Fair play is important in fighting games. The difference isn’t as much in the gameplay mechanic as much it is in the fact how computer opponent uses them. When I’m playing VF5 I do get frustrated after Lion has kicked my monkey ass the sixth time in a row, but I simply keep going and enjoy it. The urge to smash something physical comes to mind mind, a thing that I’ve long time ago discarded in any situation. The experience from DoA4 is mainly bad frustration and hatred. They’re almost the same game! Why is the experience so different then?

I’m astonished how different kind of reaction I’m getting from these two games.

As I said in my previous post, I’ve been playing both Dead or Alive 4 and Virtua Fighter 5 lately.
