"Is it harder to choose Tekken characters given none of them have projectiles?

Interestingly enough, the projectile thing seems on the surface like it might be a big issue but it really isn’t that big an issue. If you really look at the Street Fighter line-up, probably less than half of them have projectiles to begin with and many of them are used primarily for zoning and don’t do a whole lot of damage anyway. The bulk of most people’s fights will boil down to close in combat. It won’t be that strange to have Tekken characters fight against these guys.
