Nah. Tekken is by far the most technical. Every character has enough moves and quirks to fill a small country. It can take years to master just one. Try Tekken Tag Tournament 2 and you'll see what I mean. Competitive play is impossible for anyone not willing to make it their occupation.
And for raw speed, reaction time, and frame counting goodness, Street Fighter will always a bit of an edge over Smash due to the comparatively tiny stages that force immediate and constant pressure. Each character has just a few moves, and combos are extremely limited compared to the juggling of Tekken and MK. But the top tier players straight up have to be the fastest thinkers of any e-sport.
