I play all fighting games. I enjoy 3D games significantly more than 2D games. Out of all of them, I'm the most passionate about Tekken then followed by VF.
I love Tekken for the sole reason that it is the epitome of core videogame design in a fighter. I play videogames because I get the feeling of escaping reality and taking control of something I can never be. And when it comes to complete "CONTROL", Tekken by and large meticulously designed everything to give me the most access and control to a characters abilities. The way the control scheme works where I independently control each person's limb and the completely analogue movement where you can spend 500 hours trying to master it yet you can always improve on it. And to top it all which makes Tekken the ultimate fighter beyond other games is the extremely intricate wakeup and okizeme game. The game gives the person who knockdowned someone to unleash insane amounts of damage while they're grounded; yet at the same time, gives knocked down player a plethora of options to escape and even counter attack.
In the end, Tekken truly is a marvel of a game when you consider the number of characters with an enormous movelist balanced to such a degree where even the
3 worst characters are seen in top 8's of tournaments. Tekken really is the only game left hat provides a level of control and freedom of design where that character becomes an extension of you and your personality. This series is a big investment considering how many mechanics and intricacies you have to learn, but the reward is unparalleled compared to anything else this industry can offer.
