Some fun facts about Virtua Fighter:

1. This game introduced ring-out victories to the genre

2. Initially, the developers wanted to make a team sports game, but couldn't due to hardware limitations. Stuck with only two characters, they decided to make a fighting game.

Virtua Fighter was lauded for its fluid action gameplay. It is considered by many to be the grandfather of the 3D fighting game genre.

The game had a (relatively) grounded roster of 8 fighters, and the plot consisted of the player fighting their way through a world martial arts tournament.
