Yes you can (at least The latter). Tekken 6 on Consoles is more or less 6BR in terms of gameplay and content. Namco Just chose to remove BR moniker from the home ports to avoid confusion as Tekken 6 Arcade was not legit(ly) release outside of the Asian market.
WTF are you talking about!? Namco has most def been consistent with the franchise! The First Tekken Tag was conceptualized after 3 major installments, and Tag 2 proceeded in the same fashion (albeit with 2 updates in between, one for 5 and one for 6). The Tekken Tag series is like the Dream Match of the franchise. Oh! And guess why SF4 has dominated the scene during the releases of the Tekken titles you have mentioned... BECAUSE THE SERIES HAS BEEN DORMANT FOR WELL OVER A DECADE!!! The Tekken series has not benifited from this. It's been fully active even during the so called "Dark Era" of the fighting game scene. Just about every release has been a million seller over time (something the SF series has been finally been able to achieve until now, since the days of SF2,Dash and Turbo). Tekken to date is the best selling fighting franchise of all time. That's Fact! It can only keep such a stride going for so long which is where the series is at with Tag2. It also doesn't help, that game was well over a year old in the arcade market by the time it made its way to the home market. Correct! Geluda is SO wrong here. It's actually SF4/SUPER/ the Embarassing AE/AE ver.2012 and the upcoming AE ver.2013.
Don't get me wrong here I'm not trying to suggest that Namco aren't consistent with the Tekken franchise, what I'm saying is that they're not as consistent at supporting one particular entry in the series. Street Fighter IV has been consistently updated for five years now and later this year we are getting a 2013 update. When was the last time Tekken 6 was updated? BR back in 2008? Capcom have managed to keep one game interesting enough to keep people's interest and keep it competitive, Namco have kept reinventing the game and have failed to draw in the same player base. That has nothing to do with Street Fighter being dormant, people don't play the game just because they miss it, they play it because it's a more consistently competitive game. Tekken 6 was released in the arcades six months or so before Street Fighter IV, it is from the same era, Tekken 6 is now long dead.
Yes they do! It's why TEKKEN franchise has gone thru 6 major installments, 2 significant updates, and 2 non cannon releses (Tag Series) since its inception in 1994. Why can't you grasp that? Why not just complain then why SNK doesn't stick to supporting JUST ONE paricular year of its then yearly KOF installemnt as oppose to moving on with a sequel which does support its respective franchise, JUST like Tekken! Consistently!? Yeah rite. SF4, then a stand alone console exclusive update (Super) which screwed their arcade patrons (both Arc Operators and the respective Playerbase) who purchase and play SF4 cab, which then caused to them to update the arcade release with the aptly title "Arcade Edtion", to not only bring business back to that particular market, all the while screwing the console scene this time around, forcing them to update once again (at least with alternative choices, unlike what happend with Vanilla 4 and Super), to once again update it AGAIN immediately became obvious how unbalanced "AE" turned compared to it's previous update and WHAM! We have AE: 2012. And here we are yet again on the cusp of another update with AE 2013. Yeah, consistency is the word. More like milking what's already out there for all its worth. It doesn't hide the fact that many pro players have suggested for some time already that Capcom should (wait for it) actually release a true sequel for the series instead of recycling SF4 over and over. Of course it does. Why do you even think SF4 came to be!? Because there was obvious demand for it after having been absent after so many years! Even without an internal dev within the company with the ability to produce the game, even with an essentially non existant Coin Op Division, The game got made because it was clearly in demand. People wanted a new Street Fighter. Even I did. Alrighty. Well then tell me, what became of that same era arcade release of SF4... hell where's Super... and Arcade Edition (non version 2012)!? Are those still being played competitively today!? Think about it.
