Well, I picked up VF4 today. Man, it's great. I spent the afternoon playing it with my brother and we had a blast. It's easy to pick up and play, but there is a lot of depth to it once you get past the button-mashing stage and start to actually try to pull off various combos and so forth.

There is also a neat tournament/ranking system that lets you build up one of the fighters and unlock all sorts of hidden items and so forth. You can then play with your personalized fighter against people in Vs. mode or in the several different single-player modes.

Beautiful graphics and amazing levels. I love the snow level. You actually make deep tracks in the snow and can clear it away from the tiles it's on top of as you play!
