Ugh, come on. You are being so, so annoying about this...
I just don't see why Virtua Fighter has much of anything to do with Oni. It fails to make any sense whatsoever to me. Different genres are different! They are held to different standards! I don't complain about sports games because I don't shoot people or something... why are you complaining that beat em ups use fighting systems that are simple relative to the deepest 1v1 fighter in existance? It just doesn't make sense to me... the gameplay experience is so dramatically different that you just cannot even begin to hold them to the same standards.
And anyway as I've said ONCE YOU CONSIDER ALL THE FACTORS (level design, enemy quantity, weapons, hand-to-hand abilities, etc...), Oni more than stands up as a game with good depth in its genre (as in, action games or beat em ups...). Which is more than enough for me. It is fairly simple to learn, yet has great depth in variety of attacks... which makes it a lot of fun.
I'd just be happy if you'd just admit that you dislike this genre and thus your insulting me for finding it fun is wrong... because its VERY clear from your posts that that's the case, yet you keep acting like I have some problem for finding Oni fun while its SO OBVIOUS that its boring and the combat is so simple and dull... :chainsaw:
VF is deeper than it. But VF is, as you said, deeper than most any tourney fighter. Or action game, of course. But I just don't see how that even remotely affects the quality of an ACTION GAME.
People don't expect Doom to have a great storyline, just like they don't expect Oni to have a combo system as deep as VF! Honestly, with Oni's gameplay, a much deeper fighting system would not work at ALL... its about as deep as you can get with a action game and still keep the action fluid and easy to control.
