Exactly, I stopped playing tekken for 3 weeks coz I f**** got frustrated at yaksa. I needed a little break so played soul caliber and its actually pretty fun!
2D feels unsatisfying if you already play 3D imo, also landing attacks in 3D games seems to have more crunch and causes approprite stagger and other physical effects depending on the move that lets you know you can follow up for a combo, where in 2d games it seems more turn based
@@Apostolis444 I don't think so, I can literally smash buttons in TK like in Dead or Alive on some chars, but I can't smash buttons on ANY soul calibur chars, their moves really need combining buttons, precision and weapons knowledge, unlike just ppkp like TK
Phạm Lê Hoàng Anh lol long ass combos are way complicated in tekken than in soul calibur. And in tekken 7, no such thing as ring out which i find cheap lol
I'm late to the party, but I just bought SC after having played every other fighting game out there, including Tekken, and it feels like I finally found a fighting game I actually enjoy. Just wanted to share why I seem to prefer SC over Tekken: 1. The characters of SC are much more appealing to me, even if Tekken has some cool characters like King, etc. 2. All the characters are and look unique, and have an extra level of uniqueness because of the different weapons. 3. The soundtrack of SC is epic and brilliant, I enjoy it a lot. Tekkens soundtrack didn't captivate me much, even though I can say objectively that it has many great tracks. I just prefer SC style of music a lot more. 4. I'm a huge sucker for more traditional fantasy setting, in contrast to modern/sci-fi or whatever Tekken considers itself to be. 5. SC gameplay is FLASHY and it simply looks cool from the get go. Tekken felt more like a pro fighter simulator, which means it only looks cool when you know the nuances of what's going on. 6. SC has shorter loading times than Tekken. No idea why Tekkens are so long and annoying. 7. I play mostly singleplayer although I plan doing online once I learn the game a bit more. SC singleplayer is enjoyable (I don't mind reading, I'm used to it). Tekkens singleplayer has cutcenes though. 8. Never played SC in my life, but I found the story at least somewhat interesting, while Tekkens story didn't resonate with me at all, and I didn't understand nor bothered to understand what was going on half the time because it required earlier familiarity which the game didn't make me feel attracted to enough to actually look up. 9. SC has amazing character creation. Even though I haven't used it much myself, I like knowing the game is pro-creative and has that freedom built in it. Imagine meeting Magikarp or Sonic the Hedgehog when you fight someone online lol. Just +++ fun points for the game. 10. Having played lots of Smash Bros (the original N64 one), I love the fact that there is ring out in this game. I know positioning is important in Tekken too, but it's not the same. I say all this as someone who only recently started playing 3D fighting games. I have played every 2D fighting game there is (casually) and I think the ones I enjoyed the most were Ultra Street Fighter IV or Guilty Gear Xrd Rev 2. I normally rather play RPG games, and SC did a great job in providing that RPG feeling in an actual fighting game, through it's gameplay, visuals, music, world, etc.
Yhea, but for people who are looking for a really difficult fight han, with more movesets, combos, complex... Tekken is good, moreover is a more popular and older saga.
Tekken is harder because it is more technically complex. Movement in SC is very easy for a beginner to just start playing. SC is not combo heavy like Tekken, either. Overall, inputs are easier in SC. In terms of the skill ceiling, neither game should be compared to one another, because both games have to be played the way they were designed to play. There is no such thing as a Tekken vs SoulCalibur player. I’m not using Korean wave-dashing while you’re using 8-Way-Run in the same match. You are a Tekken player when you play Tekken and a SoulCalibur player when you play SoulCalibur. Tekken is the more mechanically demanding game and that is okay. It comes down to personal preference after that. I enjoy the SC aesthetic more and the free flowing movement, because there is nothing else like it. The skill gap is high enough in both games that the majority of us will never play at the highest level.
No Tekken is knock someone in the air and punch when they can't do anything or knock then on the ground and do pretty much the same. It is a game that makes doing cheap things the easy way and hell even the AI in the story mode do this type of B.S. which makes an an enjoyable game.
@@brianworden7022 Hahaha and when you block their low launcher you can launch them in return. It's a 50/50 like most things in Tekken - once you get the basics down trust me hellsweeps aren't as good as you might think. On top of that, snake edges (Bryan's, Lili's, Drag's, etc) are all seeable which means, by using those moves, they are giving you a free launch since you can react and just block it.
Tekken is harder to get good at. But once you do, its just really rewarding. You just feel you can slay everyone. Plus, getting the timming at Tekken is really complex. However, both are the best fighting games im my opinion.
soulcalibur because execution in tekken is too hard to get good at 🤣,I'm not ashamed to say I enjoy mortal kombat soulcalibur and Smash because they are less technically challenging
@Playa Fly Fan Yes. Especially when tekken takes u 80 years to learn 1 combo. Its not fun at all. I remember seeing a friend play tekken 7 and i never played tekken before. I was so damn excited that i brought the game that day....im still mad i wasted that 60 dollars. Soul Cal imo TOPPLES tekken and its my favorite game on xbox rn
In terms of character roster, content, and story, Soulcalibur VI wins for me... or at least that was what me pre-2021 would say. Now? Neither. Both are awful.
@@Kurotekken Tekken's characters are way more silly you can't tell me a boxing kangaroo and a panda that bowl is to be taken seriously. And no lore? I can tell you never played an SC game before.
@@personaphantom5543 I never said Tekken's characters weren't silly, but it very obviously has members of its roster dedicated to comic relief. ALL of SC's characters are silly. And I have definitely played it, which is why I feel comfortable sharing an opinion on it. I've played far, far more SCII and SCIV than I care to admit.
@@Kurotekken I think even the serious characters are silly in Tekken Jin is an edge lord and Heihachi who looks like a northern rockhopper penguin in Lee's Tekken 5 ending just says it all. Tekken has always been more hokey than SC.
Been a fan of both games since day one. Both games are amazing, actually they are in my top favorites fighters of all times. If you look for an Arcade easy to get into I would go for Soul Calibur, for more deep fighting technique, more time to learn Tekken is the game. I have always own both games anyhow🤣👍👍you can’t go wrong with either.
WAR BLACKJACK Dagon ball xenoverse series allows you to make custom fighters. As does naruto to boruto shinobi striker. Just because CaC is in a game doesn’t make always good. Xenoverse for example has huge exploits if you know were to look.
Soul calibur is way more complex than tekken in many way, while in tekken you can button smashing your way through, soul calibur doesn't allow that, instead SC require much more discipline. in tekken you use 4 buttons : 2 Punch and 2 Kicks and most of the time there is a combination of thoses 2 in soul calibur you use 8 combinaisons of button : (B)lock - (H)orizontal attacks - (V)ertical attacks - (P)unch/(K)ick attacks - V&H attacks - H&(P/K) attacks - V&(P/K) attacks - H+V&(P/K) attacks. added to that 5 directions to use : up or down - forward - backward - up or down + forward - up or down + backward and here we are.
Plus, i meet alot of sc people that throw alot of moves safe or not then have the Op RE and GI to save their butt. You dont have to be disciplined in eithier, but at least tekken consistent most of the time.
I've been a tekken player since Tekken 3. I can say that SC 6 is more accessible to casual players. Tekken has tons of moves to memorize but SC 6 doesn't have that many which makes you focus more on your movement instead of memorizing tons of moves. Tekken is for a more dedicated player who's willing to invest time to learn the character in depth.
tekken is about combos execution and a fast paced technical mindset,soulcalibur is about baiting the opponent into making a mistake and maintaing an optimum range to do damage
I love both Tekken and Soulcalibur. SC 2 was the last SC game I played and I haven’t played Tekken since Tekken 4. I loved SC because of the single player and story for each character. Tekken was great too. I never played them online, though. I get my ass handed to me in games like Mortal Kombat and Injustice. But I’m thinking I can hold my own in Tekken and especially SC. Decisions decisions 🤔
I believe that sc6 got a low budget due to fact it wasn’t even supposed to be a game. So that’s probably the reason there is a lack of cutscenes I think they wanted to focus more on the combat and the feel of the game like CE and RE. With tekken on the other hand it has such an enormous fan base I think bamco would want to focus more on that game then sc.
Tekken has always been my choice of fighting game cause you have to strategize for a good challenge whereas SC can be played by pressing just any buttons lol, at least for me.. So overall tekken is best but would be even better if they offered char creator too but because they don't in this matter, SC is better by 3 points. Imo anyway.
Soulcalibur is for those who want more silliness. Guard breaks where your weapon breaks in your hand then reappears, reversal edge guessing system. When I win a game in Soulcalibur I feel a lot of it was just luck. Tekken makes more sense, and the outcome is more skill based.
Guard break just breaks your block and is avoidable. Soulcalibur is about skill too, if anything it requires more strategy than Tekken which is over reliant on who performs the first killer combo.
T7 is a game with no tutorial and very little single-player content, and it has a huge knowledge demand. You'll have to do a lot of your own research with videos and forums and pour over frame data, and you're still likely going to be absolutely annihilated by most of the online community (which unfortunately I have to say from my limited experience is quite toxic by FG standards). For meta, the two are chalk and cheese. SC6 is a game where the focus is on footsies and movement - experienced players are very good at baiting attacks and punishing what misses, so you have to learn quick what is safe and what is punishable. In T7, offense and mixups are king - it's like playing MvC with only one character, one good launcher/mixup combo can nearly kill you. You really need to know good combos and be able to execute them flawlessly and consistently to win. What hurts T7 here is a) excessive loading, and b) DLC characters tend to have a weird power creep and do ridiculous damage even compared to the base roster. For me, SC6 is the clear winner. It's still a deep fighter but it takes itself much less seriously. T7 is the game for a FG fanatic.
This is the most scrub-a-dub noob friendly analysis of 2 fighting games I've ever seen. "I was pressing buttons, and felt good doing cool stuff like maybe ill win this time".
I really do love both franchises, and will probably play both as long as they keep making them. Tekken probably plays a little faster in my opinion, whereas SC is more about tactics and the strategy surrounding your weapon of choice. You have a bit more time to decide how to approach your opponent. In Tekken, you can get rocked super quick if you're not careful. They both offer great customization, fun characters, cool fighting styles, beautiful atmospheres. It's a tough one. I LOVE BOTH!
Thank you for this video, i was struggling to decide but i sided with soulcalibur before this video because of all the fun create a characters then 2b got announced so i have to buy it now.
I feel the complete opposite with soul calibur 2, I remember being able to pull of 90% of the moves there, but in the newer soul calbur games, the EX timing stuff I could just not do.
I can pull most SC moves but I understand what you are saying. SC in Dream Cast when in practice, the buttons you were supposed to press will light up on the screen. That helped allot with learning how to press the buttons with the right timing.
@@Venus1Star That's amazing. Fighting games as a standard should have frame input timing tutorials instead of just having everything in written form. Even just showing what the move does isn't enough. The buffer system in a lot of fighting games is also very alien across most other genres. So it would benefit a lot of fighting games to have visual cues for new players.
I liked Tekken Tag Tournament as a kid but SoulCalibur 2 and 3 were my favorites when it came to fighting games. Tekken 7 is just slow and clunky.. which is my only problem with it and the AI spamming one attack when you are stuck on the ground not able to do anything is a problem. SoulCalibur 6 has the problem of been made on a lower budget so it is missing stuff like alternate unlockable costumes and weapons that you can actually choose before the fight. now only why to use the characters other weapons and have a different outfit is in the CAS mode which is kinda annoying.. I spent hours making secondary outfits for all the characters. Hell to me DOA 5 Last Round is a more fun than Tekken 7 when it comes to none weapon fighting and when you push buttons the attacks flow together better and the movement feels faster. I like SoulCalibur 6 hopefully they make a 7th game and give it a bigger budget to work with and would love to see the RTS story mode from 3 back becaue that was amazing.
They are both very good, Soul Calibur VI is the best Soul Calibur has been in a long time. I just want to say though, I'm concerned about people moaning about learning a game though, some of the best gaming experiences are based on learning and improving. It's sad to dismiss a game because it's a little more demanding to play..
Have been playing both since the very beginning and for some reason ignored Tekken 7 despite the DLC character hype and jumped on soul calibur 6 with season pass. Very smooth game and fun, i play in PC mostly so maybe that has something to do with my choice. SC6 is stable on pc as far as i can tell.
both fighter is very good but when u want skillful fighter tekken is better if u want more casual fighter soulcalibur is better. i recommend play both ;)
People in the comments are talking about which is better, when it is very subjective as different people will prefer different games. It's not like they are direct competitors to eachother.
Namco made lots of great fighting games I’ve played. Even though, I’m a die hard Tekken fan and it’s a favorite game of mine. My vote will go to Soul Calibur, their mechanics are open for wide combos and also it’s a lot easier to do any throw into any character. In Tekken, doing an throw is a lot harder. Also, both games are great and I’d mostly played the Namco fighting video games than Mortal Kombat, Injustice, & Street Fighter. But I do play games occasionally. I’m more into the old Soul Calibur titles like 2-3 than new titles as my personal preference.
Finally bought both games a couple months back, I was a fan of SC series and never really gave Tekken much of a chance, since I wasn't much into the cheeky part of anime like Lucky Chloe type of characters! I'm glad I got to play both and Tekken can be frustrating, especially since there is no single fight mode in which makes this game harder to master. I'm also shocked to say that I'm falling out of favor of SC due to the new fighting mechanics, it's not difficult just I personally don't care for it!
@@bullseye3054 lol that was way back on PS3. And there was a tekken x Street fighter game in development but it got put on pause quite a while back. All we ever got was some artwork of Ryu and Jin for thevgame
@@bullseye3054 yep it's true. Both games were announced around the same time I think. There were trailers, and gameplay and all that for the Street fighter version but only that promo art for the teklen version. Not even a single trailer. Maybe around 2016 they said development was on hold till further notice. And I'm sure the tekken version was the one most were hyped for
I am kind of in a weird spot where I refuse to play against anyone in any game at this point yet I still play Tekken.Tekken 7 though wasn't too much for me,not enough modes compared to previous games,customization was poor,story mode was too short and way too overhyped.I don't know about Soul Galibur it looks cool but I would definitely not buy a fighting game again unless it's something more similar to tekken 3,tekken 5,Injustice 2 or mortal combat X.
Been playing Soul Calibur back since back when it was called Soul Blade, and Tekken since Tekken 2 (was never able to get the first one). Both are good fighting games, mostly depends on whether you want to fight using weapons or different hand to hand fighting styles.
Cyril Murasaki No. They arguably can exist in the same universe. Tekken takes place in the present; Soul Calibur takes place in the past. Yoshimitsu is in both series.
No tbh, I'd argue 'you need to know the lore of tekken to understand the story' is correct. It's the 7th official game with a continuous storyline. Soul Calibur's story is the same except it's a bit less convoluted. If you pick up a story of any kind mid-way through then it would make less sense. The difference is, SC's story is more like watching Predator 2 without watching Predator. Tekken's is more like watching Return of the King without watching the first two.
I wish Bandai Namco announced from the creators of Tekken “Naruto x Boruto: Ninja Fighter Duel” who will release in 2018 and coming to PlayStation 4, Xbox One, & PC.
I think Tekken is more like a life-long game. Like, most people i know that are good or even kinda decent at Tekken has been playing it since their childhood and has spent years of their life playing this game since the earlier times of PS2. So it's really understandable if Tekken is not newcomer-friendly cause if you're new, chances are you're gonna meet players with years of Tekken under their belt, especially in asia.
@@warblackjack5565 no tekken is older...it came in 1994 while soul calibur 98....it is still even older then its previous name called soul edge which was 95
To me I like them equally. Even though both to a degree are lacking certain content that makes the series great. However outside of the fighting game genre 1v1 the Yakuza Series is my favorite even though all but the latest one are all a hybrid of action rpg, semi-open world beat em ups. Especially since in three of them you can play the full version of virtua fighter 2 and 5. The only gripe I have with SC it’s not a huge one is they don’t have a “rumble” option where your controller vibrates like in other fighting games. Not a make or break but come on people it’s 2021 now. Biggest gripe I have about Tekken 7 well 2 there is no team mode like in all previous games I think that started with tekken 3 or 4. And there is no way to fight against a cpu one on one like other fighting games. The only real option is the treasure mode. All over I’d say fighting games in general my favorite franchises are Mortal Kombat, Smash Brothers and King Of Fighters. Combat sport games Fight Night, UFC and even though it’s not an actual sport WWE games. If it weren’t for Tekken or Soul Calibur back when I was in middle school when Tekken came out I’d have never practiced martial arts in my life before. Both games and the mortal Kombat series got me into martial arts.
I have both games because they're both awesome, but soul calibur story is a digital novel. Hope you like to read! I personally skipped every dialogue and know (and) care less about the characters backgrounds. I just like and dislike at face value haha
Doesn't really matter to me as long as Yoshimitsu in it, heck the spirit katana should've had its own game to show its origin & why the wielders choose there alias name the same as the katana name.
Tekken isn't that complicated to be honest.... There are fundamentals like Block Punishment, frame data and movement which casuals skip that's why they get wrecked online... U need to get familiar with these stuff before learning combos and stuff...
Basically what they said is if you wanna get into a fighting game play Soulcali. But personally it's so much better to get into tekken because after you've mastered Tekken, Soulcali will be like child's play. I'm not saying Soulcali is for kids. I like both games but I like Tekken better. The guy on the left admitted he's a casual so I wouldn't believe his judgement on this topic about these games
Stick with Tekken. Soul Calibur 6 is unbalanced and the online is almost completely dead. People said Tekken was hard. Maybe for the more in depth comboing, but as long as you don't just hammer wildly on the controller and learn basic movements, you can play Tekken.
@You Clown DOA the worst? I'm not sure about worst fighting game series but it's definitely the worst 3D fighting game series for sure even Bloody Roar get's more respect lmao.
My original comment of choosing Soulcalibur VI from two years ago started a reply war. Now I hate both of them equally and choose the Bloody Roar series.
@@lalitendudas9401 2 years ago, I said here that I prefer Soulcalibur VI between that and Tekken 7 since I personally found Tekken 7 pretty lackluster content-wise, even with DLC characters (who don't even have stories). Now I also hate Soulcalibur VI because after completing the achievements... it's definitely not fun to play for me anymore, mainly due to lackluster single player modes. I also find the fanbase pretty rabid and unable to accept criticism towards it.
@@tmma1869 oh lol ok I get your point now. Well I picked up SC6 in a recent sale and since it's very easy to play in having fun so far...but yea it feels very dead now, only a handful of people playing at a particular time only. My friends tell me to play tekken with them but I'm just really bad at fighting games I can onky play lil bit of SC6. Btw bloody roar is very old series no? I remember a lil bit of it
Sc 6 is in my opinion leaps and bounds better thsn tekken 7. The mechanics like reversal edge, guard impact and resist impact. Critical edges are so awesome im going crazy about this game.
Personally, I think TEKKEN is *less repetitive* simply because everyone's trying to do fancy moves/combos in that game, while SoulCalibur is more "noob-friendly" because it's more about movement & the position of your character vs your opponents'.
Soul Calibur is certainly more beginner friendly in the regards of its focus. With it being complex enough to make people think. But not overtly so like Tekken. I, myself don't play fighting games all that often. I played Soul Calibur 2 years ago, and thus came back for 6 and still can play moderately well. Though Tekken is certainly execution heavy and certainly more mechanically advanced. Timing also seems to be a big play which isn't my strong point.
i don't know about tekken 7, but SC6 online is seriously the worst. either you go into casual and search and search and search for rooms to join. OR, you spend 5-10 mins waiting for someone to fight in ranked. too bad i love this game so much. i wish the online was better.
I know I'm a bit late but I really find it weird how that guy figured out that you can side step in Soul Calibur but still didn't find out that can also side step in Tekken using almost the same input lol
I give the win to SoulCalibur VI, no contest. Tekken 7 was so lacking in content, it's not even funny. A really short, disappointing story and then literally 1 fight for each character to unlock their endings, that's all you get other than PVP. Meanwhile, SoulCalibur VI has a longer, better written story, an entirely different campaign for player made characters and then separate story campaigns for each individual character containing numerous fights. That is, with the exception of Zasalamel whose campaign is awful. It's literally just a static, blurry picture of him sitting at a desk with some dialogue to provide clunky exposition and nothing else. Lore is fine but it belongs either in the museum mode or in short cutscenes between fights. I've heard his story described as only being cutscenes but I disagree, those aren't cutscenes. The end credits in most games are more worthy of the name "cutscene" than anything in Zasalamel's story, at least they move. Still, he's only one character and even without him, SoulCalibur VI absolutely destroys Tekken 7 in terms of content. Even the gameplay is better than Tekken 7, in my opinion (although, that one is highly subjective so you might not agree). Admittedly, Normal difficulty in SoulCalibur VI is far too easy but just bump it up to hard mode and it's great.

Soul Calibur 6: Easy to pickup, hard to master

u feel in a box if you dont learn tekken fundamentals properly A.K.A Korean Backdash, whiff punish, sidewalking or sidestepping certain moves.

Both are great titles but Soul Calibur will always be slightly better to me

In terms of the skill ceiling, neither game should be compared to one another, because both games have to be played the way they were designed to play.

Tekken is the more mechanically demanding game and that is okay. It comes down to personal preference after that. I enjoy the SC aesthetic more and the free flowing movement, because there is nothing else like it. The skill gap is high enough in both games that the majority of us will never play at the highest level.
No Tekken is knock someone in the air and punch when they can't do anything or knock then on the ground and do pretty much the same. It is a game that makes doing cheap things the easy way and hell even the AI in the story mode do this type of B.S. which makes an an enjoyable game.

Tekken is harder to get good at. But once you do, its just really rewarding. You just feel you can slay everyone. Plus, getting the timming at Tekken is really complex. However, both are the best fighting games im my opinion.
Personally tekken is my favorite fighting game
Why?
man was sup tekken all day 🤙🏻
soulcalibur because execution in tekken is too hard to get good at 🤣,I'm not ashamed to say I enjoy mortal kombat soulcalibur and Smash because they are less technically challenging
@Playa Fly Fan You can button mash in any fighting game,if the opponent is better than you this will mean you lose
@R.L. Gray im good thanks 🤣
Playa Fly Fan
Wow look guys it’s a high and mighty lvl. 345 smartass nice guy! Watch out! He thinks he’s cool but hot damn is he wrong!
@Playa Fly Fan Yes. Especially when tekken takes u 80 years to learn 1 combo. Its not fun at all. I remember seeing a friend play tekken 7 and i never played tekken before. I was so damn excited that i brought the game that day....im still mad i wasted that 60 dollars. Soul Cal imo TOPPLES tekken and its my favorite game on xbox rn
Try melee :)
Both are best. Dont need to compare please. I can't choose either.
Fuck off T7 is a sell out of a game. Calling it best is a fucking lie.
@@unidentifiedbeing7242 whats that supposed to mean cas in scvi is so fucked.
1 character from Soul Calibur has Yoshimitsu from Tekken
In terms of character roster, content, and story, Soulcalibur VI wins for me... or at least that was what me pre-2021 would say.
Now? Neither. Both are awful.
Sc6 has a shit roster wtf are you smoking
But SC's characters are bland and silly and have no personalities or lore...
@@Kurotekken Tekken's characters are way more silly you can't tell me a boxing kangaroo and a panda that bowl is to be taken seriously. And no lore? I can tell you never played an SC game before.
@@personaphantom5543 I never said Tekken's characters weren't silly, but it very obviously has members of its roster dedicated to comic relief. ALL of SC's characters are silly.
And I have definitely played it, which is why I feel comfortable sharing an opinion on it. I've played far, far more SCII and SCIV than I care to admit.
@@Kurotekken I think even the serious characters are silly in Tekken Jin is an edge lord and Heihachi who looks like a northern rockhopper penguin in Lee's Tekken 5 ending just says it all. Tekken has always been more hokey than SC.
Been a fan of both games since day one. Both games are amazing, actually they are in my top favorites fighters of all times. If you look for an Arcade easy to get into I would go for Soul Calibur, for more deep fighting technique, more time to learn Tekken is the game. I have always own both games anyhow🤣👍👍you can’t go wrong with either.
Tekken maybe better than SC now but the best Soulcalibur game is still better than the best Tekken game.
This convinced me to get Soul calibur 6.
What do you think of the game?
Is it good?
Righteous!
Soul Calibur 6
You can create truly custom fighters in Soul Calibur. Can’t do that in any other fighting game series.
WAR BLACKJACK Dagon ball xenoverse series allows you to make custom fighters. As does naruto to boruto shinobi striker. Just because CaC is in a game doesn’t make always good. Xenoverse for example has huge exploits if you know were to look.
@@Stoner_Street Xenoverse is a dumpster fire unfortunately.
Soul calibur is way more complex than tekken in many way, while in tekken you can button smashing your way through, soul calibur doesn't allow that, instead SC require much more discipline.
in tekken you use 4 buttons : 2 Punch and 2 Kicks and most of the time there is a combination of thoses 2
in soul calibur you use 8 combinaisons of button : (B)lock - (H)orizontal attacks - (V)ertical attacks - (P)unch/(K)ick attacks - V&H attacks - H&(P/K) attacks - V&(P/K) attacks - H+V&(P/K) attacks.
added to that 5 directions to use : up or down - forward - backward - up or down + forward - up or down + backward and here we are.
Plus, i meet alot of sc people that throw alot of moves safe or not then have the Op RE and GI to save their butt. You dont have to be disciplined in eithier, but at least tekken consistent most of the time.
@@30ajgo Both RE and GI are insanely easy to punish bud. Nothing OP about them.
The character creator in Soul calibur 6 Is the best character creator I've ever seen in a fighting game, you make any character
i like having weapons to fight not just fists
i played both. I like both... they are so different. But SC is more closer to my mindset...
I've been a tekken player since Tekken 3. I can say that SC 6 is more accessible to casual players. Tekken has tons of moves to memorize but SC 6 doesn't have that many which makes you focus more on your movement instead of memorizing tons of moves. Tekken is for a more dedicated player who's willing to invest time to learn the character in depth.
tekken is about combos execution and a fast paced technical mindset,soulcalibur is about baiting the opponent into making a mistake and maintaing an optimum range to do damage
Both are fun.. but tekken will always get more support/ dlc from Bandai Namco
I played both games Soulcalibur is batter then tekken Because better offline modes and I prefer Soulcalibur gameplay
Naw
Same
I love both Tekken and Soulcalibur. SC 2 was the last SC game I played and I haven’t played Tekken since Tekken 4. I loved SC because of the single player and story for each character. Tekken was great too. I never played them online, though. I get my ass handed to me in games like Mortal Kombat and Injustice. But I’m thinking I can hold my own in Tekken and especially SC. Decisions decisions 🤔
YOU SHOULD PLAY TEKKEN 5, THE BEST OF THE SERIES
THE SOUL STILL BURNS
The cutscene shown here is one of two cutscene in the whole sc6 game...
it is true ( 2 cutscenes and tonnes of text "dialogs" under rectangular bad painted characters portraits)
Cutscenes don't matter anyway. I just want to play the game.
@Prey Sakata Are you smoking shit? SC is an anime fighter
I believe that sc6 got a low budget due to fact it wasn’t even supposed to be a game. So that’s probably the reason there is a lack of cutscenes I think they wanted to focus more on the combat and the feel of the game like CE and RE. With tekken on the other hand it has such an enormous fan base I think bamco would want to focus more on that game then sc.
Tekken has always been my choice of fighting game cause you have to strategize for a good challenge whereas SC can be played by pressing just any buttons lol, at least for me.. So overall tekken is best but would be even better if they offered char creator too but because they don't in this matter, SC is better by 3 points. Imo anyway.
Content wise. Soul Calibur VI
Jin Uchiha i agree
Soulcalibur is for those who want more silliness. Guard breaks where your weapon breaks in your hand then reappears, reversal edge guessing system. When I win a game in Soulcalibur I feel a lot of it was just luck. Tekken makes more sense, and the outcome is more skill based.
Guard break just breaks your block and is avoidable. Soulcalibur is about skill too, if anything it requires more strategy than Tekken which is over reliant on who performs the first killer combo.
T7 is a game with no tutorial and very little single-player content, and it has a huge knowledge demand. You'll have to do a lot of your own research with videos and forums and pour over frame data, and you're still likely going to be absolutely annihilated by most of the online community (which unfortunately I have to say from my limited experience is quite toxic by FG standards).
For meta, the two are chalk and cheese. SC6 is a game where the focus is on footsies and movement - experienced players are very good at baiting attacks and punishing what misses, so you have to learn quick what is safe and what is punishable. In T7, offense and mixups are king - it's like playing MvC with only one character, one good launcher/mixup combo can nearly kill you. You really need to know good combos and be able to execute them flawlessly and consistently to win. What hurts T7 here is a) excessive loading, and b) DLC characters tend to have a weird power creep and do ridiculous damage even compared to the base roster.
For me, SC6 is the clear winner. It's still a deep fighter but it takes itself much less seriously. T7 is the game for a FG fanatic.
This is the most scrub-a-dub noob friendly analysis of 2 fighting games I've ever seen. "I was pressing buttons, and felt good doing cool stuff like maybe ill win this time".
Lol no shit
lol @ the people who think SC6 doesn't require skill. Try mashing vs tryhards :)
3 Words. 8-WAY-RUN.
I really do love both franchises, and will probably play both as long as they keep making them. Tekken probably plays a little faster in my opinion, whereas SC is more about tactics and the strategy surrounding your weapon of choice. You have a bit more time to decide how to approach your opponent. In Tekken, you can get rocked super quick if you're not careful. They both offer great customization, fun characters, cool fighting styles, beautiful atmospheres. It's a tough one. I LOVE BOTH!
Thank you for this video, i was struggling to decide but i sided with soulcalibur before this video because of all the fun create a characters then 2b got announced so i have to buy it now.
I feel the complete opposite with soul calibur 2, I remember being able to pull of 90% of the moves there, but in the newer soul calbur games, the EX timing stuff I could just not do.
I can pull most SC moves but I understand what you are saying. SC in Dream Cast when in practice, the buttons you were supposed to press will light up on the screen. That helped allot with learning how to press the buttons with the right timing.
@@Venus1Star That's amazing. Fighting games as a standard should have frame input timing tutorials instead of just having everything in written form. Even just showing what the move does isn't enough. The buffer system in a lot of fighting games is also very alien across most other genres. So it would benefit a lot of fighting games to have visual cues for new players.
For me both 😍😍😍😎😎😎😎😎. Together there the best fighting games on the market.
I liked Tekken Tag Tournament as a kid but SoulCalibur 2 and 3 were my favorites when it came to fighting games. Tekken 7 is just slow and clunky.. which is my only problem with it and the AI spamming one attack when you are stuck on the ground not able to do anything is a problem. SoulCalibur 6 has the problem of been made on a lower budget so it is missing stuff like alternate unlockable costumes and weapons that you can actually choose before the fight. now only why to use the characters other weapons and have a different outfit is in the CAS mode which is kinda annoying.. I spent hours making secondary outfits for all the characters.
Hell to me DOA 5 Last Round is a more fun than Tekken 7 when it comes to none weapon fighting and when you push buttons the attacks flow together better and the movement feels faster.
I like SoulCalibur 6 hopefully they make a 7th game and give it a bigger budget to work with and would love to see the RTS story mode from 3 back becaue that was amazing.
Lost me at tekken is slow and klunky. Let's me know you don't really play tekken.
They are both very good, Soul Calibur VI is the best Soul Calibur has been in a long time. I just want to say though, I'm concerned about people moaning about learning a game though, some of the best gaming experiences are based on learning and improving. It's sad to dismiss a game because it's a little more demanding to play..
Tekken 7 hands down is the best, these casuals dont know anything
Clearly this video is geared toward casual fans. If you're a hardcore fan you don't need to watch a video like this.
it's better for technicality but some people find it less fun,simple concept to grasp mate
@@camgan1 this video is for everyone FOH
@Yoshimitsu This still doesnt change the fact that they dont know what they're talking about. Your statement is completely invalid to my point
@@cosmic5368 Typical pretentious Tekken fanboy straight from the bowels of Aris comment section pee-ew.
Indeed both
Tekken has bowling, Soulcalibur should get target archery.
Have been playing both since the very beginning and for some reason ignored Tekken 7 despite the DLC character hype and jumped on soul calibur 6 with season pass. Very smooth game and fun, i play in PC mostly so maybe that has something to do with my choice. SC6 is stable on pc as far as i can tell.
type2red Tekken is also on pc. I also hear the pc version of Tekken is the superior version
Tekken is amazing on PC
Witcher in Monster hunter world, and SoulCalibur 6. He's everywhere with his portal.
both fighter is very good but when u want skillful fighter tekken is better if u want more casual fighter soulcalibur is better. i recommend play both ;)
People in the comments are talking about which is better, when it is very subjective as different people will prefer different games. It's not like they are direct competitors to eachother.
Namco made lots of great fighting games I’ve played. Even though, I’m a die hard Tekken fan and it’s a favorite game of mine.
My vote will go to Soul Calibur, their mechanics are open for wide combos and also it’s a lot easier to do any throw into any character. In Tekken, doing an throw is a lot harder.
Also, both games are great and I’d mostly played the Namco fighting video games than Mortal Kombat, Injustice, & Street Fighter. But I do play games occasionally.
I’m more into the old Soul Calibur titles like 2-3 than new titles as my personal preference.
I wish Bandai Namco made a new naruto fighting game called "Naruto X Boruto: Ninja Fighter Duel"
Sc6, easy.
Finally bought both games a couple months back, I was a fan of SC series and never really gave Tekken much of a chance, since I wasn't much into the cheeky part of anime like Lucky Chloe type of characters! I'm glad I got to play both and Tekken can be frustrating, especially since there is no single fight mode in which makes this game harder to master. I'm also shocked to say that I'm falling out of favor of SC due to the new fighting mechanics, it's not difficult just I personally don't care for it!
I LOVE SOUL CALIBER ♥ MORE FOR THE MUSIC THAN ANYTHING ELSE
Keep up the great videos im loving it✌
Keep up the good content
The real question is why haven't these two series crossed over yet?
because tekken already did a crossover with street fighter. i would love to see part 2 of tekken x street fighter using tekken gameplay
@@bullseye3054 lol that was way back on PS3. And there was a tekken x Street fighter game in development but it got put on pause quite a while back. All we ever got was some artwork of Ryu and Jin for thevgame
Heihachi was a guest character in SC2 and Yoshimitsu is already regular.
@@ShinPepsiman OMG!!! I NEVER KNEW WHAT THE FUCK. i never knew are they going to go back to it.
@@bullseye3054 yep it's true. Both games were announced around the same time I think. There were trailers, and gameplay and all that for the Street fighter version but only that promo art for the teklen version. Not even a single trailer. Maybe around 2016 they said development was on hold till further notice. And I'm sure the tekken version was the one most were hyped for
I am kind of in a weird spot where I refuse to play against anyone in any game at this point yet I still play Tekken.Tekken 7 though wasn't too much for me,not enough modes compared to previous games,customization was poor,story mode was too short and way too overhyped.I don't know about Soul Galibur it looks cool but I would definitely not buy a fighting game again unless it's something more similar to tekken 3,tekken 5,Injustice 2 or mortal combat X.
Why pick one when u can get both?
Been playing Soul Calibur back since back when it was called Soul Blade, and Tekken since Tekken 2 (was never able to get the first one). Both are good fighting games, mostly depends on whether you want to fight using weapons or different hand to hand fighting styles.
Just bought both of them on sale. They're both awesome, how am I just getting into these franchises in my mid 30s?
All of the cutscenes from the entire series are unlockable in tekken tho with fight money. And they're actually really cheap to unlock too.
Bamco need to make a crossover game between Tekken and SC, imo. Nina and Ivy should meet somehow.
Cyril Murasaki No. They arguably can exist in the same universe. Tekken takes place in the present; Soul Calibur takes place in the past. Yoshimitsu is in both series.
@@warblackjack5565 All the more reason for a crossover, or it can be called a 'mash-up' if crossover is too scary of a word.
They tried in SCII with Heihachi, it never happened again
@@tmma1869 He was a guest character without fleshed out background story or explanation for his inclusion. Hardly an adequate attempt.
this 'versus' seems more like "lets just shit on one game" I mean if you are gonna paint negatives do it fairly.
I love both. But i think i love Tekken a little more :p
No tbh, I'd argue 'you need to know the lore of tekken to understand the story' is correct. It's the 7th official game with a continuous storyline. Soul Calibur's story is the same except it's a bit less convoluted.
If you pick up a story of any kind mid-way through then it would make less sense.
The difference is, SC's story is more like watching Predator 2 without watching Predator. Tekken's is more like watching Return of the King without watching the first two.
I prefer SoulCalibur. Tekken 7 is good, but I couldn't get into it because the game doesn't teach you *anything*.
I wish Bandai Namco announced from the creators of Tekken “Naruto x Boruto: Ninja Fighter Duel” who will release in 2018 and coming to PlayStation 4, Xbox One, & PC.
Single player stuff in SC 6 why it's appealing to a single player gamer like me.
Tekken has it to, but it's not as interesting.
I think Tekken is more like a life-long game. Like, most people i know that are good or even kinda decent at Tekken has been playing it since their childhood and has spent years of their life playing this game since the earlier times of PS2. So it's really understandable if Tekken is not newcomer-friendly cause if you're new, chances are you're gonna meet players with years of Tekken under their belt, especially in asia.
Jovi Petra Soul Calibur is older than Tekken.
@@warblackjack5565 no tekken is older...it came in 1994 while soul calibur 98....it is still even older then its previous name called soul edge which was 95
Soul Calibur has the superior mechanics:
1. Manual blocking
2. Accessible movement without “Korean backdash cancelling” nonsense required
To me I like them equally. Even though both to a degree are lacking certain content that makes the series great.
However outside of the fighting game genre 1v1 the Yakuza Series is my favorite even though all but the latest one are all a hybrid of action rpg, semi-open world beat em ups. Especially since in three of them you can play the full version of virtua fighter 2 and 5.
The only gripe I have with SC it’s not a huge one is they don’t have a “rumble” option where your controller vibrates like in other fighting games. Not a make or break but come on people it’s 2021 now.
Biggest gripe I have about Tekken 7 well 2 there is no team mode like in all previous games I think that started with tekken 3 or 4. And there is no way to fight against a cpu one on one like other fighting games.
The only real option is the treasure mode.
All over I’d say fighting games in general my favorite franchises are Mortal Kombat, Smash Brothers and King Of Fighters.
Combat sport games Fight Night, UFC and even though it’s not an actual sport WWE games. If it weren’t for Tekken or Soul Calibur back when I was in middle school when Tekken came out I’d have never practiced martial arts in my life before. Both games and the mortal Kombat series got me into martial arts.
Both. But it would be nice if all the characters where in one game combined
That would be sick.
Yes i rather play that than Tekken x SF.
Tekken vs Soulcalibur would be a cool crossover.
I want a re-release for KOF: Maximum Impact. :/
Ayyyy!! KOFMIRA remaster. i dont like the new one
I have both games because they're both awesome, but soul calibur story is a digital novel. Hope you like to read! I personally skipped every dialogue and know (and) care less about the characters backgrounds. I just like and dislike at face value haha
I like both and been my favorite combo I know both and they both easy to me because I played Tekken tag to 7 as well as soulcaribur
They are both awesome in their own ways. It is hard to say one is superior to the other.
Doesn't really matter to me as long as Yoshimitsu in it, heck the spirit katana should've had its own game to show its origin & why the wielders choose there alias name the same as the katana name.
Tekken isn't that complicated to be honest.... There are fundamentals like Block Punishment, frame data and movement which casuals skip that's why they get wrecked online... U need to get familiar with these stuff before learning combos and stuff...
I prefer Tekken 7 over Soul Calibur VI in my opinion. Tekken was always better
I'ma just chill with Red Dead Redemption 2 until Mortal Kombat 11 finally arrives. 💪
Not a fighting game fan huh, moving on
@@2000Doriyas red dead got fighting in it
@@ThePetulantPanda I unironically love red dead shooting even if it doesn't take much skill, it's like a breather from Tekken for me
Tekken 7 is much better
What About Dead or Alive?
Basically what they said is if you wanna get into a fighting game play Soulcali. But personally it's so much better to get into tekken because after you've mastered Tekken, Soulcali will be like child's play. I'm not saying Soulcali is for kids. I like both games but I like Tekken better. The guy on the left admitted he's a casual so I wouldn't believe his judgement on this topic about these games
SC's A,B,C,D button prompt is imo its biggest problem, that always made me not to invest more than I would loved to into mastering the thing
A,B,C,D? I think you mean A,B,G,K
Stick with Tekken. Soul Calibur 6 is unbalanced and the online is almost completely dead. People said Tekken was hard. Maybe for the more in depth comboing, but as long as you don't just hammer wildly on the controller and learn basic movements, you can play Tekken.
Dead or alive :)
DOA6 is the worst of the bunch.
@You Clown DOA the worst? I'm not sure about worst fighting game series but it's definitely the worst 3D fighting game series for sure even Bloody Roar get's more respect lmao.
Somehow I knew *Tamoor* would be in this video :D
I just bought Soul Caliber VI. Haven't played it since either 1 or 2 so, it's been awhile. Lol. 50% off!
It's Irvin Time I like it I’m picking up any
My original comment of choosing Soulcalibur VI from two years ago started a reply war. Now I hate both of them equally and choose the Bloody Roar series.
What happened bro? What war? And why do u hate both games now?
@@lalitendudas9401 2 years ago, I said here that I prefer Soulcalibur VI between that and Tekken 7 since I personally found Tekken 7 pretty lackluster content-wise, even with DLC characters (who don't even have stories). Now I also hate Soulcalibur VI because after completing the achievements... it's definitely not fun to play for me anymore, mainly due to lackluster single player modes. I also find the fanbase pretty rabid and unable to accept criticism towards it.
@@tmma1869 oh lol ok I get your point now. Well I picked up SC6 in a recent sale and since it's very easy to play in having fun so far...but yea it feels very dead now, only a handful of people playing at a particular time only. My friends tell me to play tekken with them but I'm just really bad at fighting games I can onky play lil bit of SC6. Btw bloody roar is very old series no? I remember a lil bit of it
this video helped a lot
Sc 6 is in my opinion leaps and bounds better thsn tekken 7. The mechanics like reversal edge, guard impact and resist impact. Critical edges are so awesome im going crazy about this game.
I choose soul caliber, less mashy
Sounds nice, but can soul calibur go on sale already?
On xbox for its $20 rn
$8.99 on PS4!
Personally, I think TEKKEN is *less repetitive* simply because everyone's trying to do fancy moves/combos in that game, while SoulCalibur is more "noob-friendly" because it's more about movement & the position of your character vs your opponents'.
Soul Calibur is certainly more beginner friendly in the regards of its focus. With it being complex enough to make people think. But not overtly so like Tekken.
I, myself don't play fighting games all that often. I played Soul Calibur 2 years ago, and thus came back for 6 and still can play moderately well. Though Tekken is certainly execution heavy and certainly more mechanically advanced. Timing also seems to be a big play which isn't my strong point.
i don't know about tekken 7, but SC6 online is seriously the worst. either you go into casual and search and search and search for rooms to join. OR, you spend 5-10 mins waiting for someone to fight in ranked. too bad i love this game so much. i wish the online was better.
that's because only a few people play this game... i love this game so much
I know I'm a bit late but I really find it weird how that guy figured out that you can side step in Soul Calibur but still didn't find out that can also side step in Tekken using almost the same input lol
Side stepping in tekken is extremely slow in comparison and does nothing half of the time. In soulcalibur it is much more effective.
Tekken7
I give the win to SoulCalibur VI, no contest. Tekken 7 was so lacking in content, it's not even funny. A really short, disappointing story and then literally 1 fight for each character to unlock their endings, that's all you get other than PVP. Meanwhile, SoulCalibur VI has a longer, better written story, an entirely different campaign for player made characters and then separate story campaigns for each individual character containing numerous fights. That is, with the exception of Zasalamel whose campaign is awful. It's literally just a static, blurry picture of him sitting at a desk with some dialogue to provide clunky exposition and nothing else. Lore is fine but it belongs either in the museum mode or in short cutscenes between fights. I've heard his story described as only being cutscenes but I disagree, those aren't cutscenes. The end credits in most games are more worthy of the name "cutscene" than anything in Zasalamel's story, at least they move. Still, he's only one character and even without him, SoulCalibur VI absolutely destroys Tekken 7 in terms of content. Even the gameplay is better than Tekken 7, in my opinion (although, that one is highly subjective so you might not agree). Admittedly, Normal difficulty in SoulCalibur VI is far too easy but just bump it up to hard mode and it's great.
