For players new to the Virtua Fighter series, the game may be overwhelming or feel very different from other games they have played. WireMan, who recently finished his A-to-Z of VF5US, has started a tutorial series for new players based on Virtua Fighter 4 Evolution in-game tutorials. Evolution's tutorials was the starting point for many VF fans and is still highly regarded by many.

For new players trying to learn the game through this series, you can follow WireMan on Twitter or Youtube as he plans to release one tutorial chapter per week. Whenever a new chapter shows up, we will update this post with the new tutorial.
