To All The Tekken Refugees Worldwide......

To all the Tekken Refugees.... Please don't come running to Virtua Fighter....

We don't want you over here beggin our devs for all that crazy sh#t yall asked for in Tekken..

When Namco started making the Tekken Hit Sparks bigger and bigger and bigger I warned you, and y'all laughed.

When Namco started making the whirlwinds and lighting flashes so large they almost covered half the map I warned you, and y'all laughed.

When Namco made the punch and kick sounds like shot gun blasts I said WTF , is this cool with yall. Somebody said Yep!

When Namco saw that you would tolerate the fighting kangaroos and panda bears they added vampires , and androids with removable bomb heads. I tried to warn yall then, and y'all laughed

Then Namco started adding weapons for more characters and added a walking dead character with a baseball bat with nails , with fatalities. I pointed it out at the time and somebody posted Fuck you Master Po

When Namco removed survival mode, team battle, ghost battle, tekken force, unique character customizations from the game, and all the rest of the legitimate single player content I warned yall, I tried to get your attention, but was
kicked out of the discord.

When Namco started removing characters from the game at launch and selling them back to you one by one as DLC, I sounded the alarm about this to your community and was ridiculed and then banned.

When they sold you the Frame Data in Tekken 7 and locked it behind DLC characters in Tekken 8 I tried to get your attention but somebody posted F#cK you Master Po

When Namco started to add more and more on-stage explosions, characters that could disappear over here and than reappear over there, characters that had force fields, and chain saws for hands, rocket launchers, etc I warned yall

When the character movement in Tekken became way more 2.5D than 3D, and the Art Style started looking more like Dragon Ball Z I pleaded with yall to reject that sh$t. But no, no, no, yall said, that's what the FGC wants.

When they added Rage Art, Rage Drive and Meters I predicted it would be the end of Tekken if yall don't revolt, and I was banned again, and laughed off the stage.

When they took Bruce out the game, Baek out the game, Lei Wulong out the game, Wang out the game and replaced them with Final Fantasy characters, Walking Dead Characters, Characters with guns and swords. I tried to point it out, but I was ignored and rebuked.

I told yall that Heat , Heat Gauge, Heat smash, Power Crush would ruin the Tekken franchise and that yall should reject that garbage, but no, no, no, no Yall asked for more

I rung the alarm bell when Namco added batte passes, and the store to Tekken, I said get out now. But somebody posted FuQk you Master PO, this is what modern gaming is all about.

And now that you have almost every character with a Weapon (Like a Poor Man's Soul Calibur), 10 moves with 10-15 frames advantage on block, plus frames everywhere, tracking moves, tracking blocks, super powers, all the characters with basically the same strengths and no weaknesses, 15 frames advantage on whiff, frames that change at the beginning of every match, and every Tekken Garbage Match is one big 50/50 Don't come running to Virtua Fighter.

Its bad enough yall convinced our developers to add Hit Sparks, Tekken Skins, Tekken UI and Tekken Music to Virtua Fighter Ultimate Showdown, but the line is drawn here, you will go no further with that bulls$it
we don't want none of that garbage in the next Virtua Fighter

We want realism, balance, and a small roster where all the characters are unique and represent real martial arts. We don't want kangeroos, bears, robots, androids, vampires, flying , force fields, rocket launchers, glocks, x-ray eyes, ray beams, explosions, chain-saw-hands, bombs, missles, swords, magic, super powers, shonen-jump, meters, final fantasy characters or none of that other Tekken nonsense in our game.

Now that Tekken 8 is truly become the garbage I told yall it would be, don't even think about coming over to Virtua Fighter:

Unless you Renounce All Things Tekken, and are Born Again as a true Virtua Fighter

 

Yes the "we(s)" were meant to be figurative here. The starter post is meant to reflect the views of Masterpo only, and is not intended to reflect the general views or wide ranging views of the VFDC.

For sure there are many members of the VFDC who are also Tekken players and who enjoyed (and currently enjoy) all of those Tekken Shenanigans.

And it is true that I have a very narrow, elitist view of Virtua Fighter and my views do not reflect the entire community. Undoubtedly my views of what the next Virtua Fighter should be, are likely in the minority. But in this case the minority view is right.

Tekken is a disaster and its been in a death spiral since the release of Tekken 7 and Namco switchwed to Unreal Engine for development. Tekken is in Anime quick sand and is sinking fast.

And it is my personal , narrow elitist opinion that the next Virtua Fighter should have absolutely nothing in common with Tekken 7, or Tekken 8
