I used to care, but then Tekken 6 happened and the franchise became nonsensical both in lore and gameplay. It was not until I found a cheat to disable bound and rage that I could enjoy it on the same level as Tekken 3. I wasn't a huge fan of Tekken 4 or 5 either, but more because they were overshadowed by 3. Tekken 2 still has my favorite presentation and roster. Tekken Tag 2 is a combination of my least favorite gameplay elements from the genre, so I find it very hard to enjoy.
I also used to care/love Soul Calibur, but then Slow Guest Calibur IV and Super Animu Calibur V: Broken & Barebones Edition happened. I am still so bitter about the direction they took Soul Calibur V, that Tekken 7's direction is a slap in the face. Also, I feel that Tekken 7: Fated Retribution should be renamed to Tekken 7: Fanime Reimagining to more accurately reflect the product. A dark and satisfying finale to the Mishima family drama it is not.
TL:DR I am just into Virtua Fighter 6 (idea) and King of Fighters XIV at the moment.
