Don't get me wrong, there are still plenty of all out, button-mashing, battles that take place but there is also much more strategy involved. This game takes more thinking and planning than any other fighting game I have played. This is a big difference from most other fighting games out there and it was a nice change. The game has a punch, kick, evade and guard button and you will find yourself using the evade and guard buttons if you want to win anything.
If you try to come out swinging, you will not last long. Speaking of being skill based, you had better learn all of the moves in this game. Okay, there are a few moves that would not be possible to ever pull off in real life but the point is that instead of trying to make the game action arcade centered, they chose to make more skill based which was a nice change.
Everything is pretty controlled and realistic. There are no weapons, projectiles, 40-hit combos or over the top moves. This game is no pushover when it comes to fighting styles so you will need to come with your best techniques if you care to progress.Īnother thing that I liked about the game was that the fighting style was more realistic than most fighting games.
#Virtua fighter 3tb plus
There are 13 different fighting stages with 10 of the classic characters plus two new ones. Also, since I have not followed the series, I can only assume that all of the old favorite characters are in this game. Since I have not played any of the later VF arcade games, I will judge Virtua Fighter 3tb on its merits as a console game, not as an arcade port. I have not touched a VF game since my days in the pizza place.
#Virtua fighter 3tb series
Obviously I made the right choice, but the Virtua Fighter series carried on without me. After a very painstaking process, I finally decided that I had given Sega enough of my money already (Sega CD, 32X) and that I would forgo VF for the likes of Tekken. It seems like just yesterday that I was faced with the tough decision of choosing to buy a Saturn so I could have VF or taking a chance on the new kid on the block with the Playstation. Then, along came the Sega Saturn, with exclusive rights to Virtua Fighter. I did not play it much but I knew that it was revolutionary. I thought it was the coolest game I had ever seen. Way back before GameFabrique was created, I remember playing the original Virtua Fighter in a pizza place.
