It's cause Tekken took it's spotlight. It's been hiding in it's shadow since the first Tekken game. But at least they rereleased VF5 though, which I'm happy for
@@vDeadbolt VF was more popular than Tekken up until VF3/Tekken 3. VF2 was very popular and was far better looking than Tekken 2 and was more refined as well. Tekken became more popular mainly because VF3 didn't have a home port for like 3 years because it was so graphically advanced that the Saturn couldn't handle it and SEGA had to wait until the Dreamcast. Meanwhile Tekken 3 had already been out on the PS1 for a year at that point.
And it's not a bad thing considering how much deep and unique each character is, the devs of VF gave prior to quality over quantity, and i can only applaud and approve this personally.
Amazing stuff. The level of epic on Virtua Fighter 2 was really something. Surprising that Virtua Fighter 5 R was omitted here - or even VF2's Saturn port, which had different models on the character selection screen.
Man VF2's character select will always be the most iconic to me, VF1's is a close second. But my FAVORITE was always VF4 Vanilla's. Gotta say tho, VF 5 Ultimate Showdown's is quickly growing on me to be one of my favorites.
a lot of it is because street fighter's timeline is mixed like hell. this is the timeline Slam Masters Ring of Destruction Sf Final Fight 1 Final fight 2 Final Fight 3 Final Fight Revenge Sf Alpha series Sf 2 series Sf 4 series Final Fight Street wise Sf 5 series Sf 3 series As for Street fighter ex and crossover games i think they arent cannon in the series.
They need to do a crossover with Eternal Champions. Especially since Sega killed off that franchise to focus on VF (only to end up neglecting VF anyway in favor of more Sonic stuff).

the final tuned character select screen is the worst. there is so much going on and half the information is overlapping the other portion of information.
The series would’ve 26 default fighters (excluding Dural) if Sega Japan gave AM-2 the extra budget and work force for Final Tuned (2), 5R (1), Final Showdown (2), and Ultimate Showdown (2).
yeah tbh virtua fighter should of had way more characters than what they have and also having dural playable im not sure if she is though, for me virtua fighter 2 should of had 12 instead of 10, virtua fighter 3 tb should of had 18-19 instead of 12 and virtua fighter 4 should gone into the mid 2's mark. maybe possible if the budget was right for them they could of gotten to maybe over 30 characters in 5
@@hcwwrestling1001 Adding four instead of the usual two fighters sounds like a good idea, and Sega would've taken a lot of risks. If Virtua Fighter is financially successful, maybe our ideas of their rosters would be a lot greater.
@@6arcsn1skythat true and tbh i always said to myself if they had sonic as a guest character in the game or a main character like yoshimitsu from tekken to soulcalibur. sega would of sold so much money with virtua fighter. it still baffles me that sonic isnt in any fighting game besides smash. i was hoping he would be a virtua fighter type character since vf is sega

I've only played VF4 casually (and even then I mostly used Sarah and Brad) but from what I've been told, Lei-Fei was a lot easier to play in VF4 than he would be in VF5.

I think it looks fine, compared to other fighting game logos though it definitely doesn't make me think it'd be a fighting game compared to like street fighter or tekken's logos
@@patoren3gou653 sure, but to go and make it as the worst logo in all of gaming? That seems a little exaggerated imo because there are other video games that have some pretty bad logos. Plus, the logo of the game doesn't make anything if its quality as VF is pretty fun
I disagree, i've always loved VF's logo, especially for the first 3 games. Maybe that's because i grew up seeing it all the time because i was always playing the games. Even being completely objective it's far from "the worst logo in all of gaming". I don't see how it's even close to that.
Why doesn't Sega release a Virtua Fighter Collection already? I miss these games, they were my childhood, and Jeffry is my king.
YUP now VF5 R.E.V.O is coming...
I like how Lion's hobbies included Skateboarding to Collecting Knives
Yo really wtf?
It's like he used to like skateboarding until he lost it so he collecting knives instead.
They changed it VF kids cause they couldn't imply anything too violent in the game.
Is lion a thug?
@@ColossalKilla but it kept changing until it finally stuck to him having Skateboarding be the true hobby LOL

Compared to other big fighting game series, Virtua Fighter really has smallest character roster.

Killer Instinct has the same problem.

Because while being one of the oldest, it also had the longest hiatus, meaning it hasn't had as much time to grow.

Virtua Fighter 5 R/Final Showdown/Ultimate Showdown has as many fighters as Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike

Missed a more animated facial character selections (VF3 was the last version with such features).
It also should have held on a little longer for each one, since the music is always so good.
I used to play this game
My dad's favourite character is kage and mine lion
Very few fighting games manage to do an awesome selection music like vanilla VF4. The "Stand" theme is just toooooo goood
I've been through every Virtua Fighter and I must say We came a long way
Can't wait for 6!

I'm not the only one bothered by Sarah's fighting style being "Martial Arts", right?
Would love to play a game that had the same art style as Virtua Fighter 1 but the mechanics of Tekken.
I wish Nintendo included these games to the Switch at least the first 3
My favourite’s actually the third one: also my first out of all of them
I constantly forget 3 happened lmao. I swear it went VF1, 2 and right to 4
You missed VF5 R (revolution) character screen
Wow Super Awesome.
Great Vid👍🏻
The style menu is like street fighter 5
I still think the OG VF2's Selector theme is just the Best still though OG VF5 is the closest to the same energy
Virtua Fighter Remix was the Version for PC
Quando é que a gente vai um personagem brasileiro do Virtua Fighter?
Assim como a Leona de KOF, existe uma chance que a Vanessa Lewis seja Brasileira considerando algumas características da história dela.
I kind of feel like VF4 is the best of the series where single player content is concerned
yeah, me too. VF4, VF4 Evo and VF4 FT are the best. Have a look at my channel and subscribe for great VF4 matches.
They need to do a crossover with Eternal Champions. Especially since Sega killed off that franchise to focus on VF (only to end up neglecting VF anyway in favor of more Sonic stuff).
Jeffrey looks darker on the select screen
I do the julia change thing for the end of my vids
I definitely prefer the animated headshots from VF1-3 over the renders + VF1remix's (animated) photo.
