If they made any radical changes to Tekken, you can be sure it would piss off Tekken tournament players. I do agree with you about the rain thing, though. That's stupid. I turn off battle animations when I'm in a rainy place.
As for the story, I'm going to say the same thing I say whenever anyone complains about the story in any other game. If you want a story, go read a book. Complaining about the story in a video game is like complaining about the story in Monopoly.
