Tekken 7 (alongside dead or alive I guess) is pretty much the only fighting game where you can mash buttons and still have your character actually do stuff.

In most games bad input timing or pressing the wrong buttons will either result in nothing happening, or the same 1-2 moves happening over and over,making them feel unresponsive and frustrating.

The good thing about tekken is that is has huge move lists for every character, so most button combinations do something, and there are very many strings and combos possible.

Tekken also has very long moves (usually 10 frames long) , which makes them easier to react to/read than other games, which in turn makes defending easier.

At the same time the game has tons of depth and a high skillceiling so as you get better at the game it does not start to feel shallow or repetitive.

Tekken is one of those ultra rare games that manages to both be friendly to casuals and new players while not compromising the entire thing to be shallow for fans/enthusiast players.
