This is a classic doomer post, and honestly, it’s part of what’s actually wrong with the Tekken community right now.
Tekken X is in a great state. Just watch the tournaments, they’re competitive, hype, and full of close matches. The game is doing its job. What’s not doing its job is the community discourse.
What’s poisoning the scene is this wave of negativity: hyperbolic language, bad takes based on misunderstanding the game, and content creators cashing in on outrage because it gets clicks. They push false narratives, and newer players, who haven’t tested things for themselves, start repeating them like gospel:
•“Defense is dead” •“It’s just 50/50” •“It’s a party game” •“Weaknesses define characters” •“The devs don’t listen”
All of that is false, and we know it’s false because the real-world data and tournament results contradict it.
