Hmm, I need to take a look at low poly models topology to answer that, but considering they used high poly models renders as textures, I guess the high poly models aged even more.

Topology and texturing in low poly models is a fascinating subject. I mean, some SFEX models had way more polygons in some areas than the SFEX2 models, but SFEX2 models had better texturing and clever topology than SFEX.
Virtua Fighter 2 models had less polygons than the first one too, I guess. The first one was way over Playstation-tier (Akira alone had about 2100 polygons, while Playstation characters even in fighting game usually are around 700 polys) but looked blocky as fuck. Every VF1 port had a smaller polycount than the arcade original.

Tekken 1 still look awesome though. So bad it's good.
