I finally uninstalled this game after 3+ years of continuous play. there comes a time when fighting randoms online just doesn't really do it anymore. would've liked to participate in my very active local scene but i didn't feel too welcome there, unfortunately. you need people you know and can talk to to really enjoy this game because it is so complicated and intricate. doing it all yourself requires a very specific type of person, which i am not.

i don't have much to say that doesn't veer deep into personal experience and impression. anything that was to be said about the gameplay and technical aspects of this game has been said countless times already. i just kind of wanted to commemorate my quitting of playing it, because it felt like a big moment to me.

tekken 7 (re)ignited my love for fighters and after 800 hours in it i'm finally moving on to other, possibly greener pastures. i had so much fun with this game though and i think it genuinely helped me grow as a person.
