Genre: Fighting

















Release Date RRP Code

Virtua Fighter (バーチャファイター) is a fighting game developed by Sega AM2 and published by Sega for Sega Model 1 arcade hardware in 1993. It is the first game in the Virtua Fighter series. It is often cited as being the first fully 3D fighting game released to the general public, and is a basis for almost all subsequent games in the genre.

Gameplay

Virtua Fighter is a versus fighting game, pitting two of nine characters against each other in a three-dimensional arena to fight until one is "knocked out". Unlike other games in the genre at the time (such as Street Fighter II or Mortal Kombat), Virtua Fighter relies only on a control stick and three buttons, "Defense" (guard), "Punch" and "Kick" . Simple button combinations will trigger special attacks, and the large number of moves leads to a relatively complex fighting game.

Movements in Virtua Fighter are seen as more realistic than many of its popular 2D rivals from the likes of Capcom or SNK. Virtua Fighter is opts for a slower-pace with fighting styles modeled on those seen in the real world. Virtua Fighter also involves "ring outs", where if a player either walks or is knocked out of the ring, he or she is instantly disqualified.

Also unique to Virtua Fighter upon release, some characters receive "damage" if hit in certain areas and will lose part of their clothing (for example, hats).

Characters

Virtua Fighter contains eight characters each employing a different fighting style. A ninth character, Dural, is not readily available to players. Template:Sections

History

Development

Virtua Fighter follows in the footsteps of previous Sega arcade games from the early 1990s. Much like 1992's Virtua Racing is credited for revolutionising the racing genre, Virtua Fighter is an important milestone in fighting games, being among the first to render the action with 3D polygons. It can be seen as an evolution over Sega's 1992 pseudo-3D fighter, Dark Edge which attempts to simulate three dimensions with 2D sprites (and was significantly less popular).

Prior to its release, Distinctive Software's 4D Sports Boxing, released for a number of home computers in 1991/1992 stood as the closest attempt at bringing the genre into the third dimension, however this is strictly a boxing game and lacks much of the freedoms enjoyed by Virtua Fighter's gameplay.

Polygons rendered are rendered in Virtua Fighter as quadrilaterals rather than triangles (which became the standard), technology which would later be used with the Sega Saturn. Due to the limitations of the Model 1 hardware, images are created using wireframe models and flat-shaded quads - most future games would use textured polygons made up of easier-to-process triangles. Backgrounds are largely static, and the ground surrounding the play area is open and empty to maintain a constant framerate of sixty frames per second.

Akira Yuki is particularly notable character in Virtua Fighter as he was a last-minute addition to the game (so much so that early cabinets do not feature him in the artwork at all). He replaced a character known as "Siba", who was axed from the game altogether for unknown reasosn. Siba would eventually become an unlockable character in Fighters Megamix and join the regular cast of characters in Virtua Fighter 3.

During development the game was known as Virtua Fighters, the "s" being dropped before release.

Legacy

Virtua Fighter was a phenominal success for Sega, particularly in Japan which was already consumed by arcade game fighting culture. Its success has guaranteed future entries in the franchise ever since, and is amongst Sega AM2's most recognisable products. However, the timing of its arcade release caused problems - it could not be brought to the then-less powerful home consoles of 1993, and to this day, no accurate home conversions of Virtua Fighter (in its original form) exist.

Across the world (starting in late 1994), Virtua Fighter was made a launch title for the Sega Saturn console. This version is considered to have been rushed to market, shipping with several gameplay issues such as five-second load times between fights and lower polygon graphics (although the disc comes paired with a remixed arrange music based off the arcade soundtrack). The problems were laregly forgiven in Japan (and in fact, much of the Saturn's success in that region originated from this game), but the late 1995 release in western territories, saw Virtua Fighter be compared unfavourably to other early Saturn/PlayStation fighting games, such as Battle Arena Toshinden Remix.

In response, Sega produced Virtua Fighter Remix in 1995, which addresses some of the concerns and textures the 3D models. Virtua Fighter Remix is now the de facto version of Virtua Fighter, and was the basis for a PC port.

A version was released for the Sega 32X, which in Japan debuted after the Saturn version (but before the Saturn version in other territories). It suffers from even lower polygon counts than the Saturn version and various other cutbacks, but is otherwise realtively faithful to the original, subsequently being cited as one of the better games for the system. Both home versions of the game added a "Round-Robin" tournament mode. Ports for mobile phones also exist.

Virtua Fighter was followed by Virtua Fighter 2 in 1994, which sports significantly improved visuals and two new characters. AM2's Seiichi Ishii would also leave following his work on this game to create Tekken for Namco, seen as an important competitor to Virtua Fighter during the 1990s.
