Man fuck Brawl.
You have a Marvel Avatar. You have no right to complain.
Seriously, you have THREE ground binds per juggle in your game...
Hey, shooting rockets and flame blast at someone and not even doing any scratch is bad too... Marvel gives physics a bad name... I never thought rockets, guns and plasmas are that weak...
I'm just saying...

Battle Fantasia sucks, but it's still better than Marvel 3.
Kinda wish that game got a revision.
It's designed to be easy to pick up. I think this is a good thing, though folks who like hard execution don't like it. It's one of the rare fighting games that sells on the mindgames and not the swag. Swag gets boring to me after seeing it once.

Virtua Fighter has some pretty fluid looking stuff, particularly wall throws.

My point still stands. How is a hitbox in a game like Tekken any different from any other fighting game aside from the obvious tracking in the 3rd dimension.

Hell yes. I always feel like a boss landing Goh's half wall throw.

This is what you said:
The fact that you think Tekken is all about bound combo's shows your illierate bias against something without knowing anything about it.
Stop sidewinding and dodging and just answer my question. Why is Tekken's hitbox an area of such disdain compared to any other game's hitbox? Or not, then at least clarify IF you can.

TTT2 hitboxes don't look disjointed to me at all. They look accurate per their visual representation for the most part. I am not sure they are hitboxes though per marvel standards.
There is some weird stuff sometimes with stuff off axis and whiffing here and there. That is the nature of a 3dgame though to me, and something to learn and deal with while you play.
As the juggling. I am not a fan of long juggle combos (in 3d or 2d games), but how the physics feel while they a floating are fine to me. It's feels like tekken.
The physics on the bound moves and and the special blow back effects on certain moves on counter hit are fine to me as well.
Powerful moves feel like they hurt in tekken and have weight behind them.
I think TTT2 is awesome, like UMVC3. I prefer TTT2 over it though.

There was but the dawn of SF4 actually killed that off real quick. ASW expressed interest in doing one but it never came to fruition.
And BF can't suck because it's the 3rd Strike sequel everybody clamors for but never paid 2 squirts of attention to it. Shame.

I'm not agreeing to that
Isn't Aquapazza supposed to be the 3rd Strike sequel.
A Pretty Panda

Fine let's talk about Brawl.
1. The Characters have personality
This isn't something that draws me to fighting games but is something that makes me stay. Each character is so well realized. Everything fits each character perfectly. Win quotes, taunts, move names, teammate name calls, supers, costumes, all of these things.
2. Matchups are unclear
The tag team and assist system really throws a wrench into the rock-paper-scissor style matchup system that dominates games like Street Fighter. Sure, there are individual matchups. You can say Haggar v. Magneto is impossible for Haggar and Wesker v. Morrigan is in Morrigan's favor, but put two teammates into the mix, and suddenly things aren't so crystal clear anymore.
3. Technology keeps things fresh
Every two months there's a new tier list (even though its the same game), every month there's a new 'best team', every two weeks a new character is called broken, almost every day a new combo is discovered.
I like to keep two of the characters in my main team the same, and to spend hours swapping out the third one, trying to find the most damaging combo I can. I feel like I accomplish something even if I end up just adding an extra 10k damage to my BnB.
4. Everyone is broken
I love the Versus series' approach to balance. In this game, every character has something that seems like it breaks the rule of fighting games and is 'too cheap'. Everyone (besides Ryu) has something that the other characters don't have.
5. Its fun as hell
No explanation needed. Its the most fun, instantly gratifying fighting game I've played.
I'm getting there too. If AE had never come out, I'd say SSFIV is the best FG ever made. However, Ultimate fixed most of what was wrong with MvC3 and AE shit on some of what I loved in SSFIV, so now here I stand
Yes, MvC1 got better stages and music, but that don't make a fighter. As broken as UMvC3 is, its not as bad as MvC1.
Chaos Breaker aka Dark Awake is the best fighting game ever made.

Roger and Jack are realistic man!
Yea, to me Tekken is like a kung Fu/Matrix fantasy fighting movie dealy thing.
It always has been exaggerated to me, with Paul deathfisting dudes in the stomach across the screen back in the day to what it is now, which I really like. It's goofy exaggerated aniime/kung fu fighting to me on many levels, with devils/angels, animals, aliens robots running around fighting each other with electricity coming out of hands and wings being sprouted.

Hahaha, this game is cool. Me likey Fina.
Why do female mages hate clothing, but make mages wear extravagant outfits?
Badass that you can parry the fireballs.
It's too bad there are no noteworthy western fighting game developers outside of NRS. We could use some medieval stuff.

I just hate some of the names.
When someone says "oh you know, Paul from Tekken", fucking no I do not know who the hell that is. I'm sure I've seen the character before but some characters just have generic ass names.
"Bob"
"Nina"

Are you being serious right now?
I think I got that game free from PSN+. It was so bad I deleted it about 10 minutes into it.
It looked okay but it played so bad.
Fuck. I forgot all about KOF13.
I do think KOF13 is better made game than Marvel 3, if that makes any sense.

Names that are as interesting as the characters. TTT3 to feature Bob from Accounting.
If you don't have good netcode, it really doesn't matter. People need to be able to play with other people.

BattleFantasia, most competent fighter I've played this generation that don't contain the words Blaz & Blue.
And you played it for 10 minutes. Are you being serious?
BF is not a game of instant gratification. You do have to invest something into it to get something out of it.
Yo, all this shit talk about Tekken are just from Marvel minions that are jelly that they can't do awesome 3D combos in their game that they rely on X-Factor to win with.
Kidding, of course. But yo mothafuckas need to chill it with the hate talk. Might as well get rid of threads like these if you have to keep it so Marvel-centric.
What if you don't need an online community to enjoy the game in an offline setting?

I had Pit Fighter for the Genesis back in the day. What a crappy game, though I didn't realize it at the time.
Let them, it's fine exposing the illiterates. It is mildly amusing seeing haters retreat to shit talking about names of all things when they know they can't back up any of their claims on gameplay.

Everyone is illiterate.
I think Arc fired the designer of that game and she now does doujinshi. One of the few FG's with a woman as lead developer.
Is BF had Arc netcode and a few folks still playing I would be playing it, it's a better 3S.
Tell me characters from any game I don't play and I feel the same way.
I think we've already established that you have no arguments beyond personal taste, thank you.
