    New announcement from AOU!

    Virtua Fighter 5 R!

    New character, supposedly using karate as his form (they just said he looks like he uses it)

    and...

    TAKA-ARASHI!

    HE'S BAAAAAAAAAAACK!

    Well not really. They said that a character that looks eerily similar to Taka-arashi was seen in the demo videos. 4 new stages confirmed, and possibly some other new stuff later on in a follow up report.

    Just found out from Rain (HK-VF.Net admin) that there's a short demo being shown at the Sega booth at AOU 2008.

    Maybe some bootlegs will surface soon!?

    Watch this space!

    The non-square shaped rings with the High fence and Ring Out feature is interesting.

    Any takers on what the R stands for? Revolution is probably an obvious guess.

    agh too bad, I was hoping for a more dynamic fighting style like penjak Silat, capoeira or a Korean style like hapkido, tae kwon do or Kuk sool wan. Before you guys flame me, I'd like to state that its only my opinion.

    My initial thought when I saw it - VF5: Revolution. Or else, it is just SO far advanced, that they skipped straight from Ver. D to Ver. R. =P

    I actually agree on the style LA Akira - my first thought was: Karate? What a copout... same with bringing Taka, since they are both styles they probably won't have to invest as much effort in. I wanted some cooler styles (although I never played VF3, so it might be interesting to fight against).

    following the link on page 1 of the thread, this is what google translated:
    <div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Quote:</div><div class="ubbcode-body">February 15, 2008 from the opening of the Makuhari Messe in Chiba Prefecture AOU2008 bombshell announcement of the Sega booth!  Virtua Fighter arcade games, the 5 Series and the new R, Virtua Fighter 5 is announced. Operational details such as timing is undisclosed, but the images of the public demonstration. Like karate new characters and the Virtua Fighter 3, appeared in the "hawks storm" bear close resemblance to the figure shown up wrestler. It was a very short footage, but also a new stage could only confirm that the follow-up hope! </div></div>

    Can any Japanese speakers make sense of that for a better translation? Why does it mention wrestling and VF3?
