my previous manager was a big tekken guy, had a ps3 setup in the managers office and everything, and when he found out i was a big doa guy, let's just say the encounter played out exactly as you'd expect. despite our different tastes in fighting games ,we're still friends, but that was my first ever experience with that tekken elitism i've heard horror stories about
that whole, nose up in the air, my game is better than your mentality is one i have a hard time understanding. i mean i love doa, but am i gonna pretend that it's best thing ever and snub any other fighting game that comes my way? hell no, i want variety. Plus even if i did delude myself to believe that, what do i gain? Team Ninja aint sending me a check
The only legitimately mean part of the Tekken community IIRC is the guy running Fighters Generation... but no one has taken him seriously for years now. The rest of the community - for the most part - has matured since those days.
