She actually has a really cool story with her father! I'm even impressed that she has more character development than other fighters and especially Tekken characters (for a game with no endings and stuff?). 😂
I personally love Pai Chan especially her original costume. That outfit’s design and concept, as well as her character, is amazing. Her hat is very cute too, her color palette was perfect (red, blue, yellow) the outfit is actually functional, which everyone from VF have functional costumes.
Pai is one of the best character so far and I know she will win the tournament to surpass her father Lau Chan with the power of Ensei Ken. If Akira and Pai are fall in love with each other in just like the anime, that would be awesome in the games. Wonderful video, Virtua Bros. Remember that;Your kung fu is not strong enough.
Another thing I wanna mention is one big difference between Pai Chan and the other characters of her archetype is that she know how to let go . Lei fang fought until she was Jan Lee's equal even though he wanted nothing to do with her half the time and even now seemingly would rather have Diego , Ryu, or hitomi as a rival Xiaoyu is better in every way with out Jin. No matter what evil deeds he does she doesn't just move on with her life. Pai was neglected by her father and wanted to beat him but instead reached his level only to save him from the consequences of his obsession , and then when she finally acknowledged her she let him go,and she only intended fight him again just to say goodbye
Chun Li Zang, Pai Chan, Leifang and Ling Xiaoyu are the perfect Chinese Prodigies. I want to see Akira and Pai as a perfect couple in the story of the games just like the anime.
To be fair. There being fans of the lore doesn't necessarily mean they are equal to number of people who prefer street fighters or tekken's lore, or that the characters aren't archetypical( although you could argue that they came out at a time where their respective archetypes weren't common place.)
I like that little dance to an 8-bit version of "Wild Vision" from the Virtua Fighter anime at the end. I hope you can do some lore on Aoi Umenokoji and Lion Rafale soon. 🙏🥋
Pure grace with high speed attack patterns, Pai is the character to choose if you want to knock someone down in record time and keep them down. this girl is so fast in Virta fighter and fun to use. Ling Xaioyu and Chun Li can move over.
I found this one so emotional in a way like striving for justice. But in the end, you just want to make your family proud and be there for them. The resolution in this story was so emotional to me even if the end is not happy you grow. from everything in life, good or bad.
Yep, I'm starting to figure a way around these dumb robots that snipe down VF videos. I think people write off VF characters as generic and having no personality because console ports didn't have storylines or much in the way of cinematic cutscenes built into the games themselves. But in manuals, comics, animes, and spin off games the personalities of all the characters really shine.
I wish someone did lore video like this for DOA . Koei techmo treat it like the tiddy fighter because they not enough fans no that it doesn't have to be just that and the lore in that game up until recent years was so deep . I'm sad to see my to favorite 3D fighters in such a state . Also it's basically thanks to you that they both have dethroned Tekken .
@@VirtuaBrosAwesome! As long as you don't burn yourself out that's sounds like a great idea . Maybe just do a mostly Virtua fighter characters and mix some DOA and bloody roar in there every now and then ?
Gotta say that Virtua Fighter’s characters have more depth than Tekken and Dead or Alive. For Pai to go from neglected to desiring revenge to desiring affections to DECLINING them out of pity, and finally to defeat her father to make sure she doesn’t end up like him? 😂 Yeah, these writers definitely played Fatal Fury. Their characters are rich with life.
@@VirtuaBros I finished your series this morning. So upset that you stopped. But if you have a family now, I understand. That’s why I stopped producing consistent content as well. It became too difficult to have both 😂. I LOVE your series though. Virtua Fighter has always been one of my favorites, and I always wanted more story after 5 😔
@YophiSmith Thank you so much! Yes, my 3 boys have really required 100% of my being the last couple of years. Hopefully once they get a bit more independent I can finish the series I started so long ago. Did you hear a new VF game has been confirmed? I'm sure I'll be able to make plenty of hay for lore videos when that gets released. By the way, did you also watch the Wolf lore video? Just curious.
@@VirtuaBros Yes. I saw them all last night and this morning. Great video. I didn’t know Wolf’s lore as much as I knew Jacky, Akira, Pai, Kage, and Lau. Hopefully you can do Lion. That’s really great that a new VF is confirmed. Sega is bringing back my favorites like SOR4, a new Jet Set Radio, and now VF. Who knows? Maybe even Hotsuma and Hibana will return 😂
4:41 Lol!😂 17:18😂 Virtua Fighter and Virtua Cop in the same universe? That theory makes sense. Why didn't sega put VF4 on the gamecube and Xbox? Lol! Nice re-upload.👍
Hah, glad you liked that. Good question. You know, when the Dreamcast was discontinued and Sega bowed out of the hardware race, they scattered their franchises across 3 platforms. GameCube got the sonci adventure games and skies of Arcadia. Xbox got panzer dragoon saga, jsrf, gun Valkyrie, Shenmue II, and outrun. PlayStation got VF4/Evo and Shinobi etc... It just sort of worked out that way. I would imagine they ported each game to the platform where they thought each series would be supported most.
Thanks for putting this out. Got back into this series. Didn't know anyone would do something like this. BTW Don't think this series is underepeanted. Lived in Japan during VF2 and VF4 days. It was really huge at one point.
AM-2 should bring back Pai's yanqingquan strikes, throws, and aggressive reversals in the reboot while her baguazhang techniques are given to a new fighter.
Lion is next and yes, the series will continue. The last couple of years I've had a lot of life changes. Currently we are raising 6 month old twin boys. My personal health has been a challenge to stay on top of as well. Eventually I will get to it. Just can't commit to a deadline unfortunately.
Are you going to talk about Virtua Fighter characters in Sega Heroes? Also this may be an unpopular opinion, but I felt the last Virtua Fighter game showed the series was going to take a bad direction, so I'm glad it's kinda dead.
No, I haven't really played Sega heroes but I suppose it's worth looking into. If you're referring to final showdown, you aren't wrong about the way the console port was marketed and released, but vf5R in the arcades was mechanically a very solid installment of VF imo.
@@VirtuaBros Sega Heroes is not really worth it. The customer service hasn't been the best recently. You can just look up footage of the characters fighting. Final Showdown had some bugs that were annoying, but I was referring to the increase in juggling and new comedy moves like El Blaze spitting out green mist. If I wanted that in a fighting game, I would play DoA or Tekken.
@@imafreakinninja12 Ah I see. Well, to be fair, VF pretty much introduced juggling into 3d fighters from the start. And El Blaze spitting hot chilli into opponent's eyes doesn't seem too out of character for a luchador.
@@VirtuaBros I'd prefer if they didn't rely on bad jokes and instead relied on good game mechanics. I watch some wrestling but I'm not amused by their shallow attempts at drama or comedy when they do things like spit chili. I'm here to watch people fight, not spit at each other. I know Virtua Fighter always had a degree of juggling, but it was no where near the level of atrociousness compared to Tekken. With the introduction of combo samples in the move lists in Final Showdown, it was obvious that they were expanding juggling and focusing less on timing the opponent's moves for an opportunity to strike.
She actually has a really cool story with her father! I'm even impressed that she has more character development than other fighters and especially Tekken characters (for a game with no endings and stuff?). 😂

Virtua Fighter characters arent bland, they are realistic. Thats what i love about Tekken and Virtua fighter. They blend realism and fiction.
In hindsight I would say they're better than Tekken characters. Tekken characters are mostly written as clowns unless they are a Mishima now.
Realism isn't exactly the right word here. Maybe relatable.
@@fightingmedialounge519 I would say groundedish
Pai is one of the best character so far and I know she will win the tournament to surpass her father Lau Chan with the power of Ensei Ken. If Akira and Pai are fall in love with each other in just like the anime, that would be awesome in the games.
Wonderful video, Virtua Bros.
Remember that;Your kung fu is not strong enough.
She's so cute too! Pai is bae
I love Pai.....she's my female main in the series....been playing with her since the first game :)
She's great 👍
Another thing I wanna mention is one big difference between Pai Chan and the other characters of her archetype is that she know how to let go .
Lei fang fought until she was Jan Lee's equal even though he wanted nothing to do with her half the time and even now seemingly would rather have Diego , Ryu, or hitomi as a rival

Pai was neglected by her father and wanted to beat him but instead reached his level only to save him from the consequences of his obsession , and then when she finally acknowledged her she let him go,and she only intended fight him again just to say goodbye
I mean three looses will do that to you.

Thanks for this comment it was touching. Enjoyed reading it.
@@VirtuaBros your welcome 😁
5:48 Pai is a solo unit in Project X Zone 2. Akira is paired with Kage Maru in that game
Good to know, thanks
Oh thank god you got it back up
Also why so much hate for VF characters
Also congrats Phoenix

Also keep it up with the uploads they’re really good

Senpuga (旋風牙) means "Whirlwind Fang"
She was always my favorite design, well her current offer anyway which I saw first
I really like this video; but I’m not gonna lie I’m still 100% sure pai is based on moon lee lol. I might a actually make a video on that soon.
It's entirely possible. I'd like to see that!
Sooner bruh, sooner. Keep up the good work.
Thanks. I'll try to get started soon
Drat! I was hoping you'd also dubbed over Pai's VO! 😂 Man, I forgot how awesome her VF3 theme was.
Lol. In Jacky's video I had no choice. This time I was able to shake the bots off my scent.
@@VirtuaBros From here on out I want you to dub everything. Make it happen 🙏
@@Tretas. lol. Dub all the males and females of every clip?
@@VirtuaBros _AND_ Sarah's flying squirrel! You can leave Pai's mom out though..
@@Tretas. 🤣 savage

She's really great.
@@VirtuaBros
Yes!
Their is a character that I think would work perfectly in vf . His name is silber and is the main antagonist of buruki one .
Thanks for putting this out. Got back into this series. Didn't know anyone would do something like this. BTW
Don't think this series is underepeanted. Lived in Japan during VF2 and VF4 days. It was really huge at one point.
Enseiken (燕青拳) means "Swallow Azure Fist"
Oh cool! Wonder why my source said lost track fist. Either way Swallow Azure Fist sounds way cooler.
@@VirtuaBros Enseiken is another name for
Mízōngquán (迷蹤拳), which means "Lost Track Fist"
AM-2 should bring back Pai's yanqingquan strikes, throws, and aggressive reversals in the reboot while her baguazhang techniques are given to a new fighter.
Interesting idea! I like it. Would the new fighter also be a female?
@@VirtuaBros Nothing is confirmed. I won't be surprised if the reboot has the usual two new fighters.
@@VirtuaBros
In Sega perceptive Ensei Ken stands for Blue Swallow Fist.
Hey I love Virtua Fighter AND PAI IS MY MOST FAVORITE CHARACTER.(*does Enseishu*)
Lol nice
@@VirtuaBros she is so great.
I think they just announced they're ending Sega Heroes so that explains the lack of support.
Oh that's too bad. I was about to look into it. Thanks for the heads up.
I love Pai
Will there be a video on Lion? Or will the series be continued in general?
Lion is next and yes, the series will continue. The last couple of years I've had a lot of life changes. Currently we are raising 6 month old twin boys. My personal health has been a challenge to stay on top of as well. Eventually I will get to it. Just can't commit to a deadline unfortunately.
@@VirtuaBros Nice, glad to hear there will be more videos!
I wish you good health and congratulate to your twin babies! ♥️
They aren't bland. The western FGC likes to trash talk on other fighters that aren't the popular in America.
Agreed!
I love Akira and Pai in the Anime!
I do too
@@VirtuaBros
Me three.
thanks for this repost
My pleasure
@@VirtuaBros long live VF
I HAVE to know where the hell the footage of the anime boy copying their moves is from.
Not sure which part you're talking about? Did you mean the hunter x hunter footage? Can you give me the timestamp?
Will you do more Virtua Fighter Lore videos beyond the first 8 fighters? I want to see you do the video on Aoi, Vanessa, and Goh.
Yes I will. I recently got some new equipment and plan on doing more vf lore
@@VirtuaBros that’s awesome and I’m looking forward to it. Good luck on your future projects.
Who is your Virtua Fighter Waifu? Mine is either Sarah Bryant or Pai Chan ( Mostly Sarah tbh ). Vanessa and Aoi are really cute too.
Great choices. They are all stunning, but I lean heavily towards Pai and Sarah as well. Probably Sarah if you twisted my arm. Or maybe... Dural? 🤣
@@VirtuaBros lmao.
@@VirtuaBros
Pai and Sarah are both tomboys.
Great video
Thanks for watching:)
Never trust watchmojo.
Well said.
@@VirtuaBros
I agree.
Should note that Project X Zone is not 'EX Zone', but *'Cross Zone,' as in Crossover you say right after.
Pai Chan X Jacky Bryant
#MeantToBe
I like to ship her with Jacky. 😊
Good thing I started with her as my main! 💜🌹
Akira x Pai is better.
Pai is so perfect 🖒😊
Please do Aoi Umenokoji soon in this series. 🙏🏾
She isn't far down the list now
*SUBSCRIBES & BELLS MY VIRTUA-SIS*
Will you have one on Wolf?
Already have one. Check the Playlist for vf lore
Hey, what is the game where Pai and Sarah teach that one character their moves? I am curious about it.
Probably virtua quest if I understand you're question
