ahh to be young again...
Man, I'd dare you to post this on the SRK forums if they were still around... (RIP)
More like Tekken tries to play like Virtua Fighter, except that it sucks.
Yea, this kinda stuff is such a turn-off.
Tekken, but with the gravity of the moon is how I always saw it.
Well the memories I have are that VF paved the way for the genre and Tekken was basically a rip-off with an absurd story, lighting effects and ridiculous/tasteless character design to cater to a "different and wider" audience. Which worked quite well.
Midori is a known Atlus/Sega leaker so there's a good chance this leak might come to pass.
Not at all.
It's closer to Dead or Alive or even Soulcalibur (or more exactly : it opened the path to games like DOA and SC, since Virtua Fighter is the original 3D fighter). It has a button to block/guard (G), one for punch (P) and one for kick (K), while Tekken was more inspired by Street Fighter controls (two buttons for punch, two buttons for kick, and press backwards to block).
I own the X360 Online one and cannot play it. Are you only referring to the worst version of 5 (deceptively named Final Showdown) released in some form on every modern platform?

This is wrong though. VF5 has the best single player gameplay I have seen in a fighting game with the Quest mode. Which basically mimics playing against real players with a variety of different AIs for every single character and going around, doing tournaments.
It's truly remarkable that they're still trying to market a fighter game as online-focused, even though only 2-3 thousand people are playing it after six months.
That is not quite right. It uses every combination of P, K, and G (P+K is power punch, K+G is power kick, P+G is throw, and P+K+G is context sensitive).
I don't see why it can't compare. All of these are meaty single player contents, simply done differently. You prefer Story based content, this is what I understand. But actually, the Quest mode is much more interesting than a story that will be done once and forgotten forever. Quest offers replayability.
If you play VF by only using Punch or Kick separately, you have access to less than half of the different attacks and combos.
True and I'm aware of that, but still Tekken's 1 button per limb and SF's separate buttons for light/medium/hard punches and kicks are instantly more appealing to most people.
Being able to block without having to walk backwards is pretty great actually. You can also input attacks while guarding, and release at the last moment to press the button that validates the attack... Always found this much better than having to hold back in 3D fighting games. A matter of preferences I guess.
People often complain about the block button because there simply not accustomed to it. Most fighters don't have one but it has it's advantages like being able to move and stop instantly (this is especially vital in Soul Calibur for instance) or buffer while blocking at the same time. VF3 actually had a dodge/dash button too which also had it's advantages. I wish they'd kept it.
