I don't like Tekken because you don't need ANY skill at all to beat your opponents! I was playing my friend (whom I sincerly swear I'd bet my house, wife and kids, job, and soul that this guy is one of the best gamers on earth) who usually masters a game after beating it within a day at Tekken and I was getting "owned" by him severly when actually trying to beat him, so I just started "smashing" the control pad and whola, a 50-65% win ratio on my part. Perhaps my tactics confused him. Perhaps he could not adapt or maybe there was no defense against the DREADED CONTROLLER SMASH ATTACK, but I did the same thing to the compter and starting winning. It was at that point that I realized there was NO POINT to Tekken or most fighting games because there is NO SKILL REQUIRED to win. At least with SS2 or SS2-Turbo or Alpha, you had to know tactics.
IMO, Mortal Combat 1 and 2 were one of the best tactical fighting games ever made complete with combos and death moves... And the best part? It required skill to win and skill to beat your opponents. If you had skill, you ruled all - hands down. No cheap controller smashing techniques would work against you, and no cheap controller smashing techniques would beat the game. Yes MC 1 and 2 are where its at!
