Back in the day I was always impressed with Tekken’s graphics, but it never felt as good as Virtua Fighter. I think VF made even better use of 3d space, and also added interesting environment interactions. So thats where all my quarters went.

So many weird fighting game franchises: of course Tekken, Soul Calibur, DoA, King of Fighters/Fatal Fury, even the Street Fighter and Mortal Kombat juggernauts are pretty freaking weird. And that’s just scratching the surface. But that’s part of what makes them so dang fun.
