but I missed the price mistake on Humble the other day and I still haven't picked it up.

Out of the 3 in the OP, the only one that hasn't been ruined by its own developers is Tekken 8. I enjoy the game quite a bit but I prefer 2D fighters in general.

Moron Kombat.

Thus a new meme is born.

Street Fighter VI and Tekken 8 are both equally amazing games that offer something unique in the FGC space. I can't really directly compare them as it would be akin to comparing Dungeon Keeper with Command and Conquer. Sure, both are RTS games - but they are wildly different from each other. Both titles offer so much in terms of modes, unique characters, and fun. Both also offer a lot of love and respect to their franchises.

What I can say is "Moron Kombat 1" was beyond disappointing and a middle finger to fans after an already equally massive middle finger to fans with the last game. Pay me 14.99 to get the rest of the post.

 

[Reizo Ryuu]

SF6 > SF5 > Tekken 8 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>MK1

 

[Danjin44]

I coming from perspective of someone who only watches tournaments rather than play actual fighting games and among them Tekken 8 is most fun to watch and MK by far most boring one.

 

[Rocco Schiavone]

Easy Tekken 8 for me.
Street Fighter sucks since Street Fighter V.
Moron Combat is a no go since they removed big boobs from the female characters.

 

[RoboFu]

I vote MK1 because I only player single player and it is the best single out of the bunch.

 

[BennyBlanco]

Thus a new meme is born.

It’s an ancient meme for the FGC bros

 

[nial]

It’s an ancient meme for the FGC bros

Well, I'm finding myself corrected, lol. I don't engage in the FGC.

 

[Reizo Ryuu]

It’s an ancient meme for the FGC bros

This is still the funniest fgc meme to me.

 

[Fermbiz]

MK1 is ass, shit, and vomit on fire.

 

[FF:Enhanced_Reality]

Mortal Fucking Kombat. MK1 was the best since Deception after that MKX and MK11 crap. Tekken has pretty much been dead to me since that streaming pile of shit that was Tekken 6. I try each new title in the hopes that it'll get better and whilst Tag 2 was a laugh, 7 was dreadful and I didn't last much longer with 8.

Street fighter sadly I never got into.

Know what was fucking great though? VF4 on PS2 and Bloody Roar and Tobal. All very underrated.

 

[Kacho]

Moron Kombat is so apt

Tekken 8 gets my vote. I've always prefered 3D fighters over 2D so I'm biased. They click with me more.

 

[ShirAhava]

Tekken 8

Moron Kombat >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Shit Fighter 6 (I honestly think its the worst game in the series history other than SF1....I'd rather play Street Fighter EX 3)

 

[sloppyjoe_gamer]

Tekken 8 > All

Not even a contest

[Brigandier]

Tekken 8 by a fucking landslide it's absolutely top tier.

 

[Spyxos]

It is always Tekken for me.

 

[Kings Field]

Tekken 8.

Mortal Kombat hasn’t been good since MKX, one can even argue MK9.

SF6 just didn’t do it for me. I enjoyed 5 much more.

 

[JordiENP]

 

[Hollowpoint5557]

MK9 was the last good MK.

Tekken 6 was the last good Tekken before they went mental and started selling you the full game 1 piece at a time.

Guess SF6 wins by process of elimination.

 

[ReBurn]

Tekken 8 is the one I'm enjoying most so far.

 

[Zathalus]

Single player on MK1 was fun. But SF6 multiplayer kept me engaged for longer. I have not played Tekken 8 yet.

 

[Icymanipulator]

SF6 easily.
The only game of the 3 that tried something new and made some actual fundamental changes to existing gameplay and flow.

Tekken 8 is more or less a nicer looking version of Tekken 7. And MK1 just added assists, which other games have done before, and better.

 

[Pelta88]

The mechanics in SF6 take a lot of skill out of the game. I found myself managing meter more than enjoying the combat.

I still watch the tourneys for the top tiers.

 

[Ev1L AuRoN]

SF6 and Tekken 8 are amazing, MK1 is garbage

 

[Puscifer]

MK1 because at they give out a ton of free content that has to be paid for with the other two.

Tekken 8, good but the roster could use some tweaking and I hate they're taking lore so seriously they won't even have Heihachi as a ghost character and pulled an isekai

SF 6 is a dollhouse

 

[DavidGzz]

All 3 are very special to me. Grew up with them.

 

[STARSBarry]

And then there's me that just likes to play casual granblue fantasy versus.

[kunonabi]

Tekken 8 for me. Just does everything right. I like MK1 in concept and there are some cool kameo synergies, not that you're going to see most of them in competitive play sadly, but the game was really not ready for release. It's missing features, buggy, single player kontent is way worse than 11,and the character designs are only marginally better than they were in 11. Support from nether realms has just been abysmal too.

SF6 is an overall better package and game than MK1 but I like it even less. I hate the new character designs, the art style, the music, and I really don't like kind of gameplay the drive rush mechanic promotes. I find some of the other mechanics backwards too. The weird Twitter pandering in the character creator is also a turnoff.

 

[Caffeine]

street fighter 6 is the best experience for me. mk has regressed since x with each release. mk1 feels unpolished. I havent booted up tekken 8 yet.

 

[S0ULZB0URNE]

Depends on what your style.
Pro and serious SF6.
More casual friendly but also competitive T8.
Casual friendly but over the top and broken MK1.

 

[darrylgorn]

I voted MK1 just cause Moron Kombat.

 

[Crayon]

I've only played Tekken 8. It's an ignorant spamfest. But sf6 is ugly and mk is foreign so they lose.

 

[Labolas]

Probably Tekken 8 but it's not really fair tbh. It's a 3d game that has unique mechanics that are only in that subgenre. I mean the movement alone is more technical than anything in SF or MK. I enjoy watching tournaments and pros unlike SF6. MK1 is just the drizzling shits even the pro scene dislikes the game. I'm more or less in a love/hate relationship with SF6. In some aspects, I really enjoy fundamental mechanics but aestheically I do not like the game.

 

[HerjansEagleFeeder]

I wasn't even aware so many on here didn't like MK1, which is by far the most popular FG franchise globally.

 

[Bruno_Arrais85]

Moron Kombat 1 is already dead

 

[bumpkin]

MK1: Very nice looking and fun to play. Lots of customization. I tapped out on the story mode after a while but it was definitely well done. Netcode is questionable and it takes forever to get a fight going. Very weird juxtaposition between the Marvel movie style story mode and the over the top violence of the game itself. I love the roster and the cameo system is a cool way to throw in random characters without taking forever to balance the roster. Great graphics and production value. DDTing a guy’s head off with Reiko is maybe the most satisfying way to end a match in any fighting game ever.

Nowhere near as much as MK11 had. They cut a bunch of options for making each character your own from an aesthetics standpoint. Huge step back.

Spot on with everything else though. NRS knows how to make a nice looking, easy to play fighting game.

 

[killatopak]

Tekken 8 is the best. I think I liked SF5 more than 6. Last is MK1.

 

[Heimdall_Xtreme]

MK1 is a big step back to MK 11. Also I hate the idea of Kameo characters...

 

[//DEVIL//]

mk1 is the worst mk game i have ever played since probably the N64 version.

like... it shouldn't be even in the same title as Tekken 8. probably the best fighting game ever released for a while now.

SF6 is great game too. but I would pick tekken over SF

 

[Neolombax]

Granblue fantasy versus rising for me.

 

[Kiya's Guard]

I never cared about SF, and didn't play MK1 this time, so

The production value is so through the roof I'm totally afraid this will make SC7 not happen

Never played Tekken but it looks the best of the three.
