This game is an absolute high point for the series. I can't think of a tekken game since that fired on all cylinders like this. The improvement in the character models alone from tekken 2 is a massive step up. It is really great work for the original Playstation. One of the best fighting games of the era.

All of that said, I don't like the gameplay loop of trying to find an opening and exploiting it to do really long combos. I like games that have a more rock-paper-scissors strategy to them. Games like this feel like having to take piano lessons to get good.
