OH PLEASE LET THIS BE A GREAT MANY THINGS TO COME!

I'm so glad VF is no longer 'dead' outside of Japanese arcades.

Also i hope they expand the series a bit in terms of being available on other systems (i.e. PS Vita, 3DS, Wii U)

VF 6 Is coming !!

When is the next AOU show ? february 2013 ?

I don't think vf6 is coming. SEGA should first try to promote a little bit more vf5fs. I guess they are planning some vf5fs anniversay edition with some DLC or maybe it's the app for smartphone we wanted some months ago (btw how is that project going myke?)

I think Sega has nothing more planned for VF5FS console ver.
And the arcade got the last revison long time ago.

AM2 might had been working on VF6 since 2010, the timing of an early 2013 VF6 announcement seems right to me.

Please for the love of all that's holy let this be a prelude to a Virtua Fighter 6 announcement!

Great news!

Oh yea, here's to hoping they bring the old throw system back.

I'd place my bet on a Version B.... or maybe VF6 announcement in Feb

Well, if it is V6, I hope they finally put a Caporiera fighter in the game

I'm very lucky to be a late fan of the series if VF6 is really gonna happen

It goes by when the game came out first. So vf5 came out in arcades in 2006 so Akira is 38 years old and Lau is 66 and so on, look at their birthdays and then the year the game came out and there you go you have their age. Good stuff its realistic.

Well I'm going to apply

Weird me surprisingly kept track. The ages in parentheses are how old they would have been if they were in that game:

I thought like cartoon characters, they barely age. They don't even look any older other than (from what i believed) a year older per tournament. Like Sarah doesn't look 30's, she still looks 24 (as of VF5, in my belief).

Glenn Close was 38 in Jagged Edge, and she looked great - a slim, feisty blonde, bit like miss Bryant. Putting genuinely older looking women in VF6 would be a radical step in the wider gaming world, but then this series has been radically progressive for close on 20 years now. AM2 must have whole departments just on the visual and customisation side of things these days. Truly mind popping just how much work must go into a new VF game.

I hope as an anniversary treat, we get some Live Arcade pure VF3 DLC!

Right, I attempted to match the age progression to the story timelines and found major issues starting with the transition from VF3 to VF4. It seems that the artists for the models and the bio writers may have been following the release dates over the prelude text during production.

I'm personally more comfortable going with release dates though it's not a stretch to go with story timelines, just the "a few months later" tends to throw things off with Eileen.

For fun, I actually did a projection (purely speculative) for VF6 at the time I was tracking the ages on the earlier post: keep in mind these follow the release dates + individual character bios still, so feel free to scale back when taking prelude text into consideration. The only one that really throws it off is VF4's "A few months later".

The "2014" was based on an earliest, most realistic release date I could see based on factors such as "next-gen" console release schedules, development time estimations etc. (used to work in the video game industry for almost a decade so personal experience was factored in as well).

The artist notes were mainly for using close comparisons with matching birthdays. Not really for saying "He/She should play X in a movie".

Anyway this was just for fun for a potential "side-project" I was considering working on.

Now do you have a chart for everyones height and weight specially Jean and taka and eileen and blaze?
