Saturn Saturday: 31 Years of Saturn | Virtua Fighter 2 A Classic 3D Fighter Showcase | Real Hardware

Welcome to this week’s Saturn Saturday, where we’re jumping into Virtua Fighter 2 on the Sega Saturn — a technical marvel and one of the most influential 3D fighting games of the ’90s. Developed by Sega AM2 under Yu Suzuki, VF2 was originally an arcade hit before being masterfully ported to the Saturn in November 1995.

In this stream, we’ll explore:

-The groundbreaking texture-mapped 3D characters and motion-capture animation that made the game a breakthrough in graphics.
-The deep combat system, with over 700 moves, counter-attacks, and ring-outs — plus adjustable arena sizes for wild matchups.
-The roster, including series staples like Akira Yuki, Pai Chan, and new fighters like Shun Di and Lion Rafale.
-Why the Saturn port is still respected — despite some graphical compromises (2D backgrounds instead of 3D), it runs at 60 FPS and brings nearly arcade-perfect gameplay.
-Tips and tricks for both newcomers and veteran fighting-game fans: how to master throws, counters, and ring strategy.

Whether you’re revisiting Virtua Fighter 2 for nostalgia or seeing it for the first time, this stream promises high-speed 3D action, retro vibes, and intense fights that highlight just what made Sega Saturn’s fighting catalog special.
