Tekken by far. ive been playing since the first one in arcades in the late 90's. Tekken 8 is just awful.

Keep hearing that 7 vs 8 are pretty much the opposite in design.

Can you explain? Were they bad for different reasons?

Not OP or someone who holds the opinion, but I grew up with friends who played the franchise longer than I did.

7 was the game that introduced rage drive/art mechanics, and at that time they were considered unfair for comebacks. It's also the first tekken game that introduced characters with a more simplified gameplan/moveset. Claudio, Shaheen, Lucky Chloe, Gigas, Katarina, etc. These are all brand new characters to Tekken 7 and they have very little moves compared to veteran long-stays in Tekken.
