YMMV / Vs

• Cliché Storm: One major criticism in regard to its gameplay and aesthetics. A reviewer from the video game magazine GamePro stated that "Vs. is an extremely competent game with the misfortune of stumbling into some bad timing. If it had been released, say, 18 months ago, it would've been the greatest thing since sliced bread and probably could've started its own religion. Unfortunately, Vs. offers nothing new to the already solid lineup of 32-bit 3D fighting games established by Tekken 2, Soul Blade, and Fighters Megamix."
• No Such Thing as Bad Publicity: One of the fighters, Slim Daddy, being a pimp brought about condemnation from religious leaders and other Moral Guardians towards the makers of Vs.. At the same time, the outrage from those groups did bring a mild backlash by some of the video gaming audience who bought the game to spite the critics and thus unwittingly provided some visibility for Vs.. However, again due to the overall mediocre reception of Vs., the exposure brought by the controversy subsided shortly after.
• Squick: According to Larry Bundy Jr. (stated in this video here), Mia, the Stripperiffic poster girl of Vs., was based on the daughter of the head of THQ.
