So Virtua Fighter 5 Ultimate Showdown is upon us, and I have made this video to help you determine which character you should try out! Its hardly an exhaustive guide(each character is so in depth a proper guide would be minimum 1 hour long each) but should give you a decent idea of the basics of each character and hopefully help you on your journey! This game is launching on playstation plus so there is more than likely millions of people out there trying VF for the first time and I hope I can help make your experience a bit more enjoyable!

This is a series where my "main" character has shifted. In VF1 I favored Pai/Lau. In VF2 3 I favor Lyon/Shun Di. Then Lei Fei became my go to in the VF4 era.

Also, my recommendation to anyone getting into VF for the first time as a veteran who hasn't touched a VF game in a decade ... use the block button. Defense matters in this franchise

Shenmue's prototype title was "Akira"s journey". Which means Akira was originally meant to be Shenmue's main protagonist. Maybe if they'd decided to kept them linked together both VF and Shenmue would have gain more successs? Players could learn about the characters and get attached to them.

@@komlat253 you have a point there, Marshall. It's possibly a situation where a person is imagining "complex" but does not yet have a frame of reference to picture what that term means relative to the game, you know? At the risk of melodrama, I find many subjects to be this way. Nature for example. We know there are "a lot" of stars or spiders, but when someone starts sharing numbers it becomes overwhelming. Suddenly we realize our "a lot" only holds up relative to our experience. I think that, depending on the individual, if the experience calls for a certain threshold of depth, they'll instead choose to return to what they were doing before. We probably all have some subject or experience that puts us in that spot.

Having Akira as the face of the game may be a very subtle form of communicating 2 messages from Yu Suzuki to the gen pop. 1. He looks like your standard middle of the road Ryu pick up and play character when he’s anything but. He isn’t just deep and hard to master BUT he’s simultaneously button mashing resistance personified and learning him requires a serious investment of time and energy but also if you DONT learn him you have no chance. Most ppl unfamiliar with the game will choose him cuz he looks like Ryu upon first playing and that will be their first lesson with this game; this is gonna be WAY harder than you think and there is depth here but you gotta unlock it. 2. Akira being 1 of the hardest to learn and certainly the hardest original character to learn and also being the face of the game is a message to those that know the game; This game is deep, difficult and rewarding. Ppl that know Akira is a bear to learn seeing him as the mascot can also recognize him as a metaphor for the entire engine itself. He speaks not only to the depth of the system but also the reward that comes from mastering it since he, once mastered, is one of the most powerful characters . Once one learns the game they can make any character a complete beast… Okay okay I’ll go take a walk!

Talking about Jean: “I don’t think characters will get designed like this today.” Yeah, but you can’t deny that a French, goth, karateka with chain belts and a crop top under his gi looks rad as hell

Jean is actually half French & half Japanese.

i love how wolf's burning hammer is as you said the single most damaging move in the game ...as in real life it was one of if not THE most protected moves in wrestling with i think only kota ibushi kicking out of it against the brian kendrick in a wwe event

thanks for uploading these VF videos roofle. i had vf3 when i was a kid but i was just messing around. this'll be my first vf to get into and it looks pretty interesting. i think i've come to realize that 3d fighters are more my pace. i tend to pick these up quicker than 2d for some weird reason. appreciate your content bro!

That Akira Yuki short crash course was pretty informative, time to smash some fools and shake some screens! That 1 frame kick took me like 10 minutes to pull off so I'll probably never do it again LOL. It might take some time to get used to his on-hit moves though, he has a lot of them and the input window makes some them really tricky to pull off, but I'll figure it out. I have been waiting years to use Akira ever since I saw him punch him and Jacky's car in Sega All Star Racing and I'm so excited. I want to use him first and then maybe try Goh and Lei Fei afterwards

Thanks so much for this. I've never played a 3D fighting game (unless you count some VERY casual Soul Calibur 2 years ago) so I'm learning how to approach them. I'm relatively new to 2D fighters too, but at least there I know I usually like zoners which aren't a thing here. Right now I'm thinking of starting with Aoi, Jean, or maybe Eileen
@ShumunyaCho2 жыл бұрын
SoulCalibur is a weapons fighter, so it's not exactly the same as hand to hand.
