General Video

@Juicebox_FGC has produced another amazing video explaining the concept of love! Namely, the notation of move commands, the HUD elements, and the basics of starting your offense in Virtua Fighter 5 Ultimate Showdown (and soon, R.E.V.O as well).

SuperGolden wrote a Python script that collects fighting game match data from YouTube videos efficiently. Specifically, with this script, he surveyed over 11,000 VF5US/VFeS online matches uploaded on vfans YouTube account. A variety of stats from those matches, plus a very useful filter and search tool to find specific matches, are available on his VirtuAnalytics website (works only on desktop).

What if Akira spoke in English? How would he sound like? Will he sound weird or acceptable in English? So I decided to have some fun and give it a go by recording his voice. I shared it on social media and fans loved it! I continued the concept by working on the other characters that did not speak 'English'. I got other voice actors involved and this is the end result of the production. Please enjoy!

An unlisted video posted on SEGA's Official YouTube channel on June 4th. "Empower the Gamers; Be a Game Changer; We are SEGA".

Will post in thread when available online.

The "Uramawari Setup" causes the fighter's rising attack from the ground to strike in the wrong direction. For a while now, VFnumbers have been testing different ways for his main character Lei Fei to cause this quirky situation. Now he has made a series of short videos, showing how the entire cast can cause the uramwari!

This post is a compilation of basic character tutorials by miyavi_ngos and they have been subtitled into English. Even though they are videos, this listing of content is valuable to people wanting to learn characters in VF5US.
