It's impossible. How would you do For side gard side throws different bounces differents stunts staggers different wall effects..? The frame data etc. etc..VF is too deep for tekken. And honestly .. Mixing a more realistic game based on traditional martial arts with farting Bears and weird designs (some are good but some are really ridiculous or Ugly..) would be a mistake. VF doesn't need anything but Vf. No need cheesy stuff to atract casuals. Just VF5 Patchinko Slot STORY MODE for casuals and crazy realistic graphics. Like AM2 always did at the time.

The arguments over Virtua Fighter vs Tekken in these comments is so stupid. Both are engaging games for their own reasons. VF leans more into realism while Tekken is more about fantasy theatricality. Neither approach is wrong. Both series have an important legacy, but Tekken was ultimately able to be more financially successful because the PS1 and PS2 sold better than the Saturn and Dreamcast which isn't VF's fault. I don't even play these games and I can figure that out. C'mon people

[@magma369]

Your right!!!! I played the hell out of VF2 on The Saturn. Then I brought the PlayStation because it was a serious gamer system. Saturn had alot of 2d and arcade games. PS had everything you could want. I played Tekken2 but I thought VF was the better game. Tekken 3 went to a whole new level and im glad I chose PS. I still love the Saturn to this day.

[@nybethobdilord6912]

Depends on the game. In general Korea dominates a lot of competitive scenes in various genres. Tekken, Starcraft and League of legends are their most known ones.

[@RESNone208]

Ty Lewis a big reason why Japanese and Korean players are usually so much more successful is that certain games release as much as 2 years+ earlier on arcade in those countries. So aside from the greater cultural significance and whatnot, they’re actually 2 years ahead of everyone else experience-wise a lot of the time. Like you said, though, it depends on the game - and I think the arcade situation is largely why.

[@XX-ep5xt]

Because in Japan Arcades still exist, this game is from 2006 so you know no one is playing it in the states but in Japan it's probably chilling in an arcade getting touched every so often allowing Homestay to get some practice.

[@taylorbee4010]

Vf is so fun and nobody plays it..

[@OilFreeFeathers]

That's because Virtua Fighter is irrelevant. Similar to DOA, everything that these 3D martial arts fighters were setting out to do, Tekken has always done it better. And with VF5's dated visuals, janky animations, and cheap stock sound effects, it's an incredibly lame and boring game to watch as a spectator. Playing for nostalgia is one thing, but both Sega and Koei Tecmo have absolutely no place in the competitive fighting game scene anymore.

Nah I don’t think so. This gameplay is alot closer to a tekken or a soul calibur than a sports fighting sim like Fight Night.

It makes me think Tekken is a easier game after trying the game.

[@pluffcrock3438]

how is it more technical than tekken?? seriously i've never played it but people keep saying "technical" "deeper" "advanced"... without saying anything about the game but i still don't understand what's better than tekken

[@ReCharredSigh]

+pluff crock Some possible reasons vf is deeper than tekken: -throws are far more viable in vf than tekken which means throw/strike mixups are deadlier; in high level tekken, if you can see which arm is extended further, you know which throw to break (which is why throws rarely connect in high level tekken). In comparison, in vf, throws are the fastest moves and have numerous ways to break, however, they can’t throw an opponent out of a strike (even if they input an attack on the next-to-last frame before a throw occurs), so if you honestly believe your opponent is going for a throw, you can go all in for a launcher, but it’s high risk because you have a high chance of being counterhit if you guess wrong. -input windows are much higher in vf than tekken, which means more time to buffer moves; less likely to lose because you knew which move to do, but didn’t do it fast enough. -dodges (or sidesteps) work far better in vf; if you input dodge after your opponent attacks, you will get a successful dodge that covers a lot of ground and is quick. If you input dodge before your opponent attacks (or doesn’t attack at all), you will get a slow dodge that doesn’t dodge anything and is vulnerable to attack. This means that as an attacker, if you know your opponent is going to dodge, you don’t have to beat them by doing a move that can’t be dodged (like a sweep); just delay your attack, and it’ll force the slow dodge, and you’ll hit them. But if the defender knows you’re going for a delayed attack, instead of dodging, they can try to attack right away, and it’ll counterhit you, etc. -the block button in vf allows you to clear the engine of any possible input. Which enables you to do different moves after a string much faster. Example. If you have a character who has a f+p,p string, if you want to do 2 f+p’s in a row instead of f+p,p, you can do f+p, press block immediately, and then you can do the 2nd f+p right away once you can move. In tekken however, if you do f+p, you’ll have to wait a little longer so the engine no longer thinks you’re doing the 2nd move to be able to do f+p again. The block button also allows you to buffer moves out of blockstun a lot easier. -backdashes are far less abusable in vf compared to tekken. It seems that if you want to get good at tekken that you’ll need to be able to korean backdash cancel really well repeatedly. It’s far less likely that you’ll need to string together numerous movements in vf (because you can’t escape stuff with backdash cancels as easily in vf), and your left wrist and fingers will probably thank you for it. -vf also has this thing in vf5 where moves when blocked when the opponent is turned to the side gives better frame advantage to the attacker; this encourages them to keep attacking. I say all this not to downplay tekken; i think tekken’s a wonderful fighting game. But i personally prefer vf over tekken. High level tekken’s a lot more movement-heavy and less throw-viable, and moves that crush in tekken tend to beat out a lot more stuff compared to vf, which not only makes it less deeper than vf, but less entertaining to watch.

[@pluffcrock3438]

in tekken at high level throws are used to change position when they're skipped based on which throw you use, you have to know how to sidestep every move (some moves can only be avoided to the left or right side of your character) and the backdash cancels are used to avoid low range moves and reduce your opponent's choice and avoid clean hits (some moves that are stronger on close range) and the fact that you can't cancel the recovery in between strings forces you to know exactly when your character recovers in every situation. anyway thank you, you're one of the few people who's not like "virtua fighter is better!!" without explaining why

[@ReCharredSigh]

Thx for replying, but IMO every one of your explanations for tekken also applies to vf as well. So it’s not like the things you explained are unique to tekken over vf. I just personally believe vf does those things better than tekken. Also, when I said you can use the block button in vf to cancel strings, I don’t mean it shortens the recovery from -6 to -4 with the block button. I mean that the engine no longer expects you to do the next move, so you can do whatever you want w/o fear of triggering the next move in the string. Like you know how super-delayable devil jin’s b,f+2,1,2 is? Every string in vf is more-or-less like that, but you also have the freedom to press block after any of the moves to do w/e you want. Like if you wanted to do a frame-perfect immediate EWGF after b,f+2,1 with devil jin, it’d be much harder under the tekken engine without triggering the last hit of the string. Under the vf engine, with the block-cancelling and longer input buffer, it’s much easier. Anyways, at the end of the day, ppl play the fighting games they like not because they’re “deeper” or “more balanced,” but bc they feel “fun” to them. That’s the honest truth nobody admits; they just wanna sound like they’re smarter and know better. That’s why a lotta ppl still love playing umvc3 even though it’s got so many issues. The ppl who like vf say it’s more balanced and deeper, but that’s also b/c it feels more fun to them. Nobody wants to play a balanced, deep fighter if it isn’t fun.

8:01. Fuzzy (I hate that name) is not about blocking low, it's about ducking high while blocking mid. On contrary to what the black kid said, trying to catch the ducking state with a low throw is not a real or viable tactic. at 10:00 they inaccurately say "caught the fuzzy" when Homestay was simply thrown because he stood still. 8:48 Jean doesn't have a guard break move. (*-->*k is stagger not GB). etc. I could go on. 11:21"which is what he just did" is just incorrect and pretentious. 12:02 "Jeans back throw is weird because its a forward motion but still back", stupid again throws are defined by final directional input no matter what the animation.

SEGA barely talks about VF outside of JP nowadays, it's almost like if they wanted people to forget about it which is sad.

[@thesch2867]

@@PyroInferno110 Yeah that'd be cool, although highly unlikely. Cinematic fighting games with supers are all the rage right now. I bet most companies wouldn't dare to make a game this grounded nowadays "unless it's an MMA sports title" not even SEGA. Ports of Virtua Fighter games on pc would probably be the best bet but even then SEGA isn't sure about it.

[@PyroInferno110]

@@thesch2867 i partially agree since lets take tekken for example, some people in the community really wish it could go back to the old tekken where they had no armor attacks or rage arts or rage drives (i think they are pretty cool tho lmaooooo and fair in a way), but i definitely understand where you are coming from

I see why some people say this game is better then Tekken. I always thought that this game was part of DOA, but now since I'm watching gameplay the fighting is so smooth. I hope they make a new one so I can hop on this game. Right now my main game is tekken.

ZeroHyperGaming it should not be a story mode then, only gameplay

[@djhero0071]

You can't have TEKKEN without a batshit story mode though.

[@etrotm12thebluewolf15]

Then you should play Virtua Fighter 2 VS Tekken 2 for Kega Fusion. Though you may not like it.........

[@kensan4391]

Only if Harada ask to borrow a character from DOA or VF 😐

[@etrotm12thebluewolf15]

Ken San Its possible with Virtua Fighter, but DOA? Thats not happening. Harada and Itagaki HATE each other and their games SO MUCH, they dont want Tekken and DOA to crossover ever. I wish they would too, because a Tekken VS Dead or Alive or a Dead or Alive VS Tekken would be AMAZING.

[@maycoc.9107]

love this game, great seeing it on a grand stage.

Homestay is a tank. Jesus, the dude's skill is amazing. Plus the fact that Akira is not an easy character to play with, yet he made it look like he's a super easy character. Just how moved and responded to any attack.

[@knee1937]

It’s kinda sad how this franchise is on its last leg (unless they’re secretly developing VF6) and it still can’t catch a break with the whole Tekken comparisons. It’s like impossible to have a conversation about VF without mentioning Tekken. As a Tekken player and having played VF occasionally, the VF franchise needs to do a 180 with VF6 just like SC6 and DOA6 (the marketing from Create-A-Soul and revamp of SC6 and the slight redemption of fanservice and polishness of DOA6) VF6 needs to be more flashy with its aesthetics while staying faithful to the franchise and also improve more on customizability and go all out with offline content.
