It is only arcade and local play, yeah. In the Minigame section of the menu when you boot it up. No customization though., or dojo for that matter.

I'ma see if I can get a doc file with all the frame data info if you want to save yourself going to VFDC, and you can test in it local play with friend.
UPDATE:Seems there might not be a doc but I suppose there's no harm in pulling VFDC up on the phone

also its worth noting only Yakuza 6 and Judgement have VF5FS Yakuza 5 has VF2 and I can't remember if anything else has VF but iirc every Yakuza game with Virtua Fighter is just on PS4 unless 7 has VF too.

If that's the case then I might as well just buy the actual VF game. How big/ game changing was the update they added to the arcade version of VF5FS in Japan?

Looks like the Yakuza games have the latest Japanese arcade version of VF. Tough choice.

The update was Japan only was mostly for the competitive scene in Japan. Though Sega has recognized us in NYC and gave our organizer/de-facto leader of our scene, a VF3 arcade board. Those shouldn't be outside Japan period. $15 for base game and $30 for all customs(Note $5 each for character iirc, this is a good ploy but if you only play 1 char, that's OK) and that will unlock ghost mode akin to quest mode's AI.

The update isn't going to matter since you aren't getting the full package of the game. It isn't like SFV or Tekken 7 levels of balancing since remember, Sega already made a balanced game for the most part. You can spend nothing and just get the emulator for PS3 and the ISO.
