Leaf Leaf New Challenger Registered: 2007-08-24	I mean why the hell does a 13 year old game play so much better than the latest Tekken or Soul Caliber ect.? There's so much depth, so many moves to master and it's all about skill (instead who can mash buttons the quickest). You can learn a great move but it won't necessarily be of use unless you can time it just right. I get bored of these stupid "adventure" and "story" modes that you often get in beat 'em ups and yet I can just keep playing the arcade mode of VF2 over and over again, trying to perfect my moves and trying to beat my best time. So here's to the greatest fighter ever made (though I haven't played any games in the series after it, haha).

THE_WALL THE_WALL Enthusiast Registered: 2006-04-01 Loc: Utah,US	Your missing out you should pick up a copy of vf 4 evo for the playstation 2 it is by far my favorite game in the series. It teaches you alot about the vf game system and how it works in the tutorial mode. The quest mode is a great way to challenge top ranked japanese players without even having online features.

Sound's interesting, how does it work? The thing putting me off VF4 is the PS2 control pad. That D-Pad is utter cack and makes the average beat 'em up a painful experience.

GodEater GodEater Pooh-Bah Registered: 1999-09-12	It is a fake. Quest mode just tweaks up the difficulty of the AI and tells you that you're fighting Chibita or Kyasao. Gamepad does suck for fighting games, I don't know how people play on them. VF2, by the way is a great game. so broken but broken in such a way that almost every advantage given had a counter. I love that game. GE _________________________ Random Shoutbox snippet: [Beligerent_feck] probably could could get my mum to have a bash but she'd be worse than my girlfriend

VF3 is still unbeaten as best title of the series in my opinion. _________________________ Leonard McCoy's Goh Notes MOST RECENT: Myke’s OM-Cancel Trick <> Modding the HORI EX2 – with Genuine Arcade Parts

GodEater GodEater Pooh-Bah Registered: 1999-09-12	eh, the only real exploit that didn't have an out was senbon rush with Akira and most people didn't resort to it. VF3TB is an excellent game. VF2 and it jockey for position all the time.

Yupa Yupa Old Hand Registered: 2001-09-26 Loc: Rhode Island XBL GT: Yupa VFDC	I miss reversal jams... VF2 had some fun bugs. VF2 is a simpler game, very much rock-paper-scissors. The later versions offer more options in certain situations... I don't always know if that's a good thing. _________________________ Game Experience May Change During Online Play
