    Was never a massive fan of Virtua Fighter I’d rather see a return of Fighting Vipers! Or even an update on Fighters Megamix which does have some Virtua Fighter characters appearing and is like a solid mix of the two.

        Fuck yeh project justice, I forgot about that. All these games have so much more character and charm than Virtua Fighter which is just dull in comparison.

          Project Justice is coming back in the next Capcom Fighting Collection, some time next year. Along with Plasma Blade, CvS Pro and CvS2, etc.
