Just like how in Street Fighter, low kick, low kick, sweep kick is a basic combo. And that's cute and all, but it's all about controlling your opponent by using simple combos as starters to mess up their guard, and then finishing the combo with flashy/powerful moves for maximum damage, or in the case of Tekken, starting up ANOTHER combo.
Also, Virtua Fighter is a GREAT series. It doesn't hold a candle to Tekken imo but it's still fun to go to if you're looking for realistic fighting. Virtua Fighter focuses more on simplicity and making the moves in-game look like they hurt, rather than flashy stuff. VF is obviously not for everyone but it's fairly legit in itself.
