After several days in the lab, we finally have a sidestep comparison video. I've done a visual comparison, as well as quantitative testing involving 1320 individual tests across 40 situations and all 33 characters. It's only a small sample of possible scenario's in TEKKEN, and I hope to do a more thorough study next time, but I think we have a decent foundation/idea of where each character stands. Hope you enjoy!
