The making of Virtua Fighter

Great video providing an insight into the revolutionary fighter that was Virtua Fighter! It's impact in the fighting arena was as big as what Streetfighter 2 was for the 2d one-on-one fighter...cutting edge graphics for its time and later entries continued that trend (with gameplay to match)..

Well worth checking out!

 
I never thought I would hear General Electric and Sega Model 2 in the same sentence. I never really payed much attention to Sega Model 3 either but am shocked to learn it was designed to emulate cloth physics. I am not surprised Virtua Fighter 2 animations were far beyond the first due to motion capture but the worse combat design I attribute to Seiichi Ishii leaving to head up Tekken for Namco.

P.S. I am still amazed that they ported the first Virtua Fighter in all its glory to Sega Mega Drive 32x and was hoping it would be highlighted but this is a cool mini-documentary nevertheless.
