Virtua Fighter 5 Ultimate Showdown Review - The Final Verdict

As a game, Ultimate Showdown does little to convince you to choose it over the newest Tekken, Dead or Alive, or Mortal Kombat game.
But given how well its core gameplay holds up with its various enhancements, it’s certainly worth a look for fighting game fans looking for something a little different.

[@zakuiizaki4938]

From what I understand, this VF5US was built from the ground up using Yakuza Dragon Engine which is cool. This VF5US comes across as a passion project from probably vets within Sega nostalgic of Sega's days in the sun during the 90s. Always a thumbs up when blue collar game developers get to work on projects they're honestly passionate about, because it shows. Thumbs up for me. Nostalgia done right. ^_^

The low quality sound bites were a legacy thing when VF5 launched. They hadnt stoped using them since 93, so they kept using them.

[@michaelromeo9567]

Sounds evolved and are absolutley not the same as the first BF games. But each sound has a purpose. The "take off air plane" is for full circular moves you can not step. Splash sounds are for minor counter hit. Big sound is for big damage moves over 25 points and so on.. 😉

I'm a bit older I was 17 when the series started but consider it one of the better 3d fighters also unlike DOA I found the move set to be more responsive it was one of my first saturn games that i remember buying though I believe I had something before it but cant remember

[@BuTTuRzz]

The audio is meant to be like that. It's significant for the gameplay. Certain moves make certain sounds so other players can react to it accordingly. THe "WHOOOSH" moves usually mean it's a swaying attack that can hit side steps. The graphics were completely REDONE FROM THE GROUND UP, in the Yakuza Like a Dragon engine. It's not just touched up. There's block buttons in multiple fighting games. MK and Soul Calibur. Also Granblue had a dedicated Block button iirc. It's not really out of the norm. ALSO, what fighting game has a dedicated jump button? The whole reason this is here is to gauge players opinions for another Virtua Fighter. I'm not usually a nit-picker like this. But it urks me that someone who clearly isn't very good at fighting games, is doing a review just giving blatant mis-information. I hope you take the time to properly learn how to play them before you tell people if it's worth their time or not. I'm really not trying to be an elitist here, but this opinion could push those away from trying it just because they like your videos, and all they got was wrong information. Things i did enjoy about your video though, the presentation is top notch. You clearly have a knack for making videos and people will listen. You're clearly being as articulate as you can be about it, even though you're ignorant about the gameplay aspects of it. I respect you and your videos, just put the love into it, it deserves when it comes to games like this. Thanks for the video brother.

Truth

[@ph0xal1c10u5]

As a long time Tekken and SF player, VF has been a very refreshing change of pace. I've never touched VF before, it's never appealed to me, but the new version looks fantastic and I thought why not. I'm kind of regretful I didn't try it before. It's very... "pure" compared to Tekken and SF, which, with my national level competitive history in FG, are much more footsie whiff punish based experience. VF has whiff punishing, but everything is far more in your face, and just as described by veterans, is really a Rock Paper Scissors experience, built far less on reaction time, and far more on knowledge of the game. Well done VF, I sincerely hope the series keeps going somehow someway.

[@mikemadsen7926]

That’s always been vf biggest problem it isn’t accessible and pick up and play...but if you take the time to master it,it actually has the best and most realistic fighting system

[@chrisscott3071]

Because it never needed it. We've gotten too used to just bullshit releases of doa and tekken that add nothing to the game. When we get a virtua fighter 6 it will be because it introduced a new mechanic to the game and I know they will have play tested and fined tuned it for all characters

[@umziwoxolodlodlo285]

Sega is using this to test the market for a possible VF6. Imagine entering a market dominated by Tekken, Street Fighter, and Mortal Kombat/Injustice.

[@carlosaugusto9821]

2d fg's are not a direct competitor. But that doesnt make the situation much better for Sega... The real problem for them is that TK has grown so much thanks to TK7. Maybe it can be said to be the best recent fg sequel along with MK11 (and if we count non traditional fg's, SSBU). TK7 is the only fg that has grown in numbers in Evo Tournaments. Even DBFZ decreased in entrants in its 2nd year. And in the latest Evo TK7's numbers were very close to SF5's. That's a very relevant achievement. At the same time DOA became even less relevant in this generation. So the current 3d world became basically monopolized by Namco's fg's. That's the situation for Sega to face. It's much harder than a 2d fg trying in the early 2010s trying to take some space in during the SF4 and MvC3 domination. The current 3d space is more dominated by Namco than the 2d space in the early 2010s by Capcom.

[@mgm6229]

Even though Virtua Fighter is the best 3D fighting series in terms of game mechanics, it started to lose popularity since the second half of the 2000s. So the only way it has to survive is to aim for the niche fan base.

[@socillizt4life]

I don’t like the Tekken style explosion on landing a punch or kick,VF 5 is better without that addition!Still VF5 is still the best 3D fighter ever by a distance imo

[@THENAMEISQUICKMAN]

Virtua Fighter has always been for the most hardcore fighting game fans. People who value the gameplay over anything else. No screen-filling hitsparks, no meters, no super moves(that games like Mortal Kombat and Tekken let you do with ONE INPUT), none of that. It doesn't try to be a jack of all trades. It knows what it's good at and focuses on that instead of watering itself down for the sake of casual players, who, aside from Mortal Kombat because "omg all the blood", will never care about fighting games anyway.

[@strykah92]

Those ‘one button super moves’ in Mortal Kombat and Tekken you speak of (I’m gonna assume you’re referring to their most recent iterations): Supers in MK11 can only be used once per an entire match once they hit. So there’s a lot of resource management to consider as far as if/when you cash in with them. Tekken only introduced supers and other mechanics traditionally associated with 2D fighting games in Tekken 7, ironically because even the wider competitive FGC was turned off by how hard it was to keep up with Tekken Tag 2/Tekken 6. All supers are guaranteed to lose you the round if they don’t hit (except Hwoarang’s since it’s stance specific). There’s rhyme and reason behind the general design of most fighting game mechanics.

[@matthewlongo6404]

The netcode is actually not the same. It uses servers to offset delay, not saying its perfect but it has changed.

[@trza49er]

I'm truly blown away by this remake, it's been like a gift from the heavens I didn't see coming. Looks sharp as hell and still plays buttery smooth, better than Tekken in my opinion. It's also lightning fast even on the PS4, zero load times and performs very well. Thank you, Sony and Sega!

Still its only early days of Ultimate Showdowns release so maybe it will get some more new content and DLC down the line which would be pretty cool. I hope Sega will bring back Fighting Vipers as that game is an absolute gem and deserves more attention.

[@mareo187]

I don't know why this is a exclusive it should be released on pc, x1, and switch aswell( switch does need a serious 3d fighter in the levels of tekken, doa, and Soul Calibur).

[@YousefTube]

EX Layers is available on the Switch what's wrong with it

[@strykah92]

I suspect Sony partially funded this like SF5, but yeah, strange that there’s not at least a PC version. Perhaps the PS4 version is to test the waters before other ports happen.

[@mareo187]

@@YousefTube not alot of people are aware of that, but there some people wants to see sc, tekken and doa make a return on a Nintendo platform rather than just mk and sf

[@mareo187]

@@strykah92 I hope so

[@JoshSTATiX]

The audio is the same as it was when it launched back in 06

[@YousefTube]

Daaaaaam that's how far old that game was you know what was out in 06 while that game released T5DR, SF Anniversary Collection, MK Deception, I'm not sure if people still playing SC III back in 06 but there you go.

[@N5O1]

this game looks better then newly announced Tekken 8

[@marekkos3513]

I know.I want this game on pc so much

[@edmaster93]

This game is not stiff, is not casual with button mashing that press squeare 8 times and you have a 8 hits long combo. This game is more technical, you have to train with your character in order to use his full potential just like real life with a real martial art. You have to master your character and each character is unique in that, everyone has is own style and grace that fits anyone in the world.

Deleting comments is whacked

[@BadEyeBill]

I can't tell if I'm losing me mind. It won''t let me play local vs. with 2 wired arcade pads. I can't begin to comprehend why it won't let me. How am I supposed to play with my roommates? WTF?

[@BadEyeBill]

Found my other controller. The system needs two wireless controllers to start local vs mode. You may then switch controllers and now you can play with arcade pads. Its just a weird oversight.

[@remarkableputter6622]

How does it compare to Tekken 7...

[@adamdickerson2762]

I want to see the career mode come back more than anything

[@YousefTube]

There's no career mode unless you talking about the the mode where you play matches in different locations as if you're in fighting tournament scene.

[@YousefTube]

@@adamdickerson2762 I think need a story mode out of anything I don't understand how Sega can make a deep Story for Yakuza and many more games but lazy to tell a story for VF

@@YousefTube i agréé I’m also a Tekken fan and the writing in tekken 7 is nothing short of pathetic.. we do need good writing in fighting games I totally agree

[@YousefTube]

@@adamdickerson2762 that's the problem when Japanese developers don't understand English the communication is lost man that's why i appreciate that we got talented developer like Ed Boon to communicate with I just went back n watch the way they make old Mortal Kombat games n I was nothing but amazed by how creative they're with making a fighting game.

Once again they neglected the PC players, i guess they don't want our money...

Kage is my favorite in vf I smack everytime I play the arcade version I love how they had every combo for every character right under the screen on a sticker 😂

They need to add Yakuza characters in VF 5 US. Please can we get this trending 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@umarraja6161]

Is this game very good? I heard some negative reviews with some fans despite me being a fan myself.

[@JoEs_Do9]

This game needs a damage scaling update

[@nightmisterio]

MK sucked. There was no fight flow, it was really "static"

[@charlesajones77]

Now if we could just get this on PC.

[@pawebernas7725]

Is there the Quest mode ? The best single player mode evete made by Sega!

[@retromuel]

Yeah I wanted a quest mode. I poured hours and hours into that back in the PS4 days. Doesn't seem that there is one though. Shame. There's too many dickheads online - I prefer playing single player or with a friend on the couch.

[@shaunw1966]

We have to put that out there in as many comments as possible. I hate how games titles are moving away from single player options as if they only serve online tournaments!

[@KeyBladeMaster-Dan]

No this re-release has basically no content and I'm beyond disappointed I loved this game back on PS3 I spent sooooooo many hours on Quest Mode

[@undrtddrmzmedia3331]

Nope no quest mode this is as bare bones as a fighting game gets

[@neonpop80]

Another sub par effort on Sega’s behalf. Constantly screwing over their true fans. For this price (45 bucks in Australia), there should have been a Virtua Fighter collection, containing ALL Virtua Fighter games.
