I could understand that, but Seth is usually one to always give respect to a whole bunch of fighting games, and tries to level with us as much as his job allows him to. But either way, there's not much bait to take, I try to listen intently when people talk, and even I missed that VF joke, so idk if that many people even noticed it.
Plus I wouldn't call VF an underdog exactly, most people give a lot of respect to VF, even ones who don't play 3D fighters. It's one of the few games out there that actually benefits from hivemind assumptions.
As for the game itself, I guess Capcom really wants to sell what they see as joke characters as...well, jokes. And Paul hasn't exactly been the badass he was in Tekken 3 when he took down Human Ogre, you know, considering he's been rival fighting with Kuma. But you don't go to Capcom for decent models (well, at least Ono's department), we got Namco for that. Can't wait for how beautiful they make Chun-Li.
