I hope they release more 3d fighting games to compete with Tekken, what they did with Tekken 8 is disguting.
I've never played Virtual Fighter but seeing how it looks I'm very excited to try it. No flying and no low fps hit animations, sounds great.

As someone who hasn't played Tekken, what did they do?
Lie before launch about what features the game will/won't include to dodge bad reviews and increase sales, add microtransaccions for costumes of older tekkens, add in game store with a paid currency that forces you to add more money that the exact amount you want to spend, mtx with limited uses, in game adds masked as free customization items (chipotle brand), add characters from older tekkens as DLC (Eddy, Lydia, Heihachi...), add a paid battle pass separated of the season pass that gives you customization items, exclude DLC content from the Season Pass/Ultimate Edition that was supossedly to include it (Heihachi scenary).
And who knows what more to come.
Heihachi as DLC? Ok, now we're done.
Eddy?! How on earth... I knew Heihachi but... why on earth would they do something so daft :/
They did the same on Tekken 7 iirc.
Tekken 5 still my favorite entry in the series. Sad the older games never got a proper PC release. I played Virtual Fighter 1 and 2 on Saturn and 3tb (on Dreamcast), so cannot speak for any newer entries. At least they do not play fluid like Tekken and do not feel as good to me. Virtua Fighter also was less combo oriented. Again, I don't know how the current state of newer Virtua Fighter games are, but I'm a little bit skeptical at the moment. Really need to test them. And I would recommend you too, so you have the right expectations.
But from the trailer, it looks much better to me than what I experienced 20 years ago lol.
I still bust out my Saturn every once in a while to play VF2. Such a great game.
Wish companies would announce games later in development cycle. Often they announce too early that if it comes out, I'm sick of reading news, or videos shown about it, announced years ago. It feels like an old game at that point and takes any hype away. At least for me.
