    This game is the reason why I'm interested in Tekken again after so many years, this is definitely the best Tekken game in terms of gameplay.

    The stages look beautiful for the most part, and the music is okay.

    The story tries to do something cool but ultimately falls flat and is just boring.

    I think the biggest problem of the game is the lack of single player content. If you don't want to play multiplayer, there's barely anything for you to enjoy here and that's a shame.

    The game does feel unfinished sometimes, especially after that rough start. The DLCs complete it and improve the game a lot but there are many of them to the point where it just gets annoying.

    Overall it's one of the most enjoyable recent fighting games and a great entry in the Tekken series, solely because of its diverse character roster and fun additional gameplay mechanics.

    Pretty boring. Feels like a less entertaining version of DoA. I have around 30+ fighter games and this is between half way and bottom of the stack for me. Always play cos I fancy a change, never a first choice.

    Looks nice, sounds nice. Just feels poor gameplay wise. Too many combos. I'd rather have a few move sets to use wisely, than have to remember every single button and    Pretty boring.

    Looks nice, sounds nice. Just feels poor gameplay wise. Too many combos. I'd rather have a few move sets to use wisely, than have to remember every single button and direction to do a different move and then combos. I just don't like these style of inputs.

    If I had hours and hours to sink in to this then I'm sure I'd like it more but seems more like a game of memory at the moment and I like playing lots of games, I can't remember these masses of inputs.

    I play KoF 15, GG Strive, MK11, Injustice 2, BB Centralfiction. Always playing fighters but I can hit them up and get stuck in and with this I don't have that pick up and play vibe.

    What I really don't get are all these reviews hating on the game cos of its story. It's a 2Dish fighter. Not an RPG, you're not reading a book. I've never in my life discussed fighters with my mates and they've said oh story is a bit **** Who cares. It's a bloody fighter. It's like buying a cake and saying I don't like the cake cos the knife that sliced it wasn't very decorative.

    I'm actually going to stick with this one and keep giving it another try and hopefully raise my score. Something is telling me I haven't experienced what this game has to offer yet. If a game isn't worth my time then it is a straight 0 score from me. I think it is so cheap these days that it is well worth having and it feels very polished. I think some reviews are maybe being a bit harsh. I own a hell of a lot of games, so I have a lot to compare against. Anything out of the red is a good enough score from me.    … Expand

    Pros

    New mechanics: Rage Arts (Doing a super when you're in low health by doing a command or by one button), Rage Drive (Modified move from the original), Screw (A new way of doing combos, much better than Tekken 6/Tekken Tag Tournament 2) Season Passes: The first Tekken to have season passes. This builds up hype and introduces new characters and stages. Music: The music in this    Pros

    New mechanics: Rage Arts (Doing a super when you're in low health by doing a command or by one button), Rage Drive (Modified move from the original), Screw (A new way of doing combos, much better than Tekken 6/Tekken Tag Tournament 2)

    Season Passes: The first Tekken to have season passes. This builds up hype and introduces new characters and stages.

    Music: The music in this game is great! You can also change music from the Jukebox (You can only do this on PS4 because most of the Tekken games have been on PlayStation consoles)

    Gallery: The gallery is quite a surprise. Not only does it have character endings from past Tekken games, but it also has artwork which I've never seen before.

    ULTIMATE TEKKEN BOWL: Relive memories of playing Tekken Bowl from Tekken Tag Tournament. Play bowling in Tekken style!

    Rank Points: Ever since Tekken 5 DR, there was no rank points. You had no idea how close you were to a promotion/demotion. This was the first Tekken to introduce rank points, you can finally tell if you're close to a promotion/demotion.

    Easy throw-breaking: Throw-breaking has gotten a little easy, it is not unnecessarily difficult anymore.

    Easy controller-setup: Controller setup is much better and easy than previous Tekken games.

    Stage/Music Transition: I like how the stage changes atmosphere on the last round, as well as the music. This build up hype.

    Cons

    Online: Sometimes, the netcode is good, sometimes, it isn't. In season 1, there was no rank points, which was a problem since Tekken 5 DR because you would have no idea if you are close to a promotion/demotion. Rank points were then introduced in season 2. When someone disconnects during a match, you get nothing, unless the opponent goes AFK and you quickly beat him before the match gets cancelled to get points. In an online tournament, when a match gets disconnected, you either win by default, or the whole tournament gets canceled.

    Broken Characters: 2D characters like Akuma (Street Fighter), Geese Howard (King of Fighters/Fatal Fury), and Noctis Lucis Caelum are non-Tekken characters who are broken. DLC characters like Negan, Leroy Smith, Fakhumram, Kunimitsu and Lidia Sobieska are broken. Every part about them is annoying. This is just my opinion, you may disagree to this.

    Terrible/Short Story: The main story was alright, I just wish there was more. The narrator made the main story boring. I can't say the same for the character episodes, they were absolutely terrible.

    Lack of Content: This game does not have many offline content and is missing some like team battle and survival. ULTIMATE TEKKEN BOWL is good, but it's not enough. Also, the AI in this game is trash, which makes Treasure Battle boring.

    No tutorial mode: You have to learn this game on your own or by searching YouTube videos.

    Frame Data: Frame Data was finally added in the game, back in season 3, but now you have to pay for it.

    Stages: Two dojo stages, two volcano stages, two helipad stages and two floor-break stages. Some of the filters on the stages looked terrible than compared to the beautiful Vanilla filters. The main ones to me were Twilight Conflict with the beautiful sunset, Mishima Dojo with the warm contrast and Devil's pit with the dark atmosphere. They completely ruin those stages by changing the filters. In season 2, they brought the filters back, but they're separate stages now. They should've been a stage transition.    … Expand

A key thing to note is that I haven't really played Tekken, except for a few goes here and there at my friend's house on the original PS1 when I was a kid. Accordingly, I didn't really enjoy this.

I just couldn't get into the flow of the game. I felt I was just being juggled by the enemy constantly and couldn't break out of it. Obviously, I'm just crap. But I'm an experienced gamer and platinum many games. 2D fighters like Injustice and Mortal Kombat have much more in-depth tutorials and explanations built into the game. I can see some people loving this. But it just wasn't for me. And the Rage Art thing is crap - you can perform a special powerful move when you hit below 20% energy, effectively rewarding you for losing and arbitrarily trying to make it a close fight. Injustice is better because you build up the bar by actually winning and can then use the bar in different ways.… Expand

    Tekken 5 was a small part of my childhood.
    It's been quite long since I played a Tekken game for the last time... till recently.
    Tekken's strongest aspect was always the gameplay, and Tekken 7's core gameplay is awesome! It's very complex, it looks clean and it feels smooth... it's Tekken gameplay at it's finest. The roster is great, even though there are some questionable additions in.    Tekken 5 was a small part of my childhood.

    The visuals and the audio design are very dynamic and cool!
    The customization is fine and the music is... well, Tekken 7's soundtrack is mediocre at best but I like how there's an option to use tracks from the previous games in the series.
    The game is not flawless though, far from it.
    Some animations and character elements feel outdated or unpolished.
    The DLC characters are way too many in my opinion and half of them should've been included in the base game; locking classic Tekken characters behind a pay-wall is unacceptable.
    The Arcade Mode is a joke; it's very short and irrelevant.
    Also, the singleplayer content is just underwhelming.

    Pros:
    + Amazing gameplay
    + Very good roster
    + Complex mechanics

    + Decent customization

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I have been a fan of this franchise since the first one. The character rooster seems way too heavily focused on milking money off of other franchises and not enough thought or ideas into the rooster. This game is way too heavily focused on the E-Sport side of the game than the majority of the fan base. the game lacks solo player minigames and every character feels the same now since they tweak everything in the game for competitive online play. The rooster is just random characters from other games and movies and based on racal professency. Where is the playable devil Kazya or playable boss characters we used to get in these fighting games that made the game fun for the solo players? No where because games are to focused on esports and youtubers to care about the true fan base by milking money out everything without any thought or good idea into the game. Sorry for those that like this game but the game is a big step back for me. The story was completely ruined by containing non-tekken characters in the canon story.… Expand

At its core, the game runs smoothly, it feels great to play, and it's just really solid overall. But when it comes to fighting games, they need some good extras if you're going to pay the full $60. Most of the past Tekkens seemed to have more than what this game has, at least good stuff. It also lacks more characters. Not saying there's very little characters, but it seems like there's less than before. The story mode was mediocre and so were everyone's endings. I got this thinking it was going to be the last main Tekken game, but I found out it's not. So this game is mostly just ok. I'd say wait for a price drop or sale for this game.… Expand

    Tekken 7 takes a far more cinematic approach and to make some enemies real quick, I think we lose a lot with this approach to fighting games, Tekken 7 has very pretty cgi cutscenes but the gameplay is subpar at best, I think ArcSys hit the nail on the head with their Story Modes in the Guilty Gear franchise, having the story be told in one long continuous cutscene rather than breaking it up to force some kind of fight to stop the player from falling asleep, because that's how many of the gameplay sections in T7's story feels, forced. The story primarily revolves around Heihachi and Kazuya Mishima, series mainstays and original characters, but because this is a video game, the story takes several detours to focus on other characters such as... Lars from Tekken 6... interesting characters are also there, like Nina, Lee and Jin shows up for like 10 minutes, which is kind of a shame after Tekken 6 where he was a pivotal character. Akuma from Street Fighter is there too... anyway. Tekken 7 constantly distracts from Kazuya and Heihachi to focus on these side stories because you can't sustain two characters going at each other for over an hour without them fighting which logically has to be the conclusion, and the conclusory scenes are great, Kazuya devolving further into Devil as Heihachi keeps fighting despite being heavily outmatched, it's great and the way the fight ends is amazing, but that's the final 20 or so minutes to a Story Mode that's over 2 hours, the rest of it is incredibly mediocre. The attempt to humanize Heihachi certainly is interesting, but it begs the question of why Heihachi never mentioned the Devil gene if his attempt to kill Kazuya related to it and he knew it existed, it also makes Kazuya's deal with the devil less interesting as rather than being a conscious decision our initial HERO made to sacrifice his morality for power, it's just something he can't help and is quite literally in his genes. As for Akuma who is again... in this game for some reason, he doesn't really do anything, he's just here to act as some extra fights and one of the worst final boss fights the series has, and this is the series with Jinpachi Mishima. Robot girl from T6 is back too... I don't have anything to say about her, you like pink hair anime girls? There's your pink haired anime girl.

    Outside of Story Mode is where this game really falls apart, gone is Arcade Mode with character endings and unlockable secret characters, and in is a pointless arcade mode barren of rewards or purpose, you just fight 10 matches, then it's over, no character ending, no artwork, nothing. Though there are some character endings, but there all one fight long with zero development for anybody, and no alternating scenario, where finishing with Paul would have a different ending than finishing with Marshal Law in early endings, now you get the exact same endings for any characters together in one ending, with some variations, I think Leo and Yoshimitsu have vaguely different endings, but they're all so forgettable it's hard to be certain. Outside of Arcade and Endings there's... nothing... there's a Treasure Hunt game mode but it's no different from Arcade Mode and uh... yeah that's it, a whole 3 offline modes, one of which is pointless and the other lasts about 2 hours, it's Online or nothing here, and all the beautiful graphics and particle effects in the world can't fix that.

    Overall I don't think Tekken 7 is a bad game, and I'm sure if you're an online player, you likely feel I'm being too harsh, but considering the Offline offering here for the 7th main installment for a series known for its crazy offline minigames and distractions like Devil Within, Bowling, Volley Ball, and hell, in Tekken 5's case entire playable versions of the series until that point. It's just disappointing, even compared to the Ps1 games, THE PS1 GAMES! I just hope Tekken 8 offers more to those of us who don't want to spend all their time fighting online against people who're madly in love with their 1+2 combo.    … Expand

    If you have played any other PVP game made in the last decade you will quickly realize just how incredibly incompetent this game is.

A working online mode should be the bare minimum, so should an anti-cheat system and all the dozens of other things that Tekken lacks despite them being the industry standard. This game is truly surprising in just how many ways it manages to be incompetent in. Everything outside of the match is beyond half-assed and most of the things inside are too. Like srsly, how can you possibly justify the animations in this game? if your character kicks me in the forehead then that is not a mid-attack. A stomach punch is not a low. Do you like having to spend hundreds of hours learning the absolute basics? because every single thing in this game is made to torture new players. Enjoy playing against people that have played this game for decades and struggling to find anyone that's actually your skill level, since the game saves your rank locally which means you are going to spend most of your time playing against smurfs that keep resetting their account and on the off chance that you manage to beat them they will just close the game which won't count as your win because why not. After all, if you want to keep playing this game you are going to have to lower your expectations immensely. Do you want to find out just how little a company can care about its product while also acting like they are complete game design geniuses and a gift to you? Do you want to smash your controller? Then this is the game for you. Btw your DLC is saved in a text file. It takes seconds to unlock it all. Pure incompetence.… Expand

    Este Tekken trae el Gameplay más pulido de la saga. Se ha centrado más en la jugabilidad y en la experiencia inmersiva que en detalles insignificantes. El único problema es que la selección de personajes no es tan buena como en tekken 6, a excepción de AKUMA, que es un personaje muy bueno traído de Street Fighter.

They're extremely well done in the arts available in the fighter selection menu, but during gameplay it's a disastrous downgrade.
    You guys are quick when it comes to bringing in new characters and unfairly selling them apart. But they are slow and remiss to send an update that improves the look of the game. Another great franchise disgraced by the laziness and carelessness of the developers.    … Expand

I literally have no idea what the devs had in mind when they made the mechanics of the game but it just blows my mind. The game itself is beautiful, the moves are awesome, it's the best looking Tekken game so far, but the fact that characters just keep fckn bouncing, splashing from the ground, from the wall, from everywhere is incredible. The core of the game is basically who can hit you up into the air first and keep juggling you, making it impossible for you to get up until you're dead. 90% of the players are doing this, they are not even attacking just waiting for you to make a move, make a juggle and then take half or even three-quarter of your life by mashing 2-3 moves, keeping you in the air and making it impossible for you to get up.

    Side steps are useless in the game, there are a few characters who are faster than everyone and on top of all the crap that was successfully delivered in this game, luckily we also have rage, which allows the worst, most mediocre players to win a match, even though they would've lost because they have no idea what they are doing, other then repeating 2-3 moves over and over again.

    I couldn't wait for this one, thought it would be the best Tekken ever made but you could just literally call it Tekken Bounce or some sh*t like that because that's what it's all about. Bouncing characters and not getting up ever again if you make just one mistake. (Wish I could rate this a -1)

    Oh Boy where do i start here.
    Doesnt matter if your casually playing or competetive. Both ways are depressing af.

    (This is based on my opinion and expirience with this game)

    Pro's
    - Music is alright. Some of them are ok - amazing. With jukebox you can choose every tekken Soundtrack.
    - Graphics
    - Playing with your friends (if you have some)
    - A lot of characters u can choose from ( also viewed negatively but i will come back to this point later)

    Con's
    - To many Characters (I think there are 50). If you play casually and ur fine with it getting ur ass beat all the time because u don't know the moves than its ok. But playing competetive is so depressing because learning every move in this game is actually impossible. There are 5000 of them. Good luck.
    - DLC pay to win. Not every DLC-character but most of them are PTW. They have moves that original character dont have or are not that good. A little example: Negans Powercrush launcher (wtf), Fahkumrams insane backdash, movement in general, absurd moves, DMG and broken hitbox. No one knows what to do against zafina. And don't get me started on leroy. He's just an ultra darksouls boss with every perfect move.
    - If you play against DLC-Character and you dont have DLC, than u are screwed af. You cant lab them. You cant choose them in training to look up there moves and learning how to punish ect. Good luck playing against Zafina and Lei.
    - Costumization is a joke.
    - No offline modes that are actully fun to play
    - Playing online is cancer. The worst connection a fighting game could have. In most of the time you are playing with 4bar connection but the problem is, there are huuuuuuge lagspikes evey 5 seconds. Even if you play with 5bar. 3bar connection is sometimes worse than 1bar. This game not playable online. You are loosing so many games because of that. You can not properly punish or break grabs. I really don't know what they've done here. What a joke.
    - Playing against noctis is kinda cancer. Same with leroy and negan. Why are negan, leroy and noctis play so cancer and toxic???

    They ruined Tekken. I guess they wanted to make it more like Street Fighter, but to me the best part of Tekken was NOT being like SF. The new flashy animations and particle effects add nothing, in fact they're just distracting and disorienting. The less said about the money-grubbing microtransactions just to get characters that should have been included in the base game, the better.

    The game has devolved to a sort of bum rush beat-em up. Whoever gets to juggle to the wall first wins. A lot of powerful moves that are easy to execute and with a lot of range, which in-turn makes movement and side-stepping irrelevant. Just play characters with launchers that are good crushers then you're good to go.

    Not much of a big improvement from the previous Tekken games. Enjoyable of course it's tekken, one of the best fighting games ever, if not the best. But each of the characters' stories were not as funny, or compelling as before. Story mode is okay but it's not that interesting. It's like the previous games but with the added rage move. That's it.

    - The graphics are not as sharp as it should be...the developer tried to hide its imperfections under some sort of "fuzzy/Blurry" filter that makes the game's graphical shortcomings even more apparent.

    - Broken sense of difficulty progression...there are multiple times when the Ai at earlier levels feel far more difficult than what it might be on later levels.

    - Long Loading Times....for a fighting game this is totally unacceptable... seating in a loading screen between matches just causes a lost of momentum....and interest to continue.

    Let's face it....Tekken 7 got even more ridiculous with the amount of new forgettable characters that don't add any substantial value..."more" doesn't mean better as they should improve on the existing characters as priority.    … Expand

    Si te gusta Tekken te va a gustar Tekken 7, y si no te gusta, los cambios que se han hecho a la jugabilidad valen la pena para darle una nueva oportunidad a la serie. Tekken 7 es una obra que, aunque tiene sus puntos flacos, se mantiene como una opción única e imprescindible dentro de la oferta del género.

    Cheap boss fights and ludicrous DLC. I miss the days Tekken was about skill and all the content shipped with the game. Another fighting game series joins MK and SF on the trash heap.

    Tekken 7 is a really good game and probably the best in franchise. Requires lots of skill from the players, there are a lot of characters(some of them paid DLCs), good amount of stages(although some of them are just copies of others with different colors and music), very fun and challenging online mode, really amazing gameplay.

    However, it does have some problems: offline one-player modes are really really weak, boring and lacks content, so you should really buy Tekken 7 to play online only. Also, I usually don't complain about DLCs, but there is one in particular which is really dumb to be paid : frame data. Many of the fighting games have it for free, and its a resource that you can find in the web to improve yourself. This kinda gives to the game a glance of pay-to-win system.
    In general the game is really good and it is highly recommended to any fighting game lover!    … Expand

    Just awful. I've played Tekken for years and this is the absolute worst. the controls are choppy the combo timing is godawful. And they thought they would make up for the gameplay with sexy girls and a new game mode? Hey newsflash Devs! We could watch porn, save 30 bucks and still keep our sanity after trying to use these glitchy mechanics

    Amazing, not one person mentions the price of the DLC characters, if you want the full game to date you would have to spend $160.00, not including characters still being released at $6.00 to $8.00 a piece.

    Okay, the characters are the ones and the fight remains fun, but it has been speeded up to the point of becoming a cripple compared to the original Tekken style, which was slower than other fighting video games.
    In addition, "super moves" have been added, which are learnable most of the time and are of no use other than to give frustration to the player, who is perhaps winning and is forced to lose the round due to something he cannot parry in any way.
    Not to mention the obviously artificial difficulty of some characters, especially of transformed Kazumi, with his continuous unfair and almost always learnable moves, also because of the speed of the fights I mentioned before. There is the constant sensation of artificial difficulty, made only to make the player nervous, to row against him.
    There are no longer the movies and the stories of the players in the arcade battles, there is only one long and boring storyline "the story of the Mishima", which makes us use characters of his choice. We no longer have the stories of the characters, which I find horrible from a Tekken, we have always had the stories of the characters.
    The customization mode is nice but it has been filled with silly and uninteresting objects, with pathetic costumes or parts of them, that not even an 8 year old would appreciate.
    Arcade battles now stop at the fifth match and end with a nice game over without the character's final storyline.
    This chapter is very sad, not to be thrown away but light years away from the splendor of the old Tekken.
    Also, I add, that the PS4 pad is really unsuitable and inefficient to play this speeded Tekken, it is often wrong and you will not be able to make the moves in fluency as with the old pads of old Playstations.    … Expand

If you've played any Tekken game from over the years, on any game system, then you'll basically know what toDespite its title, Tekken 7 is actually the tenth in Namcos's series of 3D fighting games, which originally debuted way back in 1994. The most recent entries include last year's Tekken Tag 2 for the Xbox360 and Play Station 3, whereas Tekken 7 brings it back home to the PC platform. If you've played any Tekken game from over the years, on any game system, then you'll basically know what to expect from this latest installment. It features the same sort of simple, slow-paced, good-looking action that's enabled this series to squeak by for all these years, but the addition of a few new fighters, a new mode, and some tweaks to the gameplay don't stop this from being a rather simple, shallow game.

    At a glance, the Tekken games do nothing to distinguish themselves from better-known 3D fighting game series, like Virtua Fighter, Soul Calibur, and Dead or Alive. This new game features 38 different characters, who mostly look like a bunch of hipsters who'd be more at home in a dance club than in a fighting arena. The vast majority of these characters return from previous Tekkens, and one thing both the old and new characters have in common is their ability to mash out attacks without much skill. Strangely, the designers seem to have run out of move ideas, as all of the newer Tekken characters reuse moves previously seen in past games.

    OK, maybe all the viable martial arts ideas have already been used up. But, really, that's part of the problem. Apart from the characters' abilities, which they can use from the first moment of any match at the press of a button, the fighters in Tekken 7 are capable of the sorts of things you'd expect to see in any uninspired fighting game. simple combos reward button mashing, as each fighter can easily string together punches and kicks for some pretty big damage. Some moves launch opponents into the air, and you may continue to juggle them on their way down with still more attacks. Strings of a half-dozen or more hits are common. Some countermoves and guard-crushing moves are available, respectively, for dealing with opponents who are too reckless or too defensive. But these are par for the course in the genre and are rarely worth the risk when the alternative is to keep churning out quick, easy, damaging combos. Mechanically, the game works ok. The controls are sluggish, and the action, for the most part, is repetative. The average fighting-game player with any level of proficiency should be able to see through this game's limited strategies and moves list relatively quickly. As any long-running fighting game series tends to, Tekken does have its own modest following, and these players should appreciate some of the nuanced changes to the gameplay, if for no other reason than that they're nuances.

    Tekken also packs some gameplay tweaks, the most notable of which is the fact that characters now randomly slow down when they attack eacho other, this "feature" however only breaks the flow of the match and shows just how bad and dated tekkens animations are. On the other hand, rage arts tekkens new super move can end a round in seconds. Actually, some of the characters become quite overpowered as a result of this change.

    The story mode of Tekken lets you fight through one opponent after another until you reach the final battle, which is predicated on some completely inane dialogue. The dialogue is all dubbed in English and is poorly translated, but it can be entertaining if for no other reason than its sheer absurdity. The rest of the audio is serviceable but understated and forgettable. As mentioned, the AI in Tekken 7 really doesn't present much of a challenge, though, as a two-player game, it could theoretically be fun for a while. Tekken 7 runs at a very smooth frame rate for the most part, though in some situations there's noticeable, annoying slowdown. The characters look quite bland and animations are notably dated, and the variety of backgrounds, while predictable, also look ok. Most of the returning characters look the same as ever, but one of the strangest new additions to this Tekken is a glowing effect, whereby certain moves will cause the character to light up. which seems rather ridiculous. The shallowness limits this game's already limited audience, as there's really nothing to be found here--or at least nothing beyond what you can find in any other fighting game.

    Tekken 7 is a predictable follow-up to a series that's never aimed particularly high. Fans of fighting games may appreciate it since it does offer more than a dozen different characters to play around with, and some of the character designs are actually pretty appealing. Still, this one can mostly be recommended only to those who really like fighting games, in general, or to those who are looking for a casual, anime-style game to play with like-minded friends.    … Expand

    On the other hand it does indulge in the Season Pass, a scam started by Rockstar Games to sell missing content back to the end user. It's an insulting thing that Tecmo Koei has implemented into DOA5 Last Round each costing up to $99 and it's only for character costumes. With Tekken 7 having only 3, it's probably safe to say the game's done with characters by now.    … Expand

    What I have to say about Tekken 7, the game is boring, story mode is too short, in my opinion the worse of the saga. The character customization is awful, girli hair cuts and many items that are the same for everyone, it shouldn´t be problem but the items are odd and haven´t good look at least a big part of them.

    Tekken 7 is very much Tekken, exactly like you've always known it. Luckily the game knows how to get maximum gain out of seemingly minimal additions, like the flashy Rage Arts, tactical Power Crushes and surprisingly spectacular presence of Street Fighter icon Akuma. But due to the pretentious and disappointing single-player content it will never be a classic.
