We’re not talking basic Smash gameplay. Tekken uses the same basic gameplay of Street Fighter (Punch buttons, Kick buttons, life bars, and a camera focused on keeping players on the left and the right, etc.) so does that make it the direct continuation of Street Fighter that high level players are obligated to move on…
