Virtua Fighter 5

Welcome to the Virtua Fighter 5 series!

Story(top)

The Fourth World Fighting Tournament had come down to one final bout between Kage-Maru and Shun Di. But as Kage-Maru launched his final offensive, the glowing, silver form of Dural interrupted the match.

“Mother…” Kage-Maru whispered, facing the transformed being that had once been Tsukikage. Knowing full well that it was too late to save his mother, Kage-Maru destroyed her with his own hands. But when he looked at her face, his expression froze. “This is…”

Concerned by Dural's defeat, J6 captured Vanessa for the next step of the Dural program. But before they could turn her into the next Dural, she disappeared – apparently with inside help. But they had already transplanted her combat data into the production-model Dural, and thus J6 announced the Fifth World Fighting Tournament to test the abilities of the new V-Dural and to determine the identity of any traitors within J6.

What is J6?(top)

Judgement 6, or J6, is made up of six global corporations. Together, they exert enormous influence over areas ranging from weapons development to international politics. J6's goal is to complete their subtle form of world domination.

System(top)

Understanding the complete system in VF5FS can be quite a daunting task, so different aspects are split across multiple pages to help digest the information, as well as for future referencing. Whether you journey through it from beginning to end, or just randomly, you'll find just about every aspect of the system explained in simple, and sometimes advanced, terms.

If you're looking for something in particular, you'll find the built-in Search in the wiki side bar extremely handy. Alternatively, while viewing a wiki page, press Ctrl-F (or Command-F for Mac users) to search for text inline.

Feel free to discuss or enquire into any aspects of the system over in the VF5FS Dojo Forum at VFDC. You can also use the Forum search to help you look for any past discussions on specific subjects.

Characters(top)

Choose a character for more detailed information. You'll find everything from their back story, win/loss quotes, costumes, stages, and handy summaries for punishment and basic combos. Each character section also includes a handy "Starting Out" guide aimed specifically at beginners to VF and/or the specific character, as well as more in-depth move analysis and strategy guides.
