Coming from SF6, the movement feels very slow in this game

[Desolate Eden]

Im not really a tekken player, but im interested, is it normal for it to feel so sluggish?

[Paff]

compared to Tekken 7 yes it is slower since backdash is nerfed but sidestep is buffed tho so you should be moving up and down a lot more i assume in this game.... Compared to SF tho??? I personally think that SF movement is still more sluggish.. just personal opinion...

[Soul]

Yes,because you ain't good at the movement yet,so you feel slow

Perso in SF you just have dash/backdash/jump,theres barely any real movement you have to input in a string or convert imo,and I've been playin since SF2

I find tekken 8 faster than SF,but a bit slower than 7.
You'll get better at it and will be able to input better movements commands later,check some wavy wavy and side movements on youtube,you'll see you can get faster.

it's definitely very different than other fighting games, but once you get used to it it's quite fun.
Make sure to use sidesteps aws well, unlike 2D games you can actually dodge moves by sidestepping.

really?
sf6 just feels like non stop drive rush abuse. I miss SF back when the neutral game couldn't be totally negated by one dumb mechanic

[Desolate Eden]

in sf6, i feel like i can just jump around and traverse the arena quickly, attack very fast, do everything really fast... (i play cammy) and in tekken 8 demo, i felt like i was playing in slow motion lol, its probably just me

Well go play gief or sim or another slow character, you're playing one of the most nimble, fast characters in SF, it's a weird comparison to make

What you need to understand is that Tekken is basically competitive QWOP, and if you want to actually move across the arena you have to pull various kinds of nonsense rather than just moving backwards and forwards

tbh you go fast and traverse only cause cammy have spiral arrow lmao,her mobility based on SF movement only (aka dash/jumping) isn't that much better than anyone else,she just have "traversal tool" like her dodge and "jump ball" where she zoom a bit the map mid air letting you input something after.
So yeah,kinda a you feeling here.

Its like me saying "wow everyone is so slow in tekken beside king" cause king have a running stance or "everyone attack slow" then you use the fast poke guy.
Like yeah he's faster cause he have that,but the game natural movement ain't slow because he have a unique ability to dash.

Well SF is the same,everyone is rather slow,cammy just have that innate ability to get to places faster cause I can just spiral arrow and use air traversal move rather safely.
Like someone else said play Gief or JP and you'll see its Cammy that is fast,not SF overall.
Like anyone playing Kimberly or Cammy or other dashers will ofcourse be fast.

2d players and their neutral skip addiction

Let's hope it's better than Street fighter 6, even though I have my doubts.

Im a SF player. And actually, Tekken 8 is too fast for me for the moment lol. Why ???
Because 32 characters with crazy move list... So read the game and know what to do, against who, is REALLY hard.
I feel the slow on T7. But T8 omg, that game is so fking aggressiv and hard to have a good defense o.O

They are really two different version of the versus gaming lol. Its about what you love, but we can't really say if SF6 is better or not. SF6 is the classic 2D versus. Tekken is the classic 3D versus. Its about preferences
