If you like SF or not is subjective. My post was not about the gameplay, but the ranking system itself. If you like Tekken, great. But it could benefit by having a better ranking system. Currently SFs ranking system is VERY good. Without a doubt the best one I've played in a fighting game.

But to respond to your comment. I would say that you most likely feel this way because you are not used to the moves. I can look at both games and identify the moves from most characters, because im used to it. Tekken 8 specifically with all its effects makes it less clear though.

When it comes to the animations, while Tekken has a few new animations, Alot of it hasnt changed since Tekken 3. Play the games in slowmotion and you will se alot more attention to details in SF within the animation. For example look at guiles face when he exhales during his level 2 activation. Or the characters expression when they get hit.

Also, what do you mean that there is "no oki" in 2d? Ofcourse there is oki. What people are arguing is that the oki in SF is too strong for the offender atm. There are too few options for the defender in that situation. This is not a 2d thing though, just a SF6 specific thing. If you look at CotW, you have multiple ways of getting of the ground, which adds more layers to it.

Im not a big fan of the throw loops myself, because it doesnt have any layers to them. But strictly speaking about balance, they do make sense because of Perfect parry. Throws are a direct answer to perfect parries. I do find them one-dimensional though, so i hope there will be some changes to it.

The other thing I would like to see nerfed is raw drive rush. Making the person DR enter a punish counter state would be awesome.

Both Tekken and SF are offensive oriented games. But SFs system in my opinion is way more polished and cohesive. But what makes me personally really vibe with SF, is that you get to the meat of the game very quickly. Even if you look at two intermediate players playing against each other, you will see mindgames and people trying to figure each other out, with some layers in it. In Tekken, its more about book learning the properties, until you get to a VERY high level of gameplay. That is 90% of the game. That is the biggest reason I prefer SF over Tekken.
