How to play Virtua Fighter 5 Ultimate Showdown

[@kaiserrino8774]

This video is about to blowup.

[@NurseLee]

Hey i know this is 8 years old, but I appreciate the video my man! Now that VF is coming back, this video is gonna help out a lot of newcomers like myself. Thanks and take care!!!

[@Kazusus0]

Im hyped for Ultimate showdown as well. Never played VF before. Gonna be mauled online lol

[@zenossaki]

@@Kazusus0 same man this will be my first virtua fighter

[@squeezylemon1162]

loved it as a kid but never got a chance to get really into it so excited for the release

[@brentsta]

I wasn't into fighting games not called street fighter until way after the dark ages So happy to be playing this now I got the dlc right away I would love to see vf6 or this with rollback soon!

Here to prepare for ultimate showdown!!!

[@dave9020]

I was so confused seeing "Ultimate Showdown" and the date of this video, but then I remembered that you can re-name videos.

[@professorofficer9609]

Best fighting game ever. The only problem is hard to pull off the moves you have in mind. It needs 1 month of intense practising to get used to VF mechanics. A 3button game, but a nightmare to master.

At first I was like “this dude knew ultimate showdown was dropping 8yrs ago and didn’t say shyt” but then realized he just edited the title and knew it would be relevant to bring back up again.

[@EXMrDandyJ]

frames is a measurement of time, so more = slower. the game runs at 60 frames a second, so for example a move that takes 30 frames to come out is taking 1/2 a second to come out. 15 frames would be 1/4th a second, etc.

[@Resignedbc27]

Eight years ago huh? Im watching this for virtua fighter five ultimate showdown. The Ps4 remaster. My 1st fighting game.

I'm back 10 years later....This tutorial is still amazing! VF5 is back on PS5!

[@NZOMV]

Great tutorial. Surprised I didn't find this when Final Showdown came out.

[@brendandowning8005]

I really appreciate you spending all the time creating this tutorial video. Honestly though, as much as I tried to pay attention, I found my mind wandering like it did in 3rd year Complex Analysis and staring through the screen with my mouth hanging open. I don't consider myself a stupid person but this game takes dedication and video game technicalities to another level. I so want to get good at this but I've already paid for a university education and can't afford another degree. Perhaps I'll just have to watch it all again...and again. And again. I should add that I've finished the tutorial mode and am aware of the basic syntax that is being used in this video. I played online for the first time the other day and felt like a cripple in a Mongolian cage fight. I was trying things like "offensive manoeuvre" and "up and punch" (on a downed opponent), although I do forget to guard a lot of the time and the second I remembered, I got thrown. I guess I just had to lol, and keep trying, but then I noticed no one wanted to waste their time playing against me and couldn't find any matches. Don't worry, I'll persist, and come back to kick ass one day.

[@tastyDungeon]

Do you still play?

[@jasonelbow3807]

I've been playing this game for years and still come back to this vid for a refresher on my basics.

Brand new player. Can't wait to play VF5!

[@temjin44]

This should be endorsed by Sega.

[@PinkalPeaches]

Still one of the best ways to immerse yourself into VF after all these years. Long video but the time saved trying to figure some of this out easily pays off.

[@GuntanksInSpace]

Was one of the best long-form VF guides back then, still is now. I wouldn't know what I've learned of back then without this.

[@NaviciaAbbot]

Virtua Fighter is the series that follows Bushnell's Law - Easy to pick up, difficult to master, and satisfying with each play.

[@retiredhater]

wow this training mode is amazing, tells you frame data and everything

[@spacewargamer4181]

Not like Tekken lol

[@jasonelbow3807]

And It was free!

[@TonyDaExpert]

Been playing VF for like 10 years but only learned by myself from experimenting and watching some matches on yt for entertainment, time to learn

[@takeOnlyGreatness]

This video is sick, the casual nature of the editing actually adds to it for me. It feels like 2012 while watching this. Keen to use this knowledge to get better at VF

[@tremorchrist84]

Good intro video. Appreciate the effort and want to see a new generation getting in to this series.

[@dravendfr]

Thank you... I needed to know how to jump and attack while descending... I feel so stupid now.

[@michaelromeo9567]

Your video is great man! I should add some French subtitles for people who don't understand english very well ( here in France we are really really bad in english) Found someone to translate it in spanish portugese etc.. You deserve to work for Sega , I can't stop playing that game now.Thanks a lot!

[@213Gremlin]

Casual Virtua Fighter player here. Til I got into fighting games seriously, VF was the only fighting game I played. By the time I wanted to learn for real VF was dead so I played what my friends were playing. Now that VF5US is out, this really helps me get back into VF like I never left. Maximum Kudos for you, sir!

[@mcknife25]

Brilliant been slowly digesting this video since the VF5US trailer debuted. I'm glad you updated the title and description with timestamps, you deserve the traffic big time!

[@siral4487]

Love these games,brings back lots of memories, we played vf2 on saturn forever, could of used your help in the late 90s.

[@kyoushuu_]

Lol this guy was ahead of time this seems like a new vid

[@captainhaggard7030]

Great video. I don't play the game (don't have a console at the moment, otherwise I would), but it was very enlightening about VF (and the design mechanics of 3D fighters in general) so I ended up watching the whole thing!

[@RM668]

Great tutorial I am awaiting the just announced Esports Virtua Fighter

[@SketchCarellz]

Every 3D fighting game should have a tutorial like this. I watched this a few years ago when Final Showdown came out, as I'm mainly a Tekken player. This was really insightful.

[@Megazone23]

The SoA vids are really good, in that they give you general break down of the characters, and then show it in a match. Also VFDC aka virtuafighter(.) com is another good place to go.

[@DiscoJoseph]

Very well done. Thanks for the time location of each section of the tutorial.

[@BegilyBG]

The best "shut the fuck up" I've heard lately, learned about crouch dash.. And I'm only 3 minutes in, hats off sir.

[@OmniCloud987]

Thank you so much for this tutorial. I watched some high level play, picked my main Jean/Jacky, and just went to work with the knowledge I have of fighting games. Got my butt kicked for a few days, but after training against a friend, flew up to Guardian rank in a few days. With my defense lacking though, I hit that wall, and stopped progressing against good players. This video will improve my game dramatically, I knew my defense sucked arse, and this proves it. Fuzzy Guard, evade throw FTW!

Been playing VF since I was 8 on my PS2. Never knew it had so much mechanical depth

[@Megazone23]

You can side-step the 2P in VF as well, you can also buffer an Elbow after immediatley after you block it. 2P is good at low-level play since people's reactions aren't good or they still don't understand the the VF system. There are also crush moves(introduced in VF4?) as well. There are a lot of options to deal with 2P and every situation in the game.

I don't play this game, but i added this on the grounds it's badass and a bunch of work was put into this. I'm sure it will help me learn fighters even better.

If every fighting game came with a professionally edited video introduction with this quality of content we'd have twice the playerbase we do now, easily.

[@finnmarr-heenan2397]

That’s what I’m saying, pay for it to double up as an in depth lesson and marketing for the game, also how come like hype announcement trailers can’t be unlocked in gallery

[@Megazone23]

Yes. Are you comparing it to this one or the FS one. The EVO tutorial is still the gold standard.

Geez option selects are mind blowing. Of course Im at beginner stage with reading off of offensive moves starting with high,mid/throw strings.

saving this video for when I pick the game up...

[@whatsupwithyoudude]

I love you extended tutorial, please make more of other fighting games.

[@Megazone23]

SoCal crew is still doing WNF, despite what you read at EventHubs and other places. The turn-outs aren't that big but they do recordings and post them up, as they haven't been as consistent with the streaming for a little bit. ZeroLovesDnb is the YT where they have recordings and VFDC is where they usually do a head count to see how many people will show. They are doing a E3 meet up as well next Wed.

[@Demonstormlord]

This is awesome work, sir. Thank you for putting this on KZbin. :-)

[@Megazone23]

You're supposed to know by paying attention to where the match is going. Also take in consideration, which direction (usually back or forward) has there most damgaing throws and which ones are good for position change. Against Jean, I always break forward (if I happen to find myself at -10) because that's where his most damaging throws come from. I only break back, when his back is against the wall or end of the stage since that's position switch throw for him.

[@SolidSantanero]

We need character tutorials.

[@arslanhamzah6032]

Did you change the thumbnail and title bro? How is this 8 years old and you have the new game aesthetics 🤣

[@Megazone23]

For the most part it's pretty cool, especially at the website. Just don't berate yourself and make sure to read the Wiki and Glossary before asking questions. If you still have questions after reading them just ask for clarification. Small communties like VF have assholes/griefers, but there are generally more people willing to help than hinder. Sega Cup was awesome and no one cared about the trolls that were there as everyone was just down to kick it/put faces to SN's and play offline VF!

[@RP88888]

mate I honestly have to thank you for this video, mainly the bit about beating down punch, ive just started playing virtua fighter and the one thing that keeps breaking me is peoples desperate down punch, it aint like tekken where u can just low parry or guess side step. I went into practice and seen all the nasty stuff u can get off -5 frames especially goh. So im guessing any move thats -5 and over gets a 17 frame move or less gaurnteed if that person does anything after ? and thank you again

[@spacewargamer4181]

Same

[@Zeronum2]

Is there a way for me to contribute captions? Have lotsa freetime so i wouldnt mind transcribing

[@showti]

​@@Zeronum2 1) Download "Subtitle Edit" application by Nikse 2) Download the VF5 video with Jdownloader 2 or some YT video downloader 3) Import the video in Subtitle Edit by double-click in the right bottom black rectangle "Click to add waveform" 4) Then you can freely write and time your text in .srt format. 5) If you want to read the video in VLC or MPC-HC with the subtitles, name your .srt file the same as the video. Both files have to be in the same folder. My knowledge ends there since I don't know how to transfer the .srt file when you don't own the YT video. Maybe send a PM to the author. Many thanks for your effort but I have to warn you the task is very time consuming.

[@benvids]

So much depth I feel like the trial for this game would keep me busy for a long time. A lot of the depth seems forever off limits to me.

[@MagnumSanada]

Holy shit 2.4 hours. Book marked and watching first thing in the morning.

[@mad-dash6448]

Dawg did you change the thumbnail and title? Lol, I guess they didn’t really change the gameplay itself so why not

[@Laban9898]

I think you should have mentioned about Open Stages and juggling someone out of the ring. Like sometimes you're juggling someone but since they're airborne and haven't fallen at a certain height, they're not "ringed out." But, since you keep moving forward in your combo and your foot happens to step forward to much, you're considered ringed out first although the opponent's character was floating outside of the ring for a little while. I'd say it's a common mishap at lower levels. Thanks yo.

[@Zeronum2]

Should I also watch the SegaofAmerica tutorial vids in supplement to this or is this vid enough?

[@EXMrDandyJ]

In situations where you don't have to do it, it's completely unnecessary and requires more inputs, so I would say it's worse since there's a chance you will miss. In situations you have to do it then it would be better, since it works and normal fuzzy doesn't. The only reason to do it in situations where you don't have to is to create character movement to pressure your opponent.

[@Megazone23]

This game is all about Yomi and strategy moreso than any other fighter, and has been since VF2.

[@niwm]

So... would you say the crouch dash-fuzzy guard is universally 'better' than the normal one? Seeing as how it is faster?
