Dead or Alive IS a ripoff of Virtua Fighter, except the reason why DOA is way more popular than VF is because the female characters have big, beautiful, breasts that bounce when they move or jump, and skirts so short that you can see their panties........excuse me while I go play Dead or Alive 3.
I still haven't played the XBOX version of Vurtua Fighter 4 yet. I hear that the gameplay is based off of Virtua Fighter 2 which was a pretty cool game.

The reason why people ditch this game in favor of Tekken is because Virtua Fighter is too realistic.

If America knows the difference between treasure and trash, we wouldn't have talentless media whores like Britney Spears, Nelly, Eminem, Puff Daddy and Jennifer Lopez turning the concept of music into a joke. We wouldn't be bored to death with MTV, talk shows, reality TV and soap operas. We would have honest people running our government. And we definitely wouldn't have so many shitty videogames clogging up the Playstation line of consoles.
Americans just hate Virtua Fighter because it doesn't allow for you to randomly button-mash your way to victory, and it doesn't have pretty flashes of light.

The first 3d polygon fighting game made by SEGA in 1992. It was followed by Virtua Fighter 2 (1994), Virtua Fighter 3(1997), and Virtua Fighter 4 (2001). Still the most innovative and realistic 3D fighting game series in existence, since it attempts to mimic real moves and physics as closely as possible. Since Virtua Fighter's creation, there have been a slew of half-assed ripoffs such as NAMCO's Tekken series, and Team Ninja's Dead or Alive series.
Virtua Fighter 2 is still the best and most original 3D fighter of all time. Virtua Fighter 4 doesn't count, since it's based off of Virtua Fighter 2

VF = Better graphics, physics, GAMEPLAY, REPLAYABILITY, LASTABILITY!!!
Teken = Better ways to mash buttons, better flashes, better CHEAP factor.

A 3d fighter with sluggish controles and boring charecters. The graphics were ok at the time (Ah who Im kidding even the dated King Of Fighters engine looked better thatn this crap fest) It is fairly complicated wich can turn off new players. This series is not newb freindly....at all. I will say however that it is fairly addictive and there is enough for fans to enjoy.
As for those who do not enjoy the super floaty jumps those were pretty much invented in VF.

I wish the VF series played a bit faster.
All these charecters feel a bit cliche and I cant seem to find one I particulary like playing as.
Well at least VF4EVO is pretty

There is nothing fun about the Virtua Fighter games. The music is tacki and droaning. The specials are dull and crummy. The speed is slower than sluggish and the gameplay is deader than a graveyard.
The characters are clear rip offs of characters from the Street fighter and Tekken gammes.
Oh yes and Virtua fighter is not realistic, when I jump I dont think I slowly hover to the floor or when I knock someone over I dont think it takes them half a millenia to get up. Your just making up excuses for Virtua Fighters slow downs and fatal flaws.
Dead or Alive is NOT a rip off of Virtua Fighter, in fact the series have nothing in common besides the same fighting engine. But oh would you look at that even though they do Dead or Alive actually has realistic jumps and characters dont move like turtles.
I rest my case
