I agree, tekken is easy to pick up but very difficult to master. I also feel that soul calibur was waaaayyyy more of a button masher than tekken ever could be. What was the dude with the nun - chuks ? I would just start hitting **** and this dude would go ape sh!t. glowing colors and spinning around hehe .. i liked him.
But both games were designed by the same company with, what i believe was the general idea of being fun for everyone but still containing tons of depth for the true players who wanted to master the game.
I dont think there is a button masher alive who could beat me in tekken or soul calibur. (maybe 1 out of 10 in soul calibur)
