Brehs What Was It Like When Tekken 3 Dropped?

[The G.O.D II]

the tournament scene is helped by the internet which was too primitive to be of use in the 90s. the IPs are too niche now to have the same marketshare that 90s fighters had.

What’s your point? It’s still more popular just like every other genre since gaming has evolved. And titles like smash and DBZ aren’t niche. But the fact is there are more fighters now than just SF and MK of the 90s.

i dont consider smash to be the same thing, and DBZ is not an original fighter IP, it is licensed from other media. that doesnt prove the popularity of modern fighting games over the 90s which were typically original IP created for the genre and gaining all their popularity through millions of people actually playing that game, not watching anime or reading comics.

and the point is this tournament scene would not be what it is without the internet making it that way. the 90s didnt have that going for it.

I still fail to find what point you are making and it seems like you are just arguing in semantics

Back in the day we used shoryuken.com to throw tournaments for Tekken, Street Fighter etc

Dreamcast is what put the nail in the coffin for arcade fighters.

DC was the ultimate fighting game console

 

[Rhyme n Tekniq]

I've seen mad fights break out over MK1 and Street Fighter 2 in the arcades back then....


particularly when a uncouth disrespectful fukk nikka with no arcade etiquette would drop a quarter into the machine while a nikka fighting Goro or Shang T Sung

That was an automatic and immediate fight

"here comes a new challenger..."

nah, patna you finna run the fade, aint no match about to happen.

and this was as common an occurence than it should have been too


Tekken 2 is where I had my fondest memories. I mastered 85% the roster and use to clean nikka's pockets in T2, damn good times

But Tekken 3 was dope too

Not even just fighting games either, it was pretty much the GOAT arcade port console period aside from Neo Geo and Saturn
