As solid as the mechanics inherited from Tekken 5 are, I think Tekken needs a reboot with a new leadership. The story is a mess, combos are disgustingly long, and all the combat mechanics added from Tekken 6 onwards are bad or boring or both. Slowmo is cool but not exactly a combat mechanic lol.

Tekken with better writers and a Tekken 5-esque combat could get me back to the series.

I like Tekken. What we need is Tekken 9 and then Tekken Tag Tournament 3! But i think it should be PS5 exclusive! The PS(5) conttoller works best for fighting games (Xbox controller is a joke, PC lol, Switch not really). Bamco could focus on 1 single plattform and get the most out of it! I do not undertand why te game went multi... it was always close to perfect on Playstation. 

Exclusivity isn't necessary. Modern AAA games should be available on as many platforms as possible to maximize sales.

Xbox Dpads royally sucked but apparently Series X changed that. Playstation Dpads are traditionally the best (especially for Tekken) but the Tekken community seems to really hate the mushy Dualsense Dpad. I haven't tried it on a fighting game myself but I can tell that I wouldn't like it as much as any Dualshock. US Eddy pro player "Spero Gin" uses an original PS1 controller lol.

Tekken is great but it needs a reboot imo, maybe after the story concludes in either Tekken 8 DLC's or Tekken 9. Tag 3 would be cool but these games don't sell enough, sadly. So it's not happening. Truth be told, I wouldn't mind a new Namco series replacing Tekken and drawing heavy inspiration from it. Tekken itself was originally a sister series to Virtua Fighter.
