So the ones that own both... this or Tekken 7

[DooHeyKey]

What game do you like more... I know the ages are not even close to be the same, but what game you like the most?

I don't own Tekken 7, but in SCVI you get character creation and a Player vs CPU mode if your looking for a quick match against the AI where you get to choose the stage and characters. I was told that Tekken 7 doesn't offer a Player vs CPU mode which is why I personally didn't buy it. I also like how SCVI has weapons. I would recommend SCVI based on my own preference. However, Tekken 7 Deluxe Edition is on sale at Humble Bundle for $18.74 for the next few days. If you have a bit of extra cash you may just want to get both.

Tekken - Best hardcore fighting with huge amount of mechanics
SoulCalibur - Best casual fighting on weapons with deep customization
different games, so I love them both

But tekken does have story, arcade and treasure battle modes. You can dress up the characters a lot in there, you just can't make a skeleton dude and change his voice to alien. Seeing all those weirdoes online yesterday made me want to turn off customization, ugh.

Why I'll be staying with Tekken after trying out Soul Calibur: (don't get me wrong, it's a good game, but I like tekken more now)
It uses almost twice as many buttons, with dedicated block, grab and clash, where Tekken uses just 4 and all the commands flow from the combination of those 2 hands and 2 legs. Because of that I don't know how I am going to present it to my friend, who is not a hardcore gamer. Half the attacks are half the screen long, which I certainly don't like. Then I was never a fan of some arbitrary meter that tells you 'na-uh, you can't use your magic now, wait til you get beaten up'
Then, like a quarter of custom characters I played online yesterday made me clench teeth. They were either nearly naked girls, or guys straight from the weird side of the internet, to put it lightly.
Lastly, I know that it can be attributed to lack of experience, but in Tekken I always see that I could have blocked the attacks like this-and-that, or sidestep in the case it's unblockable. In SC6, I find myself asking 'what the hell?' on a lot of attacks.
And Tekken nearly never lagged or stuttered on me online, SC on the other hand - did.

for multiplayer systeme and guard system Tekken 7 for combo and easy to play Soul calibur 6

I like Soul Calibur much more than Tekken.

+Guard impact, works well in online for button smashers
+Much shorter juggles than in Tekken, I don't feel hopeless half of the match
+Weapons, 90% of moves are realistic or at least make somekind of sense
+Better customization, I like Cervantes fighting style but hate how he looks so I can make Dante from Devil May Cry, or He-Man, or what ever

More simple than Tekken
In other words
No need to study about this game deeply.

Recommend for Light Gamers

Tekken is inferior for two reasons :

1. In tekken the Combos are too long, reducing the time of actually fighting; and instead just play from muscle memory.

2. The health bars in tekken 7 are ridiculously low; one or two attacks can land you on half health. Even very basic attacks.

Overall, those two factors make it a game less about fighting, and more about watching your character, or your enemy's, get pummelled around for 5 seconds, and then the fight is over.

Oh, and one other reason : pretty much everyone uses hand to hand in tekken.. It just makes for a more stale experience when everyone has the same means of fighting; whereas SC6, everyone has a different weapon, making it feel like a much more varied experience.

False, This post is the epitome of a casual perspective that doesnt actually know much about the game. Soul calibur fights are actually over much faster, a character like nightmare can destroy you in a few seconds and then there are the ring outs.

The true answer is this.

Tekken if you want a game with an almost infinite ceiling for improvement and extreme technicallity with ♥♥♥♥ loads to learn. (ive been playing it for 20 years at this point.)

Soul calibur is a better option if you prefer a less combo based combat system thats easy to pick up with little in terms of execution requirements. Also much better single player content and customisations.

Both games are great and I love both, but as a competitive player tekken is the better choice.

I don't get it how people says SC is very casual compared to Tekken. I'm red rank in Tekken 7 without ever practising frame datas and stuff. I find it's way harder to grasp SC6 and I'm getting destroyed online. The projectiles, unblockables, zoning with very long range attacks, blinking, ringouts, soul charges that makes your combos op... I feel there is a lot more going on in SC6 than in Tekken 7, which makes it a way harder.

[Average]

Definitely tekken if you're looking for a fighting game that concentrates more on non casual play and mechanics. However Soul Calibur is still a lot of fun and arguably has more things to do that isn't online ranked. On the technical side SC6 has some network issues. I get lag or get laggy opponents alot more than I do in tekken, even if I set match requirements to 4 bars. Also doesn't help that I can't see how bad/good of a connection my opponent has before matches, nor do I have the ability to cancel out of them.

I did not buy Tekken 7 to this day, but I bought SoulCalibur VI instantly. Actually, I had lost interest to Tekken series long time ago. That's all.

Tekken is a better game hands down
but soul calibur is a more fun game.

[Dave]

Tekken has got me more salty, although SC also gives me a bunch of salt with certain characters(Seong Mi-Na comes to mind). I think this game feels better for customization and just having fun, whereas if you want a real fight you go to Tekken and get Hellsweeped.

[yolomancer]

Soul Calibur has always been more of the fun stuff less of the boring stuff than Tekken to me. Tekken requires lots more practice and study to compete, Soul Calibur has lots more fun stuff to do by yourself in addition to having an easier to understand set of mechanics and combos and most of what you need to learn comes from playing the game and learning to read other people, so I always end up playing SC a lot more whereas I end up finding a million different things to practice in Tekken and that gets real dull after a few years.

Tekken = "you gotta know your character man"

SC6= "Learn this combo, set it to macro, then go online and beat people"

SC6 is much more casual than T7. for some it's a dumb down for wider audience.
