Virtua Fighter playthrough (SEGA Saturn) (1CC)

Playthrough with Kage. Watch as I use the same boring combo over and over again just because it works against the cheap as hell CPU!
Virtua Fighter was a launch title for the SEGA Saturn, and, like most of the other Saturn launch games, was rushed to meet the console's release date, which had been moved forward. The graphics in the Saturn port are inferior to the arcade version's, and there are a lot of clipping issues.

4:55 HAHAHAHA headbut dragonballz style everyone is missing the target!!!!

[@SammyP321]

Ahh these were the days when I had absolutely no worries in the world :)

[@darrenklein6090]

I know what you're saying. They had this at an arcade at the beach when I was a kid...

Same.

So true

This game.....ugh! Just hearing the lil chime before selecting characters makes me smile uncontrollably...

[@MrCalverino]

1993 & 1994 were my favorite years in gaming

[@khaledabosere3684]

That nostalgia, these days, that game It's was an honor to play this game and live these days and have a good time 🥰🥰

[@SmangItDrums]

4:56 Nothing but back to back to back to back head dives. Jeeze, talk about one hell of a concussion later. I owned VF2 on Saturn and LOVED it.

[@David315842]

The headache that poor Kage must have had afterwards though, OUCH! :D

[@drjcaldwell]

We dumped so much money into the arcade machines to play this. Great memories. We probably could have bought a console with the quarters.

[@brandonstrader1969]

Still, l think that the graphics look very cool of their day, eventhough its really been that long...

[@kieranstark7213]

I think regardless of the time, the graphics of Virtua Fighter kick major ass!

[@shaneburchfield5132]

The nostalgia..it hurts. Parents threw out the Sega a while back. I fear I'll never get to play this again :(

[@thesch2867]

Shane Burchfield you could get the pc version.

Never heard of emulators?

[@aurelius-sparks]

Emulators exist, and maybe those are better, haven't played this game yet.

[@aurelius-sparks]

@@doom5895 Oh... Well then, have a nice day!

[@itslikewhatever]

You and alt costume Kage had an intense diving headbutt showdown there. :D I loved this game as a youngin'. I still hold the VF series in higher regard than any other 3D fighting series. VF > Tekken, Soul Calibur, DOA, etc.

[@skamillion1018]

The favorite part was making the character trip and fall over the edge while celebrating victory😂

[@andrethegiant3035]

This was my jam man!!! Wish I still had all my old stuff.

[@Adamd-rr1rr]

Love this game brings back so many memories, here's an interesting fact originally Shenmue was going to be called Akira's Quest on the Sega Saturn based off Virtua fighters Akira before they decided to change the name

[@snowdjagha]

Oh god! I didn't remember the characters looking so shitty! Oh the memories... Kage was also my favorite.

[@dikkeroege]

***** Virtua Fighter never looked "pretty" to me but polygons were awesome.

[@snowdjagha]

***** Yup. Me too.

[@archanea7788]

Polygons in VF 1 sucked, but the game itself was good

[@DmitriyK12]

Gritty , not shitty ... surely that's what you meant to say !? 😒😊💪✌️

[@ericshun3331]

Yo when you played this after nintendo it looked pretty fuckin sick hahaha

[@kuribo1]

That is still actually some smooth movement, brings back the memories.

[@oosha2000]

I remember playing it on my pc as a kid. I wasn't a pro back then but I loved the graphics, the characters and the voice-over. Memories. I only had hard time recalling the name until I found it.

[@Nightshift10000]

I really love the Backgrounds to Wolf and Durals stages

[@0_________________]

Although the graphic looks very dated, the motion design is still one of the best out there

[@rommix0]

That along with Turok for the N64 which is one of the few games to use motion capture.

[@p00x39]

I don't remember it so.... blocky! :) My eyes must be spoiled by all the fancy graphics today.

[@theobserver4214]

They were always blocky, just when you were a kid you thought they were like today's graphics

[@rafaelsantiago7]

Damn. I played it when i was a child on the PC. Good times.

[@David56583]

That games was litereally my childhood. Well it played a big roll ya' know.

[@crankymcgee]

I remember how high-tech this seemed back in the mid 90s lol. The machine was the most expensive in the arcade....it was like 6 quarters for a single credit

Still remember when this came out and Starland was full of people watching others play the game.

[@lemons2300]

Good ol days.. (cries internally)

[@DHANK88]

This was a must play game before leaving Walmart back in the day 😂 But I definitely had it mixed up with Tekken as a kid though

[@fawkkyutuu8851]

Revolutionary 3D fighting. I STILL prefer this 5th gen polygonal prototype looking graphical style here with beautiful pre-rendered backgrounds than most of the smooth realistic fighters today. 3rd , 4th and 5th gen had more style and creativity using less , and aged better to me. This was once state of the art.

[@emanatingf]

Fun fact: An easy way to visualize the brain is thinking of it as a croissant

I was 15. I remember playing this in the arcade at Six-Flags and spamming cheesy combos before spamming was really a thing.

My first PC game... that Lau stage almost ruined my childhood

[@rommix0]

Before people had Tekken we had this.

[@jessie4pink615]

It's a shame the Japanese version suffers from choppy frame rate from being rushed, The pal version runs a lot lot smoother and no jerkyness but runs slightly slower 50hz but Sega did code it to run in full screen for us UK players.

@@ProfileFb done brother

[@nickolasecker9596]

I don’t know why I don’t own this game on the Saturn! I personally believe the 32X version is superior but not worth purchasing a 32X over. I love how dated the visuals look, very retro chic.

[@jay.fromthebay]

The 32x version IS better, the soundtrack mauls this one too. Was.my favorite 32x game.

[@muzakman7509]

The 32x version looks nothigg like the arcade version though. The Saturn version glitches a lot but captures the feel and visceral action of the arcade game much better. Just take a look at the 32X version. The visuals don’t glitch, that is true and there are some more play options but it lacks the excitement offered by the Saturn version. Just because the Saturn version has come visual flaws does not mean the 32X version is superior.

Happy 25th anniversary!

[@craigjuan5744]

When I played the big screen arcade cabinet on my trip to Las Vegas, I was blown away by the visuals of Virtua Fighter. Though I sucked at the game, I had fun playing it. But man, that game did not age well. Their sequels, including the Remix version are way better. Virtua Fighter has come a long way since then.

[@tino9117]

0:50 that same grunting in the music can be heard in Sonic CD's stardust speedway bad future JP

[@shredjward]

Also in Perfect Blue in the second Idol track, believe its "Okay All Alone"

Kage got a pretty sturdy head. All that failed attempt of head diving.

[@yobaseen21]

Those graphics wowie

[@Vanished_Mostly]

Can anyone tell me what Kage is saying during those jumping attacks? You know, like the 4:56 everyone is talking about.

[@felipevergara945]

best game of all time.

[@fabiocastro4908]

4:56 EPIC 😄

[@Lavabug]

This game is my favorite fighter ever. I would always spam Kage (both in VF and VF2) and I never lost a match in the arcades! Best moves were fwd down fwd+down + C fwd fwd + A+B+C back + B and turn around to follow up with any flip kick and that throw you could only do from behind The 32x version was the best... no loading times and nicer sounding music IMO.

[@razor9635]

***** the pc version was basically virtua fighter remix it was cool but god if it was awful playing iton a keyboard i didn't know back then that pc gamepads existed

[@razor9635]

***** i know :P

[@razor9635]

***** yes... but arcade quality sticks costs a fortune i have one but it's good but nowhere near the one that you find in coin ops i could try to mod it the buttons are easy to replace but the joystick it's a pain in the ass

[@razor9635]

***** good luck :)

[@DavidCerqueiraa]

hey! i know this is an old comment, but do you happen to know where i can listen to the soundtrack of this game? I want the song from the "Congratulations" screen so bad :(

the soundtrack upgrade was what i loved most about this game on the saturn, the remix version and obviously vf2 were infinitely superior. "NAMU!"

[@jay.fromthebay]

Believe it or not, the soundtrack of Virtua fighter in the 32x was even better than this.

[@seandafny]

Dese graphics was hella good for the Sega 💯

[@JROC4LYFE808]

1:22 anybody know where ican just find that sound alone ?

[@empathybaby]

Jacky and Sarah were brother and sister, Lau and Pai were Father and Daughter, any other families in this?

[@azariahkyras7736]

Dural was Kage's missing mother...

[@lsadin2457]

Lau Chan looks like Tao Bai Bai xD

[@bubbaflowers8572]

is this version worth buying? i like the low polygons though are there any terrible glitches that would make the game bad for some one new to the series?

[@TeriTheLemon]

There are no glitches to my knowledge but you should get virtua fighter remix it's the updated version of vf1 and it fixes some of the problems that the first one had if you are thinking of getting vf1 then it's a good choice.

[@DynoDeeno]

Classic

[@Noobasaurus]

i dont think this easter egg ever been show online but if you take a copy of virua fighter an put it in a cd player you get this crazy creep werewolf growl
