The simple fact about development time has hurt it's sales and reputation in my view. Now being a big Tekken fan I did buy this first day (and then looked around here for other players and threads to find very few).
Graphics are a big step up but then they'd have to be, main graphical improvements are the general flow of the entire game, speed and animations. Character models as well.
Many issues with fighting games are that it's hard to update them, like the other thread I just commented in about how good the graphics are, all you have in them is an arena and a character model. The key to them is the flow of moves and animations, which I think have improved a lot.
Gameplay is essentially the same as Tekken 5 except to me slightly faster with shorter reaches. Changes in a few characters moves and standard moves at that have irked me a little but the game is essentially the same (so still great).
Hmm, pie.
