Opinion: Where Do Fighting Games Go From Here?

Japan comparisons don't pertain to this argument, as their standard of FG game play is clearly above everyone else. My rants was directed at international players who hide behind VF (even though they probably suck compared to the japs) because they are not good enough to beat you in 'popular games'. Using the japs as an example, is a crutch, and you know it.

As for balance, where is there a major tournament that has been won by Jeffry, Vanessa, Shun, Goh or Kage??? If so, it'd be a one time aberration I believe. Again, you can only bring up japanese players, because the rest of the world sucks at it, so why are non-japanese players going on about it?

BTW I play VF, and am proficient in it; I play Eileen, and I know I suck, but I am qualified to judge it imo.

You clearly don't have much of an idea of how VF works.

What looks like "70 unnecessary layers" is just simple stuff (apart from the throw breaks, in which case the reasoning behind them is legitimately justified). The only reason they look heard is because you are forced to look past its blandness to appreciate the system. No casual gamer would wanna do that. Yet they wouldn't be able to put their finger on it. So they blame the system's depth.

I'm of the opinion that no matter what Sega does, the game will be described as bland. After match interactive sex parties? It'd still be considered bland.
 
I didn't even know they still played Virtua Fighter....
I think Budokai Tekanachi 3 should have gotten more attention, imo it was fairly balanced and fun to play.

23 players makes a major tournament for VF, right? (Otherwise, you're just tossing out the results of VF being played at a high level for no reason other than a major US tourney flat out can't be cited which is silly. Game mechanics don't magically change across an ocean.)
