Sega could rule the whole genre of fighting games. How, in fact, ruled by a Japanese slot machine halls, where Soul Calibur 3 and Tekken 5 are considered to be childish, Guilty Gear and King of Fighters deserve a little more of a reputation for mad fun otaku, and only Virtua Fighter has become more than a game - has become a religion . Need to be in smoky Japanese arcades and look into the eyes of young people hunched over a screen in order to understand the depth of their passion. A well-known champion (they are usually all know by name) can sit for automatic day zabesplatno, giving newcomers a virtual cuffs for their money. In large halls hung schedule of regular tournaments, and from time to time Sega conducts national championships Kakutou Shinseiki with a live broadcast on the Internet and professional comments. Serial Virtua Fighter, decades-oiled, polished, honed to such an extent that competitors fit only your elbows to bite, it remains a purely Japanese fun and popular - so popular! - In the halls of slot machines. Impression that the owners love this console Fighting is not very much and need: Sega-AM2 repeatedly released on consoles direct arcade port, it is not adapted to other platforms. Without the atmosphere of the club with the same interests and capabilities to fight with random upstarts with the county game is losing the lion's share of charm - what's the point in a clean sport, if no one with whom to compete? Home love to play Soul Calibur, Tekken or Dead or Alive, to gawk at the girls, neighing, a good time. Nobody plays in Virtua Fighter, to have a good time. It is played to win.
