With so many characters to choose from in Tekken 7, it can be difficult to decide which characters are the best. As with most fighting games, Tekken 7’s roster of characters can be graded on a tier list, which essentially ranks them from best to worst. We’ve compiled a tier list below to help players determine which characters are best for ranked competitive play in Tekken 7.
