Virtua Fighter 5 was a high note for the series as it brought the genre into HD and included the biggest cast of characters yet. Though flashier 3D competitors like Tekken and Soulcalibur would emerge, the Virtua Fighter series remains on top thanks to its focus on the fundamentals of the genre. While Capcom’s Street Fighter 2 cemented what a competitive fighting game could be when players could only move in four directions, Virtua Fighter has the honor of laying the groundwork for how every fighting game in a fully realized 3D space functions. Virtua Fighter is to 3D fighting games what Street Fighter is to 2D fighting games.
