You must have played against VF deficient players.

The proper term would be VF Casuals. Yes, could be, you don't see many pros, the learning curve is huge.
In my local arcade people were more into KoF and (at some extent) Tekken anyways.

Oh ok.
Generic faces are a somewhat valid complain (And like I mentioned, the clipping)

but at least Tekken's is ridiculous enough to work.

Zack's story is hilarous (There's your personality... Bass works too), Hayabusa Jan-Lee and Hayate for general badassery, I don't care abut the rest, most endings are generic fanservice (Hitomi, Kasumi, Lei-Fang...then Again Tekken also has Anna..or Nina's ending, I forgot). I play for the gameplay though, not for the endings.

The rest of your points are, yes, matter of taste, still... DOA's designs aren't as generic or uninteresting as you think. And Tekken isn't the pinnacle of character designs (Lilly, generic sumo, Baek) I don't dislike Tekken though.

Complaining about the counter button (Again, seems like you haven't played the latest games where counters are harder to pull, can be properly punished and barely affect gameplay) it's like complaining about KOF's roll, I mean... sure, you can, it's valid, but that element makes the franchise different to the rest.
