The official Virtua Fighter 5: Final Showdown thread

this has gotta be the best analysis of VF6's info so far:


I love that it's already the case that an otaku of a specific martial art has already found a detail like this, lol. VirtuaKazama already brought it up here too, but this really drives home how it's not just a hint towards story and character design but also realism... hell, I wouldn't be surprised if it even influenced his movelist.

Like I said, these devs do look like they know what they're doing. They're really researching everything, from martial arts to martial arts movies, like how old school FGs were made before they started to just become derivatives of the genre.

Also, holy hell, I just got reminded that Wolf is a Canadian First Nation... uh, I guess, maybe just part Ganondorf now, lol. Would be cool if they took the extra step and made him part of actual tribe, even consulted actual FNs for details. Not kidding, that would be enough to put the game on national news here.

Virtua Fighter 5: REVO World Stage gets a release date of October 30 on all platforms except Switch 2, which is gonna come later. VF5US owners will get a discount.
