Title: Tekken 4 or Virtual Fighter 4?
Post by: RichG on October 06, 2002, 01:46:45 AM: I like Tekken 4 but could complete it pretty much within a rental period. I\'ve had a quick go on it and it just seems like a prettier TTT without the tagging. :(

That said though its still Tekken.

Is VF4 worth getting for a change?

Tekken 4 is a multiplayer gem. But horrible, horrible single player.

Also to get tons of new items, clothes and stuff you\'ll need to create a new character in the Data Files option and play with him/her in Kumite mode. I\'ve come across ppl who traded in the game without even knowing it was possible to do this. Read the darn booklet ppl!

Virtua Fighter 4 is the #10 best rated Ps2 videogame of all time by proffesional magazines/websites according to gamerankings.com with an average ratio of 92.3%. Tekken 4 is #65.

Post by: EmperorRob on October 06, 2002, 09:38:43 AM: I like them both. But I haven\'t tried Tekken on ultra-super-hard difficulty yet. Virtua Fighter 4\'s kumite mode will challenge you no matter how long you play that game.

VF4 is a game u should buy I think whether u buy Tekken or not.

Post by: Bobs_Hardware on October 06, 2002, 09:55:10 AM: Well that\'s what I meant Rob. Virtua Fighter 4 is a great single player game with great AI and so much depth.

But for multiplayer, it\'s just not as fun as Tekken. Weird :)

So it all depends on what you want.

I say get both... then you have an excuse when you lose in Virtua Fighter "I was holding back I forgot I had to hit Square to block ARRRRGH"

Post by: Jerchel on October 06, 2002, 10:05:54 AM: Actually, I just don\'t like the setup of the movements of moves in VF4. I have always enjoyed the setup of Tekken a lot more. Maybe you could also think of this when you decide which one you like. I like how the setup is a button for each arm and leg. Just makes sense to me.

Post by: Astroboy2112 on October 06, 2002, 10:20:23 AM: You might want to try out a different button layout than the default one. I use the square as my punch button, X i use for blocking and the triangle button for kicks (the default setting in VF3 for DC). That one suited me best. I can hit any button combo with ease with that setup. The only trigger button i still need to use with that one is L2 for the P + G + k command.

Post by: Jerchel on October 06, 2002, 10:21:33 AM: I have not even got Tekken 4 yet. I am not sure if I will or not either. There is lots of other games coming out on all three systems. Anyone else following this trend?
Title: Tekken 4 or Virtua Fighter 4?
Post by: Bobs_Hardware on October 06, 2002, 10:37:46 AM: No, I just buy all the games.

Post by: Jerchel on October 06, 2002, 10:39:56 AM: I do not have that much money heh. If I did I would buy a lot more than I do. Tekken and VF. Even if I hardly played them.
Title: Tekken 4 or Virtua Fighter 4?
Post by: kopking on October 06, 2002, 12:16:57 PM: well id say tekken is only good as multi payer.... i dunno i felt let down by it. still very good, but between t1 and t2. then t2 and t3 there were big advances. i didnt see a big step.. that why i felt let down....

i like vf4 at first, but after a while i got bored, yeah is harder to learn, so in multi player, who ever owns it will be wayt better than the ones that dont.. i mean you can paly tekken a bit , though you not own it, but play it round you mates and get better quicker
Title: Tekken 4 or Virtua Fighter 4?
Post by: on October 06, 2002, 04:09:18 PM: I also think it is a tie. VF4 gets boring for a while, it is collecting dust in my room as of right now. Maybe its because I didnt really like it, wasnt good, or just bought too many new games. I played Tekken 4 at a friends, and from what I played it was kick ass. But my friend complained about the one player mode alot.

Both good choices...

Post by: Astroboy2112 on October 06, 2002, 08:25:58 PM: Virtua Fighter 4 is all about timing. Setting up your big moves, and combos properly is the way to win in VF, u just dont win by using ur special moves ranmdomly like in so many fighters. Finding all these little patterns were u can strike, fool or counter ur oppent is what VF is all about.

U do something, ur oppenent thinks that\'s your offensive move but in reality what u were doing was positioning ur character in the correct position to deliver the big combo or counterstrike. The trick is to learn to lure ur oppenents into all this little patterns u can do.

Old school fighters were also filled with little patterns. For example in SF2 u threw a fireball at an opponent ur opponent then foolishly jumps at u and then u countered with a dragon punch. After this pattern, ur opponent would\'ve predicted that u will try to do this pattern again so a good idea was to fake a fireball motion or just press the weak punch button ocassionally to fool ur opponent and get them to jump at u, then u countered with a dragon punch.

Well, VF is all about finding all these little chain reactions. Making them think ur gonna do something when ur not. Being unpredictable and screwing with ur opponents mind is the way to go. Kinda like the good ol\' days at the arcade.The difference is that there are way more offensive/defensive options at ur disposal than Sf2 or any other previous fighter ever had, and that\'s why i like it so much :)

Post by: Unicron! on October 07, 2002, 04:44:54 AM: The problem with Tekken4 being such a boring single player game is the weak AI.I have to set it to the ultra hard mode to feel some competition while VF4 has a great AI for single player mode.
I wish I ll see a Tekken with a prober AI.Its alaways very predictable if u study it.Even in TTT.Try knocking ur opponent down in TTT and then get as near to him as possible and as fast as possible.He will always try to commit a throw when you are very near to him,So everytime u do that sidestep while he is getting up and commit a throw(throw to your oppnonents left side).Never loses.
Title: Tekken 4 or Virtua Fighter 4?
Post by: alienmagic on October 07, 2002, 07:29:15 AM: I\'d have to recommend VF4. Like it\'s been said before, there\'s more depth in the single player. And, I have always had fun with VF4 in multiplayer, especially when there are 2 players who have become skilled at VF4 playing multiplayer. My little brother and an old roommate and I have had plenty of fun playing VF4 multiplayer.

Post by: Bobs_Hardware on October 07, 2002, 09:04:11 AM: Astro-

That\'s exactly what Tekken is about. Most people don\'t realize the depth and complexity of it until they play against a pro. You should watch me and my friends play :eyemouth:
