  Have you ever realized that it probably took multiple tries to get a scene 
in a Bruce Lee movie the way it appears?  He may have been good, but not as 
good as you think.
  The main appeal of the Virtua Fighter characters is that they are powerful 
- in a fairly realistic way.  They're not magicians, they're combatants.

  But this IS against the CPU, who is typically easy in the VF series 
anyways.  Have you fought another player?  Certainly a different (and more 
difficult) experience.

  Those are certainly deserving of merit, but then they're also weapons-based 
fighters (which can make matches quite short).  Bushido Blade matches can end 
in as little as a few seconds (less than 10) if you're good enough!
