Soundtracks: KOF But you damn right about VF2 soundtrack being one of the best ever. Like I said when we discussed this idea on a WAFC episode, people need to know more about Virtua Fighter. Excellent Work Den.
VF is my favorite fighting game franchise personally but if I had to pick: Gameplay:VF Roster:KOF Story:KOF obviously lol Music:KOF Impact:VF The main issue with VF is the lack on continuity with their story.
They both have their share of Terrible Mismanagement over the Years, The KOF series nearly Died after burning so much Money into the 13th Installment and went on a 5 or 6 year long Hiatus when KOF 14 came and then later KOF 15, Virtua Fighter on the other Hand has never gotten a new Installment since 2006, but instead it just keeps getting Re-Released into Modern Gen Consoles like PS4, PS5, XBOX One and Series X, possibly showing that Timing was really the Series's Bad Luck.
I dunno about this, I feel the two series are so different that the comparisons are kind of a reach aside from KoF series clearly having a more thought out story. Also I do not agree that KoF has any less impact than Virtua Fighter as it was the very first team based fighter, and while it wasn't like how tag team fighters have become, it doesn't diminish its impact and we wouldn't have been seeing Marvel VS series or tag team modes in other fighting games without KoF. It was also the first fighting game with a premise being to crossover multiple fighting/videogame franchises too so, no, it's no less impactful.
dude don't start a moaning thread both games were giving their props, its good to see these games in a discussion every now and then, don't put people off having friendly discussions.
@@KrisHomemadeBaking am not talking about impact , you saying you can't compared the two and its a reach, its almost like you never wanted this discussion to happen.. alllow people to talk about whatever they want dude
@@bestboxerever3405 I told nobody what to do, I just stated my opinion that these two fighting franchises are different. I'm not sure why you have to be so argumentative
I love the Virtua Fighter Series, been a fan since I saw the attract mode for VF2. I was 10 back in 1994 when the game was released in arcades. I’ve never seen such a fluid and visually appealing looking game ever at the time. As much as I love the VF series….. overall I gotta give it to the KOF series, not by an overwhelming majority, because I definitely play both series all the time, but I have more fun playing KOF.
Interesting you made a video called KOF vs. VF. The mobile game KOF all-stars had a VF5 collab. Which was crazy at the time because the week b4 i finished watching the VF anime. In one episode of the anime Paichan for a brief moment was wearing a Terry Bogard inspired disguise. She was rocking a black cap, jacket with metal on it similar to the Fatal Fury movie. Also Mai Shiranui with VF characters are in DOA 5 last round.
KOF are Fighting games in my eyes. the moment 1 KOF as a franchise Dies 2 all KOF and related characters and IP are forgotten (not picked up by anyone, simply forgotten) Is the Day fighting games die in my eyes.
One point I would give KOF is accessibility, not in the gameplay sense but in the buying sense. To play Virtua fighter 5 you need either a ps4/5, to buy yakuza, or sail the seven seas. KOF you can just buy it on any platform, so it gets a +1 for accessibility.
I love both of these. Not to mention KOF has my all time favourite fighting game character GEESE HOWARD. But out of these 2. I'm Biased towards Tekken's Dad.
Gameplay: Virtua Fighter. Like Tekken, there's a lot going on and it's very unforgiving to master. Story: KOF by a mile. The Orochi Saga, NEST Saga and Ash Saga are regarded as one of the best storylines in fighting games. Graphics: Virtua Fighter, the 5th game came out a year after Tekken 5, Soul Calibur 3 and DOA 4 came out and it aged like fine wine. Roster: KOF. You have Art of Fighting characters, Fatal Fury characters, Samurai Showdown characters and Garou characters, Pyscho Soldier characters and Ikari Warrior characters together with the original KOF characters like Kyo, Iori, K', Ash, Shun'ei and Isla. OST: Subjective but I'm going for Virtua Fighter. Virtua Fighter is known to have great music no disrespect to KOF of course. Impact: Virtua Fighter. Without Virtua Fighter, Tekken, DOA and Soul Calibur wouldn't exist today. It's that simple. Virtua Fighter hasn't had a new game since Virtua Fighter 5 vanilla and had multiple updates like Virtua Fighter 5 R, Final Showdown and Ultimate Showdown which I have on my PS4. I'm glad Sega is finally making the new Virtua Fighter after nearly 20 years. KOF almost went out of existence since SNK were in financial trouble and had a massive hiatus after the end of the Ash Saga and KOF 14 dropped in 2016 and 6 years later KOF 15 came out. KOF is still going strong today amid the crisis SNK went through.
Aww man, two of my absolute favorite fighting games series, both of which are underrated by the mainstream. I advocate for both of these series so much man. Literally two of my top 3 favorites (the other being Street Fighter).
I don’t think the soundtrack & roster comparisons are that fair. KOF 15 shouldn’t have a better soundtrack because you can play songs from other KOF games. It should be better because the soundtrack has better songs that originate from KOF 15. I can understand the point towards KOF 15 for the roster, but the roster of KOF is team based, so I feel like it should be compared to other team based games. If not, then the roster should be judged on how different each character is in gameplay and personality.
Bullshit, after the Orochi crap, which wasn't even that good it falls apart. The current arc was ass and predictable as hell with some bitch they had to tack on because ReVerse sucks.
One of the worst pick up and play games and I know my stuff is Virtua Fighter. Never had a room of friends get so bored ever. I know the engine is good. Just not fun. But this isn't which game is more fun to play
Question do you really think this is a fair fight and the reason why I say that is because ain't that Virtua Fighter came out in like 2005 compared to this game that came out what 2 years ago so the technology is different graphic gameplay is different you should have did doa
Though the Kof series hasn't been relevant at least here in the US, Latin America is where the kof brand is huge in popularity and culture. Virtua Fighter needs a new title or probably a reboot to the series to freshen up for vets and new audiences.
Glad to see you uploading more, one of my favorite youtubers. Keep it up man 💪
Facts
Wow dead or alive is just Left in the dust
DOA hadnt made a game in years
@@westwud8995and VF has????
I'm not against DOA, but its Story becomes absolutely Cringe from 5 to 6 after Tomonobu Itagaki (The Original Creator) completely left the Series.
Gotta give it to DOA for its story structure, innovative as hell 😭
Core Values
The last DOA failed
Virtua Fighter had so much potential. Back in the 7th gen days I was so confident it would soar so high in the following years but here we are.
Love your videos, Den. Great TH-cam content 👊🏿
👍
Soundtracks: KOF
But you damn right about VF2 soundtrack being one of the best ever.
Like I said when we discussed this idea on a WAFC episode, people need to know more about Virtua Fighter. Excellent Work Den.
VF2 and 3 OSTs makes it above any of KOF OSTs
Gameplay definitely goes to virtua fighter it so much more satisfying and Technical
I would like to see DoA vs Tekken vs VF. The ultimate battle between the top 3D fighters.
VF is my favorite fighting game franchise personally but if I had to pick:
Gameplay:VF
Roster:KOF
Story:KOF obviously lol
Music:KOF
Impact:VF
The main issue with VF is the lack on continuity with their story.
Baraka is Op He's a Fan Favorite King of Fighters 15 is Fun and Virtua Fighter is Cool
I want to see Mace The Dark Age Vs Soul Calibre, please do it.
you're gonna laugh at the next one
Love these comparisons, these dam reactionaries need to chill and enjoy the content for what it is, entertainment!
Fighters Den at it again
Soul caliber drowning at this point
Virtua Fighter relied heavily on graphics and game play but that will not be enough in today's landscape.
They both have their share of Terrible Mismanagement over the Years,
The KOF series nearly Died after burning so much Money into the 13th Installment and went on a 5 or 6 year long Hiatus when KOF 14 came and then later KOF 15,
Virtua Fighter on the other Hand has never gotten a new Installment since 2006, but instead it just keeps getting Re-Released into Modern Gen Consoles like PS4, PS5, XBOX One and Series X, possibly showing that Timing was really the Series's Bad Luck.
Let’s goo luv ur vid bra
16:14 Virtue Fighter walk so Tekken could run! 🏃

@@bestboxerever3405 I'm not moaning here, I'm just debating the point about the game's impact. You don't have to agree with anything I said

NO FRIGGIN' WAY! I NEVER EXPECTED MY MAN TO DO ONE BETWEEN KOF AND VF! BEEN DONKEY YEARS SINCE WE'VE SEEN THEFIGHTERSDEN DO ONE ABOUT KOF!
Surprise, surprise

Up next shaolin vs wu tang vs battle K road😂
This one is a certified classic. Only FDen would bring us a banger like this. GOATED just like these 2 series.
Make a video on Garouden breakblow: Fist or Twist it honestly has some of the most fun fighting mechanics out there
We need a crossover! We could call it "King of Virtua Fighters"!
Interesting you made a video called KOF vs. VF. The mobile game KOF all-stars had a VF5 collab. Which was crazy at the time because the week b4 i finished watching the VF anime.

KOF are Fighting games in my eyes. the moment
1 KOF as a franchise Dies
2 all KOF and related characters and IP are forgotten (not picked up by anyone, simply forgotten)
Is the Day fighting games die in my eyes.
DoA vs Bloody Roar
One point I would give KOF is accessibility, not in the gameplay sense but in the buying sense. To play Virtua fighter 5 you need either a ps4/5, to buy yakuza, or sail the seven seas. KOF you can just buy it on any platform, so it gets a +1 for accessibility.
Man in the top 10 with any character on VF is top tier
need a DOA vs Tekken cross over
Loved this video man but what would you do as far as soul calibur vs what dead or alive?
Shame that you have to get the VF story from the old 90’s anime. Which by the way was pretty fun to watch.
First to hit!
I love both of these. Not to mention KOF has my all time favourite fighting game character GEESE HOWARD.
But out of these 2. I'm Biased towards Tekken's Dad.
Virtua fighter and DOA should combine forces to create a new franchise just like fatal fury and art of fighting
Virtua Fighter music: Goated to the core!
Gameplay: Virtua Fighter. Like Tekken, there's a lot going on and it's very unforgiving to master.
Story: KOF by a mile. The Orochi Saga, NEST Saga and Ash Saga are regarded as one of the best storylines in fighting games.
Graphics: Virtua Fighter, the 5th game came out a year after Tekken 5, Soul Calibur 3 and DOA 4 came out and it aged like fine wine.

KOF
Someone please help me I’m not big into virtual Fighter
But I want to be what character is good for grappling
Aww man, two of my absolute favorite fighting games series, both of which are underrated by the mainstream. I advocate for both of these series so much man. Literally two of my top 3 favorites (the other being Street Fighter).
What's the outro music Den?
I don’t think the soundtrack & roster comparisons are that fair.
KOF 15 shouldn’t have a better soundtrack because you can play songs from other KOF games. It should be better because the soundtrack has better songs that originate from KOF 15.

7:36 VF Anime (the game) & Kids would like to have a word with you :
9:14 knockout kings 🔥
Kof 15 and its not even close smh💯
💀 what happened to Jacky's face
And to be honest no fighting game lore has a better story overall than kof
Nah, maybe until the orochi saga, or the Nest saga if we're generous.
Bullshit, after the Orochi crap, which wasn't even that good it falls apart. The current arc was ass and predictable as hell with some bitch they had to tack on because ReVerse sucks.
Vf = Needs more expansion
Kof = Needs to treat their characters right and not give them anymore goofy shit
One of the worst pick up and play games and I know my stuff is Virtua Fighter. Never had a room of friends get so bored ever. I know the engine is good. Just not fun. But this isn't which game is more fun to play
Question do you really think this is a fair fight and the reason why I say that is because ain't that Virtua Fighter came out in like 2005 compared to this game that came out what 2 years ago so the technology is different graphic gameplay is different you should have did doa
did you watch the video, VF won lol
Sf6 mk1 kof 15 is the big 3 guilty gear strive is num 4 and tekken is num 5 virtual fighters not even top ten
KOF 13 is better than ALL VF games
Though the Kof series hasn't been relevant at least here in the US, Latin America is where the kof brand is huge in popularity and culture. Virtua Fighter needs a new title or probably a reboot to the series to freshen up for vets and new audiences.
maybe if they reboot VF in a Good way....otherwise hell fucking no
