i wish everyone would get over the game being made. it's a done deal. just don't buy it, stick to waiting for mvc3, and hope for a ds4 announcement. the companies are not gonna stop production cause y'all are upset. just stop. demand is very high for the game and much to your disgust the game'll do very well. (from what i've read and from what dozens of people have enthusiastically and personally have told me) in fact i have yet to meet someone on the outside, outta all those people, complain or b*tch or moan about it. so, sorry guys. i think it's just you don't wanna see sf character brutalized. just j/k. ha.
but capcom's not pointing a gun to your head.
don't want it? don't buy it. funny thing is is that way more than half of you all will play the game more than once. and half of that group'll actually like it.

actually it's not. demand is high from what i've noticed with peoples reactions towards the game both on the net and in the real world. people are really excited about the game. (well exept on kmc)
c'mon. imo, the 2 greatest fighting games ever made, certainly the best 2d fighter of all time and the best 3d fighter of all time meet, and in each others turf, tag team style, you can't beat that.
street fighter popularized the fighter genre to almost olympian heights and tekken is the closest to a perfect 3d fighting game moreso than any other. every single 2d and 3d fighter look to these 2 games as the standard. now they'll be one. the idea is orgasmic almost.
who wouldn't wanna see guile vs paul or rufus v bob or jin v ken or law v fei long.
but to each his own. i'll no doubt pick up the appitizer that mvc3'll be. it'll do till the full course(s) arrive.

certainly the best 2d fighter of all time and the best 3d fighter of all time meet
I 'do' love tekken.. but 4 and beyond are just really not so good
definitely gonna be checking out the gameplay for these two games.. but I think its already shaping up to be very shallow from what I saw in the preview
na. virtua fighter had potential but it didn't fully reach it because of the crappy console that supported the gmes. and almost doesn't count in this life.
and vf is so great yet they stopped making game. what, the last cannon game in the series was was lauched was 2006, which was the last nail in the coffin.
virtua fighter is dead. and imo, the doa series was better. soul calibur was better. scIV was 10x's better than vf5. and tekken 6 blows sciv outta th water.

I can't agree with any of that and I really don't know where you're getting your facts from.

Just because the series is no longer popular, doesn't mean it's any less good.

never said they were facts. in fact i wrote "in my opinion".
and if the series were so popular they'd of continued it. i mean, why not virtua fighter 6 after all these years, because it'll be "less good" than it's competitors, mainly Tekken. the very game whom virtua fighter was influenced by. it's just they made the updated the formula and made 3d fighting way better, and sf.
i remember when vf5 came out, i forgot about it within the week. i simply meh'd it at gamestop.

"actually it's not." doesn't sound like "in my opinion".
You also mean Tekken was influenced by Virtua Fighter. Not the other way around. And I actually like the Tekken series over VF in general. There also is another VF on the way, VF5 Final Shodown.

VF is the better technical game. Tekken is the noob-friendlier game. Which is the reason Tekken > VF in terms of popularity and success.Probably character designs as well but meh.
and virtua fighter wasn't noob friendly? remember Lau or Pai? it was known that just button smashing with them would guarantee a battle wins more than half the time against good players. ghey.
in tk, if you're a newb or a masher against a seasoned player, you're screwed from the start.
and technically, tk has more moves and is more strategic than virtua fighter is.

and also, unlike tekkens movelist which is just mostly filler with very few actual useful moves.. every single move in virtua fighters movelist is match-worthy
as for it being unpopular.. its very popular in japan. but I dont think US players want to spend the time it takes to get good at it
they are currently at VF5-R, which looks pretty amazing.. and I dont get how just because they're not at zomg virtua fighter 8 final rebellion zero blood means that its any less of a series?
but to be honest, and I'm not even saying you cant have your opinions.. but some of the stuff you're saying makes it sound like you dont really actually play fighting games

The moves in tekken re match worthy too. and there are filler moves in vf. vf is not perfect, otherwise 6'd be out by now.
and that you thinki don't play fighting games is moot to me. i don't play 'em so you can think i do.
and nice biased backhanded compliment about american gamers and thinking we "don't want to spend the timeit takes to get good at" fighting games. thanks. you're dead wrong, because i'm an american, so are most of my friends, whom are also hardcore tk players, and i can tell you, i've, we've, dominated good to great asian tk players on and offline because of the time i or we spent to be really good.
and yes, if the game was so great they should continue the series, expand on the story, make it grander, push it, add more moves, more characters make the graphics look even better. but sega wants to keep virtua fighter at 5 while coming out with regular expansion pak for it. lame.
sega fails. just like them being a console has.
so by your logic.. street fighter fails epicly, because all they did was have street fighter 2 for how many years, with expansion after expansion
6 not being out means nothing about the quality of a series lol..SF3 hasnt been touched in how long, and thats still going strong.. so what makes VF different?
also.. it makes perfect sense to say that american gamers dont want to put effort into it.. its an acquired taste in that respect.. I think if you watch some high level VF matches you might enjoy them.. its not a flashy game.. its fast, its VERY technical (moreso than tekken), and I think its really fun
also I'm pretty sure VF5's graphics may have been a year old by the time T6 popped out.. /shrug.. I forget

no. sega has never had the balls to push the envelope in great ways nintendo ps and the 360 have. which is one af the main reasons they failed as a consle and are pathetic as a games producer.
and street fighter went into a hard slump, their lowest slump in fact, in the series, was during the peak of all those expansions with ex being their lowest point but guess what, eventually and inevitably capcom woke up and pushed the envelope, kept their ear to the floor, took advantage of next gen power and made a great game in street fighter 4 while remaining loyal to loyal sf fans.
and 6 not being out means that sega obviously doen't have the confidence to come out with a canon virtua fighter game cause they know they'll get blown away by the comp just like vf5 was.
and as an aside virtua fighter's not even in as many international competitions. in fact the games presence has gone dramatically down. and it's for an obvious reason.
