A long-running debate in the fighting game community is which title is the most difficult to play. Taking aim at this topic, the Esports World Cup asked numerous pros if Street Fighter or Tekken is more difficult.
NASR|BigBird, NASR|AngryBird, Falcons|MenaRD, FLY|Punk, SR|NuckleDu, Tokido and others all weigh in on the topic, and give a couple of reasons as to why they believe that’s the case.
This is a debate that goes clear back to the 1990s, where proponents of 3D fighting games would often argue that due to the amount of moves in those games, their difficulty curves are more arduous.
Proponents of Street Fighter would often cite the active player base and a focus on controlling space in a 2D environment.
You can check out the video below from the Esports World Cup which has the thoughts from the pros they asked.
