Ah fair enough.

Virtua Fighter was the series that truly revolutionised 3D fighters. Virtua Fighter 2, in particular. But sadly, Sega were incompetent and on a fast decline at the time, so they weren't able to capitalise on VF2's success and thus Namco kicked their asses with Tekken from Tekken 3 onward.

Virtua Fighter games had great gameplay but lacked charismatic characters or the flashy graphics of Tekken. Plus, VF is also more of a game for the hardcores kinda like SF and KOF while Tekken is more for casuals. So that turned off people from it as well.

You know how people say that the old Mortal Kombat games were all flash and no substance. Virtua Fighter is the exact opposite: all substance and no flash.
