I played a lot of tekken 1, but never enough to join any tournaments (had one heard of any in the internet less early 90s)
But what I remember being very special about tekken was how easy and logical the moves where.
It was one button, one limb and more or less only buttons that controlled limbs involved in a move was used. It was quite easy to learn many moves without consulting the manual because they flowed well with the characters.
This was in stark contrast to street fighter and mortal combat where things were as cryptic as cheat codes.
