Virtua Fighter 5: Final Showdown

[BLACKSTAR]

Good sites to start learning VF with:

http://www.virtuafighter.com

http://mycheats.1up.com/view/superguide/3150467/virtua_fighter_5/ps3 : a very old (5 years!) guide based on the Vers. B/PS3 version, but it's still probably the best VF guide outside of the Virtua Fighter 4 Evolution tutorial mode on PS2. Pretty much 90% of the stuff still applies, and the things that don't (like throw escape techniques, and character-specific stuff) are pretty obvious. Everything you need to know to become an intemediate-expert player IMO

It's one thing to have the ultimate version, final version of a fighting game come out, and then its sequel is announced. If VF6 was to come out a year after this final showdown's release, then hey, I personally wouldn't mind. But if they released Final Showdown, and announced Final Final Showdown ver. 'ferrealthistime', then I would be INCREDIBLY upset. I think that's also why VF5 R didn't come to consoles.

Kinda silly reasoning on Sega's part. Watching R, I just wanted that and put VF5 aside entirely.

Now Vanessa, she's probably one of the most complicated characters in VF history

Damn, I knew one of my choices would fit a category like this >_< Thanks for your advice/suggestions though, I think I'll go with Eileen first then. And also for the links, I was wondering if there was a main site for VF. I imagine their traffic is going to be on the increase rather soon.

www.virtuafighter.com is the main site.

Lau is also easy to learn and a powerhouse. (Jacky, Sarah, and Pai are more fiddly IMO.)

I don't remember if I said it in this thread or not but you'll probably see me using Jean and Brad.
