    Less than two hours ago, Sega livestreamed an announcement and in depth look at the upcoming Virtua Fighter x esports (Or Ultimate Showdown, as it's known outside Japan. The full stream lasted just over an hour and can be re-watched here;


    Here's a breakdown of the major points discussed;

    Virtua Fighter 1 Skins
    Low poly models for the cast will be made available as DLC for the game. Date doesn't seem to be confirmed yet.

    Online Tournament, Room Match and Team Battle Mode Summer Update
    A summer update at a TBA date will feature an online tournament mode, complete with brackets, and improved Room Match functionality. Finally, a Team Battle mode has been hinted at! Details are scarce, but some footage could be seen in the live stream.
    The Room Matches also seem to feature the ability for spectators to send stickers to the screen to cheer or jeer the players fighting!


    Arcade Cabinet
    An arcade version, complete with cabinet has been revealed! It appears to be a head to head format and uses the character/data cards similar to Virtua Fighter 5: Final Showdown.


    Heaven and Hell Dream Match
    An exhibition featuring some of Virtua Fighter's top players may be going down soon! It will debut on June 1st on Famitsu/Dengeki Online's Youtube Channel



    eSports Circuit - 2021-2022

    An official eSports circtuit will extend from this year into 2022, as the top players battle out to be crowned the champion.
    More details to come, but it seems that players will have to apply and then be selected via lottery for the 'pre season' matches.





    Arcade Stick Prize
    Official 'exhibition matches' will be held, and the winner will walk away with this arcade stick prize! Details yet to come on this one;


    VF Camp

    A website has been launched that Sega describes as being for building social circles, sharing information and building events and community! It sounds like this will be linked to the circuit and the exhibition matches.

      Stream finished.

      https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1038850848

      I skimmed through and spotted some interesting stuff, didn't see them do any online:



      (^ The board's Media button in the editor says it supports Twitch, but it is not handling the VOD's embed correctly.)

      2:09:33 - Mixing and matching VF1 DLC stuff: VF5 Lei-Fei vs VF1 Eileen, on VF1 stage & music, local vs play; at character select, they pushed square ("Select Data"), which popped up a scrollable "Data Select" window; they didn't scroll all the way down, but it showed Type A, Type B, Type C, VF P1, and VF P2 (the four customize data slots are below these, we see later)--for Eileen they picked VF P1, then picked the VF1 stage (there's only one VF1 stage provided, I guess? dang) in stage select, located in the bottom row, center below [?]. This did not change the UI or side-stepping, etc.

      3:02:42 - Customize mode

      3:19:32 - Local vs with customized costumes--square button on char select, scroll to bottom of Data Select window to pick from your saved customs

      4:42:53 - Customize again

      4:53:40 - (this is the Xbox version of FS, for comparison)

      4:57:02 - 5US Arcade mode

      5:19:18 - Dural, Bonus Stage (Arcade mode)

      At the end they say they're "gonna do some more VF this weekend."

      Since you understand Japanese, do you know if they've said when the game will actually be in the arcades in Japan? I often watch streams from Japan and I'm just wondering when they will be able to switch over to the new version of the game, assuming they will of course.

      They still need to fix Sarah. Sarah should look a lot more "badass" than this.
      Glad that they fixed Akira's face lol

      We can finally hear the music of the game !

      I'm starting to think VF5US is a real gift that SEGA has made for us. It seems like they didn't fuck up after all...

      They showed some training mode at the end of this video and it looks like things were improved. You can display the frame data, joystick input and, frame duration all at the same time which wasn't possible before. I love the art style of this game.

      It also seems like they've come up with their own alternative to rollback according to the most recent interview with the producer? We'll see how it goes.

      The hit sparks is a big deal for me. . Especially if it become standard :(
      This not Tekken this not Yakuza . Even if I love Yakuza. But they are many ways to make hit effects than These UGLY Yellow Red and blue 4th of july fireworks !
      A red Flash! this is completely new. And they got rid of the beautiful Final showdown SALIVA DROPS and Sweat effects . :cry:
      Even DoA have more realistic hit effects that brakes VF tradition.
      (But this YAKUZA team seems like they've never played VF before and grew up with Tekken)

      Don't do that for VF 6 and please give us a way to turn it off . Please.

      Hit Sparks ( Horrible) it ruins the experience.:( VF really needs to keep its distance from Tekken. VF's hit indicators have always been better. And DOA gives you the option to turn some of the hit effects off. I play Yakuza and Judgment, and would like both games a lot more without the Hit Effects

      I truly hope they give us an off switch for the Hit Sparks:oops:.

      My 3 main QUESTIONS:
      1) Is there an Option to tun On/Off Hit sparks (for normal hits)?

      2) Is it possible to Pause replay (w/o PAUSE word at the center with hidden framedata HUD), BWD / FWD fast skippinf it? - these features were not avaiable in VF5FS, but w/o them replays analysis becomes nearly useless.

      3) What is the site/email for Feedback/thoughts to the Game devs?

      It's Ryu Ga Gotoku and official VF's official twitter.
      A lot of people are complaining but don't even post requests or suggestions there.
      RGG studio will think their work is flawless . Don't let this chance go away please
      Don't let your favourite game change forever to please non vf fans

      I tweeted them multiple times about VF5US and they didn't acknowledge it even once with a simple, "OK, we'll look into it!"...
