If improving it means making the framerate choppier than Dreamcast Sega Rally, it's been improved.
I got it.
The frame drops are regular, it's like it's subtracting half a frame every second to make it identical to the arcade's 57hz sync rate (or whatever). Note that Saturn ran at 60fps. (or 59.97, whatever)
The character select textures are all fucked up and low res.
The game defaults to model 2 res so the game runs in a smaller box (wtf) and is cropped on all sides. You can change it to fullscreen from the option menu though.
The textures are slightly misaligned on the first stage. The game is also slightly on the dark side, turn up your brightness. Aside from that, I think geometry and texture are the same.
Oh, and it comes with an ad for Virtua Fighter Cyber Generations in the package, so I feel that cheapens the game even more
BTW, the freebie book that comes with it sucks dong. Don't bother.

The attract mode is playing on my TV now and I'm noticing decreased texture resolution on the floors and in the backgrounds and on the character faces. Jeffry's stomach also looks wrong, like the polys are rotated 45-degrees to make a diamond pattern instead of a square pattern...
Saturn version:
+Tourney modes and more options and gameplay modes in general
+Locked 60fps
-Crappy looking 2D backgrounds
PS2 version
+Higher polycount on the characters, but not sure if original geometry, kind of weird looking
+3D backgrounds! OMG
-Badly textured 3D backgrounds
-Weird frame drops
-Lighting seems off (I'm not talking about "hardcore shading", it just looks wrong)
SEGA YOU SUCK! Worst of all, AM2 did the conversion themselves. HEY FUCKTARDS, JUST STEAL SOME RENDERING CODE FROM VF4, YOU KNOW, THE ONE THAT ACTUALLY LOOKS GOOD!
edit: I'm reading the thread on 2ch and people are complaining not just about the shitty texture work and frame drops, but that the controls seem off by a few frames.

Holy shit check this guy out, he's totally insane but I'm even crazier because I have a whole feckin' VF2 arcade machine in my living room.
All four versions of the game running simultaneously!!!

Ummm... can you clarify which version is which?
what the shit was the point of this port if they weren't going to get it right? and after all that fuss about HANDLING IT IN HOUSE and the ARCADE EXACT 57HZ REFRESH. fucking sega.
oh well. most of the differences sound subtle enough that i wouldn't notice them.

And even i am moderately surprised
"サターン版を10点、アーケード版を100点とすると、PS2版は83点くらいかな"
hmmmm.....
Anyways, i've bought every game in this stupid fucking series, and i can't justify it any more because almost all of the games are absolute garbage.
For an extra 2000 yen, i can buy the arcade version. Infact, that's what i intend to do this weekend.

So if the Saturn version is 10 points and the Arcade version is 100 points, the PS2 version comes in around 83 points? Interesting...
Seems he hasn't used his PS2 for a while either (and pulled the Saturn out of the attic
). He also seems to think that the opponent AI is very similar between the PS2 and AC editions.
The Saturn version of Virtua Fighter 2 was remarkably faithful for the 32/64 bit generation and the Dreamcast version of Virtua Fighter 3 was a close technical match and better in some ways, but arcade purists value faithfulness and find dissatisfaction when reproductions are not exact.

He is insane. He's likes VF2 enough to have four versions, but he doesn't seem to have an arcade stick with less than eight buttons.Sho Nuff said:
