Guest characters like Noctis from Final Fantasy XV utilizes flashy sword and teleportation moves, and other guests like Akuma from Street Fighter and Geese Howard from Fatal Fury abandon the traditional Tekken mechanics almost entirely in favor of rigid 2D fighting game elements. Josie Rizal, for instance, is stated to use Eskrima-based kickboxing, but her in-game animations seem to suggest a more basic kickboxing style. But Tekken 7’s newcomers lean much more heavily into the fantastical elements Claudio, Gigas, and Lucky Chloe use original, flashy fighting styles with little to no basis in the real world, and many of the more grounded characters have been criticized for not faithfully representing the fighting styles they supposedly utilize.

The Tekken series has always featured fantastical, exaggerated, or goofy elements, but it is equally known for its realistic, intricate fighting choreography that closely adheres to real-life fighting disciplines. Prior to Lidia’s release, most of the newly-introduced characters strayed away from traditional, realistic martial arts.

The new character, Lidia Sobieska, and her accompanying stage, Island Paradise, feature some of Tekken 7’s strongest designs to date, and the playerbase seems to be content with how the developers have balanced their latest fighter, at least so far.

Several of these criticisms are still frequently expressed to this day, but the latest DLC update has managed to win over many of these same fans. Many aspects of the presentation and the amount of content on offer are noticeably weaker compared to previous titles, and some of the most recent DLC characters have attracted a great deal of controversy due to their overpowered traits.
As critically and commercially successful as Tekken 7 is, it’s evident that many longtime fans of the Tekken series are disappointed with many of the decisions Bandai Namco has made with its latest entry.
