Streetfighter was the father of all fighting games. The first game was the first beat-em-up I remember playing. Streetfighter 2 was famous as the first successful coin-op to console conversion, with the graphics and gameplay intact. Since then, the series has grown, even branching out to 3-D, but still maintaining it’s roots of a few special moves.
Tekken was the top fighting game on the PS, with Tekken 2 being my particular favourite at the time, as it was slightly quicker and the combos more fluid. There’s more of a storyline to Tekken than to Streetfighter, and there is more depth to each character’s moveset.
I’m gonna vote Tekken. I spent more time playing that gaming series than Streetfighter. I enjoy spending time learning one character’s moveset deep down and then using those moves to surprise my opponent at opportune moments.
Tekken is such a deep game. People can spends weeks finding out every little move.
I reckon Tekken is better, smoother, the fighters have better movements, LOADS more combos.
Erm, though Tekken characters tend to have more developed fighting styles and many more moves, I think you’ll find Street Fighter is the one with loads more combos (which also happen to be more practical).
Not that Tekken isn’t fast paced, but much more reflex and resourcefulness is still needed for the speedier SFs since moves are limited, and being that they’re mostly 2D the characters have much shorter, quicker animations (I don’t respect the EX games outside of their soundtracks–slower, and horrible 3D graphics).
I’ve always found SFs to be more colourful, entertaining and challenging, and am glad there’s no cheap way to keep people on the ground with cheesy sweeps etc. XD There’s a way to escape most moves in Tekken, and it’s a real pain to have a match last far longer than it has to because your oppnent incessantly counters/escapes/chickens/what-have-you.
Also, most Tekkens have built-in move lists , so there isn’t that much "figuring out" stuff, either.
I enjoyed Tekken 2 and Tag the most of the series, since they’ve got wider character selections, and good soundtracks, but I never spent as much time with those two combined than even SF Alpha 2 alone.

Hehe, don’t get me wrong, I’m not bashing Tekken at all. It’s just that I’ve spent alot more time on, and have had more fun and competition with the various SFs.
Mmm…*daydreams of Jin*
besaids tekken characters age quicl soon theyl all be gran parents
Tekken is still one of my worst gaming experiences ever. Maybe it’s because I suck, or maybe it’s because the game sucks. Either way, it was horrid.
Am I the only one who prefers to see Street Fighter’s graphics over Tekken’s? Those sprites own any 3D models any day.
The Capcom Vs. series is always great. Some may argue with that being a Street Fighter title, but there would be no game without it. It would be Megaman vs. The Hulk or Morrigan vs. Rugal (CHEAP BASTARD >:O). Marvel vs. Capcom 2 is the fastest fighting game I know, appealing to newbies and old schoolers (unlike Tekken which appeals to . . . graphics freaks).
Seriously, if you want a game, pick up Street Fighter 3, Alpha 3, MvC2, or Capcom vs. SNK. Or any SNK title. It’s way better.
SF owns you all.
Besides, 3D fighters seem to have a rreeeaal stiff fighting system…Tekken especially…I tried doing moves and combos and stuff in Tekken, really I did…and yet, the characters feel like they’re chained to the ground..whereas in 2D fighters, you can jump off the side of the screen, double jumps, run, dash, etc….
And yes..I believe 2D fighters have the better combo system…have you seen the Godly 128 combo Mega Man can do in Marvel VS Capcom…? Anyone who has Kazaa, look for it….it’s mean and cruel…x_x
So, while I don’t love SF, I definitely prefer it over Tekken…
Hand me a 2D fighter any day….the only 3D fighters I find good are Ehrgiez, Bloody Roar series and Mortal Kombat; Deadly Aliance (and even Mortal Kombat isn’t that great…)
Although I agree with Koenma about 3d fighters having a combo system which is way to hard to pull off (MK; DA especially), I still like 3d over the 2d . . . but I never liked Tekken so in this case my vote goes for SF.
Holy crap Jamie. MK:DA is not hard to pull off. MK:Trilogy is the one that was hard to pull off combos. But I guess that is one of the few games I might be able to beat you in. :lol
I like Tekken better because it’s more realistic and such. I like 3D more than 2D. 2D was soooooo 20th century… Now we’re in the 3D+ era… Although, SF is good at 2D, a 3D version would be awesome, hopefully! Another thing I don’t like about SF is that sometimes, a stupid fireball or whatever will mess you up… Tekken doesn’t have fireballs but it does have some cheap fireball-type motives (like when Jin can now make his fists stronger so he does more damage while everone else, ‘cept Hei, can’t do it…). But still. I like Tekken better…
