Why was Virtua Fighter a miss in the west compared to the major hit it was in Japan?

Was this really considered impressive at the time? Money For Nothing looked better 10 years earlier.

When did 3D fighting games stop pushing the envelope?

Can someone explain to me the appeal of this franchise?

The fighting is not realistic enough, as real 1v1 fights are more akin to the early 90s Vale Tudo/MMA matches. The game is also not "arcadey" enough like Tekken of Soul Edge. It has weird, awkward combat that is presenting itself as being a serious representation of martial arts, yet at the same time it is not grounded in reality.

SEGA

LightWeight is a notable mention too. Unfortunately, the quality of their games declined significantly in later years.
