I feel as though they don't see enough of a return potential to make another one....even though its a great game with wonderful fighting mechanics, the fan base is lacking because the marketing team isn't working hard enough to get new fans of the series. SF, MK and Tekken spend soooo much money on marketing which is why they have great sales. VF'S marketing team is sadly lacking. Its been over a decade since this came out and it still holds, thank goodness. I would hate to see such a well crafted game fade away
@josuedlys I was disagreed, but you changed my mind, it's true the marketing of this game was low almost NONE while the others you'll have cameos and celebrities in their games and that is way expensive for a game already successful, while VF would just be offered again and wait to get noticed.
@@josuedlysYo, tbh I think they can make it work if Sega can make VF6 a crossover fighter with DOA. Possibly disguise a Yakuza (ik it's going by like a dragon now) trailer to advertise it. Iirc, Yakuza and VF5 remaster share the same visual engine. Possibly add in some new characters that have prominent storylines, and actually update some of the mechanics and visuals, I think VF has a chance to work lol. It's incredibly simple to pick up and play, so new players would have no problems getting into it, just add in new characters for them imo.
You can play the Final Showdown version in Yakuza 6's Sega Arcade at Nakamichi Street (and other sega classics). I actually was looking for the PC version after enjoying playing it on Yakuza 6 and I was surprised there is no PC version unless you play it in another game lol.
Isn't the whole point to shorten thre time it takes to stream each game's finals? Why would it change back next year? If there are at least as many main games next year, they have to stick with Top 6 again.
Love how this game is still holding up. They did a great job with the sound effects! The strong hits FEEL impactful af 😂 and the bone cracking is satisfying
I am actually convinced that Namco could release another 10 Tekkens at this point, while Sega releases no more VFs and they still won't be nearly as good as this one. Virtua Fighter 5 is the best 3D fighter currently on the market, ancient or not.
Love, love, love the Virtua Fighter series and VF 5 Ultimate is a great version. I do like some of the lighting in VF 5 Final better, but they’re such excellent games!! Loving the EVO content.
Cuál crees que sería la manera de atraer nuevos jugadores? Nunca jugué el juego y si quiero aprender soy jugador de Tekken así que me gustaría saber que consejos
You know, I bet they could easily make VF6 be more popular than now just by adding a Yakuza character to help market it. Come on Sega, Tekken needs a competitor
....and its mind blowing to see how the original virtua fighter 5 came to arcades on its initial release in 2005.yet it looks and plays like it just came out.Absolutely nothing is dated in virtua fighter 5.its gameplay mechanics have stood the test of time.theres really nothing much sega could of done to tweak the gameplay because its so perfectly implemented.Only adding new moves and balancing them while adding new stages and character customization to give it a refreshing appeal.Virtua Fighter 5 is so well perfected,its going to be a real challenge for Sega on how they can surpass the game in every major way in Virtua Fighter 6.😊❤
Me trying to play this game looks clunky and hell. But when you see people with real skills it looks like a highly choreographed martial arts movie scene. I don't think any other game's animations look as good in motion
This video has convinced me that Virtua Fighter is not just the best game at EVO, but the best E-Sprot there is. I was on the edge of my seat the whole time. And the fact that Kurito won and IMMEDIATELY went. to play street fighter is icing on the cake.
Even if I know people have different tastes in games,it's mindblowing to me people don't see the potential in VF competitively. It's one of the few games I get as much pleasure watching as I do playing.
I really liked virtua fighter 5, but for some reason I stopped being able to find matches online, I didn’t know if the game was dead or wat, so I stopped playing
@@sulfreez You meant to say that most American FGC players just don’t appreciate a fighting system that does not depreciate. They need crushing blows, auto combos and super moves to compensate for short attention spans. And that’s okay.
@@BCDC123 The scene needs to grow but yes a new vf player would benefit from focusing on the gameplay instead of the content. The former is the main reason this game didn't slide into obscurity yet.
I cannot get over the fact that El Blaze doesn't have the right size. Not even the height, I mean the size. It looks wrong. Even if he was small and thinner he would have a bigger head . Wtf sega.
Body proportions are really messed up in this game, and it annoys me too. One day I had a match between Lion and Pai and even though Lion isn't a "big guy type", his feet are five times the size of Pai's. They need to fix that for the next game.
Man this game is brutal! That was the fastest top 6 I ever seen!
Sega!! Give us VF6 already!!!

In all platforms
how about a reboot lol
Man I wish this game were on PC, looks so damn cool
Let's hope if they made VF6 it'll come to PC.
it'd have 2x the playerbase if it was, look at the vf2 genesis steam port comments

Just play tekken
@@ylobenz ¡nah! is more like street fighter now
Seeing "Top 6" instead of "Top 8" still feels weird. Might need a couple of years to get used to it.
Wait a minute, what happened? I thought it was just something this evo.
It is

give me a top 1 i have no time for losers
Love how this game is still holding up. They did a great job with the sound effects! The strong hits FEEL impactful af 😂 and the bone cracking is satisfying
The sound effects are largely unchanged, it's trademark VF, going all the way back to the original.

Congradulation~! Big man match. Recently, i'm playing VF5 in Ps3 and I first manipulated the jean kuzo.
This story is happy end !
If u play online Can I add u on ps3 ?
Nice! Thanks for this!
been waiting for this ^_^
I'm surprised they still gotta tournament on this good game
Sega, please finally drop vf6 for us!
Let’s go El Blaze!
I want MECH's moustache, he looks like a young kungfu master
I didn't even know EVO had VF. Only game I would've cared about there. When's VF6 @Sega ?
You know, I bet they could easily make VF6 be more popular than now just by adding a Yakuza character to help market it.
Come on Sega, Tekken needs a competitor
@@pian-0g445DoA clears tekken
Mr. Kurita(TAKA-ARASHI) was the 1996 VF3 champion.

I am terrible a this game but goodness I love it!!!!
Fucked that Ultimate Showdown never released on pc.
kind of, I use teknoparrot to run it,works fine.
Then you would lament that game is an unplayable hackerfest.
Not every game needs to be on PC. Cry more.
Guess what? It was announced for PC today
Me trying to play this game looks clunky and hell. But when you see people with real skills it looks like a highly choreographed martial arts movie scene. I don't think any other game's animations look as good in motion
Iambic has very good commentary
She's a long time VF player
Spooky, you did the evo stream? I saw the "you are free" at the end. I was like.shit spooky did this?!?!?!?
It became part of the culture of Evo, they always do it now
The family call out was so funny lol
Did we ever find out where he going?

The game can't die outside of Japan because it was never alive here to begin with.
It’s still active just at very crazy hours. It’s either very early in the day 11am - 2pm or really late/early 2am - 4am for me.

Ik I'm late but I'll fight u, a tad rusty and forgot ALL the frame data tho
What gaming monitors?
Big ups, GT.
Muito legal mesmo 👏👏👏🇧🇷
Why is the online so empty? No one is playing this game online, that's a shame
What system do u play on? If u have ps3 let's have some matches 😅
I don't care about vf 6 , I just want a complete remake of the series
Weird.
so you want them to reboot the timeline and go back to the tournament from VF1?
IAMBIC IS BEAUTIFUL!!!!! I LOVE HER HAIR AND HER GLASSES!!!
I feel bad for kurita dropping combos and such. I got thr feeling they were jet lagged or something
That evo varsity is broken 🫠🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Cool!
I miss my wife
Very good commentary from the trans woman. Represent!
Joel join virtua fighter 6

These 2 commentators are the worse I’ve ever heard at any tournament. Do they know anything about vf 😂
Gameplay was great, but commentators were ok ... not really no offense. Didnt get me hype watching the fight. "Ok, ok" "Ok, with the lows" Ok, ok... 🧐
These "commentators" are awkward and suck.
Bad commentary, bad gameplay. So many dropped combos. It's unfortunate to see virtua fighter like this
expecting you to win evo 2024
i bet you couldn't do half the shit done in this tournament.
I've always called this game "tekken but not tekken"
Harada would be so flattered by this comment. He just can’t seem to create a combat system that can stand the test of 10 years time.
Fun fact, Tekken is created by VF
This shi boring
watch something else nerd.
Worst fighting game franchise ever lol & I love that people are actually serious about it =..)
this aint mk 😂
22:30 haha nice 😁👍
