This is just my observation with this discourse but I think because of how rich the arcade Tekken culture was in Japan and Korea, most of the old heads here don’t really care for the preservation of older Tekken as they treat it as the past and sort of this “let’s just focus on the current one” way of thinking. Past is the past and probably a lot of old heads are satisfied enough with the past series. However in the west, a lot of us were influenced by Tekken crash/MainStreetRyu especially ones that are young but we never got to experience green arcade or real arcade Tekken culture and kinda stuck with the shitty t6 console version at home. Which is probably why we tend to be a lot more vocal and wanting to relive something we never got to experience by trying to bring back older Tekken to replace this current version despite the legality of it.
