Late comment, but people didn't dislike Tekken 4 because of the new look or the gameplay changes, they disliked it because the game was completely broken. We actually had to go back to playing Tekken Tag 1 until Tekken 5 came out.
The game probably had the most fascinating balance issues in the history of gaming. I mean, take Kuma: one of the worst in the game until a 90% damage combo was discovered, lol. (moved him up a few ranks) Another example was Jun who had multiple broken things including an unblockable ending to a string that required quite specific timing to sidestep and could be mixed up with the normal version.
We loved Tekken 4 and the community in London ballooned because of Tekken 4. It was just stupidly broken
