    So Virtua Fighter 5 Ultimate Showdown is upon us, and I have made this video to help you determine which character you should try out! Its hardly an exhaustive guide(each character is so in depth a proper guide would be minimum 1 hour long each) but should give you a decent idea of the basics of each character and hopefully help you on your journey! This game is launching on playstation plus so there is more than likely millions of people out there trying VF for the first time and I hope I can help make your experience a bit more enjoyable!

VF is the OG of 3d fighters, Tekken wouldn't even be a thing if VF didn't come first. I'm not saying Tekken is bad, it's an ok game if you don't mind only using 12 to 15 moves and 12% of the roster as your complete offence in order to have a better win/loss ratio against top players. You do you. However, there is no question that VF is by far a deeper more complete experience in terms of a full fighting game and it only gets better in the pros because instead of using less moves you have to use more.

    This is a series where my "main" character has shifted. In VF1 I favored Pai/Lau. In VF2 3 I favor Lyon/Shun Di. Then Lei Fei became my go to in the VF4 era. When VF5 dropped, I quickly became an Eileen player. My style in fighting games favors speedy close range mix ups over power. Also, my recommendation to anyone getting into VF for the first time as a veteran who hasn't touched a VF game in a decade ... use the block button. Defense matters in this franchise

  • @MousyBScrappin
    @MousyBScrappin 2 роки тому +3

    Having Akira as the face of the game may be a very subtle form of communicating 2 messages from Yu Suzuki to the gen pop.
    1. He looks like your standard middle of the road Ryu pick up and play character when he’s anything but. He isn’t just deep and hard to master BUT he’s simultaneously button mashing resistance personified and learning him requires a serious investment of time and energy but also if you DONT learn him you have no chance. Most ppl unfamiliar with the game will choose him cuz he looks like Ryu upon first playing and that will be their first lesson with this game; this is gonna be WAY harder than you think and there is depth here but you gotta unlock it.
    2. Akira being 1 of the hardest to learn and certainly the hardest original character to learn and also being the face of the game is a message to those that know the game; This game is deep, difficult and rewarding. Ppl that know Akira is a bear to learn seeing him as the mascot can also recognize him as a metaphor for the entire engine itself. He speaks not only to the depth of the system but also the reward that comes from mastering it since he, once mastered, is one of the most powerful characters . Once one learns the game they can make any character a complete beast…

      Shenmue's prototype title was "Akira"s journey". Which means Akira was originally meant to be Shenmue's main protagonist. Maybe if they'd decided to kept them linked together both VF and Shenmue would have gain more successs? Players could learn about the characters and get attached to them.

      @@komlat253 you have a point there, Marshall. It's possibly a situation where a person is imagining "complex" but does not yet have a frame of reference to picture what that term means relative to the game, you know? At the risk of melodrama, I find many subjects to be this way. Nature for example. We know there are "a lot" of stars or spiders, but when someone starts sharing numbers it becomes overwhelming. Suddenly we realize our "a lot" only holds up relative to our experience.
      I think that, depending on the individual, if the experience calls for a certain threshold of depth, they'll instead choose to return to what they were doing before.
      We probably all have some subject or experience that puts us in that spot.

So many people seem to think 2d is superior to 3d but when I get into this series, the work that's gone into it , and the depth of the combos and movements it really does shine. I wish it was paraded more but it's so criminally neglected in tournaments
