@DrRyanSkelton I think the best part about the RPG mode is it's a good way to introduce a friend who isn't familiar with fighting games into it. Some people get real intimidated by fighting someone who's good at fighting games, so having something goofy and more casual to let them build practice on is nice.

On that note Tekken should bring back Tekken Forces. Fighting game characters tacked into beat em ups/action platformers is surprisingly fun.
