Virtua Fighter vs Tekken

What Virtua Fighter has over Tekken and Vice Versa?
People,let your words to be heard!

 

Useless topic that has been done before.

Nothing good will come out of it, since all debates of these kind inevitable take their base in ignorance of what one or both games is really like.

 

VF > Tekken .....In every aspect

 

I love Virtua Fighter because of it´s realism.Of course VF has Air combos too,but what would fighting game be without them...at least VF doesn´t have supernatural humans!VF doesn´t need Ending animations,mini games or other crab to be good game,because idea of the fighting game is to fight,not to bowl,or adventure with devilhuman!I repeat,VF shines in it´s realism (exept Kage-Maru´s 10-feet toss!) and that´s what good fighting game should be!

 

They are both good in their own ways. Tekken has a great fighting system that I have been playing just as long as Virtua Fighter. VF is much more technical and challenging. So most of my friends cant just pick up and play it unlike Tekken. Like I've said before, I'm the only one of my friends who really plays fighters and to get my friends to play we need something where they can win sometimes.

Tekken is very deep though, with tons of moves for each character. I absolutely love it, and it will always be my 2nd favorite fighter. Taking a back seat to VF of course.

 

play both. they're two completely different games. is one better than the other? or are you just better at one than the other? doesn't even matter.

while you're at it, play soul caliber, street fighter, king of fighters, dead or alive, mortal kombat, marvel vs capcom, tobal....whatever. hell, play killer instinct for shit's sake.

fighting games. word.

 

I play tekken alot so i fit this topic well. I play it alot with like over 1000 matches online. But I feel VF is better than tekken as I can immediately tell how much depth the game has. Also VF feels more fluid then tekken though. Just putting my opinion out there though. Tekken is fun to me though just vf is the more in-depth which makes it better to me.


And yea i play any of those fighters above me except MK.

 

Its all apples and oranges VF friend. Oki and juggles plays a big role in tekken. while my experience in vf shows a big technical aspect on actual fighting. However movement plays a more important role in Tekken. Korean back dash for example, is hard to master and must be practiced for a long time too get the maximun speed in movement. (check out evo champ Arario) Ive noticed you cant be ramdon too win in VF since the has no crush system I could go on and on

 

So if u like the danger in losing 80% of ur life from a random juggle Tekken is for u. If like a technical stategic fighting game choose VF. However I love the danger tekken offers and its asshole players Ive come to know personally. When I played VF4 evo at the arcades the players seemed more respectful. This just my observation

 

This is my personal opinion as I've played both a lot. Everyone who hasn't shouldn't talk or compare the games. Using value words like "technical" or "strategic" fighter doesn't mean much imo.

What I like about Tekken:

Gameplayspeed
Comboexecution (hate that VF5 has dumbed down combos)
Movement options / Midrangegame
Okizeme more varied and hence can be more fun
Great reactiontesting constantly
Certain characters just feel so much fun to play

What I like about VF:

Better gameplaybalance, no retarded + on block on everything or uncounterable moves that take half your hp at least. Certain matchups are borderline broken. 8f jabs etc fuck up Tekkens system bigtime.
Throwsystem. Throwsystem is much better then Tekken's. When you get to the point where you throwescape on reaction and can guard low's on reaction the risk / reward of trying to attack goes to hell. You're basicly autofucked if you play tekken offensivly.
Delay - delay's have a real, easy felt, function and is used constantly in highlevel VF gameplay. It's fun and linked to fuzzy's role.

No random whiffs due to angles etc or illogical things happening all the time due to hitboxes like in tekken.


VF is about making correct guesses, Tekken is about minimizing your misstakes.

Both are GREAT games though *^____^*

Oh yeah, this topic has been done to death so now I'm going to punch myself for even writing this post.

 

Topic:

Bushido Blade, maybe Time Killers, throw in ONE MUST FALL 2097.

Dumbed down combos? Open, Closed, Weight Dependent (with variations!).

No Random whiffs? Okay, they're not random in VF, but some moves have fucking insanely small hitboxes, and since they made characters with varied heights (i.e. Jeffry V. Elieen), tons of mids are whiffing against high crushing attacks.

PM Sebo for a vote! Close this thread! CLOSE THIS THREAD! (does the Bill Clinton thumb-jab)

 

Topics been done to death with VF vs Tekken vs DoA.Everyone has their preferences but most people who play each game extensively usually has their own reasons.

Now lets get this out of the way heres the typical statements you usually see in these 3d fighter versus threads.

Tekken:
Not balanced enough
Masher friendly
Juggle system is overdone
Ground game is overdone
Evade system is crap
Mishimas too powerful
Not enough gameplay updates
<s>No online play</s>

DoA:
Too easy to "master"
Not enough depth
Crappy character design
Interactive stages take away from the fight
Masher friendly
Counter system too easy
Major online lag
Balance issues

Virtua Fighter:
Too slow
No story and cutscenes
Crappy voice overs
Boring characters
Boring presentation
Too hard to learn
No one plays it
<s>No online play</s>

 

Virtua Fighter:
Too slow
No story and cutscenes
Crappy voice overs
Boring characters
Boring presentation
Too hard to learn
No one plays it



I love how these factors are considered negative when trying to decide the BEST fighting game....

-No story or cut scenes, because when i want an all out brawl the instigation and motive for the start of the fight is necessary. Also character past and future is something I don't care for either with this topic. Its a fighting game, the focus and desire to know more about your character should be in his list of moves and how you can master them!

-Crappy Voice Overs, wtf? read above

-Boring Presentation, in what way does VF5 do this? It has the best graphics in a fighting game to date!

-Too hard to learn, yeah I want a super easy game so i can go at it with 12 year olds.

-Too Slow, this one is a classic reason that makes me want to punch a dude every time. Its slow if your a complete noob. Unfortunately you cant pick up a stick and mash the buttons until you win a match against someone who has played for years. Too bad.

-No One plays, I like to equate this to any elite group. Lets use the Navy Seals. Not anyone can do it, why? Because its a real challenge.

All these negatives are something that make VF great! Its a true fighting game, for people who want a real challenge.

 

? It's like asking, "Which is better: a Kit Kat bar or a Snickers?" They are both candy bars, they both have sugar, and they both taste good. The two big exceptions are that Snickers has peanuts and Kit Kat's have wafers. I enjoy peanuts more myself, but the occasional kit kat is always satisfying.

 

im hungry

 

You wanna konw sonthing funny this is my first post on a fighting game web site. Ive been playing tekken at high level since JOP taught me in tag. Never once have I posted on Zaibatsu funny huh?

 

I totally agree with Auvii!

 

I´m not saying Tekken is bad fighting game,it just have easier learning curve that VF,but is really hard to master all of movement and frame advantages.I have played Tekken games too,but I still consider VF better fighting game!

 

These threads used to degenerate to inevitable flaming fests back in the day. Luckily the fighting game communities have matured since then and everybody generally agrees on that the other games also have merits, but I think its stupid to start these threads still, since it is always completely personal issue what you like.

 

There's a fine line between "elite group" and "pompous elitist scrubs".
