Tekken 4 or Virtual Fighter 4

EfaustuS9 · 21st July 2003, 14:23

So I finally procured myself a PS2 buying into this next generation. Now the focus is on which games to accompany such a system. I already did a bit of independent research as to which system had the most games of most appeal, hence the PS2. Next question is next gen 3d fighters.I am familiar with Tekken but I hear Virtual Fighter is supposed to be damn good as well so which is it?…...cast your votes and your comments.

of the two id pick virtual fighter, its more fluid, more options, classier presentation, etc... it also most literally fits the term virtual; you can do almost anything you would do as a fighter. they even have designated moves to catch your opponents attack and use it against them, in more than from one angle. also if you wait till august, an uprgrade with two new characters will be realeased for less than 20 dollars. i actually have not had the priveledge of playing tekken 4 but by judging from the parts before it(if 4 is loyal to them); it seems too blocky, cumbersome, pseudo turn based. "you hit me than ill hit you"

i think you should consider dead or alive 2 hardcore. doa draws its fame from reasons other than being a good fighter. however it seems to me like its somehow the most feaseble presentation of humans fighting, it is also very smoth and fluent. even if its characters are shallow and cartoony. (++ its cheaper, and fun to look at)

other wise i havent had the priveldge of playing many fighting games as of late. the best fighting game ever is smash bros.

thanks for the input ......., have since rented VF 4 and played a friends copy Tekken 4. My impressions are that though T4 aesthetics trump VF4, though VF4 has a considerable amount of depth. Unlike T4 you cant just pick it up mash buttons and be decent, you have to actually learn how to play. Also VF4 has some one player appeal in that you can build up on a character. But the jury is still out, I might just wait until I can try DOA2 or Soul Caliber 2.

I have played DOA3 on the xbox which is the most gorgeous fighter I have ever seen, game play aint so bad either. (No Xbox no DOA3)
