      I really like both franchises! I'm a casual, mostly playing offline, but I still love them both. They share the similarities that make me enjoy 3D fighters a lot more than 2D, but still play significantly different to stand out. I played the classics VF and Tekken recently, and I could not finish Tekken 1 and 2, and VF 1 and 2 more than once. They did not age well. But VF 3 and Tekken 3, they are still really fun to play. They are the first iterations that became real 3D fighter (side steps). I had a lot of fun playing 3s and 4s from both series again. VF4 Evo quest mode is super fun!

    • @pcmacro
      @pcmacro 5 місяців тому +2

      I grew up playing both from the very first one. They are different. Personally I actually don't like the direction Tekken is taking with Anime Dragon Ball style story, and all the extra stuff like rage, rage art, and now this rush thing in T8. But I still like both game series alot. I actually play Tekken more.

    Fatal Fury 1 - one of the most innovative out there - it had a tag team system, where 2 players could gang up against the CPU and after that fight, they had to fight each other. It had a solid story behind that fighting, catchy tunes and it started the legend of the lone wolf... of Southtown. It's my first fighting game too... so always have a soft spot for both Fatal Fury 1 and Street Fighter 2 World Warrior... you have no freakin idea how popular SF2 WW was back then... like they even made an infamous HK cantonese flik starring Aaron Kwok and Andy Lau after SF2 WW...! And the first Fatal Fury was called... King of FIghters!!! Both these games should have been GOAT status dude.

I thought the weapon durability system was interesting and it kinda has a similar in game function to the drive gauge in sf6, where blocking for too long will cause you to take chip, as well as being able to burn it for more damage. Its been a long time since i played it on PS1 but I remember enjoying it a lot. Not as much as SC2 of course...

      It will be even cheaper in April, if you are willing to hold out. In general NS tends to sell MK games cheaply after some time, example check MK9,10,11 prices when on sale.
      Honestly, I dont think MK1 its that good. The story was meh from the beginning & that led to a lot of people's interest waning off. However, since you seem to want MK1 to play ranked as well, then it might be better to play it now, before the DLCs hit & you regret your choice.

      Tekken 4 is still really fun! Not only the atmosphere, the stages and the revamped Tekken force a good. But the gameplay is solid, where poking, spacing and punishing are so much more important than long combos. I liked it for this.
