Tekken 7 feature allows players to fight on the left side
This is a feature that has been a long time coming.
Tekken 7 was revealed back in July 2014, and since then, we’ve been receiving a small amount of updates regarding the upcoming fighting title. Today, we’re learning the game will finally give fighting fans what they’ve wanted for a very, very, very long time: to start a fight on the left-hand side of the screen.
Tekken 7 director and chief producer of the series Katsuhiro Harada teased a new feature for the game via Twitter earlier this week. The image shows two Tekken 7 arcade cabinets standing side by side showing the start of a battle. What makes the image extremely noteworthy is both players are now able to start on the left side of the screen, if they choose to be.
As a fan of fighting games, this is a feature that I can immediately get behind considering how many physical altercations I got into growing up over this very reason. Most fighting game fans prefer to play on the left-hand side of the screen, although I’m sure there are some players who prefer the right-hand side. Either way, this is a feature that I’m hopeful other fighting games will emulate in the future.

I feel like an idiot, because I don't understand this article. When it says 'both players left side start', and then shows pics of the characters switching places, that's not what I imagine when I read 'both players left side start'- I thought both characters were going to be on the left (which sounds weird, but I thought the advantage was being closer to your opponent or something). Then here's my other problem...it's been awhile since I've played a fighting game, but don't they ALWAYS start you on the left??? Wouldn't it be news if you could start on the RIGHT???
