Should have been Battle Arena Toshinden, the best fighter on Playstation.

VF 2, hands down. I hate Tekken's reliance on juggling your oponent and on long combos, while VF is always about fast reaction and shorter, stronger combos.
EDIT: Besides, I believe Tekken only became a noteworthy series after 3.

Toshinden is an over the top weapon based fighting series though, these are both down to earth non-weapon based fighting games (down to earth by videogame standards anyway).
I pick Tekken 2.
I love the intro FMV, it's easily my favorite intro in the series, it's extremely 90s and very nostalgic for me, I like the character roster infinitely more in Tekken games (I only really like Sarah Bryant and Vanessa Lewis in the Virtua Fighter series versus a whole team of favorites in Tekken, like Jack, Anna, Bryan, Yoshimitsu, Lee, Law, Julia, Marduk, King etc.), I like the visual art style more and I think the Tekken series in general is easier to pick up and play than Virtua Fighter and more fun to play because the characters have more interesting and varied movesets.
I'm not a fan of ring-outs, I find it stupid that two people who are fighting for something important (rather than just a generic sport) would just give it all up and let their enemy go on with whatever they were doing quite literally without a fight only because they stepped out of a specific area on the ground, it doesn't make any sense in the context of games like this at all.
I like it a lot more in series like Dead or Alive or SoulCalibur where a ring-out either changes where the rest of fight takes place or is an actual dangerous hazard like falling into a rapid river or off a cliff to most certain doom, those types of ring-outs actually make sense and fit well into the context of the games they're in.

I like it a lot more in series like Dead or Alive or SoulCalibur where a ring out either changes where the rest of fight takes place or is an actual dangerous hazard like falling into a rapid river or off a cliff to most certain doom, those types of right outs actually make sense and fit well into the context of the games they're in. But Tekken was Toshinden's biggest competition, both struggling to become the best 3D fighter. |

Tekken 2 is good but VF2 is the clear winner imo. For what it's worth I do think Tekken 1 is better than VF1 I'm not a fan of ring-outs, I find it stupid that two people who are fighting for something important (rather than just a generic sport) would just give it all up and let their enemy go on with whatever they were doing quite literally without a fight only because they stepped out of a specific area on the ground, it doesn't make any sense in the context of games like this at all. Ackchyually, The characters in VF2 are fighting in a legit tournament with set rules. One of which being the match ends once one of the fighters steps out of the ring. |

Like Armored Core Raven said Toshinden is a 3D weapon based fighting game, it is on a whole different category, that would be like comparing Samurai Shodown with Fatal Fury, it just doesn't work, also they are on the same console, these are console wars. Virtua Fighter 2 wins for me, but like winnersdontusedrugs don't use drugs said, Tekken 1 was better than Virtua Fighter 1, however credit were is due, that is understandable as Yu Suzuki invented the genre with that first Virtua Fighter game, it was truly revolutionary. That said, Tekken didn't become a massive success until the third one, when it finally became a household name in the industry like Gran Turismo, Resident Evil, Ace Combat, Metal Gear Solid, Silent Hill, Time Crisis, Soulcalibur, Dynasty Warriors, etc.. |

Tekken is a tournament as well, The King of Iron Fist Tournament to be more specific, so is Mortal Kombat, and plenty of other fighting series as well, thankfully most of them are smart enough to realize just how dumb a ring-out rule truly is, especially in the context of these type of games with the stories they have, and how little sense it would be in like Tekken or Mortal Kombat that people's lives and the future of the world etc. would rely on stepping or not stepping over a line in the ground in the middle of a fight to the death would be. Personally I would hope Jack-5 or Goro or someone of equal stature would grab hold of anyone who'd dare suggest such an insultingly stupid rule and dunk that person's dumb skull in until they smarten up and learn the lesson never to suggest such idiotic things ever again. |
