Allow me to say, that while you may argue over the specs of each game and over
what system is better, I find that people who enjoy playing the midless
fighting games where knowing the special moves is enough to win, tend to like
Tekken over VF2. People who enjoy gameplay and realistic (save for extremely
high jumps) moves tend to favor VF2. I for one simply enjoy VF2 much more
because I admire it's complexity. The moves are all in some sense real. The
fighting styles of each character are based on real martial arts. There are
counter attacks and combos. Unlike Tekken where all you have to do is "hit
the buttons" as if you were playing streetfighter. True, some level of
competence is required, but still one could do quite well in the game without
much thought. I also feel that VF2 for the Saturn is almost a literal
translation from the arcade. The animation is fluid and the music is
terrific. The only area the game lacks in is in the backrounds. However, if
you don't enjoy deep and involving games, Tekken is great. You do a move and
it hurts the other guy. I will admit that Tekken has some cool moves, but so
does VF2. And unlike Tekken, to be great at VF2 takes much skill...

I agree that VF2 gameplay is deeper than Tekken, but calling the
Street Fighter series "button mashing" games? I beg to differ!
