  Yeah, but it's not really a FIGHTING game, per se.  Especially if you look 
at lot of Capcom's games - it's more about memorizing combos and shooting 
projecticles than actually learning how to fight (in hand-to-hand, BTW) well!

  Where do you get this "bad control" thing?  I'm using the -PC- version of 
VF2, and the controls are so intuitive it's scary.  I can defeat the CPU in 
two perfect sets!  It may be a bit easy (I do agree with that issue), but the 
fact that I can even do so at all is testament to the control scheme.
  Once again, what the heck is so important about combos?  It's only 
memorizing a sequence.  You might as well spend a few bucks to get one of 
those Simon memory games; you'll get the same amount of entertainment for 
less cash.  In the VF series you have to acquire skill, not just moves from a 
strategy guide.
PS No, I don't know about the status of SF EX Plus Alpha.  But why would you 
care?  It's too much like the 2D games.
