    The Arcade version looks better of course, given the Model 2's superior power and graphics capabilities.
    But the Saturn holds up surprisingly well!

    As a teenager I had a game called fighters megamix. It was fighting vipers and Virtua fighter characters in the same game.
    They also added more characters like the Virtua cop girl and the Daytona USA car. The game was awesome! had around 40 fighters.
    I also had last Bronx and vf2!
    loved my Sega Saturn.. wish I still had it!

    Here's the challenge, kids: take a 12 oz bottle of beer, and pour the contents into a 6 oz glass without spilling or missing anything. That's the challenge of porting a state-of-the-art arcade videogame to much weaker home system. Given the difference b/t Model 2 & Saturn, it is miraculous that AM2 could achieve such an excellent translation. All the graphics are intact, although scaled down at times (the backgrounds are faked very, very well). All the characters and moves are intact. The game plays at 480i and 60 fps with minimal slowdown. And Saturn features extensive gouraud shading and light sourcing that amazes even today. Sega was still fighting to prove they could match, and surpass, the Sony Playstation. Add in several bonus characters, numerous gameplay modes (training mode is excellent), and some CG artwork that was the style of the time, and you have another masterwork of programming. And this game just kicks. It's lighting fast and smooth, and those wall-smashing moves are very satisfying. All in all, a fantastic arcade translation and another reason to own a Sega Saturn. But get the Japanese version so you can play Pepsiman, who's super easy to play.

      I forgot Pepsiman!
      He was one of the neater characters in a Sega fighting game besides the "fishbowl head" version of Dural in Virtua Fighter Kids!
      Yeah, I imported a LOT of Sega Saturn games. I have doubles of MANY Sega and Capcom games on the Saturn. For the last year-and-a-half of the system's life, you WERE stuck importing games for it since Sega of America stupidly ended support in May 1998 after alienating every last third party company that cared to develop for the Saturn! It was a shame because some of THE BEST Saturn games came out towards the end and there were releasing a lot of good stuff through the summer of 1998 at least. I think THE LAST Saturn release in America might have been Magic Knight Rayearth, the RPG, by Working Designs. Vic Ireland, the head of that company, was no fan of Bernie Stolar, SEGA of America CEO at that time, for sure!
      I think the very last game I ever bought for the Saturn that was an import might have actually been Street Fighter Zero 3. That might have been 2000. Pretty sure I bought it through National Console Support. I bought ALL my import Capcom fighters through that company!
      People forget there was an arcade version of the Saturn called the Titan system. They did at least a half-dozen arcade games and ported those back to the Saturn with minimal changes. Those titles included VF Kids, Die Hard Arcade, and at least one Sonic title, Sonic Fighters(?).
      Sega rushed out Virtua Fighter Remix to show people what the Saturn was really capable of.
      They kind of had to considering how crude and rushed VF1 looked on the Saturn and technically the Saturn SHOULD have been capable of doing near-arcade perfect ports of the Model 1 games (Virtua Racing, Virtua Fighter) but didn't, of course.
      Virtua Racing itself is still one of my favorite all-time arcade racing games but they never did an ultra-fantastic port of it on ANY Sega system and I think even the Sega Ages version of Virtua Racing is iffy in the translation.
      Me? I was impressed by the launch day games -- I bought Daytona USA and Panzer Dragoon. I actually preferred the original version of Daytona released for Saturn to the "cleaner" second edition because the first version actually played more like the arcade game! The closest to arcade-perfect of Daytona USA I've played is the PC port they translated over to the PS3 years ago. I've got that one and the ported PC-to-PS3 version of Fighting Vipers.
      The VF games themselves I never really cared much for. VF just leaves me feeling cold. Tekken's not much better even if the controls are arguably better than they are on ANY of Sega's poly fighters.
      I still would rather play a CPS-2 fighting game than any poly fighter past or present. The poly fighter I enjoyed playing the most was Dead or Alive 1 on the Saturn but I'm sure I haven't touched it in close to 20 years now.

    Saturn version of this is pretty brilliant.
    The display is run in 480i mode, but 3D graphics are line doubled, so it's rendering the game at half-height (and maybe half-width?), so it's not quite as nice as VF2 on Saturn, which renders at a full 480i.
    Still, it's a smooth port, models are pretty close, textures are decent. Lighting is gimped, although there's still stages with pretty impressive lighting effects on the Saturn (none are in the video).
    I'm so mad I have a US copy of the game, so no Pepsiman, would have bought a JP copy if I knew at the time.

    i just noticed how ''blocky'' picky looks in the arcade version. awkward to see the saturn version even improve upon the arcade in a few ways. the saturn version has well rounded characters with proper shading, might even end up a tie. i normally would asume that the arcade destroys the saturn but these ports got so much love, they've been done in the best way possible and strange to see things in the saturn version that shouldn't be that way.

      It may be better on that stage but overall the Saturn version seems to have more light sources overall.
      Also, when talking about shading, I was talking mainly about gouraud shading (which when applied makes some surfaces look round, like Grace's and Honey's legs on the Saturn version), the Saturn hardware is capable of gouraud shading whereas Model 2 hardware isn't.

    Muitos games bons como *TKof F , Bloody Roar , Soul Calibur , Tekken* fizeram por merecer o sucesso que tiveram . Também tivemos lixos como *Fighters History , Shaq Fu , Masters of Teras Kasi , Star Gladiator , Way of the Warriors e esse Fighting Vipers* hoje se encontram abraçadas com o capiroto nas profundesas do inferno onde habitam os piores estercos eletrônicos da humanidade .
    MK e SF também falharam miseravelmente quando tentaram inovar . Mithologies , Special Forces , SF Movie e EX Plus Alpha não me deixam mentir .
    No começo da década passada se iniciou a guerra *Battlefield vs Call of Duty* semelhante ao *MK vs SF* dos anos anteriores . Também foram produzidos bons games que tentaram pegar carona no sucesso e tantos outros de qualidade duvidosa que não fazem falta pra ninguém .

The PS1 was such an amazing machine, by the end of its life it was pushing more polygons even than N64 and looked close to Dreamcast.

      As I recall, the Saturn has no 3D fighting games that contain 3D backgrounds including the port of Battle Arena Toshinden: Battle Arena Toshinden Remix. It simply flattened the PSX version's 3D backgrounds.
      Most of the Playstation's 3D fighting games had them but it came at the cost of locking the framerate to 30, with a few exceptions (Tobal No. 1, Bloody Roar, Mortal Kombat 4). I remember being amazed at Lei Long's river stage staying fully intact in the PSX port of Soul Blade while disappointed with the gimped similar stage in the Virtual Fighter 2 Saturn port. On the flip, Tekken 3's PSX port received the Saturn conversion treatment in that the arcade's 3D backgrounds changed to a flat wallpaper.
