The point is when you say "best ever" it has some different possible interpretations.
The best game now, the best game for its time, the best game overall.

Tekken 3 and 5 where great games for their time, Tekken 3, IMO, still remains the most impressive fighting game I've ever seem, for its time, obviously better technology allows newer games to be mechanically very superior to those games, which makes them better now almost by default, but not by default as important or good as those games where in their own time. Do you see where am I coming from?

For example, the reason people say Ocarina of Time was the best Zelda ever was because of its impact and how good it was in the time it released, while it is obviously mechanically very inferior to later games released on stronger hardware.

Yes, we're saying the same thing.  Tekken 6 wasn't a good game, because it was on the PS3, yet somehow, only slightly better than Tekken 5.  Tekken 7 should have been the best game, and it is.  However, Street Fighter V, is inferior to SFIV, in everything except graphics.  I get what you're saying because that was the point I was trying to make.

But, those games were even more liked by people because they came off the heals of bad games in the series.  Tekken 2 was clunky, stiff, and had no damage scaling (or was that T1)  Tekken 1, I know had no damage scaling, but Tekken 3 definitely had damage scaling.  And, again, people didn't like tekken 4, Tekken 5 did a lot of things right, though.

But, who's really going to play those games over tekken 7?  TTT1, or TTT2, I can understand, but, the others.. meh, I don't know.  I mean, I'm saying all of this, and I own tekken 1-7 and TTT1, 2.
