I dont own a PS3, but ive played VF5 at a local FYE and was really dissapointed. I'd get Dark Resurrectin if its half as good as the PSP version.

agreed the moves in virtua fighter 5 are so hard it's really rewarding when you get a good move perfected I spend more time learning moves in the dojo than I do fighting, you need heaps of time to even get good at a single player, I own tekken Dr as well cause I really like fighting with a few of the characters

I would go with Tekken. I had VF5 and I traded it in a day or two playing with it. I feel you can pull out your moves better in Tekken than VF5 imo.

I have both of them!  Sadly I might add!  Tekken is much much better than Virtua Fithter 5......VF5 is just too damn hard. It's too fustrating to lear anything in it. If you like a hard game...that takes forever to learn and master and you really really have time on your hands and you like a fighting game with a few caracters and no storiline than VF5 is your game.  If you need something that's more fun and actually enjoyable then get Tekken 5 DR untill Tekken 6 hits!

I own both of them, and I believe Virtua Fighter is better hands down.. but it is more expensive.  If price is an issue, get Tekken, but otherwise Virtua Fighter is way better and requires actual skill, instead of button mashing!!

If you have some talent (that is, if you're capable of remembering combinations of buttons and not button mashing) - get virtua fighter

If you're incapable of pressing the required key sequences - get tekken like the lamos who posted earlier.

I never said every Tekken player is a button masher but actually becoming a skilled player is kinda pointless when a 6 year old who picks a certain caracter and hits square repeatedly completely owns you.

ez tekken hands down, if u dont have any friends around who play VF5, then whats the point really? I dont have friends who play either in RL, but I can at least go online and own some ppl with actually skills and combos anytime i want.

Tekken isnt just button-mashing, sure u can win that way against an unskilled opponent but if ur playing some1 who is actually good u wont get very far.

If anyone is getting beaten in Tekken by 6 year old button mashers, then

1) They too are pathetic button mashers who don't know the value of blocking

2) Don't understand Tekken's system of blocking/parrying/sidestepping to create and opening in your opponent

I watch my brother who's like 7th Dan or something like that and the matches last about 5 times as long as the ones with the noob because people are playing the game correctly.

That said, having both games in the household between me and my brother, I enjoy T:DR's community more because it seems people are a tad more mature, less serious, and more interested in having a good time, then VF5's absolutely UNBEARABLE E-peen ambassadors.

To all VF5 players who feel to constantly insult and alienate people online, GET OVER YOURSELF. VF5's players are all Halo fans anyway and I quit that game online because they were all gangsters on welfare who felt the need to let you know they "owned you're noob ass"

OK venting over...

Virtua Fighter has a more "technical" fighting system than Tekken. Some like it better, some don't. I personally find Tekken to be more fun. Tekken is also more accessible to the average gamer than Virtua Fighter. You have to practice to be good at Virtua Fighter. It would be a much harder choice if Virtua Fighter was playable online. If it was...I'd go get a copy of it. Since it isn't, I'm playing Tekken.

Im a tekken fan but i have vf 5. None of my button mashing friends could beat me in tekken. Although i do agree that if you just mash buttons you can pull of some combos, which isnt possible for most of the VF characters. The timing on some of the VF moves are extremely unforgiving, like having to push 10 buttons in less than 3 secs, although if you use the trigger buttons you can easily pull some of them off.

All in all VF is deeper but the moves lack flair and feel lame. Not to mention that the characters in VF 5 look like total crap.

in response to TC, get Tekken because it's more fun. VF5 feelsweird because of the STIFF movement. Tekken on the other hand is more flexible.

Tekken is faster and easier to get into but the gameplay can get really deep if you play a skilled player. If you have friends you'll pick up Tekken because of how easy it is to get into over VF5.

PS. I've never lost to a button masher. Learn to play and button mashers become a non-issue

Virtua Fighter 5 is a better fighter to me, but DON'T buy it over Tekken 5 DR. First of all, Tekken 5 is ONLINE! And Tekken 5 is only 30 bucks, the actual game is only 20. Trust me, unless you have a ton of friends to play VF5 with you'll get tired of it. Online play brings so much more to the experience.

That's the great thing about VF though. You really have to know your move set with WHATEVER character you have. Tekken can be deep for gameplay but it doesn't touch VF's deepness. I've played so many matches in VF4 and VF5 and Tekken 5. When you get good with a character in VF you feel unstoppable. It's just a great feeling. Tekken can just be broken sometimes and it fustrates me... But I'd still get Tekken5 DR cause it's online and you'll play awesome players on there.
