Virtua Figher surpassed Tekken as the best martial arts sim this gen

[Tom]

By "martial arts" sim I mean the closest game to realistic Martial arts fighting combat AKA the closest we'd get to an actual Bruce Lee/Jackie Chan/Jet Li/Donny Yen fighting scene.(yeah, there are a couple insane combos,juggles but its not as outrageous as other games) I don't know what it is but there is something about Tekken 6's hud that I cannot stand, its too damn cluttered and feels like you're in training mode even when you're doing an online or verses match.

Street Fighter, Mortal Kombat, King of Fighters and Marvel vs Capcom are all fun but in an traditional arcadey video game way. Soul Caliber puts more emphasis on weapon combat so I won't compare it to the rest. UFC and MMA games are excluded also.


VF started it, then Tekken stole its crown during the PS1/PS2 era IMO. VF took back the crown this gen tho


Agree?

I am a OG/VF head from the beginning they always had it on lock but Sega are not business savvy and have a hard time marketing their products worldwide.

 

[MidniteJay]

I'll give it that but compared in the fun department, Tekken still has the crown for me and TTT2 is going to crush the buildings on that as well.

 

[StatUS]

Tekken has dudes that can shoot laser beams and Androids with chainsaw hands and exploding heads. It's still the most fun and intriguing fighting title I've played through the years.

I don't know anyone who plays VF.

VF is the most realistic, but that's not saying much, because it's a videogame/fighting game.

Some of Kage's moves are ridiculous

Tekken is more accessible and has more flash so it's more popular.

It makes sense because at the end of the day it's a fighting game.

It's not like an MMA game or one of those boxing games.

It's more realistic than Soul Calibur and Tekken but it's really not saying much when you have a ninja in the roster who has a 10 foot throw and an izuna drop.

VF is the GOAT.

 

[Deezay]

Tekken Tag coming in with 60 fighters on the Roster

 

[usopp]

[Black_Jesus]

Man you got that fukked up... Virtua Fighter faded in obscurity long ago... shyt is super whack compared to Tekken..

 

[Tic Tac T O]

my love for VF always stemmed from the fact it felt like playin a kung fu movie. The good ones not the wacky fantasy shyt with wire and whatnot.

Tekken is great too, I just hate how sidestepping isnt as effective as some other 3D games so most matches feel like a 2D game

This. Also, VF5FS's juggle system is now almost exactly like Tekken's now that it has the ground bound implemented. True, you don't fly/float as high in VF as you do in Tekken, but you still can get the same level of damage and hits in during juggles so...

It is what it is tho.
