Tekken vs. Virtua Fighter

When it comes to the two biggest rivals in the 3D fighting arena, people usually point to Virtua Fighter and Tekken as the main proponents, and with good reason: Where Virtua Fighter has gone, Tekken has always followed (and occasionally surpassed). In this feature 1UP break down each series in a number of critical categories and evaluate who comes out on top, determine who exactly is the winner, declare who is the champion of them all.

lil bush7004d ago

if there both great games then why should it matter when you have 2wice the amount of fun.

ApocalypseShadow7004d ago (Edited 7004d ago )

i have both and have played both series of games.it doesn't matter really.

but...i'll admit that the vf series could use more depth in things.the story,and the endings.VF5 has a cool ending,but not for characters.

tekken is wearing out it's fighting system.so they made good points.
i thought the tekken team would take some things from soul calibur or even urban reign.(the fighting is so cool in that game even if it is basic-from namco).

same with DOA series.too much concentration on boobs and graphics,but the fighting engine is weak.the 3d backgrounds are cool.but how far will they rely on superficial stuff?

anyway,i have fun with all of them.but ........where is my street fighter 4?

MikeGdaGod7004d ago

i actually thought it was interesting to see an article that focused on which game was better and not which system. i'm tired of all this system bashing and i wish there were more stories like this, where games are the subject

Bathyj7003d ago

Talk about games, not the systems? What a novel idea. If you run for President Scottie I'll vote for ya. Til then have some + feedback. ;)

grifter0247004d ago

I think VF is a better Fighter then Tekken but thats my opinion... I always thought Tekken was a Arcade fighter.. Button mash.... Doa has weak combos is that what im seeing??? Ok whatever you think... Boobs and graphics??? If that were true we wouldnt have Doaxtreme as a seperate game now would we.. Dumb... I doubt you have actually taken the time and learned the whole moves of a character.. I have for most of them... So if you wanna see how superficial the DOA fighter engine is send a friend request and ill show you .. :)

jpod7004d ago

Tekken a button masher? Then you go and say DOA is better than the guy should think it is? You have to look into Tekken too then. You're basically saying the same thing about Tekken like the guy said about DOA. I've played all three games myself and I have tried to seriously learn them. Tekken is an easier game to learn than VF by far, but it still is a deep fighter. DOA is more button mashing friendly but it has it's down depth too, just it is more newbie friendly. When you really get into those games you'll see how much different they are and how hard it is to compare all there fighting engines. Personally I like all three games, just I like Tekken more because it was the first game I had access to that I had competition to play.

sumfood4u7004d ago

MANY GAMES COME AN GO. IF THEY DO BRING OUT THIS GAME, U GOT 2 PUT INTO THE FUN FACTOR, STORY, AN GAMEPLAY. IT WOULD BE NICE IF THEY ADDED DOA INTO IT AS WELL. OR MAYBE THEY SHOULD BRING MARVEL VS CAPCOM 3. SINCE ALOT OF US ARE WAITING FOR THAT GAME ANYWAYS. BUT IT WILL BE INTERESTING 2 SEE VF=NO JUGGLES VS TEKKEN=JUGGLES AN MAKE IT EVEN MATCHED! JUST MY OPINON THO!

jpod7004d ago

Um.. VF has juggles, they are just not as extreme as Tekken.

Panzer Dragoon Saga HD ?? Shining Force 4 or 3 hd ?? Phantasy Star V ??..................

ZeekQuattro244d ago

Panzer Dragoon maybe. I don't see Sega touching those other ips unfortunately. I at least wish they would do a Shining Force collection that includes SFIII.

Pergele243d ago

Shining Force 3 collection or 4 with 2D graphics will always be my most wanted game.

Agent75243d ago

Please, no RPGs. Sick of all these SEGA games for the Japanese market.

Lightning77244d ago

jet Set Radio, Gunvalkyrie, Otogi, please let it be. Jetset is by far the most realistic one to show up. One can hope for the other 2.

Agent75243d ago

SEGA's game catalogue has been a bit naff after the Xbox 360 and PS4. Stop those Mega Drive/Genesis collections and move onto arcade classics, some which never got released on consoles. Not sure what's happened to the new Crazy Taxi and Golden Axe etc., but the likes of Virtua Racing, Super Hang On, ESWAT and maybe even Alien Storm are due sequels.

FinalFantasyFanatic243d ago

Persona 6 and Skies of Arcadia remaster/port please, there's heaps you could surprise me with, and I'd probably be happy with it.

What is?

Witcher III, Slay the Spire, Virtua Fighter 5, and Sonic Mania are an excellent lineup of titles to add.

Smok911807d ago (Edited 1807d ago )

Lol thanks for your thoughts. Let’s now collectively disagree.

waderae1807d ago

How can you disagree with virtua fighter 5? You haven't played it. It's not out.

Hawk1986661806d ago

All the disagreeing are fools. You thinking adding a 6yrs old game thats timed, that's on sale nearly all the time for cheap is a great addition as the main game?? 2 of the games are previous PS+ games so a lot will already have them. And Virtua Fighter nearly everyone will already have that through plus! You're all Clueless

SegaSaturn6691807d ago

Those are great titles. Real treat.

Rocosaurus1807d ago

Love witcher 3, but that game is six years old.

Eidolon1806d ago

Great great game. Would need another playthrough (Gwent and horse racing) to get the platinum, plus I never bought/played the expansions.

monkey6021807d ago

Slay the Spire is an incredible game

Highrevz1807d ago

Agreed but I almost slept on it if I’m honest.

It’s like a traditional turn based RPG without the dramatic story. Monster Train is another good game if you need something similar to Slay the Spire.

monkey6021807d ago

I've heard that actually. Not played it yet though. Good shout!

I'd love to see Sega bring back Eternal Champions.

BlackTar1872253d ago

Why is there no Star Gladiator or Battle Arena Toshinden?

Terry_B2253d ago

Because the other 10 mentioned series were better. Star Gladiator 2 was just the first part with more characters, Battle Arena Toshinden went really downhill after the 2nd game.

BlackTar1872253d ago (Edited 2253d ago )

o got it. Cause you said those games aren't as good... Got it.

since Battle 1&2 were pretty damn good and Star Gladiator 1 was very good those sound like perfect games to remake.

Also saying a fighting game is the same as it's predecessor with more characters sums up like 90% of all sequel fighting games.

Also BA3 was not a bad game and wasn't given a bad reception.

Skuletor2253d ago (Edited 2253d ago )

I think licensing is one of the major reasons Fight for NY hasn't been ported, since its original release. Def Jam had a poll on their Twitter a year or two ago asking if people would be interested in a new entry to the series. A surprise next gen release with AKI developing it would be cool

Silly gameAr2253d ago

Definitely yes to Weaponlord, Bloody Roar, Rival Schools, Power Stone, Bushido Blade, Darkstalkers, and the Def Jam games. I was really big into fighting games when I was younger. I would Like Primal Rage, B.A,T., and Eternal Champions to come back as well.

BlackTar1872253d ago

Primal Rage was good. There was also another game that was kinda like Weaponlord that I used to really like but I can't remember the name.

Ready to Rumble was cool back int he day as well

Ninver2253d ago

Rival schools and virtual fighters
