Really big ehhhhh

VF never had that "it" that the other fighting games had. Their gonna need more interesting character designs


But hey maybe they can pull it off.. there are only what 2-3 other 3d fighters.
I'm a little concerned. Fighting games already were eSports friendly but a fighting game made specifically for eSports sounds like a problem.

Games just become esports games because their popular enough...

Yu Suzuki is stuck in the past. Shenmue 3 felt dated as hell. Doubt this will be any different.

VF was always too slow and clunky for me. Tekken, Souls Calibur, and Dead or Alive are much better 3d fighters
VF's animation is much more life like than any of those games, Tekken is close, but nah.

Check this whole playlist out

VF's movement makes the most sense in 3D fighting, those other titles are full of fukkery (which people enjoy) but when it comes to eSports I can see why they felt VF would work in that arena.

Probably means

Free to play or continual support aka seasons like fortnite and apex legends or titles like dota and league.

As well as heavy focus on net play and online tournaments.

For a 10yr old game this looks amazing :whoo:
