Though on a smaller scale, other graphical touches add to Virtua Fighter 4's realism. AM2 incorporates an impressive particle system to simulate snow and sand. The results should be quite interesting to see. On Jeffrey’s beach stage and Aoi’s winter stage, the environment is deformed depending on the actions of the players. Combatants kick up sand and snow as they move about and even leave trails in heavily trafficked areas. On other stages, the floor will actually chip and flake up as it takes more abuse over the course of a match.
