Closest PSX game to Virtua Fighter 2

[Guest2]

I loved VF2 on Arcade and Saturn but unfortunately it was never ported to Playstation.

What's the next closest thing?

Dead or Alive has some of the VF2 sounds and characters are oddly very similar. Kensei - Sacred Fist also comes quite close

Tekken probably

Definitely Tekken. Roughly the same age with a similar roster of characters

I’ve played the Tekken series and yes its a great game but not the same style as VF2.
Dead or alive and Kensei and more like VF.
Tobal 2 aswell

Maybe checkout Bloody Roar

Thanks, will have a look at Bloody roar 2 aswell.
Why did Sega never release Virtua fighter 2 on Playstation / PSP? It would have been a huge seller.
Where was a PC version which was great and ran well on Windows 98

PlayStation was a direct competitor to the Saturn and Dreamcast. It was only when Sega dropped the hardware that they started developing for other platforms.

Street fighter ex series?

Street fighter ex series?

Good shout, although I wouldn't say it had the pace of the VF games. It does have one of the best (if not the best) Sound tracks of all time. I still listen to the series OST too this day!

What about battle arena toshinden?

What about battle arena toshinden?

Good game. However only battle arena toshinden 3 was 60fps and only in an optional mode that was untextured.

Edit. Dead or alive certainly seems the closest game so far to Virtua Fighter

Battle Arena Toshinden playing as Fo just for his laugh when he wins

Another vote for Tobal 2.

Ehrgeiz is another option, though good luck finding it for a decent price.
