I'm not as much a Tekken person as I am a person who plays fighting games in which the develpers actually put thought into the gameplay. Instead of relying on a currently popular anime to sell it. XD (Sorry, I had to make this joke.)
Yeah, I play Tekken. But I also play Soul Calibur, Smash Bros., Mortal Kombat, Street Fighter (this covers all 2D fighters), a little DOA, Virtua Fighter and I finally decided to go out and try a Guilty Gear game.
Honestly, the fighting genre is currently the highest quality genre right now. Fighting developers have formed a feirce compitition (Rivalries like DOA vs. Tekken and Soul Calibur vs. Virtua Fighter.) that other companies just don't want to get into. It's difficult to pick up a fighting game in this era that isn't excellent. It's a good time to be a fighting game fan. Especailly with the online infrastructure growing.....although there's yet to be a fighting game that did online play properly. But then again, Sega or Namco haven't gotten to try it yet. DOA online sucks and Capcom just desn't seem to care.
I haven't played Mortal Kombat online yet, but this is MIDWAY we're talking about so I can't imagine it being too grand.
Anyway, I'm currently playing Marvel Vs. Capcom 2....again....for the first time in two years and the criminally overlooked Street Fighter 3: Third strike.
A good fighting game presents near endless replay value if you have human opponents willing to play with you. People are STILL PLAYING Street fighter II and major tournaments. The reason for that is that unlike adventure games or RPG's, fighting games never lose challenge over time. You can figure out a single player game like Zelda easily and soon it will no longer difficult for you. However, you can't figure out human opposition. and like you, other humans get better. Therefore, the fun never fades. And as long as there's good gameplay, that requires reflexes and strategic thinking at all times, the fighting genre will be eternal.
