Publisher: Sega
Released: 1995
Virtua Fighter is a one-on-one fighting game that was originally released in the Arcade in 1993.
+ Enormous amount of moves for each fighter, and the slow, methodical gameplay is a nice change of pace for the genre.+ Being able to attack a downed opponent opens up the combat and there's nothing more satisfying than using it for a K.O.!
+ Responsive controls and the game runs at a rock solid frame-rate, even in widescreen mode which performs admirably.
+ Music is outstanding, and despite some graphical cutbacks the game holds its own against the Sega Saturn version (1995).
- Could have used a Training mode, as the number of moves and steep learning curve can be overwhelming to newcomers.
- Rather than immediately transitioning from one enemy to the next, a short pre-fight build-up would have added personality.
- Has noticeable bugs, such as in the Backside 1P camera angle where foes can continually walk backwards for a Ring Out.
