No way, Tekken has always been superior, Im not trying to say I dislike or hate Soul Caliber, but Tekken does so much more. Firstly, Tekken has a much better cast of characters than SC. Tekkens combat is more varied, its got more moves for each characters.
Well, the characters in SC have way more personality than the Tekken cast, if that's what you were referring to in the first part. More varied movesets than different weapons? No

Where some characters share the same Style, all theres moves are different, while SC's cast each share moves that are too alike.
Two characters have Katanas, so they use a few basic similar moves. Big freaking deal. They're still unique from each other.

Tekken doesnt have stupid modes like Chronicles of the sword which was terrible. And SC trys to do more than the average Fighter but fails extras like Create a Character , its just carrying alot more crap than good.

Create a character is great. There just need to be more parts for males. And more voices.


And, Tekken has at least gone one step up, Tekken 5 changed the Tekken experience for the better, While SC3 still feels like the original SC. With a few changes that dont really do much.
That's because Soul Calibur 2 was damn near perfect.

And Tekken has had better gameplay, the characters moves look better, they seem more extravigent.
Ok, now you're just lying. The moves look better? Have you SEEN Ivy's throws?

There are awesome combo's which, although harder to pull off, give you more satisfaction than the micro second moves from SC.
The SC satisfaction comes from the mindgames. Fakeouts and delays have an actual purpose.
