watched the community celebration with exhibition matches a couple days ago. what's crazy to me is how jumping is actually viable. other 3D fighters play like it might as well not exist.
Since I laid my eyes on the VF1 at a local arcade in the summer of 1993, I knew it was the FUTURE. For those of us who played fighting games in the 90s, there was a broad consensus (by mid 90s) that the 2D fighting game was obsolete and on the way out (even Capcom and SNK tried to make 3D versions of their big franchises). It's funny that most new fighting game titles that came out in 2020s (thirty years later) are predominantly 2D fighters with anime graphics. Back in the 90s, the "dream" of all fighting game developers was to (eventually) represent real martial arts on the TV screen. After the maturity of CG in early 2000s, it seemed that the dream was realized and the developers (as well as the players) suddenly lost their interest. Enough for the rant. VF is back.
I remember in the early 2000s if you played even 3rd Strike or even KNEW what Mark of the Wolves or any 2D that wasn’t Marvel or CvS you stood out. By the time SF4 came out things changed in a big way
So happy we are getting Virtua fighter back! I’d also love Nintendo would get one or a collection of older games. Was very pissed off to not have VF4 for GameCube (borrowed ps2 from my friend to play it) or VF5 for WiiU.
A Sega Fighting Collection akin to the Capcom ones would be nice. Maybe throw in Fighters Megamix and Sonic the Fighters (with the fixed version of Hioney from the PS3/X360 release).
The best part about VF is not having to wait 5 seconds every-time you get hit to play the game again. Decisions happen very fast and you often have 3 or more options you can make in any given advantage or disadvantage you are put in. It's why people often say the game feels balanced at all levels of play, there's just so much control and options for both players and the game never takes that away from you with a super meter, huge combo extensions or come-back mechanics (well besides ring outs, lol)
0 frames of input delay is so immediately better in every way that it's absurd that it took this long to get here. People can finally legitimately actually for real play the game how it's supposed to be played, and feel it how it's supposed to be felt. VF renaissance hopefully as long as sega doesn't pull a sega
Being a Pai player, it is really easy to figure her out when playing against more amateur players. She has tons of high attacks that you can easily duck and punish. Even with that low kick to a roundhouse that the opponent was doing, you can take the first hit and still duck under the roundhouse and punish. BIG! It breaks down to this. If Pai is foing a 3 combo starting woth 3 punches, just duck and block. It either ends over your head and punishable, or low, blocked and punishable. She seems overwhelming but you can easily overcome it.
@@raionbomber75exactly. It had the same stage type and it just didn’t work. Me personally, I agree with that sentiment. Tekken doesn’t play like VF, and that’s fine. Fighting games have different mechanics for a reason
Playing Akira at this level is no easy task! Bravo Max! 👏🏾 Just dloaded this game yesterday and learning Kage! Feels refreshing from Tekken Calibur 8!!!
and yet every FGC member that knows this game will tell you that it's one of the most fast paced games I agree with what you said when you add: "If you don't know what you are doing yet, it feels like fighting underwater" Once you master your char, which can take quite a lot of time, and get a feeling for the system it becomes the most intense and beautiful fighting game out there
It feels way better with 0 frames of input delay. But otherwise it's just a game feel thing you gotta get used to. Treat your characters like they're martial artists in a showy movie and develop a flowchart for yourself and you'll see your character flow seamlessly from one move to the next. Once it clicks, it clicks hard.
If I were to be 100% serious, this game has more decisions per minute for both players than any other fighting game that currently exists, and rounds in this game don't even last a minute.
I Honestly do not like the down punch system in this game, in a visual sense.it's weird seing these fighter crounching to punch people in the knees.... Why give that low interrupt to a punch rather than a kick...like in any martial art ? I hope down punch will be down kick in VF6.
Yeah the "Absorb Delay through Google Servers Netcode" only works in Japan cause they have 10 Google Servers. US has 3, Europe has 4, and Africa had NONE when the game was released. Then it does some weird stuff connecting to the first server available instead of the closest.
Best netcode in a fighting game BY FAR! I've had such a smooth experience, I can't wait for January 27th, the only issue with this game is that there just aren't enough players, which makes sense, considering Sega has been neglecting VF for YEARS, it's crazy to think that it's already been over 3 years since Ultimate Showdown.
Revo is the steam version which has rollback. The ps4 version got the same balance changes but not the netcode update. The idea is the steam version is for playing online and the ps4 version is for local/tournament play. Vf6 will be more standardized since revo was a very spontaneous release mostly just to test rollback for vf6
ps5/ps4 got Patches while Pc got the game itself with Rollback. Huge deal sense they haven't had a Vf game in what feels like forever (Revo is the pc port) I believe. Ps5/ps4 got everything but roll back
Ultimate showdown had good online if it was green bar and sometimes yellow bar, but narratives ran wild and mostly from people that barely played the game beyond the first few days. I'd even argue that delay base is smoother than rollback (so far).
Sucks they're apparently not going to be able to get the rollback to work on consoles. Especially since you just know that VF6 ain't coming to last gen consoles. All the PS4 players could of kept VF5 alive while VF6 is out. Sam Sho 2019 fixed it's online for PS4. The PS4 can run God of War Ragnarok. Don't appreciate companies gaslighting us into believing that it's a potato now. Tekken 8 and Virtua Fighter 5 & 6 with the rollback should be on PS4. They could totally get those games running on last gen hardware. Maybe not VF6, but Tekken 8 totally should have a PS4 version like Street Fighter 6, Tekken 8 doesn't even have rollback.
@@blackrahk2037 it was re-released in the yakuza engine to test the engine for future Virtua Fighter installments like VF 6 or whatever it will be called, the ultimate showdown version is definitely not " a PS3 game"
The original version of vf 5 released in 2006 Arcade and 2007 consoles, this is a remaster with a new engine but the sounds still similar if not the same.
How far the FGC has fallen… used to be people would run sets for shit like Jojo httf in hotel toilets during fg tournaments out of love for their game, now if a game doesn’t jingle keys in front of you with all style no substance flash like Tekken 8 does it barely even registers to you. Zoomers were a fucking mistake
I'd argue you are harming yourself more than sega by not giving it a fair try because of a personal grudge you have against a soulless entity of a company, that took a purely business minded decision with which you so heavily disagreed worse yet, by not trying it and and therefore showing interest for old Sega Fighting Game IPs you may be the reason they won't try to bring back another old fighting game, which may or may not have been one you missed but if it helps you getting the feeling that you properly avenge that game by doing so, by all means.. no one cares enough to stop you, I was just a little bored so I entertained you a little, don't mistake that as real interest please

In virtua fighter everything is viable
Jumping beats lows, and 2p, and it has mix up properties on wake up.
Thanks for giving us more VF content, the beta was fun. Im so hyped for REVO and VF6 !
Been a Pai main for VF4 and VF5. Thinking of giving Goh a shot once this releases on Steam.
VF looking way better than I seen Max played last time. & the upcoming 1 looks sick!!! VF on the Rise!
Get em Max. Get em! Akira is a pretty tough character to play with.
Pogged when Max did a Tetsuzankou, it was like neuron activation
Its the coolest fighting move but also has the sickest input. I recommend everyone learns Akira if not just for the dopamine of the Tetsuzanko
Love seeing VF get it's dues. 3 buttons, 8 direction. That's it. The rest is skill, positioning and reflex
That sounds like every fighting game ever minus 1 button.
@@km_1911 Maybe to you homie, maybe to you 🤣
Yep. And the main mixup is mid, throw, or a fast high. Lows are dookie butt, which makes VF unique.
bro I need to learn myself some VF, this game looks sick
VF Revo at Evo would be sick. I hope it joins the main stage next year. Can't wait for EVO Japan tho cause last year was easily the most hype tourney.
Feels fresh to See something else than TEKKEN 👍
far and away the best non VF streamer i've seen on this game. good shit dood
I’m really sick, thanks for uploading great content Max it makes me feel better ❤
Same, I always seem to get hospitalized during the holidays but Max been here to get me through it
Just picked up Vanessa in this and my brain had to rewire i am so used to other fighters but Virtua fighter is still as great as I remember.
Bro the party crasher type move giving me T7 flashbacks holy
I'm glad Sega continues to support such an old game of theirs.
That's on Like a Dragon team, they were the ones having VF on life support with the Yakuza unlockables and VF5Esports

It's not that old but I feel you

God I forgot how honest to god, well honest this game is. Cannot wait for new VF!
I’ve already been putting in work with Sarah! Trying to ready myself for “Stella”
Been a while but damn. Went from edgelord Jean to honest(?) karate(?) man Akira
Idk how honest but Akira does Bajiquan lol. Jean is the only karate guy in the roster
He’s more honest than he was I suppose
Bajiquan in 3D fighters:
Virtua Fighter: Akira
Dead or Alive: Kokoro
Tekken: Leo
Omfg akira does NOT do karate smh
So happy we are getting Virtua fighter back! I’d also love Nintendo would get one or a collection of older games.
Was very pissed off to not have VF4 for GameCube (borrowed ps2 from my friend to play it) or VF5 for WiiU.
A 1-4 collection of the switch would be awesome.
A Sega Fighting Collection akin to the Capcom ones would be nice. Maybe throw in Fighters Megamix and Sonic the Fighters (with the fixed version of Hioney from the PS3/X360 release).
Make sure you people join the Virtua Fighter Official Discord group
I tried getting back to the game earlier. It will take me a while to get used again to the guard button.
Akira: Hey kids, do you want to learn about 3D FUNDAMENTALS?!
My favorite thing about this game is how short the lifebars are. Feels like SF2 in a good way
I was playing SF2 and thought these rounds are quick like VF!

Is it just me or does this game look good like better than I remember
Steam version is 4k 60fps
I think it got remastered from my understanding. Game looks amazing tho and runs super smooth
5 Ultimate Showdown ported the game to the Dragon engine used by RGG studio, that's why the game looks so good.

People can finally legitimately actually for real play the game how it's supposed to be played, and feel it how it's supposed to be felt. VF renaissance hopefully as long as sega doesn't pull a sega
Let’s get a Bloody Roar remaster next!
Hell yes! I second this! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Battle Arena Toshinden too
Unlikely, until it's out of Konomi's clutches.
max, I think you have an audio delay on your gameplay
Could be a stream recording thing. Its completely fine 9 out of 10 times.
There's only two El Blaze players, the pros and the spam basic combos
Being a Pai player, it is really easy to figure her out when playing against more amateur players. She has tons of high attacks that you can easily duck and punish.

This is the type of fighting I missed with Tekken. Love VF and DOA. I stopped playing Tekken since Tekken 4 (it's just a personal thing)
Need Doa5 vs VF5, that will be the ultimate foghting game
Tekken 4 was the most VF/DoA like and people hated it back then.
@@raionbomber75exactly. It had the same stage type and it just didn’t work. Me personally, I agree with that sentiment. Tekken doesn’t play like VF, and that’s fine. Fighting games have different mechanics for a reason
Akira hits like a truck😳
Yep, strike man.
Now when is Sega going to add rollback to Puyo Puyo Tetris two
I hope ring outs are still a thing in Virtua Fighter
I think they will still be there. Though i think the amount of ring out stages will be less than before.
I played the open beta and had a great experience! At last it's on pc!
Only played VF2 on the Saturn. This looks top notch and being a fatuiged MK veteran, a breath of fresh air. Can't wait for the new installment 😁
Old School fast gameplay. Fuck YES! (No Cutscenes BS)
Off topic but that art style in the Okami Sequel trailer if that is the in game that would look amazing!
Playing Akira at this level is no easy task! Bravo Max! 👏🏾 Just dloaded this game yesterday and learning Kage! Feels refreshing from Tekken Calibur 8!!!
Akira is so hard to use that at some point i stoped caring about winning, i just wanted to land my cool shit...
all the money that went into the online development took away from the sound department, sounds like royalty free soundboard
I don't think the hitsounds have been updated since VF1. Personally, I wouldn't have it any other way, it makes the hits feel so impactful. 😀
I have to go back and review everything too. Lol
We need more VF content on RUclips, like seriously. We were lucky for Virtua Bros but they left:/
Anybody knows the name of the BGM at 23:00?
A fantastic game
Yhe Netcode in VF5 is excellent on both PS and PC. But netcode cannot overcome bad connections, not even rollback
This game still looks great. I can't wait to see a little more of the 6th one.
He issssssssssssss aliveeeee! ❤, after 13 years i see another of his videos 🗿 (Weske vs Doom was the first)
No multi-mash button Co😢nvoluted combos. Just quick timing. That's what I miss and that's where they brought back.
I hope because of vf other 3D fighting games make a return. Looking at you soulcalibur and doa.
Wish this beta was happening any time but Clive launch, been wanting to try the game but just to hooked to Tekken again xwx
Uuuuhhh, since 2008 until like 2015 or so when rollback became a thing (in mainstream games), VF was always seen as having THE BEST netcode
So what you’re trying to say is that VF has had shit netcode for about a decade now
@@WatsonDynamite yes exactly, for ten years, not twenty
I really like vf. I'm hyped af 🔥
I'm so much in trouble whit this guard system
I used to play Akira, but his inputs are kinda ridiculous to utilize and memorize them
The gravity in this game is weird funny even
You can feel the Gravity... Rush.
I could never get into this franchise. It always looked and felt like it was in slow motion. Like fighting underwater.
and yet every FGC member that knows this game will tell you that it's one of the most fast paced games

Theres a new one coming right?
So The VF5US ver.2 and the REVO are two seperate games. Should I stick with the PS4 or get the REVO on the PC?
It's the same game.
REVO on PC as it has rollback. The PS4 netcode is vastly inferior.
@@TheMrRellik Bad connection is bad connection. Rollback netcode is not magic. The Netcode for Ultimate Showdown is very good!

Seeing that snippet of vf6, it looks like that might change.
I found the PS5/4 version sluggish after playing the beta on PC.
plays a lot better with rollback netcode than the delay based on PS

I dont know anything about this franchise but why does it sound so bad ? Is it intentional ?
It's got kind of arcadey sound effects. That's really the whole aesthetic of the game. Also, it's like 15 years old or something.
Yes it's intentional. Cheap sounds like the old kung-fu movies.
The new VF will be modernized. The sound effects animations etc are very good. This will be the last game where things sound like this.

Well, the hint is 20 years ago.

cause it is a ps3/360 game, the OG was released in 2006.
