Not Rated: Tekken 7

Tekken 7 is a good fighting game, no doubt about it. It has a well-produced story mode and everything in it is functional. It also has plenty of characters for you to pick from. The lack of a tutorial is a bummer, but there's so much content made by competitive players explaining how to play that it's probably no big deal.

I say all of that to say this: I am a competitive fighting game player, and my favorite FG is SoulCalibur VI. I am literally at pro level in that game. I have taken a tournament set off of the best North American player in SCVI. I judge every fighting game by a standard that is set by SCVI, and therefore I cannot be a fair judge of the quality of this game.

Personally, I'm not a huge fan of how the combo game works in competitive play. The insane wall carry that every character has means that combos can do absurd amounts of damage on a majority of good hits (in SCVI this is not the case). Also, so many characters, especially some of the DLC characters, have insane gotcha tools (Geese, Eliza, and Fahkumram immediately come to mind) that makes it to where learning their matchup is a MUST at any level of play past the most casual level. In SCVI, you can generally get a good grasp on the game before needing to worry about things like that.

Bonus points to the Tekken team for putting some good netcode in their game with one of the recent updates though. Hopefully that comes to SoulCalibur soon.
