Japan actually prefers VF over Tekken,Tekken 6 is just new right now.Tekken is not deep enough to take seriously.I think Japan saw through Capcom's plan to repackage SSF2:T with new characters.Seriously,I played SFIV last month, and all I can say is that I was disappointed.I had always seen the videos, and hoped it wouldn't play like crap.The animation is choppy due to obvious fact they decide to use 3D polygons instead of sprites, but the nail in coffin for me was the fact it played like SSF2, which is IMO a bad thing.They had so much time to improve on 3rd Strike, but they didn't.Trust when I say this, if you were planning to buy this game at least play it first, I cannot stress this enough.
