I have returned! Just as I said before in my last guide (Rumble Roses for the PS2...which I never did finish....but eh oh well) I joined the Marine Corps and I have been gone for quite some time. I'm currently stationed out here in Japan and have been for the past two years. It's been a real eye opening exprience and I can't say that I won't miss things out here when I leave. But getting to the guide stuff....needless to say that it would seem that alot of big time games that have come out are without a proper walkthrough writer these days. I've watched GameFAQs put up alot of bounties and most wanteds and such of walkthroughs to games that you would figure alot of people would be fighting to get. And that's where I come in! Alot of people have asked me to return to the walkthrough writing scene, even though I had "retired" from it. Well....I must say that I did miss doing this and I missed writing up for GameFAQs and other sites out there. Never knew that a person could get a fanbase (albeit a very small one) for the guides that they write. So....I am here to bring the guide for the game that should of had one a long time ago. I'm of course talking about Virtua Fighter 5! Now since being out here in Japan, I've seen alot of games hit the arcades and consoles way before it ever made it to the states. One day, I was walking around in an arcade, and then I noticed a special, different machine in the corner, with a Luchador picture above the machine. I raised an eyebrow and went to check it out. I was never too big into the Virtua Fighter series, though I did play a few of the titles in the past. But when I started playing as El Blaze....I was hooked. Number one, hispanic fighters aren't normally seen in many games....let alone hispanic characters either! So playing as a new fighting style of Lucha Libre and a hispanic fighter (such as me...I'm of Nicaraguan decent) I was dead set at becoming a master at this game. I played against the japanese all the time out here, and whooped their asses big time once I got the hang of things. Now that I got a PS3 and the game as well....well I've got a ton of time to practice all the time! And with this game coming out as well on the 360, I'll get it on that console too. Hopefully on the 360, they'll put in online multiplayer since there is none on the PS3. Still this game kicks ass no matter what! And with this guide, I'll cover the arcade, the Playstation 3, and when it finally comes out for the system, the XBox 360 respectively. So lets get this show on the road! It's been far too long since I've been away....and retirement is for pansies! The return of Sanctuary Remix is here! - As with every other guide that I've wrote, this guide is my own property! I happily made this for all to enjoy and to use, and all that I ask is that if you are planning on using this for your site, then just ask me for permission ok. I'm really easy to get along with and generally don't mind it so long as you ask for my permission first. Don't go thinking "Oh he'll never say ok, lets just rip the guide and post it anyways" because that's a flawed way of thinking. Just give it a shot sometime and you may be surprised! My e-mail box is always open! - A big reminder to everyone out there....if you're looking for updates to this guide, then head on over to www.gamefaqs.com. I write for that site and that site only.....or at least, that's where the guide's origins are. Any update that I do will hit there. I don't really plan on keeping up with how many other hundreds of sites have my guides up for their use and have to go and update it on their site as well, so save yourself some trouble and headache and check my guide out at GameFAQs ok. I really don't want to deal with a million e-mails asking me about updates and info and such when I'm telling you now what to do. *** Version 1.0 *** - This walkthrough will go into detail on how to play the game properly, how each character works and their background, basic gameplay mechanics explained, details on how the game modes work, how to unlock all secrets and cheats, and how to work with the game. - Next version update should include the following: Detailed listing of each character's clothing items In-Depth coverage of Playstation 3 Quest Mode *** Constant Updater Info *** - I will always constantly update this guide despite what version it is that I have out. This is due to the fact of the User Tactics Section of this guide. Whenever I am e-mailed with a tip from someone on a tactic that they find useful in certain or any situation, then it will be posted up as fast as I can possibly get it up. This along with whenever I find any tactics that I can come up with myself. So always be on the look out for that! - Table of Contents - 1) Story 2) Controls *Arcade Controls* *Playstation 3 Controls* 3) The Basics *Arcade Basics* *Playstation 3 Basics* 4) Game Modes *Arcade Game Modes* *Playstation 3 Game Modes* 5) The Characters *Akira Yuki* = Backstory and Stats = Move Set = Costumes and Clothes Sets = Personal Opinion *El Blaze* = Backstory and Stats = Move Set = Costumes and Clothes Sets = Personal Opinion *Eileen* = Backstory and Stats = Move Set = Costumes and Clothes Sets = Personal Opinion *Pai Chan* = Backstory and Stats = Move Set = Costumes and Clothes Sets = Personal Opinion *Lei-Fei* = Backstory and Stats = Move Set = Costumes and Clothes Sets = Personal Opinion *Aoi Umenokouji* = Backstory and Stats = Move Set = Costumes and Clothes Sets = Personal opinion *Goh Hinogami* = Backstory and Stats = Move Set = Costumes and Clothes Sets = Personal Opinion *Kage-Maru* = Backstory and Stats = Move Set = Costumes and Clothes Sets = Personal Opinion *Sarah Bryant* = Backstory and Stats = Move Set = Costumes and Clothes Sets = Personal Opinion *Jacky Bryant* = Backstory and Stats = Move Set = Costumes and Clothes Sets = Personal Opinion *Brad Burns* = Backstory and Stats = Move Set = Costumes and Clothes Sets = Personal Opinion *Shun Di* = Backstory and Stats = Move Set = Costumes and Clothes Sets = Personal Opinion *Lau Chan* = Backstory and Stats = Move Set = Costumes and Clothes Sets = Personal Opinion *Jeffry McWild* = Backstory and Stats = Move Set = Costumes and Clothes Sets = Personal Opinion *Vanessa Lewis* = Backstory and Stats = Move Set = Costumes and Clothes Sets = Personal Opinion *Wolf Hawkfield* = Backstory and Stats = Move Set = Costumes and Clothes Sets = Personal Opinion *Lion Rafale* = Backstory and Stats = Move Set = Costumes and Clothes Sets = Personal Opinion *Dural* = Backstory and Stats = Move Set = Costumes and Clothes Sets = Personal Opinion 6) Quest Mode *The Arcades* - Sega World North - Sega World South - Sega World Route 101 - Club Sega Downtown - Club Sega Bay Area - Sega Arena Coast - Sega Arena East - Special *Gaining Exprience* *Official Titles* *The Opponents* - Sega World North - Sega World South - Sega World Route 101 - Club Sega Downtown - Club Sega Bay Area - Sega Arena Coast - Sega Arena East - Special *Tournaments* *The Ins and Outs* * Home * - Customize = Costume Settings = Item Shop = Change Ring Name = Personal Comment Settings = Emblem Settings - Status - Quest Settings - Save *Tips and Tricks* * The Sega Balloon * * Arcade Tournaments * * Orb Discs * * Emblem Unlocking * * Making Money * * Win or Lose * * Accessing the Special Arcade Fighters * * Treasure Chest Icons * * Quick Arcade Search * 7) Cheats, Secrets, and Such * Old School Sega! * * The Sega Balloon * * Unlocking Dural * * Various Background Trivia * * Unlocking Costumes C and D * * Watch Mode * * Unlocking the Dojo Stages * * Playing Route B in Arcade Mode * * Custom Characters in VF TV * * Downloading the Soundtrack * * Knowing Your Virtua Fighter and Where to go for It * 8) User Character Tactics * Akira * * El Blaze * * Eileen * * Pai Chan * * Lei-Fei * * Aoi Umenokouji * * Goh Hinogami * * Kage-Maru * * Sarah Bryant * * Jacky Bryant * * Brad Burns * * Shun-Di * * Lau Chan * * Jeffry McWild * * Vanessa Lewis * * Wolf Hawkfield * * Lion Rafale * * Dural * 9) Credits 1) The Story of Virtua Fighter 5 - Now I'm not an expert as to the whole story of Virtua Fighter, so I'm going to go off of what info I can get ahold of and go from there. - The Fourth World Fighting Tournament had come to one fianl bout between Kage-Maru and Shun Di. But as Kage-Maru launched his final offensive, the glowing, silver form of Dural interrupted the match. "Mother..." Kage-Maru whispered, facing the transformed being that had once been Tsukikage. Knowing full well that it was too late to save his mother, Kage-Maru destroyed her with his own hands. But when he looked at her face, his expression froze. "This is..." Concerned by Dural's defeat, J6 captured Vanessa for the next step of the Dural program. But before they could turn her into the next Dural, she disappeared - apparently with inside help. But they had already transplanted her combat data into the production-model Dural, and thus J6 announced the Fifth World Fighting Tournament to test the abilities of the new V-Dural and to determine the identity of any traitors within J6. What is J6? Judgement 6, or J6, is made up of six global corporations. Together, they exert enormous influence over areas ranging from weapons development to international politics. J6's goal is to complete their subtle form of world domination. - So basically from what I've gathered is that each fighter has their own reason to fight....just like any other fighting game. Now some of the fighters have ties to J6 and hold a personal vendetta against them. While others are in it for their own reasons. For the most part there has not been a clear cut hero in the story, nor has their been a real consecutive winner of each tournament like Liu Kang of Mortal Kombat fame. Most people seem to think that Akira is the big man to beat in the game with winning all the tournaments. This is not true. Akira (from what I've gathered canonically) has only won the Second World Fighting Tournament, even though he is prominently displayed on the cover art of each title and given that whole main good guy look to him. So basically this is a game where it is possible that any character could very well be the official winner of each tournament. As far as the whole background of the entire Virtua Fighter universe goes, well as I said before....I just don't know. If anyone has info on the story of the past games or parts of the Virtua Fighter universe that are significant and worthwhile, then e-mail the info to me and I'll put it up with the credit going to you. 2) Getting to Know Your Controls - Arcade Controls - - Well it's pretty cut and dry with the arcade controls. The console versions can really spoil you due to the layout, but still...the arcade comes with classic controls that one can quickly get use to. - The joystick is what you'll use to move about the place. It's an 8-way joystick. Just move it in the direction you desire to move about. Basically it's like this: \ | / - O - / | \ - I haven't seen any arcade machine with more than 3 buttons so far for this game. All you need is three anyways, so unless you're playing some version of it that I don't know about, then you'll run into just 3 button for playing. The buttons are as follows: The Punch button allows your character to throw a punch The Kick button allows your character to throw a kick The Guard button allows your character to put up a block When using the buttons, you'll want to mix up the directions you input them in with the joystick so that you'll get various results from your attacks. You'll learn more as you move on to the characters. - Here's the control techniques you can do with the arcade controls: Dash Double tap the joystick either forward or backward to make the character do a quick dash Run Double tap and hold the joystick forward to make your character do a run Throw By pressing the Punch and Guard buttons together, you can make your character grab your opponent for some damage. Check out the characters section in this guide to see what throws they can do and how to do them Crouching Dash Double tap the joystick at a downward angle either forward or backward to make your character dash while crouching Walk Just hold the joystick in the direction you want them to move. To make them move toward the camera, quickly tap down twice and on the second tap, hold down on the joystick Throw Escape By pressing the Punch and Guard buttons at the same time in correspondence to your opponent's grab, you can escape their grab. You must also use the right direction at times depending on the grab trying to be used on you Down Attack This one is universal for all characters, even though they all have many unique down attacks as well. To do the simple one for each, just hold up on the joystick and then press the punch button Quick Recovery By pressing the Punch, Kick, and Guard buttons at the same time just before you hit the ground, you will do a quick recovery. This is extremely helpful so that you can avoid someone taking advantage of you by using a Down Attack, or by setting up their next offensive on you Recovery If you're flat on your back, hit the Punch and Guard buttons by button mashing to make your character get up faster Rising Attack While you're getting up from being knocked down, hit the Kick button to make your character do a Rising Attack. You can also use a low Rising Attack by holding down on the joystick and pressing the Kick button while your character is getting up Defensive Move By pressing down or up on the joystick quickly, you can make your character do a Defensive Move. This sets them up to either reverse an attack, or get into a better position to avoid a combo or move that your opponent is trying to use on you Offensive Move By pressing down or up on the joystick quickly and pressing the Punch, Kick, and Guard buttons together, your character should do a quick sidestep while closing in on your opponent. This sets them up to start a combo of your own or get in a good grab move if you're fast enough Staggering Some attacks performed by a character will make your opponent stagger backward off balance. During this time you can take advantage of a good opportunity to hit them with a big move or combo Stagger Recovery If you are put into Stagger status you will be prompted to recover faster by a joystick icon in the corner. Just start moving the joystick back and forth quickly to make your character regain their balance and continue the fight - Playstation 3 Controls - - As I stated above, the Playstation 3 controls can really spoil you with the way you can layout your controls. With the ability to lay the buttons out however you want it, you'll have a better feel and control over the game. Try out different layouts til you're comfortable with what you want. - You use the D-Pad in this game to move about. The joystick is disabled during the game. With the D-Pad though, you have a direct feel over the character I think. You still have the same 8 direction basic movement with the D-Pad just like you did with the Arcade joystick. - The default button layout for the Playstation 3 is as follows: Triangle = Punch Circle = Kick Square = Guard X = Punch L1 = Punch+Guard L2 = Punch+Guard+Kick R1 = Punch+Kick R2 = Kick+Guard I recommend using this layout though.....it has a better feel for the controls and I think it helps to keep the action flowing and smooth. You don't have to keep it like this though. Like I said....experiment til you find something that you're comfortable with. This is my layout scheme: Triangle = Kick Circle = Guard Square = Punch X = Guard L1 = Punch+Guard L2 = Punch+Guard+Kick R1 = Punch+Kick R2 = Kick+Guard As you can see, there's not too much of a change from the default settings. I just think that with the Punch and the Kick setup like that, you have a better way of keeping things flowing, and with a quick thumb roll, you can easily guard when you need it. Keeping two guard buttons does help when you start to panic under pressure. When using the buttons, you'll want to mix up the directions you input them in with the joystick so that you'll get various results from your attacks. You'll learn more as you move on to the characters. - Here's the control techniques you can do with the Playstation 3 controls: Dash Double tap the joystick either forward or backward to make the character do a quick dash Run Double tap and hold the joystick forward to make your character do a run Throw By pressing the Punch and Guard buttons together, you can make your character grab your opponent for some damage.

Just start moving the joystick back and forth quickly to make your character regain their balance and continue the fight 2) The Basics to the Game - This section will talk about various aspects of the game for that respective system. Certain things that would not be in the other sections of this walkthrough will be put here. - Arcade Basics - - Here's where to learn about a few odds and ends of playing at the arcades out there. Now number one, I'm here to tell you that I've only played out in the Japanese Arcades and I haven't had a chance to see if they're out in the States or not. So from what I'll go on about here is what to expect while playing in the Japanese Arcade. Once I've done some research and found any Virtua Fighter 5 US Arcade games out there, then this section will cover that as well. - First off when you play some of the game systems out here in Japan, you will notice that some of them have card readers. I have found machines that do not have card readers as well, so basically it depends on your location and the arcade itself as to whether it will have a card reader or not. Arcades out here are plentiful and all over the place from a professional setting to underground. But I'm getting off subject....the card reader is meant for a special card that you can buy from certain vending machines within the arcade itself. They allow you to create character data that will save your settings from a previous time playing the game. So basically if I was playing as El Blaze, then the card would be burned with the data of how I did at that time and act accordingly by recording my wins and losses and making a small memory of how I fought. I'm not totally sure on this either since I can't read japanese, but everytime I've seen a card used, it brought up a small antenna power signal on the bottom of the screen. Now I've used cards before on other games out here like Tekken and what appears to be a Romance of the Three Kingdoms game, and when I do, it will find opponents for me that are playing in another arcade somewhere else. So basically it's an online match in the arcades. I'm not entirely sure that this works with Virtua Fighter 5 or not, but I'd say it's a safe bet that it does. Also with the card, there is a way to go online with it and save info to it that will give you a customed character type of option. I've seen it work on Tekken, but I have not yet seen if this is true of Virtua Fighter 5 yet. The last thing that I think that this card does as well is feed your character information (i.e. fighting style, win/loss record, etc) to the system. This leaves a memory of what you've done thus far from what the card has recorded on the machine you were playing at. On a score attack game, depending on how you fight with your character and you current record with them, your character data will be placed in a certain standing for someone to fight. So if you play as a newb or noob then your character data can be shown relatively early on for someone to fight against. If you play as an expert or veteran, then it will reflect and it would be quite sometime before anyone has a chance to fight your character data. So for the most part the card does a few little extra quirks to the arcade that you didn't think possible. If any of this info is wrong or not complete, then by all means e-mail in the correct information and it will be corrected. - One thing that should catch your eye is that the machine (at least in Japan) is played on a big plasma screen tv. The machine layout is comfortable too, and if you want to challenge someone, they're on the other side of the machine, out of sight and hard to hear. The music and sounds are loud enough that you'll have a hard time distinguishing if your opponent is cussing or screaming at you for winning. This game looks beyond amazing with a machine that's made to solely run it. You'll feel at home as well with the simple control layout and comfortable arm rests that the machine provides as well. - I'm not sure what the current version for the arcades is, but I do know that the game does receive some updates, via online capabilities. I've seen the version number and letter rise from time to time, so the people at Sega must be working out some bugs with it and making this game run alot smoother than before. Honestly, I've never encountered any bugs or issues so far in the game, but if I do find any or find out about any, I'll be sure to let all of you know. - Playstation 3 Basics - - There's not too much to hit on on the Playstation 3 from what I can tell right now. There is no online capabilities to speak of, so if you were hoping to fight others online....think again. There's also no downloadable material for the game either, so all that you can earn in the game is all that you can get. I do know that playing this game on a plasma or HD TV does wonders for the graphics on this game. This was a game that was meant to be played in high definition. I played a floor model of the Playstation 3 with Virtua Fighter 5 on a floor model HD TV and wasn't sure if this game looked better here or on the arcade. I honestly think that it's better on the Playstation 3 in terms of graphics. Now you can notice the difference when this is on a regular TV and an HD TV....trust me! So if you're the kind of person that's all up in arms about graphics and the details of the game, then play it on an HD TV and you won't be disappointed. - One thing about this game is that you have to create character data for the most part to play most modes. Once you've selected a character, that's it, no do overs. You can go to the Customize menu and change your display name and many other aspects to the character data there. This helps to keep a personal record of how you do with that character and to show the progress you make with them. Now in most modes you don't have to play with character data, but in Quest Mode you have to....there is no choice. 4) Game Modes - Arcade Game Modes - - Knockout Mode - - Knockout Mode is basically you choosing a path out of three choices of randomly drawn opponents. You are allowed to see all that you are going to fight in each path, but which ever path you choose, they will not go in order from left to right. Instead the computer randomly picks an opponent from the path that you've chosen and keeps going on as such til you either lose or have beaten all opponents on your path. Now in each path you can end up fighting the same fighter more than once. Just look carefully at all the paths there are and you will see that sometimes the face of one fighter appears more than once. If you truely hate fighting against that character, then avoid that path. There is no score count or any type of ranking count for playing Knockout Mode, so you're playing this one for fun really. This isn't a story mode either. So like I said before....this is basically for fun. Once you've defeated all the opponents of the path that you've chosen, then the credits will roll and you will have beat game....that's it. There's not even an extra credit for you to play again just for winning either. It's all pretty much just get up and leave so the next person can play. - Score Attack - - Score Attack is just as its name implies....a means of getting ranked on the machine. You're not given any kind of path to choose from, and you just run through a gauntlet of opponents that progressively get harder and harder. I have never seen an actual end to this mode, so basically you just keep going until you get your ass royally handed to you and you run out of money to play any more. If you've broke a record on the machine, then you get the chance to leave your name behind for all to see. From what I can tell, the machine has a memory bank, so your score won't be erased when the machine is turned off. If you're really trying to put up a good score to impress everyone, then you better know what you're doing since this mode gets hard real fast. - Common Themes in all Arcade Modes - - One thing about each mode, no matter what you play, the game gets harder and harder with each passing fighter. It starts off relatively simple, but by the time you've reached the 4th match at least....you're basically playing the game on hard mode on crack it seems. The computer will basically seem to almost know everything you're going to do before you do it, and the only way to win is by becoming unpredictable and figuring out tactics that just seem cheesy and underhanded at times. - You're not allowed to select a new character during a continue. Once you've chosen a character, make sure that it's the one you want to use for the remainder of the time that you're playing. I believe that if you lose during a multiplayer match, then you get the option to chose a new character at the continue, so I think that this is the only exception. - You can be interrupted by another player in any mode of play to start up a Versus match. Always be ready for a challenger at any time! - Playstation 3 Game Modes - - Arcade Mode - - This is the basic way to play the game. It's set up to the supposed story mode of this game, even though there's really nothing there in a story that lets you know what's going on. Every character has two routes that they can go on in this mode, so you don't always have the same character order that you have to fight. At the end of everyone's routes though (including Akira's) you will always face Akira in the final battle. After that, you will be given a chance at a bonus fight against Dural. You only have one shot against Dural at this time. Whether you win or lose the fight, the game will be over after it is done. Then your character data will be entered into your own personal high score rankings and that's that. That's all there really is about Arcade Mode. - Versus - - This is pretty self explanatory really. It's the only multiplayer aspect of the game. You have a few friends over? Well get to challenging them! You can't go online in this game, so you have to do things the old fashioned way of inviting everyone over your place to begin owning them. Just make sure you have 2 controllers, both of you pick characters, and then just keep fighting til you two are at each other's throats in real life. - Quest Mode - - In order to actually come up with something of an extra challenge, the guys at Sega decided to put this in. This is basically you (yes you....they meant for this to be all based on YOU as the main character) going around to various arcades in a small island like area and proving that you are the best of the best at Virtua Fighter 5. In this mode you can unlock items and clothes to further expand on your character's customization. Though I have been playing this mode for awhile, the one way to beating it for sure from what I can tell is by winning all the official tournaments. Though I will put out an entire section later detailing everything about Quest Mode, this is where I'm just going to elaborate on it. Each Arcade has it's own set amount of players that goes to it. Each Arcade also holds it's own special tournaments that aren't official and won't really hurt you if you lose them. All that the Arcade tournaments offer is special items that are usually hard to find, or a large sum of money so you can buy more clothes. You can check your status and who you've fought and how much and many people and items you've collected or fought here as well. - Dojo - - Here is where you can get in some practice before heading out to Arcade Mode or Quest Mode. You have two types of practice you can do. They are Free Sparring, which gives you free reign over what you want to do and how you want to practice, and there's Command Training, which gives you each character's move set that you must get through as it shows up on the top of the screen. I suggest using Command Training at first so you can learn all the character's move sets and then go into Free Training to get that perfection down with the character. In Dojo, you also have the Time Trial Mode. This is where you try to set how fast you can get through your selected character's basic move set as fast as you can. The first time you do this, you're basically setting the time. From there on out, it's all about seeing how fast you can get it all done in faster than your previous time. - V.F. TV - - Simply put...you just come here to watch some videos that the creators of the game put in for your enjoyment. There's nothing to unlock to watch later in this section and everything you see there is what you get. You have two promo videos and two videos starring the two new characters El Blaze and Eileen. - Customize - - Here you can go into your character data that you've made and start changing the way your character looks and the tagname that you want that character data to go by. This is basically where you go to change up the whole look of your data and what you want to use while in battle. It's not going to change the strength or weakness of your character, but you can make them to look smooth while kicking someone's ass! - Options - - Here's where you go to tweek all the aspects of gameplay to this game to suit your needs.

An interesting feature to try out at first, but it just annoyed me after awhile Controller Settings Here you can map out how you want your controller's button functions to work. The default layout is seen as such: Triangle = Punch Circle = Kick Square = Guard X = Punch L1 = Punch+Guard L2 = Punch+Guard+Kick R1 = Punch+Kick R2 = Kick+Guard Find your own comfortable setting so you can kick some ass properly! Screen Settings Here you can alter the way the screen will appear on your tv. If you're having problems reading something or you feel that the screen is too far to the left, then come here and change the way that it is displayed. You can also change the detail settings here as well. Sound Settings Here you can change how loud you want the game to be. You can alter three different categories. They are sound effects, music, and commentary. Each respective category alters how loud or soft the sound will be compared to the others. Leaving it all on 20 is the default and best recommended for this game, unless you're one of those people that just doesn't like hearing the music or sound effects during battle. Save Data Here you can choose to save all your data that you've done or load data from a previous game. Here you can also turn on or off the autosave feature of this game. You can also delete saved data from here as well. Rankings Here you can view the games rankings and see where you stack up. If you play with enough people that come over your place, let them try to get up on a few rankings to see if you're better or worse than they are. - And there you have it. Everything explained for the Options of this game. 5) The Characters - Ok....lets get down to it. You want to know how to fight with each character and what they can do. Well here's the layout of all to know for each character and their respective backgrounds. *** Akira Yuki *** :::::~~~~~~~~OO~:~~~~~~~~~~+$OZ~~~OO?I?+8+?~~=8?===============================+ :::::::~::??:OZ?~:?:~~I~~7OI88Z?=$Z7+I$DO7ZII?8+=~II=======~+=================== :::::::~:=O$7Z$$~~87:IO$~$D8O8$OIOOZ88D8$8Z=O+8I=+8$+7~~~?~7$+================== :::::~~:~$O8OZ8O7=OZ=O$DZO88O87OZD88OD88O8O~$D88OO8OZO===$Z8ZO=+================ :::::,~:?$OOOOD8Z+Z$$O788DOO888ZDOOD8888DO87ZDD888DOO8$?O8OOOO7+================ ::~~7$$7=ZD8O88OOOZZ887D8D888O8OD8ODZ8DODO8ZO888D8D88888ZO$Z8O7??~============== ::.+.$DO:DDO8D8Z887ZO8$8DDDDO8DZ888D888D8Z8ZZOD8NZDOOOOD8DZZ$$?OI~============== :::~ODDZO88ODDDO88O88O$DDDD8ODOZOOO888DDD88$O8DOD8N8ZOO8OOOZONIO7Z============== :::I$O888O8D8DDDDDDDN$$DDD8D88ZZO88O88DD8O8OODNODON8$8$DOO8O8O?Z8+==~=========== ::::Z8D888OD8DDDDDDNNZODDD8N88Z888D88$DDDDDDZZN88OM8ZDOD8DDOZ$Z88=============== ,:=+$O8DD88DDD8DDNDDNDDDDDD88O8DDDDDNZDDDD8DZ8ND88NDZ8D88O8$I88ZZ=~=~=========== ,:,OI88DD8O8DO8DDDDNDDDDDDDD888DNDDD88DDD88D$OODD8NDZOD88DD$$ND8$O==~=========== ,,,:888DDD88D888DDNNDDNNDDDND8ODNDDDDDDDDOZZ+88DDDN8ZO8DOD888DDZ$7~=~~========== ,,:,OO88DDDD8DOODDDDNDNDDDDDDD88DDDNDN8DNDZ?+8NDDNDOOD8ND88OD888$~~~+=========== ,,,::DDD8DDN888OODDDDNNNDDDNND888NDDNNDDN88+?OND8DNO8N8O8O88DO88?=~8+=========== ,,,,,,DDDDDND8D8OODDDDDDNNNDNNN88NNDNNDDNDOIN8ND8NN8DD8$8Z$ZOZ8O=:ZO~=========== ,,,,,.:DDDDDND8NDO8DNNNNNNNDNNN8ODNDONNDNOO8N8MNN$I~....=,..Z$O8~~8+~=~~======== ,,,,,:,IO88NDNNDDNDDDNNNDNMNNNNDDDNMNMMZ7~..............Z7~$+?ZD=Z8~?=========== ,,,,,,,.,ODDO8NDNDNNNNMND$?.......,:,::,:~:::...........$O~ZZD8888OO============ ,,,,,,,,:~8D8DD8O7.....,:=~=====~~::~~~:,,........,,,,,.O87$O88+8O8=~~========== ..,,,,,,,,..DDOO7,,,,,,:,:,:~::~:,,..........,:::,,,,,,78OZZ8O$?88=~~~========== .....,.,,,..DD$8:,,::::~::,,,,,,,,.,...,,:::::,..,:,...=D$ZZ88ZO8O=~=~~~======== ........,,..$OI+~~::::::,,,,,,::::::,,,,,,............78Z$8NOO88O7O:~~~~~~~~==== ............?Z$,,,,,,,::::::,.,.....,,,,.......,,~$NNN8O8D8DDO8O8O7=~~=~~~~~~~~~ .............$?,,,,,,,,,,,:,,,,,.......,:=+$DMMMNDNZ88NNDNN87+ZOOD$7=~~~~~~~:,.. .............7,.,,,,,:,:::::,,,,,:~~==?7$$$ZONNND8D8ND8NNDDI?ZZ=D8$I7:.......... ..............~.,,,,,,,:~=+?IIIII77II7$7IIII?ZDDD8DN88NDDDZ777ZZ?7=$7II+.~~~~~~~ ..............~:,:~=+II?I7III?III7O888OZ$?+??II777$DMM8DDZZ77II7ZI$7?I?II=,~~~~~ .............I~~=+=~?????++?III$DNNNO$$$$77III??+?II8MO8ZZ$I??+?Z$+8$=+++III:,~~ .............?O+==++IIIII??I7ONMM8$7I$ZOOOO$7?+++++?7OMDZ7O888O+Z$$~+?+===+III~: .............,=ZDO7II$7$7$8NMMMN$INMMNDOZZ7??++++++??INM$I?$ZZZ$$7~:+?=II?==??II ..............Z7$8MND87ZODNMMMMNOIIOZ$Z7I??++=+++++???DM$$77$$$ZZZDDZO?:~~++=++? ..............,Z+?Z8$D=+7O8DNNDOZZOZZ$$7I?===+=++++???DN$$Z777I7$~~:~+ZO$~~~~~~~ ...............~+I$ZO8~=I$ZO8OOO8OOOZZ7I?+=++++?+?????8877?~=???Z8+:~~:~~~=~~~~~ ...............,+7$Z$+~=?I7$$$$$$7IIII?+?+???I?IIIII??OOIIII??+ZZOZDOO:~~:~~~~~~ ................:=?+~:~=+7777777II??+??????III?IIII???$O77II???8ODZI~=~~~~~~~~~~ ................,::~~,~=?II77777I???????I777?$77III???I$788OZZ$Z8ZDDD~~:~~~~~~~~ .................,:~~,:~=?III7IIIIIII777$$$7777IIIII???$IZ$?DO$7II8+ZZI=~~~~~~~~ ................,,~==,:::~~=~?$77777$$$Z$$$$$7??I?III??I?$$?+DDIZ~~?Z+~::~~~~~~~ .................,:~=+++=+???+777777$$$$$$$$$$7I?III???I?$7?~ZD87~.ONZ=~~~~~~~~~ ................,:~+$$$8DD8O7III7777777$$$7777IIII?III$7I+==$D~,:=~~=IOZ~~:~~~ .................,:~?OOOOOZ77IIIIIII77777777I77IIIII77O7?I+?I+....:~::~$~~~~~~ ...................,,:~IZOO$$77I77777I7IIIII7III77II7I$O$$?II7?.,,.,~Z::~~~~~~~~ ....................,:~+777I??II7$$$$$7IIIIIIIII77777$ZZ$I7$7?,,....,7O?:~~~~~~~ ..................,,:~I$OO88O8OZZOOZ$$77777III77$Z$ZZZZ$7$Z?.,,......:?$~~~~~~~ ..................,,=$OZOOZZZZZOO$$$Z$$$$777777$ZZZZZZ$$$Z7.,,,.,.......,,~~~~~ ....................,~~~=II77$$$$$$$$$ZZ$$$$7$ZZ$ZZZZZ$ZZZ7.,:,,,,..,... ....:~~ .....................,~=I$OOOOOOZZZ$$$$$$Z$$$ZZOOOZZZZZOO$:::,,,,.,............, ....................~=I7$$$$$$$$$$$$ZZZZZZZZOZOOOOZZZZ$.~,,,:,.,,............. .......................+++??IIII777$$$ZZOOZOOOOOOOZOOZZZ,::,,,:,,,:.......... ................ ....=?=++?III7777$$ZOOOZOOOOOOOOOOOOZ,:~,,,:.:,~............. ............. . ....=+=I=?77777$$$$ZOOZOOOOOOOOOOOOOZ:::.:::,:,~,.,.......... . ................ ...=++++Z?$OOOOOO8O8OOOOOOOOOOOOOOO?:~,,~,:,:,::,,............. ............ ...=+++++?78O8$7IZZOO88OOOOOOOOOOOZI,:,:,,:,::,~,,.............. ........... ..~++=+++888DDI==?$ZOOOOOOOOOOOOOOZ::::,:~,,::=::............... - Backstory - - Akira left the Fourth World Fighting Tournament in the semifinals, defeated by Kage-Maru. With only disappointment to show for his efforts in the third and fourth tournaments. Akira began to doubt himself. But one day, as he continued his training deep in the mountains, Akira's gaze dropped to a creek nearby. A single leaf rode the current and spun around a boulder in the middle of the stream, avoiding it neatly. "The leaf spins because it rides the stream, not trying to resist the flow..." With a new epiphany fresh in his mind, Akira resumed his training. And now, as his training nears its close, an invitation for the fifth tournament arrives. "Now I should be able to hold my own-and more-against him." - Stats - Nationality - Japanese Birthday - 9/23/1968 Hobby - Kung-Fu Height - 180 cm (5'11) Weight - 79 kg (173 lbs) Measurements - 105/90/94 Blood Type - O Occupation - Kung Fu Teacher Fighting Style - Hakkyoku-Ken Voice Actor - Miki Shinichirou First Game - Virtua Fighter - Move Set - - Now it's time to learn how to use Akira properly.

Personal Opinion - - Ok....here's basically my take on Akira: First of all, if you didn't notice from his move sets, he's an extremely advanced character to try and master. So this guy is in no way a character to start off as until you know the ins and outs of this game. He may have that whole Ryu simplistic look to him, but don't be fooled....this guy takes FOREVER to actually get just some of his moves down right. I'd say that once you've mastered a character or two in this game and you want to use Akira as your main character of choice....then go for it. But be prepared for the long haul with him. I haven't actually met anyone that has mastered playing with him in the arcades on the home system yet. Everytime someone picks him, it's usually a newb that just barely gets off a simple punch with him right. Needless to say, without practicing extensively with him, you'll just be easy pickings for anyone that has played this game, even for just a few minutes with another character. I have somewhat of a problem with his fight style as well. I think that he kinda telegraphs his moves before he uses it. I just say that because I can usually block or dodge with relative ease any of his moves when playing against him. Now that's not to say that he's a complete failure of a character and to just leave him alone. No....like I said before....if you can get good with him and master him, then you'll see that this guy is a complete powerhouse. His combos are extremely devistating in strength, and just doing a few simple moves or one strong lunging elbow takes off damn near what a 5 hit combo would do with some characters in the game. If you ever meet an Akira master, then just stand there and let them beat you is all I can say....mainly because they had to of put in a lot of time and effort to getting as good as they did with him. So basically what I can say of him is that though his fighting style is somewhat too slow for my taste and too complicated that I don't even want to attempt to getting into even the mid level moves, he is still a strong offensive and defensive fighter, being able to dish out major damage in just a few simple moves and taking a beating while at it as well. *** El Blaze *** ::::::::::~~~~:~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~=============================== :::::::::::::::~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~============================= :::::::::::::::::~::~~~~~~~~~~:~~:?OOOOOOOOOOZ?~~=~~~~~~~~~~==================== ::::::::::::::::::::::~~~:~~~~8=OO8OOOOOOOOOOOOOO$Z~~~~~~~~~~~================== :::::::::::::::::::::::~::,=~?OO8OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO7ZO$7~~=~~===================== :::::::::::::::::::::::~~:I~8O8+OO8OOOOO$OZOOOOO8IO~$$$$+===~=================== :::::::::::::::::~:::.+Z~~=8888$8OOO8ODI7,.O8$O8$Z7$7=77$7====================== :::::::::::::::::,O::$Z+$88O8$?=88O$IZ$IZ.I.7OZ7Z877~?7~=+I7~=================== ,,:::::::::::::::.I.ZI7$$$$$~?7=$$ZOZ$DO$.=I:ZIO++7==8===~..I~~~================ ,,,,::::::::::::,..~I$$$Z$$III+OOOZZZOOO::..~77$777~.$?++.+:+$~~~=~==~=~======== ,,,,,:::::::::::,Z.I$Z$$.Z$~I~8ZZZZZZOZO.7..?IZZZ$7$I??I.Z~+,=7=~~~~~~~~~=~===== ,,,,,,,,,,,,::,:I,I$ZZ$$,OOI?8OZZOZOOOO7.:..~,O$7Z$7$7?.7.~=:,~7,~=~~~~~~~====== ,,,,,,,,,,,,:,:=77$ZZZ$,=OO+OZZO$ZOOOOD.7...:,OOZZZZ$,~=,.7,::,:7=~~~~~~~~====== ,,,,,,,,,,,,::=I=7ZZZ7~,7OO?OOZ8OO8?OO..=...??O87$Z8,7:...Z,~::,$~~~~~~~~~====== ,,,:,,,,,,,,,,ZI=$ZZ$::IOOOOZOO8=~OZOO.?....?O7$OO$,I....,,~~=:~=$~~~~~~~~====== ,,.,87?,,,,,,$$I+ZOO:=7OOZOO$~Z=8OOZO.I~...:.ZOZO.:I.....O~:+=~:+$?~~~~~======== ,,,,..ZN87.,:ZO=IZO.=7OOOO8~7=8OOOZD.::....I:OZ?.$......$.~+~,+:IZ7~~~~~======== ....,,.:OOD$7$O$D8+?IOZZOZ~?=ZDO8Z8.,?....=,$Z.?:......Z.?+8ZO,Z:.7~~~~~=~====== .......,.OZ$$+O8DD+~O8888~I=8O8OO+.77.....7..~$......~+Z8OOO?~..~.:=~~~~~~====== ......,,.,DZ$D$DNN+OD8DOI$$OOO88..ZI.......Z$,......$:8OZDZ7:.~$$,I7::::~~~==~:~ ...........DZO8Z.MNODZOD?7O888+,,ZI...............O~IZDND7..IO.,7+Z=~~~~:~~~:~~~ ............D77$8ZMNDDO??DD8..,Z8:~,...,$,......O+=ONND:.:Z+.,,7,$,I:~~~~~~~~~~: ............ID7$8D7.DDDDDZ.:OD8D7$77$:8,I+...,O,ZOOD,.,OO,,::,8:$:Z7:::::::::~:: ...........,.$.~$Z87$88.?,D888$ZZ$7DN~$Z$7:,O,$D8Z..ZO,=====:Z.8O$O+~~~~=~~~~~:: ............ID777ZO8,$:ODDDD7OOO78D?7DDOZ7?=IM8..,O7~=+?+?:8~IDDOZ8OZ::~~~~~~~~~ ............8+.ZOOOZDDDDD$7888ON$OOOZO8O87777~OO~+????+??8:ZNND8O$D$=?I?++=====~ ............,I7$Z8$D8DODND8ONDO$Z$$$ZZOO8$77+IIIIII?7:O~+DNDDDDOZZOZ$7+III???+++ ..............I78$8DDDNDDNDODOZZZZOO88ZD$$77II777:OO:7ONNDDDDDDZ$ZO~$7II+==????? ..............,78NOD8DDN8NMNI~$88DD8OODO$$777+=87:ZD88DDDND7$D8ZZ$I?$?II?++==++? ...............:N$8D7888MMMNNOIZOZO++8$$$$$$O=8DDNDM+..,,OD$NNOZ$?I+Z=I???+++=== ................O88NOD$ONNNDDDD8.O=DZOZ$$$$O.O?..:,Z88=77$ODDZO$$:$IZ$+I???++++= ................ZZZOZ8?$D8D?.,~ND87ZOZZZ$$$O8D$??7$77777$INNOOOO$ZZ$O7:I???????+ ................$ZZ$7Z,,.+DDN?OOO8OOZZZZ$$$7777777III78+DNN88NDZZ88Z8ZZIIII?+?+? ................$$$$:7Z+O=IOZ$$7O88ZZZZ$$$$77I7I??88IDDDDDDDNDDZZO8ZOII???????++ ...............~7~.+:.7ZZZ7I7Z8Z7$Z$$$$7D88OI:$DDDDDDDDONNNDDDZO8O$7I??I?I???? ................:,?..?$IIDDNND8$$$Z$7778DNDDNDDDDDDDDNZNNNNNNDDZ8ZO7777I?????? ..............,:?+.~88877O$$ZOZODDZ$7778++DDDDDDDDDD8ONNNNNNNNDDND$$$777I????? ..............~I$D88=Z888OZZZZZD8I$D$$$7D8=DDDDDDDNOONNNNNNNNNNNN8Z$$7777I??+? ............8888?8DD88OOZZZZ$ZDNN$DD777Z?DDNNDDD8O8NNMNNNNNNNNNOZZ$$777II?=? ...........DZ+...$Z$ZZZZZZZOZZ8DN8$8O77O.NNNNDO8ONNNNNNNNNNNND8OOZ$$77II?== ................O$OOZZOZZO8OOZZNNNZ$8II+NN88OOONNMMNNNNNNNNNOOOOOZZ$7II?++ .....................:O888OOOZZZOZZZNNNM$Z7Z8D88OONNNNMNMNNNNNN8888OOZZ$$7I??+ ...................,7$ZZOZZZZZZZZZOZNNNN$Z8OO888NNMMMNNNNNMMN8888OOZ$7I????+ ..................,,,$OOOOZZZZZZZZOZODN88$OO888DDMMMMNNNMMMNDD88OO$7I??????+ .....................,,+I777$ZZZZOOOOO88888888D88DMMMMNNNMMMMD8DDO$?I?????++++ .....................,?777$$ZZZOO888DDNNDDMN8NDMMMMNNNMMD~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ .........................,~7$ZZZOO888$~~?NNNMMNNNMMMMNNNNO~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ..........................,:OZO88D7..,,,,~~~~~~==8NNNNN:===~~~~~~~=~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ............................,,,.,.,,,,,,,~~~~~~~+?8DD$++=~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ...............................,,,,,,,,,:~~~~~~~+IND===~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ................................,,,,,,,,::~~~===??++===~~~~~~~=========~~~~~~~~~ .................................,,,,,,,::~~===+?====~~~~~~~~~=========~~~~~~~~~ ................................,..,,,,,::~~==++=======~~~~~~=========~~:~~~~~~~ - Backstory - - Unrivaled in the light-heavyweight division, El Blaze viewed Wolf's victories with envy and jealousy.

He's a total badass for starters! It's about damn time that we hispanics got a decent video game fighting character for once. And before anyone says that there was Christy from Tekken, let me just point out that she was nothing more than a character model swap for Eddy.... I mean they have the same exact move sets for christs sake! The only thing that separated the two was that they made Christy into a stereotypical latina by making her big breasted and with a big ass...not to say that that's wrong mind you, but I'm just saying. But now....now we get a truely decent latin fighter in El Blaze with a great fighting style that did originate in Mexico. I really do hope that the guys at Tekken take note of the lucha fighting style and make a luchador of their own....THAT'S HISPANIC, NOT JAPANESE!!! With that said, El Blaze is easily a great character to start off with if you're new to the series. His move set is simple enough to pick up on in no time, yet still offering quite alot in terms of advanced fighting. El Blaze can seem like a beginners character at first, but once you get to the core of his fighting style, then you find a very tricky character to use. Now El Blaze is not a powerhouse by no means, and he's certainly not a defensive character either. What El Blaze shines in is his speed, move diversity, and what I like to call "Blitz Tactics". What that means is that if you can switch up enough with him quickly enough, then you find yourself with a total offensive character. El Blaze is not a turtle users dream by no means. You don't want to actually stay on offense too long. Hell even most if not all of El Blaze's reversal techniques immedieately require you to start launching an offensive and keep it going. El Blaze from what I've seen has an answer for everything in terms of fighting. For those that love to push offensive pressure onto you, you can push it back onto them easily enough, throwing their game off. For those that love to turtle and stay in crouching blocked or just avoidance of you, El Blaze can immedieately run after an opponent at the drop of a hat, and with an extensive throwing set, he can catch turtlers in any position. As stated before, if you are a beginner to the Virtua Fighter series, then El Blaze is a great character for you to at least learn some of the basic ropes without worrying too much about things. If you feel that your loyalty lies with another character after using El Blaze at first, then move on. For those that love the style that El Blaze brings to the table though, veterans and pros will come to love the diversity and simplicity that El Blaze can offer in terms of advanced fighting. I just hope that in terms of canon in the Virtua Fighter storyline, that El Blaze does defeat Wolf and places high if not wins the 5th World Tournament. *** Eileen ***

Personal Opinion - - Ok....here's basically my take on Eileen: Eileen is the other new character to the game. Now I haven't seen monkey style kung fu too much in games....actually the only time I can say I've seen it off the top of my head is in Mortal Kombat Armageddon. But here, we have a cute little girl character kicking some ass and taking names with this style to say the least. She is a character that requires almost the same game style as El Blaze, but not so much so. I've seen people use her as a turtle character before and play an extremely annoying low game to win matches. She is a great character to learn the ropes with in this game, but don't expect much from her in the strength department. You have to rely on her quickness and combos in order to put in some high damage. All in all Eileen is a great character to get to know the game with and quickly master. *** Pai Chan *** :::~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~=+II$$7II?+==~=========================== :::::::::~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~+8DDDNDDDD88DDDNNN8Z7I======+?7$?============= ::::::::::::~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~I8NNDD8DDDDDDDDDD88ZO8D888DN$I$DDNDDDDNN7=========== ::::::::::::::~~~~~~~~~=DDNNN8D$OO8DDDDDDDDD8ZZZ7$DD8D88D888OZ8D8DDDDN+========= :::::::::::::::::~:~:ZNDD8DDD8$ZDODD8DD88D8D8O8Z7IIZ$ZO888Z8ZO8Z888888N========= ::::::::::::::::::~ZD8DDDDDD88$8Z88D88D888DDD88D88OOZOO888Z88OOO8ZO8OOOD7======= :::::::::::::::::ZZDD888DD888OZOOZDDDD8DDDNNDDNDDDD8DDDND88888O8OO$88Z88D+====== ::::::::::::::~?DDOD8DD8DDD8O888Z8DDDNNNDDNDDNDMMDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD88ZO$ZO8ZN====== :::::::::::::=?D88888DDD8DD8OOZ8Z88NNDNNNNNDNNNDDNNNDNNDDDD8$ZD888DZZ8DOODI===== ::::::::::::=O8O8O8DDDDDDDD8OZ8D8N8NNDDNNNNDDNNNNND8DNN88O8DDODDNDN88DD8OON+==== ,,::::::::+DND$ZONDNNDNNNNNDDDNNODOO888888DDDDDDDDDNNNDNDDDDDDONNDDNDNDDD8DD=+== ,,,,,::IODDDD$888NNDDDDDD8D8DO8DO$ODI$ZZDZ8ODO8D8ODDNNNNNNDDD88DDNDDDDNNDD8D+=== ,,::,:8888D8DOODDDDDDDDD888O8$OZ77??++++=$II7I7INNODDDDNDDDDDDD8NDDDDDDNDD8O==== ,,,:,?8888DDZOZDDDNNDDD8$$77$IIII++=~==~===+=II+O$7OD8DDNDDDDDD8DDDDDDD88DZ+==== ,,,,,$OOO8D888DDDDDD8DII?II++?+?=~:~~~~~~~~~:~~~=?I$OOZ8DDDDND8DDDDDDD88DI+===== ,,,,?8ZOZZD8D8DDDD88Z8??+=~~~~::::::::::::::::::~~~~+$O8DDDDDDDDD8DDNDDDI======= ,,,:DO7OZZO8O88DDOZ7$+?=~:::::::::::::::::::::::~~~~=??ZODDDDDDD8DDDNNNN7======= ,,,:888ZOO88DDDDD8$??+~~::::,,,:::,,,,:::,:::::~~~~~==+I788DDD8DN8I=DMNM7======= ,,,,O88888DD8DDD887?=~~::::,,,,,,,,,,,,,,:::::::~~~~~==??788888DZ++?+NNM?======= ,,,:8ZO8DDDDDNDDDNI~~~::,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,:::::~~~~~~====?I7OZ7??I++?NNDN======= ,,,,DD88DDNN8DDD8I=~::::,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,::::~~~~~~=====+?I$++??==+8NNN======= ...,DDDNNDNNNDD88?=~::::,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,:~+$O$I+=+=~~~~~=?+=:+~~~=ONNN8~~=~~~ ....,NNDDNNDDN8D8+=~::::,,,,,,,,,,,.,,,,,:~?OO?~====++=~~~~~??~:=++~=ONNNN~~==~~ ....,IDNNDDNDND8D?=~:::::,,,,,.....,,,,,:?Z$?~~+III???+~~~~~~I~:=+===DNNDN$~~~~~ ......~8NDDDDDDNDZ=~~:::::,,,,,,,,,,,,::=7?++$ZDDNDDZI+~~~::~+~::+~==NNNDN8~~~~~ .......,.:ZDD8NNN8I=~=7$OOZ?~:,,,,,,,,:~+++ID?NMMM8?7~~::::::~I:=+==+NNDDND~~~~~ ............,.,?I8$~?=~~~~+II7?~:,,,,,~=++ID:=OZDNI?=~:::::~~~I~=+===NDNNND~~~~~ .............,,,I?I=====+???++++=~:,,:~++?7O7II??+==~::::::~~~==~~=+~$NNND8~~~~~ ............,,,,D+=?~?78M?8MMM8?+=~:,:~=======~~~~~:::::::~~~==+===:~~DNNNI~~~~~ ............,,,.8D~==I8M?~7+DDN+7~~:,:~===~~~::::::::::::~~~===++ZI:::?NNND~~~~~ ............,,,,?NN++:~=IIII?=~~::~:::~~~~~::::::::::~~~~~~======~:~:~$NNNDI~~~~ .............,..,NN7+:~~~=~~::::::::::~==~~~:::::::~~~~~~~======::~~~~DNNNDD~=~~ .................MNN++::::::,,::,::~::====~~:::::~~~~~~~=====+++~:~:~~DNDDDD~=~~ .................INN8=::::,,,:::,::~::~==+=~~~~~~~~~~~======++==::+~~~DNDDDD~~~~ ................,,ZMN8=::::::::::::~:,,~===+~~~~~~~~=~=====++++~::$~~~DDDDDD~~~~ ..............,,,,,NDD8~~:::::::::~~:,,~=++?~~:~~~~~======+++++~~~I~~~ZDDDDD~~~~ .............,,,,..~NDDO~~~~~::::::=+?=?I++=~~~~~~~~====+++++++:~:~~~~~DDNDZ~~~~ ............,..,,,,$MDDNO~~~~~~~:::::~=~~~=~~~~========+++++++=:~~~~~~~DDDD+~~~~ .............,,,,,,8NND8Z?~~=~~~~::::::~~:~~===??+====++++++++=~~~~~~~~NDDDI~~~~ ...............,,..7NNNDDZ,==~~~~::~::=++I7$$O8$=====+++++++++=~~~~~~~7DDDDD~~~~ ..............,,,,.~NNNDNZ::==~~~~~++I7$OZ7+=??+=~===++++???+=~~~~~~~~NDDDDD~~~~ .............,,,,,,,ONDDD$:,,~==~~~~~=+===~=??+=====+++????+===~~~~~~~DDDDDD~~~~ .............,,,,,,,~NNDD+,,,,:===~~:===+????+=~~==++???I??+==~MNN=~~~DDDDD$~~~~ ...........,,,,,,,,,:MNDDO,,,,,,:===~~~~~~:::::~==++?III?+++==~8MMM=~~DDDD8~~~~~ ..........,,.,,,,,,,$DNNNN,,,,,:,IO==~~::::,::~~=+??III?++++===?MMZD~~ZDND?~~~~~ ..........,..,,,,,,,DNDNNZ,,,,,=MMMM~==~~~~:~~=+??IIII?+++++++==M.8DI~=NDN=~~~~~ ...............,,,,,?DDNN8,,,,7MMMMM+~~==++++??IIIII??+++++++++.O88MN~7NDN7~~~~~ ...............,,,,,.ONMN?,,,OMMMMMMI~~===++????II??+++++++++~7888NNM~$DNND~~~~~ ................,,,,,ONNN$===MMMMMMMO=====++???????++++++++,ZOONNNNNNDDDNDN~~~~~ ................~ONDNNNNNMMNOMMMMMMM8+====+++???+++++++++:+$ONNNNNNNMM8OD8D+~~~~ ..............INDDDNDDDNNNNNDMMMMMO+??++~===++++==+++++:7IONNNNNNNNNND$$ON8~~~~~ .............DDD8DND8DDNNNNN7MMMM7+???+++=~=======++~+$7$DDDNNNNNNDNZIIZZ$$O7~~= ...........,DDD8DDODNDDDNNNNMIMM7=??I??+++======+:?I7ZD8DDDDNNDDDO7??=7????I7$OZ ..........~8DD8DDO8DDDDDDDDNMD$D++??I???+?+==+,+I7IZN888DDDDDDD7I?+~?+=++?IIIII7 .........,DD88DOO8DDDDDDDDDMNMN8=+???II+,=?77I77OD8888888D8877?=+=?==+??????IIII ........~OD88D8Z8DD8DDDDDDNNDMMDZ?????777I7Z8D88888888888OII?==~??+?++I?I+?IIIII .......,7D8O88788DDDDDDDDODMDDMND+???I7I$D888888888888ZO7$?==+~7I+=$=???II??ION8 ......,=88O88IO888D8DDD888$DD8MM8Z???I7IZ8888888888ZO+?$?===+I?+?I7IIII7I7?O8D8I ....,.:788O8Z$8DD888D8D8888DD8DMNZ+++I7I8888D888OOZ?+D7?=+~?+???7??7?I??IIZ$MO7?

But before she could see him, she was defeated and had to leave the tournament. Pai searched for her father afterward, and found him just in time to save the weakened Lau from Lei-Fei's killing blow. Hit with the realization that Lau did not have long to live, Pai realized that she could do nothing for her father-she had to respect his desire to pursue ultimate strength for as long as he lived. So when Pai learned that Lau was participating in the fifth tournament, she decided to enter as well, telling herself that the only way she can show her love for her father is to be strong, both emotionally and in combat. - Stats - Nationality - Chinese Birthday - 5/17/1975 Hobby - Dancing Height - 166 cm (5'5 1/2) Weight - 49kg (107 lbs) Measurements - 85/54/88 Blood Type - O Occupation - Action Star Fighting Style - Ensei-Ken Voice Actor - Minami Takayama First Game - Virtua Fighter - Move Set - - Now it's time to learn how to use Pai Chan properly.

know....with the way technology is going nowadays and the way we can make 3D models look almost human is crazy....especially if you can find a woman that looks like her....damn! A beautiful fighter to say the least, and very powerful, she is far beyond the stereotypical female fighter. She can take down people in just a few good hits, and when properly mastered, you can destroy people with a blistering offense and a strong defense. Pai Chan is easily enough one character that people would love to master simply because of her style of martial arts and the way she destroys the competition in no time flat. Now that's not to say that she doesn't have her down sides. She does take time to master and if you are wanting to end matches in about 3 or 4 moves....then you're going to have to learn how to time her counters to hitting people. Her counters are the big money makers and sometimes it is tough to time them against people, especially if they're veterans of the game. So if you can learn how to bait people into attacking you the way you want them to do so, then you'll have no problem destroying everyone that you come across in this game. Pai Chan is beauty and strength all rolled into one that you won't regret using once you've mastered. I would say that she is an advanced to intermediate fighter so get some practice with a beginner character for a little bit and then move up to her. *** Lei-Fei *** ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~==~~=================================+==== ::::~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~=~~:.......,:~=======~=========================== ::::::~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~:,.....,...............,~============================ ::::::::~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~,,,:,,,,:,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,......:=~======================= :::::::~~~~~~~~~~~~~~:::~~~~~~~~~~:~:::::::::::::,.......======================= ::::::::~~~~~~~~~~~:::~=====~=~==~~~~~~~::::::::,,.... ...,===================== ::::::::::::~~~~~::~==========+===========~==~~~~:,,........~=================== ::::::::::::~~~~:~===++++++++=+=++==============~::,,........,================== ::::::::::::::::~==++++++++++++++++++===+==+++===~~:,,.........================= :::::::::::::::==+++++++++++++++++++++==+++++++===~:::,,........================ :::::::::::::~==+++++++++++++=+++++++++++++++=+=~==~::,,,,,,,,..:=============== ::::::::::::===+++++++++==+=+++++++=+++++++=====~~~~~~~::::::,,..:============== ::::::::::::==+++++++=+++==+==+===~~========~~~~~~~~~~~~::::::,...============== :::::::::::=+++++++=+++++=======~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~:::,..:============= ::::::::::~++++++++++++++++++===~~~~~:~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~:::,,,.============= ::::::::::++++++++++++++++++++===~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~:,,:,.~============ ,,:::::::,++++++????++++++++++++==~~~~~~~~~====~=~~~~~~~~~~~~:,,,,,:============ ,,,,::::::++????????????+++++++++==============~~======~~~~~::,,,,,,============ ,,,,,,:::~+??????????I???+++??++++==============~======~~~~~:::,::,,============ ,,,,,,,,,=+?????IIIIIII????????+++++=================~=~~~~~:::,::,,============ ,,,,,,,,,=+??????IIIIIIII????????+++++++=============~~~~~~~::,,:::,~~~~~=~===== ,,,,,,,,,:????????IIIII??????????????++++++===========~~~~~:::,,,:::~~~~~~~~~=== ,,,,,,,,,,?IIII??I????????????+???????++?+++===========~~~~~::::,,:,~~~~~=~===== ,,,,,,,,,,?III?????????++++????????????++++============+?II?+=~~:::,~~~~~~~~~~== ,,,,,,,,,,?III??????++++++++????????++??++++=====~===+I$DDDO$7+~:::,.,.,~~~~~~~~ ,,,,,,,,,,?????+????+II$$7I??+++????+++++++===~~~~==IZ8N8O$7I?+=~,::~++=~~~~~~~~ ,,,,,,,,,,+????+???IZODDNNNDO$??++++++++?++++=~~~=78NDO$?+======~,,,?+??:~~~~~~~ ,,.,,,,.,.~????+??I7$ZZZODNNMMNDZ7I?+++????I???78DN8Z7??+++++++=:,.,++=+,~~~~~~~ ,,,,,,.??I?????+??II$7IIIII7Z8DMMMNN8$7IIII7$ZDN8O8O$$$$O=8O?=~:,..,?$7?,~~~~~~~ ,,,,,,??$I7????++I7$$777?I???7$ODDDNND8O7??+IZZ$ONI+:~DMN7=~~~:,...,IZ$I:~~~~~~~ ,,,,,,?77I7?+??+=+III$7N$I+=$OMMZND8DDDO7+==I77I88Z$$77?+++=~:,,..,:~Z7I:~~~~~~~ ,,,,,,+I7Z$I++?+==??III??$7??Z$ZZOZD8OO$I+=~++I$Z$77I777I+=~:::,,,,=I$7?~~~~~~~~ .,,,,,~IZO8$????+++????I7$$$$$$7$$ZZ$$7I?=~~~=++III?????+==~~:~::,~+Z7I:~~~~~~~~ ......,I$OO$????+++???????IIIIII7777IIII?=~~:~=++????++++=====~~:,~ZII=~~~~~~~~~ .......+7ZZO????+???????????????II???I??+=~~:~~=+++++++++=++===~~:7$?=:~~~~~~~~~ .....,..I7ZZOII?+??IIII?????????????II???=~~:~~=++++==+++++++===~,=?+:~~~~~~~~~~ ...,,.,..?I7ZZI?++?IIIII??????????IIIII??+~~:~~=+++++++++++++++=::~~~:~~~~~~~~~~ ,,,,,,,,,.=II$$?+++??IIIIIII????IIII7I??++~:::~~=???++++++?++++~:~?+~~~~~~~~~~~~ ,,,,,,,,,,.~?????++++?I7777IIIIIII777+=++=~~~~~::????++????++=~~~~::~~~~~~~~~~~~ ,,,,,,,,,,,,+?+?+??++??I777777777777I+==+++===~~~:I????????+=~~~:~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ...,,,,,,,,,,+?$++?I????I77777777II77II7I7$7I?+7$=+???????+=~~~~:~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ...,,,,,,,,,,,:~~+?II?+?II777777IIIII$8NN8ZZ77$I+==++????+=~~==~:~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ....,,,,,,,,,,,,.=+?II???I77777III???I7$ZZO87++=~~==++???+=~~~=~:~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ..,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,+?II??III77777IIIII?II77II?+=~~~~=++???++=~=~~:~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,=+?II?III777777IIIIIIII77III?+=~~=+++???+===~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,???IIII777777777777Z8DD8O8O8888O$$7I???+===~:~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,++IIII777$77$$Z8NNDOZOOOO$?+==+++I7I????++~~~~~~~~:,:::::::~ ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,++II7777$$7$$7III??+==+?+??II??+?III???+=~~~~~::+III?I??+??

But when he found Lau in the fourth tournament, he saw for himself the amazing power of the style, and approached Lau after the tournament as a promising student. Impatient to learn quickly, Lei-Fei attacked Lau, hoping to see the secrets of Ko'en-ken. But the weakened Lau was unable to fight back, and survived only because of Pai's sudden appearance. Lei-Fei had failed in his mission to destroy Ko'en-ken and had failed to learn Ko'en-ken for himself. His only choice was to develop the strength required to defeat anyone who came after him. Lei-Fei used the pressure to push himself to new heights. Now, Lei-Fei is ready to enter the fifth tournament. - Stats - Nationality - Chinese Birthday - Unknown Hobby - Praying Height - 175 cm (5'9) Weight - 63 kg (138 lbs) Measurements - 98/85/83 Blood Type - B Occupation - Monk Fighting Style - Shoalin-Ken Voice Actor - N/A First Game - Virtua Fighter 4 - Move Set - - Now it's time to learn how to use Lei-Fei properly.

Personal Opinion - - Ok....here's basically my take on Lei-Fei: Lei-Fei is the assholes dream character I'd say. He's doing things all his way and he doesn't care who he hurts to achieve his goals. He's a strong character to use and has an extremely big mix up game. Alot of his style and damaging combos requires him to transition into one stance to another. He does have some simplistic and good moves for his basic stance that you start off with at the beginning of each round, but using this is just a beginner's strategy. For a person to become great with Lei-Fei, it'll require alot of practice and perfection. You have to learn the ins and outs of all his stances and when the right time to use them is. One of the biggest downfalls that Lei-Fei has is that in most, if not all, of his stances is that he is unable to block until he's set back to his basic stance. So don't get discouraged in the beginning of learning him. You have to learn how to keep a huge offensive going with Lei-Fei without allowing people to break it. If you have to try and mount a defense with Lei-Fei, then the first thing you need to learn is to get back into his basic stance and then learn how to counter from this stance. This way you have a means to block at least and with some practice, a means to begin your offensive again. Lei-Fei can be a great character to use and learn, but he is definitely a character that a beginner couldn't bring out all of the potential and abilities just right off of the bat. Lei-Fei isn't a character like Akira that requires perfection and to be a veteran at the game or the series of the game, but Lei-Fei is a character that a pro at the game could use and love. So basically get some getting to know the game with a simple character at first, and then move on over to Lei-Fei once you have a feel for the game, then spend alittle bit of time in the Dojo to perfect your technique with Lei-Fei. A great Lei-Fei fighter can definitely win matches and tournaments with very little stress or effort. *** Aoi Umenokouji *** ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~====~~==~~~===============================+=++ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~=~=~IONMNNNNN8I~=~=~================================= :~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~=7D8N8O88D8DNNMMNM?================================== ::::~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~=~~?ODDDDDD8DNDOO8DDMMNMMMMNI~============================== ::::::~~~~~~~~~~:~~~OMD88O8MMMMMMMMN88888DDDMMMMMM8============================= ::::::~:::~~~~~:~?MMNNDOODDMMMMMMMMMMNN88DNDNNMMMMMM7~========================== :::::::::~:~~~~~MMNZZ8MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMNND8D8NNMMMNMMMMMI~======================== :::::::::::::~7MM88OMMMMNNNMMMMMMMMMMND8888DNNDNMMMMMMMO+======================= :::::::::::~:$MMN8MMMMNNNNNMMMMMMMNNDDD8OOODNNNN8NMMMMMMM+=~==================== ::::::::::~~ZMMNDNMMMMNNNNNNMMMNNMNDDD88OO8DDNNMNDDMMMMMMM+=~=================== :::::::::::ZMMNDDNMMNNNNDDNNNMNNDDND88OOOODDNNNNNNDD8NMMMMMO==================== :::::::::::NMM88DNNNNNDDDDDDNNNND8888O88ODDNNNMNNDND8ODNMMMMM+================== ::::::::~:OMM8O8D88DDD8NDDD8DDD88OOOO8ODNDDNNMNNNNDD8O88NMMMMM~~~=============== :::::::::?MNNDDO8ZO88888888OOOO8OZO888D8NNNNNMNNNNN888O88DMMMMM=~=============== :::::::::DMNNDD88OOOZZZOOOOZZZZOO8DDD8DNNNNNNMMNNNDD88OO8DDNMMMM================ ::::::::~NMNNDD8DOZOZ$ZZZZZOO8D88DDNNNNNNNMMNNNNNDDD88OOODNDMMMMM+============== ::::::::OMDNNN8DD8OO8OOOO8OO8NNNDNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNDO88O8O88DDDMMMMN~============= ::::::::NM8NNNDNDO8888DD8DDDDNNNNNNNDNNNNNNNN888DD8OO8OOO88DDDMMMMD============= ,,,::::~NM8NNNNNND8DDNDNNNNNNNNNNDDDDDDDDDDD8OO888D88O8O8888DNMMMMNZ============ ,,,,,,,+MN8DDNNNNN8DNNDNNNNNNNDDD8D8DD8D8DD8O888D88N888888DDD8NMMNNN============ ,,,,,,:OND8DDNNDNNDNNNNNNNDNDD8888888888O88888IDND8ND88D88DNDDDNMMO?============ ,,,,,,,8MD8DDDDDNNNNNNNNND888888888O8O8887O88ZIDNDODD888D8DDDN8DMM?~~~========== ,,,,,,,DMNO8DD8DNNNNDNNDDN8888888OD7O88OOIZOOZ?7NDOO8DOOD8D88D8DNNM+=~~=~======= ,,,,,,,DMD8OD88DDDDDNNDD88D8O8888DO?O88OZ+IOOZ++88ZZ88O788D8DDDDNMMZ==~========= ,,,,,,,DMN8O888DD8D8DND8D88888O8Z8O$ODZOZ==ZZI?78O$?OZZ?88DD8D88DNMM=~~~~~~~~~~~ ,,,,,.,$MN8O8OO8888O8DDZO8888OZZO7Z$+$IO+==$$ZZ+7Z++$$OI$ODD8DD8DMMM7=~~~~~~~~~= ,,,,,,,IMND88O888DDZ88DOIZOO$Z77+?O$=7IZ~~=Z8+=+$$ZOOOO7IO8DDD8DDNMMN~~~~~~~~~== ,,,,,,,?NMDO8O8D88D8IOOZZ?I7$I$????I~??7~7Z7+78NZD8D8DOI?OODDDDDDNMMM7~~~~~~~~~~ .,,,,,,:MND88888NZ88O?ZZ$$++?I+I+=~=~=+~~++?7N~I8OO8?O?+?Z$DDD8DDNMMMM~~~~~~~~~~ ,,,,,,,.=NND888ODO7OOZ77$ZO7II7$I+~=::=:~===I+,.:=?Z7====$78DDDNNNMMMM=~~~~~~~~~ .,,.,,,,:ZNDD888OD77OZ7+?+?7?IIIII+=:::::~~:?+~:~==~~~:~=++88DDNNNNMMMD~~~~~~~~~ ...,.,,,.+8DN88D888I+?II=?$ZZ$77II++~:,::~:,::::::::::::~~=ZODNMNNMMMMM~~~~~~~~~ ....,,,,,,:8ND888ZZO??$ODNDZM88$7+?+=~:::~~~~::::,,:,:::::=$ZNNNNNMMMMM$~~~~~~~~ ,..,,,,,,,,~DDN8DO77ZZDM7++88O+I+=~?+=:::~~~~::::,,,,,::::~ZZDNNMNMMMMMN:~~~~~~~ ...,,,,,,,,,ODDD8NZII7OON7++O?~~~=+?+=~:::~~~:::::,,,::::~~78DDDNNMMMMMNI~~~~~~~ ....,.,,,,,,,NDDNDNZI??+???+=~~~~=+++=~::::~~~:::::,:::::~=IO$ODNNMMMMMNZ~~~~~~~ ..,...,..,...=DDDDDD$?+====~~~~~~==++==~,::~~~~::::::::::~~ZOI78NNMMMMMN8=~~~~~~ ...........,.,MNNDNN87+===~~~::~~~=++=~~,,::~~~~:::::::::~+$IIZIDNMMMMMMD=~~~~~~ .........,,,.,ZMDNNNN8++=~~~~::~~~==+==~,:::~==~:::::::::~7?+?ZODDMMMMMN8+~~~~~~ .......,,,,,,.,MNNNNMN$?+=~~~~~~~~~=+++++=+~?~:::::::::::?+=~+?7DNNMMMMNO=~~~~~~ .....,,,,,,,,,,MMNNNNNNO++====~~~~~~=+?7I??+~:::,,,,::::~=~~~+7IDNNMMMMNO=~~~~~~ ....,,,,,,,,,,,:MMNNNNNN8???+===~~~~~=====~~~::,,,::~~::::::=???8NNMMMMDZ=~~~~~~ ....,,,,,,,,,,,,MMMNNNDND8OI?++===~~~~~~==~~=+++++?7~::::::~~=?7ZNNMMMM87~~~~~~~ .....,,,,,,,,,,,7MMMNNNNNOO8$??++====~===I7777$Z?~,~::::::~~~=?$?NNMMMMD?~~~~~~~ .......,,,.,,,,,,MMMMMNNNN8Z$8$??++++++?$$Z$I~~::~=:::::::~~=+7~?NNMMNN8=~~~~~~~ .......,,,,,,,,.,MMMMMMNNDD87??I7?+=+++I??+?=????=:::::::~~~~?==?NNMMNNO:~~~~~~~ .....,,,,,,,,,,,,MMMMMMNNDD$D$???++=====+??II?+~~::::::::~==+?==?NMMMND?~~~~~~~~ ...,,,,,,,,,,,,,,DMMMMMMDD$NI$Z???+++=======~~::::,,,:::~~~??+~=INMMMNZ~~~~~~~~~ ...,,,,,,,,,,,,,,:MMMMMMNDN,?D~=7???++++===~~:::::,,:::~==???=~~8NMNNDM~~~~~~~~~ .,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,MMMMMMNDN,,::D,,=????++===~::::::::~===?I??=~~MNNMNDMMM~~~~~~~ .,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,MMMMMMNNN:,,,,,Z,:,+??+++==~~~~~~~=++?I?II?+~?NNNNNNMMMMD~~~~~ ...,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,?MMMMMMNN7,:,,,::~7OZ~?I????++++????IIIIII?=~8NNNNDMMMMMMMM+~~ .....,,,,,,,,,,,,,,MMMMMMNND,,:::,Z8O8I++??III77II77IIIII77I+~=NNNNN??NDMMMMMMMN .......,,,,,,,,,,,,MMMMMMNND,,,,:ZO8I~$7~++??II7777IIII777?=~~DDDNN8~~:DDN7~,,7O .......,,,,,,,,,,,,?MMMMMNNN,,,+7OOI,IO~~===+?II?++++++??+=~:~DZNNN7~+??::+I$7??

She had to endure a slew of pick-up lines before her match, and the match itself was a complete loss. Her opponent's nimble footwork and powerful kicks were more than impressive, but his tendency to come on to any woman he saw only angered Aoi. Even after the tournament ended, Aoi thought about her opponent often. There had never been any fighters like that in the previous tournaments, and he had made a strong impression on her. Aoi found herself training harder because she wanted to show him a thing or two. Now that the invitation to the Fifth World Fighting Tournament has arrived, Aoi can barely contain her desire to enter the tournament and see him again. - Stats - Nationality - Japanese Birthday - 3/14/1979 Hobby - Ikebana Height - 162 cm (5'3 1/2) Weight - 47 kg (104 lbs) Measurements - 83/53/86 Blood Type - A Occupation - Student Fighting Style - Aikijutsu Voice Actor - N/A First Game - Virtua Fighter 3 - Move Set - - Now it's time to learn how to use Aoi properly.

Personal Opinion - - Ok....here's basically my take on Aoi Umenokouji: Aoi is a character that can be a beginner's and an expert's dream. Aoi's combo game is something that can be easily learned and can cause anyone to cringe and rethink strategies. Being that said her combos string together long and what seems to be damaging. In reality though her combos aren't as strong as one would think. They seem damaging because of all the hits she can string together. So for beginnners, they can at least get vets to even back off for a moment and rethink strategies should they be able to land a few of these combos, simply because seeing a long combo like what she is capable of does tend to psychologically make a person say "What the hell already?" She has a few strong attacks as well that can be abused like crazy that beginners will love as well. Now as far as for experts, they will love the advanced repetoire that she has in her arsenal. She is a master at counter attacks and can use a very damaging and lethal mix up game from low to mid to highs back down to lows all over again. In the hands of an expert, this woman can make your life a living hell. With a devestating counter game accompanied by a strong mix up game will leave any veteran and expert pulling out all the stops and cursing your name without shame. The only downside to her is that she is relatively weak. Once a vet has seen her ins and outs and can tell what you are trying to use against them, especially if you're a beginner with her and using the same old set of moves over and over, then she'll be extremely vulnerable. People will learn when the openings on her combos can be exploited and since she can't take a hit as well either, then she'll be gone in no time flat. So when you start off as a beginner with her, try not to get comfortable with her basics and strive to move on to her advanced techniques. This is a character that can only be put to the greatest of use once you've mastered her move set and put some time to learning how to time her counter moves properly. It's not that she's a character that is designated specifically for pro, vet, and expert players... it's just that in order to realise her full potential, you have to learn a balance of pressure offense and counter defense with her to win matches flawlessly. No matter if you're picking up this game for the first time or you've spent countless hours playing it, you can feel comfortable playing with Aoi. *** Goh Hinogami *** ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~=========================================== ::~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~=+~~~~~~~~~~~========================================== ::~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~:::+=?~~~~~~~~~~=~~===~=~=====~===========================+ :::::::::~~~~~~~~~~~=~~~+=I=~I:~~~~~?=~~~~~==~~~~~============================== :::::::::::~~~~~~:~~=:~?~7$~=+I~=7+?~~~=~~~~=~~~~~~~============================ :::::::::::::~~~:~~:=~=$I$$$$7O+$$+=~~?~~+~==~=~~~=~============================ :::::::::::::::~~=~=~$I8$$?Z=$7Z777~~$$=I+=?~~~~~~=~============================ :::::::::::::::~=?~I7Z$$Z$IZ?ZO7I?$?ZZ$$$IZZ~=++~=~============================= ::::::::::::::~==Z7$7ZZ$Z?Z?7?I=I?7Z$$Z$$7Z$Z$77++~============================= ::::::::::::::I~$ZZ$$OZ$I?Z~77$~=I$$7$I77Z$O$Z$$7$+=+~========================== ::::::::::::::77OZZZZOZ$I+~I+7==?7$+ZI7?I$Z77ZIZZ$$77=~========================= :::::::::::::=O$ZO$ZOOO7?7~+==:?7==III++7Z+77$7Z$$ZZI~~~~~~~~~~~=~============== :::::::::::::78ZZOZZOZZ?II~?+~~I?~7II+=+$??I7I7+ZZZOO=~~~~~~~~~~~~============== :::::::::::::7OOZOZZOZO77II?+:+?=II7===$77???+$$ZZZZ$~=~~~~~~~~~~=============== ,:,,:::::::::$OOZOZO8ZZ7$?7I=?+?+=?I~+~I??+7=I7ZZ77Z$7I+~~~~~~~~~~============== ,,,,,:::::~+OOZ8ZOOZ8OZI$I$++II??=7+$=?:?=?7=$8$7777$Z$=?~~~~~~~=~============== ,,,,,:::::+ZZZOO$ZOZ88O7$?7??ZZ7?7I7$I++=?+=$$ZZ$77Z$Z$$?~~~~~~~================ ,,,,,,,:::?ZZZZOZO8O8DZ$$7ZI$88$$$8$$II?87?7ZZZ$I$I$I$Z$~~=~~~~~================ ,,,,,,~,::IZOZ$OOZ88888Z$8877DOOZD8DZ$ZZ7777Z7I+IIZ77OZ$?$~~~~~==~============== ,,,,,,,,:+IOOOOZO88D8DDOO8D7DN8DD8D88OO8OZZ?ZZ$I$Z$O7$OZZ~~~~~~~~=============== ,,,,,,,:,~IZOOOOO8D8DDD8ODD$DO8OOD88$ZZOOZ?$77$$$OZZIZZZZ7=~~~~~~~============== ,,,,,,,,:?77$OOOO8DDDDDDZDDO8ZD$Z8ZI7ZZZI+$I+?OO7$$O$ZZZOZ+=~~~~~~============== ,,,,,,,,,7$$Z7OZ8DDD8D$Z8$8O7ZZ?$ZII$ZZ?II~~+7$?7$OOZZZZZIZ~~~~~~~~~~~~~======== .,,,,,,.=I7ZOOZO8Z$O8O7?OO7Z7$$?$I?7OI?7?=?=~+77Z7$OOZZOZZI+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~====== ........,?$$$ZO8ZO$I+7$7?IIZ77?II??7?III?+===?7$ZZOOOOZZZO7=~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ .........+IO8Z7~I7$Z?++I?+II$I?I?????IIII?=~:+$7$ZZZ7ZOOOO$:~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ .......,.,?Z$$:I=,~=?I===++?7+I???++??I?I??=~=??7ZZ$OOZZZ8I~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ .........:.Z$O7,.~?======+++???+??+???????+7.,,.,?I$7OO$$$Z?:~:~:~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ .........,=?ZZ:,=::~~~===++=??+?+++????++?~=~.:.,,~=I$$$7=?..?$:~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ..........,IZ$7...,:~~===++++I+?++??????????I~~::,::=+I$$I,+~I++I~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ..........,,$ZZ+,.,,:~~===++++??+????I777$7I?7+~=::,,:=?I::?~.,~.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ............:$O=..,,,~~~===+++7++??II$$ZZ$$$7ZI?+:..,.,??::~=ZZI=,:~~~~~~~~~~~~~ .............=ZZ..,.:~~===++???I??I7$O8ZZOODDDDO=....,,,?,,~.+8OZ:,~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ..............+Z..,:~===++???I7?77$O888Z???7ZII?:,......~~.:~=7OZ+:::~~~~~~~~~~~ .............,.$,..,=+?I????I77IIZZ8O88OIIIIII?~:,.......~.,::+$I=:::~~~~~~~~~~~ ...............,?..~+I$ZZOZZZ=~+?I7ZO8OOZZ$$7I=~,,....~,.::::~+?=~:~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ................~..:8?++7OD$Z+,~=~+?II7$$777I?+=:,.=~..,.,::::7+:,~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ..............~,,..,8I+?I7ZZ7=:.,,:=+II?II???$I?=~::....,.:,::.,,::~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ..............,.....:+I7$$$?+~:.:,,:=I7$7I???III?+~~,,,.,.,,::,,:~::~~~~~~~~~~~~ ...............,?:...,=???++=:,.,..:~+I7??+++?III?+=~:,,,,,,:7I+?OZ7=:~~~~~~~~~~ ..............,~7=....:=+==~=+,.,,.,~=I7I??++?????++=~:::,,~~Z$8DO888OO$?~~~~~~~ ..............,,$Z....:===~~+?~.++=:,,:$7I???????+++=~~~:::~=~.D8888DD8888I~~~~~ ...............,:7....,~~~~=+?I.?77II??I7IIIIII??+====~~~~:~+=~DDDN8DD88DD?I:~:~ ................,.+:...,,,:=+II.,I$IOZ$IIIIIIII??++++=+===~=?=~I88DDD88D8?77I::~ ................,,.+......,~=?I====$I??+??IIIIII?++++==+++++?==,OZO88888I77$II~~ ..............,,,,..... ..,:=+~:~?$7+==++?I7777I??++++???+?I+=~:$$ZO8$$$7777I~~ ..............,,,,,.., ....,,~~,,:+I?++==+??I7$$I?+++++??++II++=~.NZ$7Z$$$7$II~~ .............,,,,,,,,,,....,,,,..:?7ZOZZOOOOO8$7I?+++??II++77?+++:,.$OZZ$$$$$$=~ ............,,,,,,,,,,,,....,,..+I7OO8O$?+???I77I?+??IIII+?77IIII+~ZZZZZ$Z$$O7+= ..............,,,,.,,,:O....,+~$Z~,+II?7$$7I?I777??IIIII?+?77II77IOZOZ$Z$Z$O7??+ ................,,:=,:M7~....~I+.,,I$ZOZOOZ$77$$$IIIII7I??I$$77$$ZZ$OZZO$Z87????

This was a former J6 training facility, where Goh had spent much of his youth. As he layed on the ruined tatami mats, sunlight filtered in from the holes in the ceiling to play across Goh's face. His orders had been to assassinate certain fighters taking part in the Fourth World Fighting Tournament, but he had failed completely. He had explained to his superiors that Dural's interruption of the final match had disrupted his plans as well as the tournament itself, but the organization had done little to hide its disappointment in him. He could not afford to fail again. The Fifth World Tournament is his last chance to redeem himself. - Stats - Nationality - Unknown Birthday - Unknown Hobby - Collecting Silver Accessories Height - 176 cm (5'9 1/4) Weight - 66 kg (145 lbs) Measurements - 105/79/85 Blood Type - AB Occupation - Assassin Fighting Style - Judo Voice Actor - N/A First Game - Virtua Fighter 4: Evolution - Move Set - - Now it's time to learn how to use Goh properly.

Personal Opinion - - Ok....here's basically my take on Goh Hinogami: I've actually sat down and tried using Goh.....I mean seriously, at first glance when you see Goh just by appearance and some of the demo movies that have him in it, you'd think that he's a total badass and want to immedieately play as him without a second thought. Well there's a very big problem with that....his fighting style! Goh has a very complex style. His move set is far different than any other character's to say the least. He has a few reliable combos that you can fall back on, but that's not saying much with him. You have to learn how to utilize his complex grapples and advance countering system. I would put Goh up in the Akira range of characters. Goh is yet another character that if you're a total beginner to the game, you have to stay away from him. Alot of hours will be spent in the Dojo trying to perfect his style on just the grappling alone. You have to set up an opponent in certain situations in order to start up his advanced techniques. Like I said before, he does have a few combos and strikes that you can fall back on, but if you try to rely solely on them, you're going to easily get dominated by players that are even in the mid-exprienced range. They don't have to be an expert with the characters they are using, they just have to know the game well enough to beat you if you use this. So be prepared to spend alot of time learning his countering as well. His most damaging potential is when he does get the opponent in close and starts holding control over them with his grabs and counters. You can easily destroy everyone you face simply because Goh offers alot of unblockable grapples and grapple combos. And once you get the timing down to utilize his countering game, you are quite possibly one of the most deadliest Virtua Fighter players around. No one can mount a true game plan against an opponent if you keep on breaking their's up and surprising them with a few tricks of your own. Goh has a very solid defensive game to say the least, so if you're a turtle fighter, then here's your character. If you can learn to time counters properly (even to the point that you just win matches solely on using counter grabs and counter grapple combos) and use some of the grapple combos and grapple moves along with some of his offensive combos and strikes as a mix up game, then no person in their right mind can truely say that they can begin an offense or even a defense against you. I'd be hard pressed to say that the few expert Goh players I've fought haven't pushed me to my limits. You will only find a challenge presented to you as an expert Goh fighter from experts only with other characters since only they would be able to maybe figure out a way to finally break your balance of offense/defense/counter mix. So to finally finish this off, spend your time in the dojo training with Goh to learn him inside and out, and don't get frustrated if can't get things down right on the first try. The saying holds very true with Goh and his style of fighting, patience is a virtue. *** Kage-Maru *** :::::::~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~=================================+ :::::::::::::~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~============================== ::::::::::::~::~~~:~~~~~~~~~~~~~:=?++=:=~~~=~~~~~~~~~~==~======================= :::::::::::::::::~:::~=+=+7$ZZZ$$7I++IZ$Z$7=~~~~==~~=~=========================+ ::::::::::::::::~:~7I77=7$888O8DDNN8O$77I$OZZI+=~~~~============================ :::::::::::::::::~II7II?78OOOOO888DDDNN8ZZO$ZOZ$$?+==~==~======================= ::::::::::::::~~=I=7I$?$88ZOZO8O8888888DN88O8OOZZ$ZI?7+========================= ::::::::::::::=++=+=I+I?OOZZ8OOOOOO8O888DNND888OOZZO7?I$7~====================== :::::::::::,?:++==+==?+7OZZ$$OOOOZZZO8888DNNDDDD88OOOZI7$Z7:==~~~=============== :::::::::::I::~~+::=+++OOO?7OOOZOZO8ZO888DDDNNDDD888OOZI$$O$~~~~~=============== ,,,::::::::I::~:::::::~777Z$OZZ$Z888OO88DDDDNNDDDDD888D$IZZZZ+=================+ ,,,,,,,,,:$:::~:::~=+:=IIZ$$ZZOO8O88888DDDDDDDNNZ+...8?I?77=.:+++~============== ,,,,,:,,:+I,::~::~~=?=7?=+ZO$8888OO88DDDD?:~~NN??:...$DZZ$O=+=~I~~~============= ,,,,,,,,,I::::=::~==?=ZI+=7788888N+....NNM?8$ZD7??++~78DDOO+++,:,=============== ,,,,,,,,,=::::~~:~:~~+I?I$?O77MN?~,,,,~?NMD7DNNN??++ZZZNI8O8+=.+=+:============= ,,,,,,,,,~:::,::~:~~~~$7NN7.~ZMM=+???+=IDNNI+I=D$?7ZOOIDN8OO=?.7=~============== ,,,,,,,,,,I:::~:::,Z$+8?MMN$D7DMN??+?8D:?NM8+88DM$ZOO8DMNNNNDONN=~============== ,,,,,,,,,,?~~:,~$ODD8N888MMMNDZMM7?$D8D8IDNNDNNMMMMMNNDD8DNDD8Z~~~============== ,,,,,,,,,,,=$O8N8D88ODNDZMMNZZION88D8D8NMNMMNDNNMN88DDDOO88D88O=~~============== ...,,,,,,.?+O$OZO8M88DDD8DMM87$$MMMMMNOZZ$7$8DDDMN888D8OO88888OO~=~~~~=~======== ......,,OZDN?IO8O8NMMMD8IOMMMMMMND8OZ$77IIII8888DN88O888OO8D8O8O~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ .......Z?I+Z$$I88O8NND8DMMM888D8OZZ$$777777I8OOOOND8OO88OOOD88D8:~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ .....,$,+?=II$+II$INNMD$Z$Z8DDOZO8DNMO$$$77IOOOOODDDOOO8OOO88DD8Z?==~~~~~~~~~~~= .....,.,+?IODN7?NNDIII$$$78D888D$+~7Z$7I7I?IOOZZZODD8O88OOO8DD88$ZO~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ........8:~O8NNO7ZZ77I?7OZO88DDN8ZOOOZ$7I??NOZZZ$Z8D8OOO8OO8DDD8ZZZO~~~~~~~~~~~~ .......:I$8NMMM,~?7II?+?+77$ZOOOOOOOZZ$7II8NZ$Z$$$ZD88OO8OO8DDD8OZO:~~~~~~~~~~~~ ............~?I+?7+ND7O=~I?I777$$$$$$$7$$DDO$$$$$$ZN88O8OOOODDD8OZ+~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ................=,::I$$I8DDDNNN8$$$Z8DDD8888Z$$$$$ZD88O8O8ZO8ND8O8?~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ..............,.,.,?II+I88888DDDDDDDDDDDD888OZ$$$$$8D8OOOOOO8NDD8O88~~:~~~~~~~~~ ...............,,..:~~,ZOOOOO8888DDDDDDD88O8O$$Z$ZOODD8OOOOODNND88ODDN:~~~~~~~~~ .................=.,,..$OOOOOO8888888DD88OOO8OZZZZZ8ND8OOOOONMD8O888D8~~~~~~~~~~ .................:..,.,OZOOOOOOOO8O88O88888O887$ZOZOND88OOOOND8888O88O~~~~~~~~~~ .................,....:=7OOOO888888O88DD8888O8OZZZZODN88O8888DD88DDD88~~~~~~~~~~ ..................:.,,=+?$8O8888888888888888O8DOZZZOND8888DDDDDDDNNDDD8N~~~~=~8Z ...................~~~++?IZ888O88888OO8888888O88OZOONDDDDDNNDNDDNNDN8OOOOOOOOO8D .................,.,+=+++=+ZO8888888888O8O8O8O887OO8NNDNDNDDNDNND88888888888OOO8 .................,,,:++==~:=78O8888888OO8OOOOOO8D88NNNNDNDNNDDDD88D88888OO8OOOO: ....................,,+=?+?7I7888888OO888OOOO8O88DNNMDNNDDDDDDDD888888888OOOOOOO .....................,,+~:==:=$OOOOO88888OOOO888DMMDNNNNDDDDDDDD8888888888888OOO ....................,,,:=++~:~ZOOOO888888OZ8O88DNMNNNNNNN8DDDD8888888888DDDD88OD .................,,,,,,,I?++=++ZOOO888O8888O8DDNNNMMMMM88DDD888888888DD88888888O .................,,,,,,,,7=~~~?=I$ZOOOO88888DNNMMMMMMNDDDDD8D8888DDDDDDDD88OOOOO ................,,,,,,,,,I+=++:::7OOOOO8888DNNMMMMMNDDDDDDDD8DDDDDDDDD8O88888888 .................,,,,,,,:$O7?=:,.$ZOOO88DDMNMMMMMM88DDDD8D8DDDDNDDDDD888888888OO ....................,,,,~ONNII+=+?$OO8DNMMMMMMMMN8DDDD8D8D8DDNDDDDD888888O888OOZ ....................,,,,:?ODDO$$8OOODNNMNMMMMMN88DDD8DDDDDDNDDDDDD88OOOO8DDOZZZZ ......................,,,=ZDDDDZO$ODDNNNMMNNN8O8DDDDDDDDDNDDDDDD88O88OOD8OZZZ$Z$ ......................,,,,I+$DZ$DNNMNMMNDDD8O88DDDDDDDDDNDDDDD88OOOOOOOOZZZOOOO8 ......................,,,,+OZ$$O$7OOO8DDDD7Z8888DDDDDNNDDDD88OOZOZZ$ZZ$$ZO888OOO .......................,:MMNZO8D8888DDNDZ$ZO88888DDDNN8D888OZZZZ$$777$$OO888OOO$ .......................DNMM?+I$ZO88D8DD?Z8O88888DDNN8O88OOOO8O$7II7I$ZOO88OO$Z7$ ....................,DMMMMM?877I?7Z$$?7ZO88888DDDN8ZOOOZ8D8D87I?II7ZOOOOZ$Z7$$$$ ...................$MMMMMMM~~~~?77IO+$OO8O8888DNNZ$ZZOODD8DO7?I??$OOZO$$7$$ZO$O$ ................,,MMMMMMMNND???+Z$+IZOO8O888DDNO$7ZZO8DD8DO7II??7ZZZ$$$$OZOOOOZZ ..............,.NMMMMMMNNDND$~~=+~7OOOOO88DDD8777OZODDN8DO7II?+IZZZ$$OZ8OO8OOZOZ .............,ONMMMMMMNDDDN:,===~$OO8OO88DDD$7$ZO$D8N8DDO$7I++?$ZZ$$ZO8O8ZOOOOZ8 - Backstory - - Kage-Maru had entered the fourth tournament to save the soul of his mother, Tsukikage, who had been transformed into Dural by J6. He made it to the final round, but the finals were interrupted by the sudden intrusion of Dural. Kage-Maru tried to reach whatever was left of Tsukikage, but realized that it was too late. He destroyed Tsukikage and Dural with his own hands. Afterwards, however, he realized that the destroyed Dural he held in his arms was not Tsukikage, but one of the production model Durals. After further investigation, Kage-Maru found that J6 continued the Dural Project with a new model with Vanessa's abilities. Kage-Maru decides to enter the fifth tournament - to stop J6, and to save Tsukikage. - Stats - Nationality - Japanese Birthday - 06/06/1970 Hobby - Mah-Jong Height - 178 cm (5'10) Weight - 66 kg (145 lbs) Measurements - 101/89/90 Blood Type - B Occupation - Ninja Fighting Style - Hagakure-ryu Ju-Jutsu Voice Actor - N/A First Game - Virtua Fighter - Move Set - - Now it's time to learn how to use Kage properly.

Ok....here's basically my take on Kage-Maru: Kage-Maru is kinda funny in terms of character difficulty and such. Normally a ninja character is one of the most frustrating, confusing, and extremely difficult characters in the roster to learn and master their moves with. But that's not necessarily the case with Kage-Maru. I don't know if it's because he's one of the characters that has ended up in the finals often enough in previous games, or if he's the one that's suppose to be the main character of the game despite the fact they keep giving Akira that appearance. Whatever the case may be, Kage-Maru is a character that anyone no matter what their skill level is, can pick up Kage and find a comfort zone with him. Beginner players will love the fact that he has some simple and extremely reliable combos and strike moves that will give you a sense of satisfaction and means of getting use to the game. Expert players will love Kage's advance repetoire of moves that, just like any other ninja character, range from tricky to deadly. It's hard to find a reason not to like him. As a beginner, I'd recommend that you use Kage-Maru to try and learn the game with. Kage is a character that offers you the opportunity to learn and easily progress into expert techniques without too much stress and worry. Kage's move set allows a beginner to move up at a nice and even pace, learning advanced to expert move sets with just a little difficulty. The only problem with Kage would be that if you are a beginner and get over confident with him thinking that you would be able to immdieately take on his expert moves without learning the basics. It is very easy to think you're greater than everyone else with Kage's moves, plus the fact that he's a ninja as well probably has something to do with it too. Just remember to hold back your overconfidence and make sure to learn the basics properly and progress at a normal pace. Just alittle but of time in the dojo is all that is needed with Kage as well. Kage offers up a nice balance of speed and damage. Kage isn't exactly a defensive kinda character. He has the means of being a counter character, just not to the extent of Goh. Kage can counter with strikes and combos which does make him dangerous if you have put in the time to learn his counters properly. Kage can have an answer for anyone and anything that you throw at him, just so long as you're not trying to rely on him being a tank that can easily take damage like it's nothing. An expert Kage player can become a huge annoyance to anyone. If you push pressure on your opponent with Kage and take a few breathers to either let them offer up a chance for a counter or to allow the opponent to give up an opening to push more pressure onto them and finish them off. One big thing that Kage has going for him is arsenal of launchers. Kage is by far one of the easiest characters that can throw people over walls no matter the height. As said before....Kage has an answer for everything. You can become a true nightmare with punishing combos and strikes, or you can become the cheesiest guy around.....either way, Kage can offer up a ton of victories in your books if you use him to your advantage. *** Sarah Bryant *** :::~:~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~======================================= ::::::~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~:=~======================================= :::::::::~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~,:=~=I~:.~~~~~=~~~~~~=~========================= :::::::::::::~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~,~+++I$$?+~:.:~~~~~~~~~~~========================= ::::::::::::~::~::~~~~~~~~~~~,++IIIZZ$$I++~,.:~~~~~~~~==~======================= ::::::::::::::::::~~~~~~~~~~~=7I?7?$Z$$7I??+~:.~~~~~~~========================== ::::::::::::::::::::::~~~~~~~?II+??7$ZZZ7I??I+~,=~~~============================ :::::::::::::::::::::~~:,:::~::~::==+==$Z$7?+=+~,,~~============================ ::::::::::::::::::::,,~=~+?::+===?7==:=+=~~7II~==::=~=========================== ::::::::::::::::::~:~?+=+$~II++??+=+=++$++=~==7I=+:.~~~~~=~~~=================== ::::::::::::::~:~~~~???II=~~==+??I7~++7++???~~:II+=:=~~~~~~~~=================== :::::::::::::,=7~~~??I7I+=I++++=?+~~+I=++I+?++~::,==,=~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~=========== ::::::::::::,=7?+~....,,,.,,~?=?===+I==~=7II?++==~:~+:~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~=========== ,,,,,:,,:::~~+,::,.........,,::::+??+7+II?=++=====~~:~,~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~========== ,,,,,,,:::,~:~,,,,..,,,,,,,::::,:~~II77I???????III++?+=:~~~~~~~~~~~~~~========== ,,,,,,,,:,,::,+=+~::,,,,,,,,:~,,:~:==III7?+?77?+????+?++:~~~~~~~~~~~============ ,,,,,,,:,=::=I?+$$7I+=::::,,:,,,?:,:::~?I777??II++I$I+=7+:~~~~~~~~~~============ ,,,,,,,,~?:+7$ZZ$7$7?+?Z?7~::~::::,+=:::~??I7+7??????=I?=+~~~~~~~~~============= ,,,,,,,,:~+IZZZZZZZ$?7II?+7??:,~:,,~,==~~:+?I$??7+7$+=+7=++~~~~~~~~============= ,,,,,,.,,:+ZZZ$$ZZZZ$ZZ7??I+??+?:~~:~,~=~~:~I?$7?????+?+?I++~~~~~~~~~=========== ,,,,,,,,:+?$$7$ZZ77$$77$7$7??=+I=?::=~~::?::~?I77III?77I?7I?+~~~~~~=~=========== ..,.,,:~?+=?7$7Z77I$7+IZ$77I?7+=~I+?~=~~~=:~~:?I?II???+~777I??+=~~~~~~========== ....,,:=??I7I=+I7I$II?II?I77??~7=+=I?===~?:=~::+I?+I77I~:$II7??=~~~~~~~~~~~=~=== ......:$+?I7+~==+=?I??II?+=~?7??=I=+=?+:~~++::::?$7$I?+~~I7??I??+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ......+II$?~==~~~~==??+?II++=~+I?===+=I+:~~$:=:::+$77+=~,?$$II7I?::~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ......7+?$:~~~~~:~~:==~=+=+?++=~=+?:===:==:~7I=~:,IZ+::::~7IZ7I??I~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ......I+?I~~~:::::::~:==~:=~=+==:=+7+~==:~::~??::,:I:~~:::?7I$77I?+~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ......I+??:::::::::::::~~=::~:~?$?~:~+:~+::~::=?~,~,:~~~:=:I7$77$I+?::~~~~~~~~~~ ......?+++::::::::::::::::~~~+IZ?+I$7=~=:+:?::+=+=,:,:~+~::77$7$$?7+?~~~~~~~~~~~ ......,+=~+,::::,::::::::::=7III$88O8$Z~+:+:?=:=+==,,,=~=::$$77$$Z7II?~~~~~~~~~~ .......+=~+:::,::,::::::~~=++?IN7Z$D$8Z?~:,?~+:~=?==:,:==::IZ77$I$?II7=:~~~~~~~~ .......~~::~7IOZZ$I==:~:::~~=?$O$7$I?==~~~:,=:=,==7~~,,~:,~I$$7II$7I$?7+::~~:~~~ .......:~~++~=~?+???+=~~~::~==++II++=~~::::=====:==7::,,,,?77?77?+$??$$I?::~~~~~ .......::~~:????ZON$OO?+~~:~~~====~~~:::,,,::=:=:~=?I::.,,~77777II77?$77I~~~~~~~ .......,::~=?8N+.?$7$II?=~:~~~~~:~:::::,,,,::~=~=:==7+,.,?~77+7Z$I77+IZIII~::~~~ ........,,,:=++I?7I?I??++~::~~~~~:::::,,,,,::~==~:~~7?=~~?=7II?I$?7Z???ZII==:~~~ ..........,,:+?:==++++==+~::~~~~::::::,,,::::~~+~~~=+7=~:=+~77I+?$I$I?7I$II+=:~~ ..........,.,=++~~~====++=~~~~~~~~:::,,:::::::~~==~:~$?:=:+~I7I?=77$$?7?IZI??+:~ ............,~~=:~~~===++=~::,,,,::::::::::::::~=~~::+7~:===~?$?I7$III=7+?$7?I~~ .............,~:~:~~~===+~:,:+?~~::::::::::::::~=~~,,~7+:~=7~Z7$I7Z$I7+???IZ7I??

But while she was able to push Jacky to the edge, she was unable to defeat him. In addition, Sarah was faced with the sudden disappearance of Vanessa, who had been protecting her. Then one day, Sarah heard that Jacky had resumed his training in order to destroy J6 itself. Sarah decided that if she could destroy J6 first, she could both surpass her brother and prevent anyone else from becoming a victim of the evil organization. But Sarah knew too little of the power of J6. Her efforts to infiltrate J6 play neatly into their hands, and danger threatens her once again... - Stats - Nationality - American Birthday - 7/04/1973 Hobby - Sky Diving Height - 173 cm (5'8) Weight - 55 kg Measurements - 90/57/90 Blood Type - AB Occupation - College Student Fighting Style - Martial Arts Voice Actor - N/A First Game - Virtua Fighter - Move Set - - Now it's time to learn how to use Sarah properly.

Personal Opinion - - Ok....here's basically my take on Sarah: Well first off other than being a blonde bombshell, Sarah's got a fighting style that any beginner can easily take to. I'm really surprised at how simplistic her style is, while still being strong and damaging. I find that hard to believe that she hasn't placed high in the previous game tournaments, let alone be able to beat her brother. Her fighting style does remind me alot of Hwoarang's from the Tekken series. Some Tekken players that use him like crazy will find a somewhat familiar ground with Sarah. Her combos are simplistic and with little practice, easily learned. She is a huge combo fighter, so you have to learn head on to use her combos in order to win matches. She does have a few big strikes that can be used to knock around opponents, but don't become reliant on them. A good majority of her big strikes are somewhat telegraphed and easily seen ahead of time by alot of the veterans and experts in the game. So take your time learning her mix up game properly to keep launching offensives against your opponents. I find that using Sarah as an offensive pressure character is the best way to go. Sarah is strictly a "basics" character you could say. She doesn't have a huge glaring fighting game that distinguishes her, nor does she have any kind of "speciality" to her name either. As I said before, stick to offense with only defense in the case that someone starts putting too much pressure for you to handle. She has another stance that she can go into to expand upon and mix up with her combo game. That's her big ticket to winning matches. The biggest downside to Sarah I'd say is that because she doesn't have any big offensive skills or defensive skills like others, that makes you have to resort to using Sarah in a manner that is relatively "basic". This is to say that it just doesn't seem glamourous or worthwhile that you may lose faith in the fact that Sarah can dish out quite a bit of pain. That also means once a person becomes a veteran or a pro at this game, then they'll easily be able to recognize Sarah's style without hassle and develop a much simple and easy gameplan to destroying even a pro with Sarah. She falls victim easy enough to people that use an effective counter game due to her offensive nature, and also to other people that are able to put up an even more devestating offensive game than her, causing her to shrink back into a very limited defensive game of hers. Sarah though is a truely acceptable character to use as a beginner and learn the ropes of this game in no time with relative ease and comfort. For a person to become an expert with Sarah would require alot of patience and time to say the least. You have to learn how to keep an offensive game going at all times regardless of who it is and what they bring to the table to fight you with. All in all though...Sarah is a great character to hit things off with and learn the ropes with. A dedicated Sarah fan will become an expert with her in no time and figure out ways around other characters' fighting styles. It's not impossible to be able to use Sarah in a manner to see through the cracks of another's fighting style and break it wide open if you know what you're doing with her. Besides she's so damn gorgeous that at least you'll have something pretty to look at while getting your ass kicked or doing the ass kicking! *** Jacky Bryant ***

He was goaded into entering the Fourth World Fighting Tournament, but then had to deal with the disappearance of Vanessa, who had been guarding his sister. Even in his races, the continuing series of incidents, including sudden pull-outs by his sponsors and improbable mechanical breakdowns, seemed to indicate someone tampering with his racing career. J6 was behind everything and unless the organization itself was destroyed, there would be no end to Jacky and Sarah's troubles. with this new realization, Jacky was determined to put an end to J6.

Personal Opinion - - Ok....here's basically my take on Jacky: Jacky is by far one of the most popular and well used characters in the entire Virtua Fighter cast. I find him annoying to be honest, but eh. Jacky has a fighting style that beginners can appreciate but his true and best potential is seen from an advanced player. Jacky relies mainly on strike attacks and short chain combos. Jacky has a great defensive/counter game as well. With a blistering offense when used properly and a hell of a defensive game, Jacky can destroy and easily decimate any opponent. I would go so far to say that with Jacky you can easily cheese your way through matches and win with ease. A drawback with Jacky though is the fact that even though you can get alot with just simple strikes and 2 to 3 hit combos, they're at times easily blocked and deflected, leaving Jacky open to a severe butt whupping. You have to mix up your offensive strategy to keep your opponents guessing so that way you can fully appreciate Jacky's arsenal. Try not to use too many strike attacks only simply because if blocked or deflected properly, it'll leave Jacky open for a second or two, giving your opponent the opportunity to launch an offensive on you. Should this happen, then make sure to learn how to put up a defensive game with Jacky, or to make use of the few counters that he has. In just a few simple moves, you can easily turn the momentum back around and start back up on your opponent. Jacky is easily a striker character, but you have to learn to maintain a slight defensive with him in order to not get too carried away. As a beginner, you could try Jacky out and find some comfort in him, but if you put some time and effort into fully learning all there is about Jacky, then you'll become a severely deadly force to be reckoned with. A great Jacky fighter can dominate in matches with relative ease and even getting perfects over people. His style doesn't take as long as one would think to learn and get down properly, unlike Akira. The only thing is is that Jacky can't just be learned immedieately and start kicking butt all over the place. Just make sure to learn to mix things up with a low to mid to high game, and you'll be set to prove your greatness against all challengers! *** Brad Burns *** ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~=~~~~~~~~~~~~~===================================++ ::~~~~~~~~~~~~~~==+~~~~==~?7I~?++=~~~~=~~~~===================================++ ::~~:~~~~~~~~~~?=$?==$~IZDDDNDNNNDDDOI+~==~~~=================================++ :::::~~~~~~~~:+I+8$?O$ZDNDDDNNNNDNNDNND8Z+=~~~=================================+ ::::::::~~~:=+$$I888D8DDDNDNDN8NNNDNNNNND8O?$===+=============================== :::::::::~:~Z$8O8888DODD8D888O8NNNDNNDDNNNDNDO8$7~~============================= ::::::::::$=O$8DDO8OOOD8Z8Z8ZOO88Z8D88DDNDNDNNDDND8OZ$7?I?====================== :::::::::=$88OOD8OZOZOD8Z8Z87ZODOZN8OOD88DDMNNNNDDNNNNN8$+====================== :::::::::?O8OOOD8O8O8ODD888D7888OOD8ZO8OO888DDDDDDNNNNNDO$+===================== ::::::::=Z8OOOODDD8DD8DNDDDNODNO$D8O88DZZOOZD8DDNNDNNNNNND$?==================== :::::::=IZOOO8O8NDDDNDNNDNDN8DDNNNDO8DZO8O$8DO888DDNNNNNNNND$+================== ::::::::O88OO88DDNNNNNNNNNNDDNDDNNND8OZOOOOOO88Z88NNDNNDDDDDDDZI+============+++ :::::::7OD8DOOD8NNNNNNNNNNNDDNNDD8DDDOOOOZ8888OD8DDDDDDNNDDD88I+Z==========+==== ::::::~OD888DDDNDNNNNMNNNNNNDNDD8O88888OZZ$88D8O8D8DDDDDDDDNDD8ZI============+== ::::::~O888DDDNDNDNNNNNNNNDD8OOOI777$7I++?$8DD88888DDD88D8DDDNNDN$++============ ::::::+8DDD8DDNDNNNDNNNDNDZ$7?++=~~~:::,::=$DD8D88D8DD88DDDDDDNDDOZOOI+========= :::::=?DDNDNDDD8DD88OOZ7I?=======~~::,,,,,:+$ODDDDD88888DDDDDDDDDDD8$+========== ,,,:,:O88NND$7???++++?===~~~=======~::,,,,~?$O8DNDD8888DDNNNNNNNDN8O8+++======== ,,,,:+?DND$?+===~~~======~~~========:::,,:~+IZO88DD88DD88DDDDDDNDNDZ$7++======== ,,,,,:78DN=======~~==~=~~~~=~=====~~~::,,,:=7OO8DNDDDDDDDD8DNNNDDDD8I7?========= ,,,,,,IDDM=======~~=~~~~~~~~~~====~~~::,,,:=IZ88DDDDDDD888DDDDNNDDDDZI+========= ,,,,,,~8NM=======~~~~==~~~~~=======~:::,,,,==7O88DDDNND8D8DDDDDNNND8O$=+======== ,,,,,,,$8N=====~=~~=====~~~~~~~~~~:::,,,,,,,:=7ZO8NNDNDDDDNNDNDNNNNDD8O$7II?==== ,,,,,,,~88====~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~::::,,,,,,,,,,,,I888DDNDD8DDDNDNNNNNND8Z7I?7+=== ,,,,,,,.8D===~~~~~:~~~~~~::~~~=====+?7$7?+,,,,,.,=O8NNDDDD88DNNNNNNNNNNDOO$=~~~= ,,,,,,,.=D+=~~~~~::::~~~~====+??7$888O$+++=~:,,,,,=ZDNDD8OOD?+ZNNNNNNNDN8+=~~=~= ,,,,,,,,,Z~====~~~~:~==+??II7$Z8OOZ$7I?==~=++=~,,,,~ODND?,~==?II$NNNNDNO7~=~~~~~ .,,,,,,,:=++??++++???+??I$OOO8Z$ZZZO888O7?+=+?=:,:,:IO8$:~+=I+~,7ONNND8$?~~~~~~~ ,,,,,,,,,,8D88OZZZOZ7I??7$O$$$Z8Z~=ODOZ:I877?=:,,,,,=7O$:=?=::~:,=MNDDZ?+?+=~~~~ ...,,,,,,,+77$ZZZ$$$Z+==?I7$ZO8D8I~.??+?I+:,,,,,,,,,,+OZ:~++7I=:,~+NDDOOO7=~~~~~ ....,,,,,,=$ZODDDZ88O~::~+II$OOZ$7$77$7I?+:,,,,,,,,,,=$$~:~IIZ$7=::NNDO8+~~~~~~~ .....,,,,,:OO=:8ODI$8~~:~~=+??????????+=::,,,,,,,,,,,:$$::~~I7$7+::NNN8+:~~~~~~~ ...,,,,,,,.=77?I$ZZ7?~~:~~~~~=+++++++==~::,,,::::::,,:7$~:~~=$7?+~=ND8I~~~~~~~~~ ...,,,,,,,,:?77II??+=~~~~~~=~===+++++++=~~:::::::::::~I7~:~:7?==++DNDO~~~~~~~~~~ ....,,,,,,,:=+++???+=~::~~~=======++???????++++==~:::?7I~:~$7===~8NDD~~~~~~~~~~~ ......,...,~==++???+=~:::~~~======++?II?III???++==~~?Z7I:::$?:::,ND8?~~~~~~~~~~~ .....,...,,~==+++?++~~:,,::::~+===+++?I???IIII??+=~I$Z?=:::,,::~NDDO~~~~~~~~~~~~ .........,,:=++++++===~:,::~===++++++???????III?+=I$7~::~=~~~==?N88O+~~~~~~~~~~~ .....,..,,,,++???++~+I????I$7I?+=+++++??I????+++=77~:::~?77IIIZNND8$+~~~~~~~~~~~ ......,,,,,,,++++++++?77IZ$Z7?====++++??II???+==I?::::~~?77$ONMNNDDI+~~~~~~~~~~~ .....,,,,,,,,,+++==++??I$$77I+=====++?+?I????+++~~:::::+??+ONNNNNDDI+=~~~~~~~~~~ .....,,,,,,,,,=++++==+?I777II???+??????+++++++=~~::::::+??:8NNNNNNDO~~~~~~~~~~~~ .......,,,,,,,,=?+=++??II??++=====+?77II==~~=~~~::::::~+??:DNNNNNDDZ$=~~~~~~~~~~ ........,,,,,,,====+?+?$ZZZZZZZZ$$ZO8ZI??==~~~~:::::~:=??+,NDNNNNND8$I~~~~~~~~~~ .........,,,,,..===?=7$ZZOOOOO8O$I??I???I++=========~~+?+~,Z8NNNDODOZ:=?~~~~~~~~ ....,,,,,,,,,,,,:=???$8IIIII?+=+??III???I?+++++++?I+=+??=::=DD8N$=$D?I~~~~~~~~~~ ....,,,,,,,,,,,,,~+I$+++?7$$$$$$$III????I???????7$?????+~::,OO7N8ZI$?=~:~~~~~~~~ ....,,,,,,,,,,,,,:=+++I$ZO8DD8O$IIII??+?II???II$7III??+=::::+7+88?I7?~=~~~~~~~~~ ...,,,,,,,,,,,,,,:=+++?7$OO88Z7I????????I??II$Z$I77III?+~:::=$=II?I7=~~~~~~~~~~~ ...,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,~=++?I77$O8$7I???????+??I$ZZ$777$77I?+=~::=7+I?I777~~~~~~~~~~~ ....,,,,,,,,,,,,,,IO=+?III7Z8$7I????????77ZOO$$$$$$$77I?=~===+I+I777I~~~~~~~~~~~ ........,,,,,,,,,:O7:+???I$O8O$I?IIII777ZOOO$$$$$$$$$7I?+=+?++=?I7777$:~~~~~~~~~ ........,,,,,,,,:I?~,?++?7ZDD8OOZ$$$ZOOO88O$ZZZZ$Z$$$II?++??7+II777777I~~~~~~~~~ ........,.,,,,,,=~::$D8?7ZO8DNDDD88O88888ZZZZZZZZZZ$7II?II?I~I777777777+~~~~~~~~ .........,,.,,,,,,~8DNNNO88DDD8DDD88DD8OOZZZZZZZZZZ$7II77I+~?I7777IIIII7?~~~~~~~ ...........,.,.,,+DDNNNNDOO8DDDDDD8ZZZZZZZZZZOOOOZ$7III77I=?I77777I????I77I7~~~~ ..........,,,,.,ODDNNNNNN?II??III77$$$$ZZZZOOOOOZ$$7II$$?=II777777I?++=+II??I+~~ ............,.OO8DDNNNNNNZ7I?I++?II7$$$$ZZZOOOOZ$$$I7$$==I7777$777II?++++II??II?

But after the tournament ended, Brad's life suddenly felt empty. There were still no opponents who could challenge him in the kickboxing ring, and none of the women he had met at the tournament were returning his calls. Then one day, Brad received an invitation to the Fifth World Fighting Tournament. The invitation also included the name of a female fighter that Brad didn't recognize. "Hmmm... Looks like I'll have to go meet her." - Stats - Nationality - Italian Birthday - N/A Hobby - Thrill Seeking Height - 178 cm (5'10) Weight - 68 kg (149 lbs) Measurements - 105/78/88 Blood Type - B Occupation - Kickboxer Fighting Style - Muay Thai Voice Actor - N/A First Game - Virtua Fighter 4: Evolution - Move Set - - Now it's time to learn how to use Brad properly.

Personal Opinion - - Ok....here's basically my take on Brad: Welcome to the Brad Show! I'm serious....that is one of the greatest lines I've ever heard in video game history. Of course it does scream out loud that he is a date rapist....but a date rapist that can kick anyone's ass easily enough! But that's beside the point. Brad is a great character that beginner's can use and learn the game with. Brad offers up a huge arsenal that gives him a big offensive game. Brad can counter but that's not what his game is all about. Just remember that you have some select counters to use with him should you be placed on the defensive with him. You have to keep a strong offense going with him if you want to get anywhere. Brad's all about pressure and evasion. He has a great mix up game that you can use to your advantage, plus a great array of combos that range from the annoyingly small and life pecking to the devistatingly strong and life threatening. When it comes to defense, he has a few good moves to break up opponents' offenses and keep them guessing. He also delves deep into the evasion game that you don't see much from people in this game. If you use his dodging and evasive manuevers to your advantage, you'd be surprised how easily what would seem to be a defensive skills set turns into an offensive helper. But as I said before, Brad's biggest strength is his mix-up game with strong combo ability. Another huge plus about him is that he can keep space between him and his opponents with long reaching kicks and punches. You don't have to keep opponents close to you to damage them in the least, causing your opponents to get frustrated and try to figure out how to land a blow on you. Should an opponent finally break your long range game and get close, his knee strikes/combos can cause even more stress and heartache for the poor sucker. Either way a beginner all the way to an expert can find some greatness and comfort using Brad. Plus that, a womanizing kickboxer...what's not to love? *** Shun Di *** ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~====~~~~=====================+===+++++++++++++++

abducted by J6. Hoping that he would find useful information by fighting his way through the competition, Shun fought with uncharacteristic energy, and made it to the final round. But he was unable to find anything, and the tournament ended with Dural's intrusion into the final round. Shun returned to his quiet life of retirement, and when he was almost ready to give up, an invitation arrived for the Fifth World Fighting Tournament, and the sender's name was that of his missing student. Shun enters the fifth tournament, determined to discover the truth behind his student's mysterious disappearance. - Stats - Nationality - Chinese Birthday - 01/02/1912 Hobby - Drinking Height - 164 cm (5'4 1/2) Weight - 63 kg (138 lbs) Measurements - 88/86/89 Blood Type - O Occupation - Herbal Doctor Fighting Style - Drunken Kung-Fu Voice Actor - N/A First Game - Virtua Fighter 2 - Move Set - - Now it's time to learn how to use Shun properly.

Personal Opinion - - Ok....here's basically my take on Shun-Di: He is nothing more than an old borracho....but he still kicks the living hell right out of you like it's not even funny! Shun-Di...even though he doesn't look it...is possibly one of the strongest characters in the game. His strength and best techniques come from getting drunk! The more you pack down the stronger he becomes. He has a great set of moves that can devastate any one that he comes across. They're simple button combinations as well. It could be said that he is a beginner's character, but oh no....you'd be wrong! Despite having a ton of great things going for him, his moves themselves are something that take a little while to get use to. He does move all over the place when attacking, and knowing what to use and when to use it with him is something that takes awhile to figure out. He has a ton of evasive and low attacking moves and combos that can easily decimate any offense and even defense that anyone can put up against you. But as I said before, you have to learn how they work properly and when to use them. He has this habit of leaving himself wide open should he miss or be blocked. Any expert at the game can destroy a Shun player by exploiting this weakness, especially if you're not an expert Shun player yourself. So take some time to fight in the dojo and learn a thing or two on using some of Shun's combos and strikes, and learning where they should apply and how they can be used in other ways, not just for offense. Also learn how to pack away the drinks as quick as you can so you can get your strength up and new move sets to use. In this sense you also need to learn how many drinks you need to put down before you get to use those moves and such. But it's not like Shun is like Akira, and so just alittle time in the dojo is needed, while the rest is just basically live and learn. So for the most part Shun is great for anyone who has put a little time into the game and wishes to use a tricky and flamboyant character with great moves and combos, plus a drinking habit. And besides that....if you change Shun's clothes set in certain ways, you can make him look like Tommy Chong! And what's better than kicking someone's butt in such a way with an old man that no one thinks should be as great as he is? Why kicking someone's butt in such a way that the old man looks like one of the greatest stoners in history! After it's all said and done, you can look at your opponent and say "Yo man....you...you really suck man...." in your best Chong impression. *** Lau Chan ***

the Fourth World Fighting Tournament, but he found a worthy successor to his Ko'en-Ken style - Lei-Fei. Lei-Fei thristed for strength, and was obedient to his new master. As they trained, however, Lei Fei suddenly turned on him, and the weakened Lau survived only because of Pai's sudden appearance. Lau realized that the bond between father and daughter was there, in spite of everything. But death was fast approaching, there was nothing that he could do for his daughter. True to the way he had lived his life, he disappeared. One day, an invitation to the fifth tournament arrived at what he had thought was a secret hideaway. He is now ready to face the last fight of his life. - Stats - Nationality - Chinese Birthday - 10/02/1940 Hobby - Chinese Poetry Height - 172 cm (5'7 3/4) Weight - 77 kg (169 lbs) Measurements - 99/90/93 Blood Type - B Occupation - Cook Fighting Style - Koen-Ken Voice Actor - N/A First Game - Virtua Fighter - Move Set - - Now it's time to learn how to use Lau properly.

Personal Opinion - - Ok....here's basically my take on Lau Chan: Seriously.....if you have never played this game before or any in the series, then dammit man, this is the guy that you have to play as! There's nothing that he can't do! He's a complete beginner's dream and an expert's godsend. Lau can destroy you flat out in like 2 well placed combos along with one or two big strikes to end a round. He makes quick work of opponents with lightning fast strikes and quick long hitting combos to say the least. He has a real simple and quick learning curve which beginners will love, and his advanced tactics are easy and a blessing, turning people into experts in no time flat. His strength is flawlessly big, and his speed just doesn't seem natural for a character of stature. He seems to have an answer for any situation no matter what it is. If you use a big pressure offense game, then he can use it with the blistering combos. If your thing is countering people into annoyance, then he has the means of putting up a defense and counter striking the hell out of your opponents til they cry about your cheesiness. He can be used to turtle fight, he can be used to pressure offense, hell he can even be used to just stand there and look friggin cool with! There isn't much that you can say about him that's bad. If you learn how to use his arsenal properly, you can use a deadly mix up game from high to low attacks. Choose Lau if this is your first time playing the game so you can get the hang of this game in no time flat. In the hands of an expert, Lau can be deadly. I've seen the computer and even human players chain together attacks and combos to the point that they get perfects back to back with little to no effort. This is due to the fact that his speed is quick enough that unless you're an expert yourself, then you won't be able to see it coming or know how to properly defend yourself against him. If you don't want to be a Lau user, then you'd better learn how to put up some means of a gameplan against him by learning him. He's a nightmare to face. I don't know if it was because he's fighting a disease and he's on the last leg in life, but the makers of Virtua just seemed to say that "If this is the last game that Lau will appear in, then he's going out with a bang!" Like I said to begin with, there's just nothing that he can't do and when you use him, you'll see exactly what I mean! *** Jeffry McWild *** :::::::::~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~=~======================++++++++++++ ::::::::~:~~~~~~~~~~~~+I?++~==~~~~~~~~~~~~~~========================++==++++++++ ::::::::::::::~~=I$7D8D8NNNNNNN8O?=~~~~~~~~~=========================++=++++++++ ::::::::::::~=?$ZDNNNND8NDDNNNNNNNM8$I====~~============================++++++++ :::::::::::~IOONND88OZ8DO$$OIIOO8O8DNN8$+================================+++++++ :::::::::=+ZDDNOD7O7O?ZI+?IIII7IO88DDDNDD$=~~==========================+++++++++ :::::::::+ZDD8Z$OZI7I+==~~===++=7IZOO88NNDO7===========================+++++++++ :::::::~78D7$ZI$I+=====~~~~====++$OZ$888DDNN8?~~~~~~~~~==================+++++++ ,,:::,~?8N$=++?II??+==~~~~=+==+=++7ZO8D88D88NNZ~~~~~~~==============++==++++===+ ,,,,,:=ZN$+=+?III+I?+=~~~==+===++=+7I$$8O8DNDNNZ~=~~~~~~=============+==+=+++=+= ,,,,,~$N+~:=IIII?+?++=~~=+++==~====7$O8DNNNNNNNNO=~~~~==++??===============+==== ,,,,,=7?,:+III7I+++=+~~~=++=======+IO8DDDDOO8ODNNO7DNMMMMMMM8+================== ,,,,:=I::+II7II7=+++I==~==~~?I?I~==+??O8D8DDDN8DNNDMMMMMMMMMZ+================== ,,,,,~Z:+?II7?II~+?+I=~~~~IO888O7++++?Z8DNNNO8Z8NNDNMMMMM8Z?==================== ,,,,,:::+I?+?I7I??+++=~+7ZO7+===I+===++I8N88N8DODDNNNMMMM+====================== ,,,,,=O~??=+?77III?7?+$ZO7$7I?+=:~:~==+?OD88Z?++?+8DNMMNNNNDDDDO$7+============= ,,,,,~?~+=+?III7+I+I$OOOODD8Z+=O==~:~=??I8D8I?I7ZZ?NDNMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMN7+======== .....,=,~,,:=?II+I=$OO88D7+$$=?++=~~~~=+?$OD?7Z$I??$NNMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMZ======== .....~II+7777$$ZO7I8NN8D88$IIII=::~~~===?+ZZ+7I??+++NDNNNDOZ88DDND8DDZ7========= .....,7DD8888DNN7:=?$O$O8OOZ7II+~~~~~~=++?7ZII7I?++?NNNNMMMMM$=~~~~~============ ......?Z+$88MDDN?:===$7II=~~~~+?++=~===++?7O+=?++~~ONNNMMMMMMM$~~~~~~~~~~======= ......,=+N~~Z8ND:,,=:?:,+=?I+===~~===+=+??7$I++=~~+NNNNMND8OZI=~~~~~~~~=~======= ......,IZDIIDD8I~:,,,,.:=77?~~:::~~~===+?II77?=~==8NNNMMMMMMMMN7~~~~~~~~~======= ......:IZ$+ODZD~77I??DNZ$+I$+~::~~=++=++?III7I+=~=ZNNNNNMMMMMMNMMNZ=~~~=~======= .......:=:IZ?Z?7OOZ7I7Z$$$77ZZI+:++?I??I77I77$O$I=INNNMMM8ONMMMMMMMMMZ+~~~====== ........~~Z$IZOZDD8DDZI??II$7$$O7$$77$7$7$$7Z+??++?DNNMMMNMD=IDMMMMMMMMD?======= .........:7?7Z8O88O$7I7777I??I$ZZZ7$$ZZ$Z$7$Z$I+++=8NNNMMMMMM$~=IONMMMMMMNI===== .........,:??ZDD7$ZZOZI?+:~:8Z$$ZZOZ7?$I$Z$$OOO??+=$NNMMMNMMMMN+~~~+I8MMMMMNI=== ..........:?I$NOODO8I,~,MMMMMMMZ77OOOZZ$7OOZZZOI++=+8MMMMNNNMMMMI~~~~~=+I8NN7=== ...........+ZODI8OZ+DMMMMMMMMMMMZ?$Z8OO$Z$ZOOOD7+?=+?OMMMMMNDMMM8+~~~~~~~~===~~= ...........:Z88$OMO8M8MMMMMMMMMMM8?$O8O8ZOOO8OD7++=+==+8MMMMM8ON$=~~~~~~~~=~~=== ...........,?8D8DZMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM7?D8OOZO8O8D8I======~7?MMMMNN?~~~~~~~~~~~~==== ............7ODDO$MMMMMMMMMMMMMM,7$$ZDOZO888D8OI========?7NMNMMN+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~= ...........,:$8ND8?MMMMMMMM.,.=.$I=Z8D888888DO$+=+=++=~~~=IOMMMNNI~~~~~~~~~~~~== ............,IONDOOMMMZI?I,:::,:+IZ8DODD8DDNNZ7+=+=++=+~=~=+INNMMM7~~~~~~~~~~~== .............~Z8N88?M+$I++?=7$ZO8888DD8D8DDDOZ?====+=====++=+?$NDNNI~~~~~~==~=++ ............,,=$NNDIDMIZ8DDDDDDDDDDDDDDD8DDZ$I+==+==~====+====?=ONNZ=~~~~++I7I=~ ............,,:ZDNND?7DNNNNNNNNNN8D8DDDDDOZ$I?+==+++++~+====+==+==?$$7I7I=====~~ ............,..:ODNDNDNNNNNNNNNNNNDDDDNDD8O7I?==+++???++==?+==???==I$7I+++=+++++ ..............,.=8DNNNNNNNNNNNMMNNNDDND8O7Z7?+=+?+?I7I?+===~++=?+7$+7I??+?+??+++ ...............,,:ZDNNNMNMMNNNNNNNNNNN88$$$I+=++?777II???=+==++?$$7777II?????+++ ..................:$8DNNNMNMNNNMNNNND8Z$$$I?++?+I$7II$7??++++??77Z$$77II?IIII??? ..................,:?8NNNNMNMMMMNMNOO$7ZZ7I????I7$$$$77++?+==$OI77$777I?II7III?? ....................=I8MNMMNMMMNNDO77ZZZZI?+?I7$$ZZ$$$??++++$Z777$7IIIII777$777I .................,,,,,:I78NMDMNDOZZ$7$OZ$II??7ZOZZ$O$I???+IZII7777IIII777777$$$7 ...............,.,,,,,,:+?77$ZOOZZZZZZZ$7II7ZZOZZZZZ$7I?IZZ7$7$$II?I77$777777$$$ ..............,,,,,,,,,:+III7OOOOZZZZZ$$II7$ZZZZZOOZ77IIZ$$7$$$77I7$$$$$$7777777 ..........,.,,,,,,,,,,:=7+77$OOOOZZZZ$7$777$OOOOOZZ7I7ZZZ$77I7777$$$$$$$77III?II .........,,,,,::::~:::?7$+I$ZZOOZOZZZZZ$$7$ZOOOOZZZZ$ZZI7777777$$Z$$$$$$7IIIIIII .......,,::~?+++?II77$O7Z+7Z$$Z$ZZZZZZ7$$ZZZOOOZOZZ$Z87I7$$$77$$ZZZZ$7?+++??IIII ....:~++=~:~~=++?I7$$OII7?777Z$OZ$$ZZ$77ZZZOO8ZZZ$ZOOD7II$$$7$$ZO$I======+?????? .,~+:,~~~==~++II7$ZO8$IZ$I7777$OZ$ZZZ$$7$ZO88$77$ZO8DZ7I77$$7ZZ$+::~~=+++??????I ++:::~+=+==++?777ZO87I$77$777$Z$$$7$777$ZZ8ZZ$$$$OODO$7I7$$7$Z$+~~~~=++??IIIIIII :~~==++=++++??77ZOO?II$7?7777$$$$77II77$8III7$$ZOOOO$7II7$77Z$=:,::==+?III777777 ==++??+?????II$$$$I?I7?7I77?$7777$I$Z8+=?++?7ZZOZZ8O$777777$7=:,,::==+?I7I777$$$ ~==???????II7$$$I???????I7II$77I$$O=~=??I??I$$$ZZOOZZ7I7777Z+::::~==+?III777$$$$ - Backstory - - Jeffry had entered the Fourth World Fighting Tournament to raise funds to buy a fishing research vessel with high-end radar, but when he returned home, he heard from the local fishermen that the Devil Shark had been captured by J6. His rival, captured? Jeffry couldn't believe his ears. "I'm the only one who can defeat the Devil Shark! No one else can touch him! No one! Driven by obsession, Jeffry tried to find out everything he could about J6, but even after spending all of his prize money from the tournament, all he learned was that J6 was the organization behind the tournament itself. Unsure of what to do next, Jeffry's next move is decided for him when he receives an invitation to the fifth tournament. - Stats - Nationality - Australian Birthday - 02/20/1957 Hobby - Reggae Music Height - 183 cm (6'0) Weight - 111 kg (244 lbs) Measurements - 121/93/97 Blood Type - A Occupation - Fisherman Fighting Style - Pancratium Voice Actor - N/A First Game - Virtua Fighter - Move Set - - Now it's time to learn how to use Jeffry properly.

Personal Opinion - - Ok....here's basically my take on Jeffry: The hulking huge powerhouse of the game, equaled only by Wolf. Even though he's all strength like Wolf, the two of them differ in many ways. While Wolf retains a sort of techinical aspect, Jeffry is all about beating the living tar out of people. Jeffry is a popular character that the computer and alot of people love to use him. He has incredible reach that for alot of characters, poses a big problem of getting in close to him to even begin attacking him. One of the biggest and probably his most glaring flaw from the start is his speed. Jeffry is not a very mobile guy compared to most of the other characters. He's still pretty quick for a big guy, but when you put him up against the likes of El Blaze....yeah....his lack of speed becomes extremely apparent. Since he's basically the slowest in the game though, that gives him the stereotypical over the top strength factor. All a good Jeffry player has to do is land like 2 or 3 strikes to basically either win the match or come real close. As I said before, Jeffry isn't a techinical character, nor does he have a finesse of sorts....he's all about huge strikes and powerfully devestating throws. You could say that he's a beginner's character, but then again you could say that he's an expert only character as well. The way you could see him as a beginner character is because it doesn't take much to learn him at all. He does have some simplistic combos but it's not like you have to learn them and use them religiously to win matches. Just learning some big throws and his quick hard hitting strikes alone will be what makes you win matches. Now as to why he should be an expert character is because only someone with a firm grasp on the game's mechanics and such could be able to compensate for Jeffry's slow speed and lumbering strikes to make his fighting style become something more than just simple hit or miss style. I've seen expert Jeffry players use a tremendous amount of set up strikes and situations with walls, the enviroment, or just pop ups to set up combos with him that I would of never even thought of that he was capable of pulling off. So I'm going to put Jeffry out there as a character to approach no matter who you are. There's not going to be a huge amount of learning with the game's mechanics with him, but there is a comfort zone that you can find with him in relatively little time. Just think of Jeffry as a character that you play as solely to abuse opponents and to just have some good old fun with rather than become a techinical player and learn the Virtua Fighter 5 game with. One of the cheesiest things that you can do with Jeffry that he has going for him is his throws. You can easily toss people over walls and get many ring out victories over opponents. A very effective way to annoy people and get on their bad sides. All in all Jeffry is a character that is something more or less that you have to play as to get your own sense of feel with and can have a total amount of freedom and fun with, rather than trying to learn a set amount of long combos and strikes and get an in-depth gameplan with to win matches. *** Vanessa Lewis *** ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~:::~~=+======================================+++ ~:~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~=+===+=+++==~::::::::~~=============================+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~==++~=~~,,:~=~=~::::,:=~~,~============================= :::~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~=~+?+==+??=,~~===~:~~~~=~:::~::::=========================++ :::::~~~~~~~~~~~~~+=+==++?~:~~=+++====+=+=~=~~~~,,::,:~~======================++ ::::::::::~~~~~~:::,:+?7==??777$II?7?+=:~~:~~=~===++=::==~~===================++ ::::::::::::~~,::~~::=?$7?$$=~==?$7+I?:+,~~:~:==+??++==,~====~================++ :::::::::::~::~:::~+I$ZI$$+I$7$$7II7?7I=:~:~~,:::~=??+=~:,::::================== ::::::::::~,~:,,,,:=77I7ZZOZZ$777??II?=:~~=:~=~~:~=++?+=~~,:~~================== ::::::::~::::,,,.,::=?+I?IZ$7777777I?:~:,:,::~:~~~~:==+~~=,.~~================== :::::::~,:~:,,.,.,,:=+~===?Z7?=+=?=I7?I:,.,:~::,:=:~=+?+=:,:,,:~================ :::::::::~:,,,,.,,,::~:=7$7IZ7?+?I+=+==~~:..:,,:::::++=~~=:,,,:================= ::::::~,~:~:::,,,,,,=~????7ZZZZ$7I7?+,~~:,,::..,::~:~===:,,~:,:,================ :::::::::,,:::,:,,::::=+?I$Z$ZZ$7$I++~~,,:,,,~~,,,::~::~~~,,,:,:,=============== :::::~,:,::~~~,,,:,,:,:~~~?$?$ZZ7??~=~~:~,,,:::~==,:::~=:~::,,:,:,~~~=========== ,,::,:,::,::+:,,,,,,,~::~+I?$$I?I7I++::~==~,,,~:~?=+~,:~+==:,::,:::============= ,,,:::,,,:::,,,,,,:,::,:+?ZI++=~=+?77=~:?+=~::,~~+++=I=.~===~=:~:::,============ ,,,::,,~,,,=,,,,:::~:,:++$I+=~~~~~=?I7I:7=?:?:+,=~?==+==::,==+~=:,,::=========== ,,,::,,~,:~,,,,:,:~=:~+~II+=~~~~~=~==+?I~:7??I+?:?,=~:+===:~::~:~~,:::========== ,,,,:,,~:,~,,:,,:~:::+7?I+==~~~~~======+?=I+7:I+?,~,~,,~+~=:+~,,:::,~,:========= ,,,,:,:~:~,::,:,:~~::7~?+==~~~~~~~======+++~I?+++=?,,:,+:=:~=+?:,:,,.,:~======== ,,,,~:~=:=~:~,:,~:::+?~?=~~~~~~~~=======~~=?,77I+I,+,~..+:=~~~I?=,,:..~:======== ,,,,~:==,~:::,:,~::=?I?+=~~~~~~~~==~=~~~+++?I,$7I7~7:~~.+I~~~:I$I+~,,.,=~======= ,,,,::==::::,,,,~~,+???+~~~~~~~~~==~~=I??I7777:77I77I~=.~~=~:=,7I7I+,,.==~====== ,.,,:~==:,::,..:~::I?=+=~~~~~~~==~=?$77DDD8DD8Z+I?I?$,~,:+====+?7I$I+,..~~~===~= ....:~+=~::::,.:~,=I+++==~~~====~7Z$OOON8ZO8Z87?I??+I?+::~:=I??III77I?,.:~~~~~~~ ...,,:+==::::,,~=:+???++======+?$Z$OON$=O8O8ZI?I+++=?I+::~~~+$I777?I7I=..~~~~~== ....,:===~::,,,==,?77I?+??+===+I7ZZ$OZ=~~=7Z??++=++=?7I=~??+=?$I7$7????:.,~~~~~~ ....,:~=~?~~::::~,?ZOZ$ZZ$I+=~=+I77IOIII7$7?+====+=+?II?=+7+=+$ZII7I+??+,.:~~~~~ .....:~+=+~~~~::+=+NDDD87ZZ7==~=?II+?++?+=========++?III=+$7+~Z7I$7I?+==~.::~~~~ .....,~++++~=:::?+I$+$7OO$7$?=:~+??+=====~~~~~~~=++++II7=+77?=Z7I77I?+==~~,:~~~~ .....,:=+++=::=:+=$7I=~7+????=:~++++====~~~~~~~~=+++?I77++7Z$=$7I777?++=~=:,~~~~ ......,~+??+=~=~:7$$Z$$7+=++?=:~=++++=====~~~~===++??II7I+7$ZI$O$I???===~:=:,~~~ .......~=??++==~:~7$7?+===++++~~=++??===========++???I7III7$Z$7$?I??++===~:~,:~~ .......,~+?I=+~=~,~77?====++?+~:=+?II?+========++???II7I7I7$ZO7Z?+I=+=++=~~~,::~ ........==??+=+~=~~I7?======I+~:=+++?I?+======++???III7I7?7$ZZ$$I?+==?====~::,,: .........==??==+==:??I+====+?+:,~+?I$$7+=+====++?III77777I7$OI$$Z?I?==?===~~::,, .........,=+?+==++=~I$?====+?I==?7ZOZ7+===++++++?II77777777$Z$Z7$II+?==?==~~:::, ........,.:=++=~~==~++$I+++?7$OZOOOZ?======+++??II7777777$7O$I$77$77+++++==~:::: ...........=++=~~+==,+=?I?++?7$OZ$$?=======+++??I777777$$$OZ$ZZ777$77I?+++=~~~:: ...........,~=+=~~~~=,:=I????++?II+~::~=++?I7I?II7777$$$$OZ$$$$77$7$$II???==~~:: ............,~++~~:~~=:=?II?I?++===?7ZO88OI+??III777$$Z$8O777$$7Z77$7777???===~~ .............,~=+:~::~::=I7?II?7ZOOOD8$+~=II?II7777$$ZZ8O$77777II$77$7777??I==~~ ...............,=+::~:~,~=II77$$7?+=~~:=?77IIIII77$ZZO8Z7777777II$$77$77$7II?=== ..............,,,==,,,=~:~?$7$$7$7?+=+?$Z$$7III77$ZZ888$$7777777II$777$7I$7II?+= ..........,.,,,,,,~~=,,,,=?+$I7$$$$O8OZ7??++???7$ZOD8O$$77777777III$$77$77$7II??

But midway through the tournament, Vanessa suddenly lost contact with her team and disappeared. After a few years passed with no leads on her whereabouts, Vanessa was suddenly found unconscious in a room in the Bryant home. When she came to, she could only remember events up to midway through the fourth tournament. Her body, however, showed signs of conditioning and training beyond anything she remembered. As Vanessa struggled with her lack of memories, she learned of the fifth tournament. Hoping to find out what had happened, Vanessa decides to enter the tournament. - Stats - Nationality - Unknown Birthday - N/A Hobby - Singing Height - 175 cm (5'9) Weight - 55 kg (121 lbs) Measurements - 93/57/93 Blood Type - AB Occupation - Security Guard Fighting Style - Vale Tudo Voice Actor - N/A First Game - Virtua Fighter 4 - Move Set - - Now it's time to learn how to use Vanessa properly.

Personal Opinion - - Ok....here's basically my take on Vanessa: It's hard for me to place Vanessa in a means of who she is really meant for, either a beginner or an expert. She has quite a few techniques that take quite awhile to getting use to, yet when I gave her a spin, she had more than enough simple combos and strikes to destroy opponents. I would put her into a Jeffry category, but it's not like you can just haul off and do whatever you want and still win matches. She does require a degree of practice in order to finally get down right, especially if you're planning on learning her inside and out. If you're just wanting to pick up on her though just to see what she's about, then she still has plenty of the basics that seem to put her skills up there with that of a pro player even in the hands of a beginner. A true expert Vanessa player though is a force to be reckoned with. Where Vanessa's strengths lie is in her blitz offense tactics, her quick strikes, her counter game, and her solid defense. You could say that she has the total package, and you could be right....but she's not without her flaws! Though she does have the answer for any situation given to her, it all depends on the stance that she's in. That's right. You have to switch back and forth between her two stances in order to gain either her full offensive tactics or her full defensive tactics. This can be a big pain in the ass given that most of the time if you're using other characters, it just becomes second nature to use your offense and defense without hindrance. So basically what you have to do with her is not so much learn her inside and out, but learn every other character inside and out! This way you'll know what you should use and what to stay in majority of the time given whatever character you're faced with. If you know that by fighting Jeffry or Wolf that you have the speed advantage, then stay with her offensive stance and stick to using blitz tactics and stringing combos. Like wise if you're fighting against El Blaze or Eileen and know that you're out classed in speed and blitz tactics, then switch to primarily using her defensive stance and tactics, using her counter game to your advantage. So I would say that basically use Vanessa as you would see fit against likewise opponents. It all basically falls upon your own skill against players and the computer when thrown into various situations. So in the long run when using Vanessa it matters more on how you react to players and the way they fight more so than learning her inside and out. You must be ready for anything with her and know what techniques to use and how to use them on the fly. So going back to whether or not she is a beginner or an expert character.... well the verdict's still out. An expert can appreciate the extremely deep gameplay that she offers up, but be turned off by the fact that she's not as fluid a character as just about the rest of the roster is. While a beginner will love how much Vanessa can offer and if this is a beginner's first character for this game, will be able to learn Vanessa far more easily than a person who's been playing the game alot longer than others. Still a beginner can be easily overwhelmed by many given the fact that they still lack the knowledge of the game or the other characters and what they are capable of since they have no clue how to yet judge other players or characters. I would say approach Vanessa with this knowledge at hand and at your own discretion. She can be a true force to be reckoned with yes, but not until you've definitely put in the long haul of time behind her. All in all though....a sexy mama like her is more than enough for any one to enjoy to the fullest extent....beauty and brawn is something that doesn't come around very often! *** Wolf Hawkfield *** :::::::::::::::~:~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~======================= ::::::::::::::::::::~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~=~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~======================= ::::::::::::::::::::~~~:~?O88888888888Z~~~~~=~~~~~~~===~~======================= :::::::::::::::::::::~8D8D88DD8DDDD8888888D=~~~~~~~~============================ ::::::::::::::::~:$DD8DDDD8DDD8DD8DD888888888D?~~~~~============================ ::::::::::::::::ZDDDDDDD88DD88DDD88888888888888D?~~~~~~~======================== ::::::::::::::?DDDDDDDD88DDDDDD8D88888888OD888D888$~~~~~~~~~==================== ,:::::::::::,88DDDDDDD8DDDD8DD888888888888888D888888~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~========== ,,::::::::::88DDDDDD88D8DD88DD88888888DD8888888888888?~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~=========== ,,,,,,,::~Z8DDDDDDDD88DDD88D888888888888888O8888888888I~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~========== ,,,,,,,,:O8DDDDDDDD8D8D8DD88888888888888888888888O88OOO~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~========= ,,,,,,,,=8DDDDD8DDD8DD8DD8888888888888D8DD88OO8OO8888888~~~~~~~~~~~~~~========== ,,,,,,,=8DDDDDDDDDD8DD8O8888DDD888D888DD888888OO88888O8OO~~~~~~~~~~~~=========== ,,,,,,:Z8DDDDDDDDD88D8888DDDDDD8888O888D8888888OO888O888ODO+~~~~~~~~~=========== ,,,,,,,O8DDDDDDDDDDD8DDDD8DN8OZ77$?ZO8888DDD8888888OO888O8DD8$=~~~~~~~~========= ,,,,,,788D8DDDDD8DDDDD88DD8Z?+,,,,,~$OOD8DDD88888OO8OOOOO8DDDDDZ=~~~~~========== .,,,,,888D8DDDDDDDD8DD88$7+:,,,,,,,:I$88DDDDDD88888OOOZZO8DDDD88OI=~~~========== .,.,,.DDNNDNDDDDDD88OZ7~,,,,,,,,,,,,~IO88DDDDD888888OOZOO8DDDDDDD8OI~~~========= ....,,DD8?ZODDDDDDO7~,,:,,,,,,,,,,,,:+Z8DDDDDD8D8888OOOD??DDDDDDDDDDO?~~~~~~~=== ......8D$.,~7$$ZZI+,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,:?ZODDDDDDD8D8888O:+Z8D+8DDDD8D8887~=~~~~~~~ ......OD?...,::~:,~$7:,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,:?Z88DDDDDDD888O~7O7I++7:DDDDD8OOOO+~~~~~~~ ......8D,...O7,,:OZ77,,,,,,,,,,:,,:,,,==7Z8DDDDD8DD88I$I++++IIODD8D8OOZZ$?~~~~~~ ......8D....7ZZOOZZ$7:,,,,,,,,:,,,,,,,,::?+I8DDDDDD8?7$O8O7+=I+DD888OZZZZOO+=~=~ .......D.....OZOOOZZI,,...,,,,.. .....::,:::?ZD8DDD8++7OZOZI+I?8ZOOZZZZZZ88OO~~~ .......?,....IZZOOOOI:,...,:....,:==+~,,::~==7ZODDD8++=~ZZI+I7$D?I$$$$ZZZZ8888$~ .......,I....:8OOOOO7,,,,:,..,=ID88888DD?+====7$DDDZ=+?IZI=I$$DD$=+7$$$$ZZ$O8D8D ..........,..,+OOZOOI,,,:,,=I$DNDDNNNNNN7++=~~+IZ8O$+++IZ+?7I$DD8:~~?$ZZZ$ZZZO88 ...........::,,DOOOO=,::~+7ZNNNNDOO8DDDD??==~~~?77ZI???$Z=+=IDDD8=~:~+ZOZO$ZOOOO .........,..::,7OOO8~~?I$ODND$DDI?77ZZ8~:::~~:~~7I?+???=:~+?Z8DD87::::=$OOOZZZOO .........8777?=+DOODI$O8DNNMM8I?7$7OZO:,,,,,,::~=+?++I?==?I$?I77+~::~:::7ZOOOOOO ..........NNNDOOZDDNO8NNNNNNND88D888=?8O,,,::~==+++++?$II$O???+=~:::,:~:::+$ZZZZ ...........,D$Z$$DDOZ=8O8I==~~~~D88ZOZZO8+==+++??+++++O$77I????++=~:::::~~~~:+$$ .............DNNNMDOI88$~~:::::~=$ZZZ$I++++??????++++++Z7II??++++=~::,,,.,:~~~~~ .............?DDDZZZ~8I~~~::~::::~==+????III7III?====~~$I?????+==::,,,,.....~~~~ .............O88??7O=8::::::::::~~==+I77$$$$77II?+=~~~~=?=~:::::,,,,,,.....,,,:~ .............Z+~,:=ZI=,,:~~===~~~===+??7$7777I???+=~~~~~I=~~:::,::,:,,,,...,,,,, ..............??,.,$I,,,:~~=II??++=+++????IIIII??+==~~~=7+~~~~~:::,:,,,,,,,,::,, ...............I:..?:,,,:=++7??III?+++??????II??++====++ZI===~~~::::::::,,,:::,, ................=,.~.,~+$8887=+=++I?++?+?????I???++++?IIOZ?~~~==~~~:::::,,,,,,,, .................~,+~?Z8ND8$=~==+=++???++????IIIIIIII77Z8O$?==+==~~~~~::,,,,,,,, .................:~8OZOO8Z+~~~~=====+???++??III7$$$Z$$ZOOO$????+=~~~~~~~:::,,,,. ..................,:~=ODD?::~~~==+++++??++++?I7$ZZOOZZZZZ$I?II?+=====~~:::::,,,, ...................~:$DD88DDDDDDD8OO$$7I??=++I77$ZOZ8888O7?II?++=~=~~~~::::,,,,, ..................,+OD88DD8DD8ZZO8DD88Z$777III77ZZ$O888DDZ$77I++~=+=~~:::::::,,, ...................,ODD8OI?+=+IIIII++?I7$Z$7777$Z$DD8D88O$$$I?+=~==~~~:::::::::: ....................+8ZZOO8DDD8OO$7I?7$ZZZZZ$ZO$ONND8888$III?+=~====~~~~~:::~~~: .....................=7Z8DDDDDD8OOZZZOZZZ$$$ZOZ8NNNDD88ZII??+=~~======~=~~~~~~~~ ......................,ZO88O$$77$ZOOZZ$$$$$OZODNNNNDD8$II??+++==++~====~==~~~~~~ .......................,OOZI??+++?I7777$$ZOZ8DNNNNNDD8$7I?+=++===++========~~~~~ .........................77????++???III$OOZ8DDNNNNNNDO$7I?++=++++++++=====~~~~~: .........................,?I$$ZZZZZ$ZZO8Z8DDNDDNNNNNDZ$77?++++++++++++==~~~~:::: ..........................,$O888O8O8888Z8DDDDDDDDNNN8Z$7I??+++++++++====~~:::::: .........................,,.$8O88+~ZOOO88DDDDDDDDDNNO$$7II?+++++++++==~::::::::: .........................,,,,,,,,,,,,=8DD8DDDDDDDDDDZ$7II?++=+++++==~:::::::~~~~ ..................,..,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,:88DDDDDDDDDDZ$7I?++=+++++==~::::~~~~~=== ..................,.,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,ZODDDDDDDDD$77I?+++++++=~~=~==~==++????

He saw a small mark on Dural's body that was very similar to a symbol he had seen in his nightmares - a recurring dream of the apocalypse. Almost as if to confirm the connection, his nightmares ended. Wolf returned to his life as a professional wrestler, and received a challenge from El Blaze, and an invitation to the Fifth World Fighting Tournament. Wolf hid a smile, knowing that he'd have something else to look forward to besides fighting Akira. - Stats - Nationality - Canadian Birthday - 2/08/1966 Hobby - Karaoke Height - 181 cm (5'11 1/4) Weight - 101 kg (222 lbs) Measurements - 123/93/98 Blood Type - O Occupation - Woodman Fighting Style - Pro Wrestling Voice Actor - N/A First Game - Virtua Fighter - Move Set - - Now it's time to learn how to use Wolf properly.

Personal Opinion - - Ok....here's basically my take on Wolf: Great Jeezamus Christ! You want pure power and refined technique you say? Well look no further! Wolf gives you by the far the most dangerous mix up game in this game! When used properly, it's extremely tough to figure out what anyone will throw at you to defend it properly. He has a wide variety of high to low attacks that devestate on each hit, and if you find yourself in the midst of a cheesy or turtle player, well Wolf has quite a few surprises for them as well. Should someone want to use a few cheesy pop attacks or low attacks, Wolf has the reach over damn near every character in the game, with the exception of Jeffry, to put a boot up someone's ass and stop them cold in their place. As for turtle players that like to block or crouch all the time....well don't worry....you can't block throws! Wolf has a wide variety of throws and throw combos that will leave even the greatest turtle player trying desperately to figure out what to do against you. Wolf, is simply put, the total package in this game. His speed is a bit lacking in this game, but it's not as bad as Jeffry. Besides that, Wolf also has an impressive defensive capablity to counter like crazy and reverse the offensive on other players. So it's not like you'll need too much speed when playing as Wolf if you let them come to you. One of the biggest and best things about Wolf in this game is that he's the character that has the strongest attacks in the game. I'm not kidding. You can win a match in just two attacks only with him....not even a combo is needed, just two simple attacks! Wolf is blessed to have the Giant Swing in his arsenal which takes off just about half of the opponent's life bar, and even more so if you're able to toss them into a wall...or just win the match by tossing them over the wall instead! In the hands of a true expert, Wolf is by far the most deadly and the hardest character to overcome no matter who you are. One of the best things about him as well is the fact that there's very little learning curve with him. A beginner can easily pick up Wolf and go far with him in no time at all. The only thing you really need to worry about doing with Wolf is learning when and where is the best times to use certain moves in his arsenal. Also you can't really try to go toe to toe with the faster characters in terms of beating them to the punch all the time. Try to make your opponents open up to you and make them play to your game, rather than going berzerker on them. With one of the best move sets in the entire game, Wolf is by far the best character for anyone of any skill level that they could pick up and just have fun with the game. His high strength and defense levels allow players to take damage and dish it out like it was going out of style, and his technical aspects allow players to pick up on the game mechanics easily enough, getting a proper feel for the game almost instantly. You just can't go wrong with this behemoth of a man, so give him a try at least once. *** Lion Rafale *** ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~=~=============================================+=+++++++++++++ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~===============~,,.,,,~:==~~~=+=+===============++++++++++++ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~==~=~==:,::~=+=:,,,=Z7I$7$=~~================++++++++++ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~=~~~~:~~,.,.,,~?~::,,$OOZ++?7I+=:===========++++++++++++ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~=~,:=+~:,.,::,,,,,,,,,Z?I=?~=~+=~~~~======++++++++++++++ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~=~=~~~::=??+=+==??=::,,~?7++==~~~~~~~::=======++++++++++++ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~=~~~==+???+=:::::,,~7::::I+I?+~~~~+=~:,,~==++=+++=++++++++ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~=+=~=+?=~~~==III77?+=:,:?:=$ZI=III?~:,:+=:,,========++++++++ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~==~=+??=~+??77?~:=:~:::=~,=?7$7I++~~==:::,:=~,:+===++++++++++ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~=+~==??=~~+?I~++=????======~:I$$7I$?+~+?+=~~,,~~:,==+===+++++++ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~=+==+?~=~====?+7ZII$7=+?======I$$7++===:=::,~~~,,::,:++=++++++++ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~==++?=+=~+~~?I7+$7777$I~===I7I=7Z$7?==~,,.,,,:,~~:,,,,.+===++++++ ::::~~~~~~~~~~==+?++=+~=~+==+II$$7I7$III+?Z+?$7$7$$7?=~:,..,,,,,::,.,,.=++++++++ :::::::~~~~~~==??++??++====III$77I7777$ZZZZ77$Z7$777$7I+~...,,,,,,,.,,,.=+=+++=+ :::::::::::~~=?+=??=+===++?I777II?I$$$$ZZZZZ$ZZ$$I?77II?~,...,,,,,,,...,,+=+++== ::::::::::~~=+++??+====???IIIII??I77Z$ZOZZZZZZ$?$7$7$7II?=:,..,,,:,,...,.:++++== :::::::::::=+=+?++==+=+?+??II?+++?7$ZZZZZZZZZZO$$7$777II?I=~,..,..,,,.....+=+=== ::::::::::~==+?+===+==?=+???++=+?+$OZZZZOZZZZZZ7$77$II77I++=:...,.,:,.....==+=== ::::::::~:~=+++======+~~+??+=+=++Z$$$ZZZZZZZZZ$$$7II$7III?~~:,....,,:.....,===== :::::::::~~+?===~+==~~:=+++~=++=I=?+?I77$ZZZZZ$$$7I7I7I$7I+:~,.....,:,.....===== :::::::~:~+?===:=+~~=:~==?~~=+===~::::~==?+77$$77I7II7I7I?7~:~......,~.....:==== ::::::::~=?===:===~+,:~~?::~~~+=~::,,::::~~:~++====++???II7+:~,...,..,,.....==== ::::::::=?===:=++~+~::~+::~~~+~~~:,,,::::::~~~~~=====+++????~:,...,,..,.....==== ::::::,~~=~=~~=+~+~::===,~:~?=~~::,:::::::~~~~~~===+++++??II~,,.......:.....==== :::::::~~~=~~=+~==:~~=~::~~=+~~::::::::::~~~~~====+++++++??I~,,.....,..,....==== ,,,:,::~~~=:=+~===~~+:~,~:===~::::,,:::::~~~=====+++???????I=,,........,....~=== ,,:,,,::~+:~=~=~=~~~+=:,::=+~~:,,,,,,:::~~~~=====++????????I?:,........,....==== ,,,,,:::::~~~=~~=~~=~~,:,:==::,,,,,,,,:~~~=~=====+++++++??+?+~:.............==== ,,,,:,::::~~~~~~~~~=:,,~:~?+::,,,,,,,::::~~~=======+++++++==~~,......:.....,==== ,,,,,,:::::=~:==~=~~~::~::?D8ZI=::,,,:::~~~~==============~~~:,......:,....,==== ,,,,,,::::~~:==~~~=~~:~=~=?I7DN88$=~:::~~==========~=======~::.......:,....:~=== ,,,,,,:,::~I$~==:=~~+~===+7$$$ZZODDO7?+++++=====~~~+?I7$Z88D~,.......,.....:~~== ,,,,,,::~:~ZI~:::~~~+~=??==DOMMNNDZZO8O$???+??I7$ZODDNNNNDO7=,....,.,,.....:~~~= ,,,,,,::::I$:~::~~~~~~=+??=$7$ZD??D7$7II=++?IZ8D88OOZZ$$$7Z?=,...,:,.,.....:==~= ,,,,,,,:::+~?=::~:~~::===+I7$Z7I$8887?+~::~?77ZOZZDD8MNMMMD+~:.,,,:,,,,....:==== ,,,,,,,:~:~I+Z,:,,::::===??II$77II?++=~:,,:=+7$$8O?=O$OODIOI~+,,,:,,,,:...:,==== ,,,,,,,::::++$,,,..,,,~~~+++=++?+==~:,,,,:~++?7I7$Z$ZO$$787+::,,,~,,,,:,.,:~~=== ,,,,,,,:::,,:?,,,..,,,:~~====~~~::,,,,,:,:=??+?III77$$$$$Z+:+=,,,,:~,::..::~~=== .,,,,,:~,~:,,~:.,,,,,,:~~===~~~:::,,::,,,:=?++++????+????I=:+~:,,,~7+I:.:~~=~~== .,,,,,::,:?,,,..,,,,,,:~:==~~~~::::,,:,,,:=?+??+++++====++~~?=~,::=II+,:~======= ,,,,,,,:,:?:,,:,,,,::::::~~~~~~~:::,,:,,,:=+++?++++=====+~???+~::,$=?~,~~~~=~=== ,,,,,,,:,~?I~:~:,,::::::~~~~~~~~::::::,,.,~=++??+++++==+?I?7?+~::=I=~.:~~~~===== ,,,,,,,,::?77?I?,,:::::~~~~~~~~~~~::::,,,,~=++???+++++???II7?+~=,=+::,~~~~~===~~ ,,,,,,,,~~+77I77,,::::~~~~~~~~~===::::::~=+??I?II?++++??I????+~:::~.,:~~~~~~~~~~ ,,,,,,,,:~+77777:,,::::~~~~~======~===~~+III???7I????????????+=,:~,:,~~~~~~~~~~~ ,,,,,,,,::?I7777I,,:::::~~~~~==~===I$??+$77O$I7III???????I???~7~:,,::~~~~~~~~~== ,,,,,,,,::+?7$$77,,,:::::~~~~~~~~~==+?+?I7$$$7IIII??????I??I+=~,,,,:~~~~~~~~~~~~ ,,,,,,,,,~+?7$$$7,,,,::::~~~~~~::::~~=?IIII77II????????IIII+~=:,,,::~~~~~~~~~~~~ ,,,,,,,,,~??I$$$7,,,,:::::~=?+~::::::~~+=+??I?II?I?????????=+~,,:,~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ,,,,,,,,,~??I$$$I,,,::::::~~~=O$777777$$$$$I????I???IIIII?===:.~:~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ,,,,,,,,,???I$$$?,,,,:::::~~~~~+++7ZOOOZZOZZZZ$$7I??IIII?=+=:,.:~~~~~~~~~~~~~=== ,,,,,,,,:??+?$$$~,,:::::::~~==~==+==~=+I7$777$I?IIIIIIII+?+=:,::~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~= ,,,,,,,,~+?+?$77+,,:~:::::~~~===+?I777777$$$7IIIIIIIII?++==~,.~~~~~~~~~~~~~===~= +++?+?I+??I+?777?,,,:~::::~~~==++?7$ZZZZZZZ$77777IIII?=,+==,,.+=+==~~~~~=~~==~== ??=+===~+?I+?77I+,,,:~~~::~~~~~=++??II77$$$$$7777I7I?~.:?+~,..I$$$ZZ$$7I?+=~~~== ~~::::=+???+??7+~:,::~=~~~:~~~~~~===+???II777777777?=,.+~=:,..788OOZOO8OZZ777+~~ :,,~$NO8++I????~:+:::~~~~~=~~~~=~====+???III77777I7?~.:+=:,,,,ZNMNNND88O8OOZ$77? ~IONN8Z????=?++:,~~::~=~~~~=+==++++???IIIII77777$$7+:,~,~....:DNNNNNNN88888OOZ$?

He had not been able to win the tournament, but was satisfied with his performance and fighting. His father congratulated him as well, and it seemed that his life would continue without incident. But one day, Lion stumbled on the documents that seemed to link his father's company to J6. Lion threw himself into his training, trying to forget his suspicions. Just when he could no longer stand to keep quiet, an invitation arrived for the Fifth World Fighting Tournament. Somewhat bothered by the timing of the invitation arrival, Lion decides to enter the tournament, in part to learn about his father's involvement with J6. - Stats - Nationality - French Birthday - 12/24/1979 Hobby - Skateboarding Height - 180 cm (5'11) Weight - 79 kg (175 lbs) Measurements - 90/84/88 Blood Type - AB Occupation - Student Fighting Style - Tourou-Ken Voice Actor - N/A First Game - Virtua Fighter 2 - Move Set - - Now it's time to learn how to use Lion properly.

Personal Opinion - - Ok....here's basically my take on Lion: Well if you're the type that loves to cheese your way out of matches, then look no further for your character. Lion offers up some of the sneakiest moves that I've ever seen from a fighting character in any game. First off you have a blazing speed advantage with him, which works extremely well with the kind of moves that you'll be performing with him. Secondly he has a tight game of making you guess where he'll strike. What sometimes may look like he's about to go for a high attack to the head, it turns out that he is really aiming for your legs with a low attack. It's more annoying trying to figure out how to put up a solid defense against this guy, than it is trying to learn how to use him. Lion can be summed up as a middle tier character that you'd want to use. Give yourself some time to learn alittle bit of the game, and get a feel for it before moving on to Lion. This is because his style, while relatively simple in theory, requires you to set up opponents more so for deep combo punishment rather than going on blitz offensives. Now you can easily enough go for blitz's with Lion, but the majority of them will be low attacks that have great range. The down side you ask? Well people will eventually catch on to the low game that you're playing and then you're screwed if you don't have anything else that you can do in terms of being flexible with him. Lion does offer up a nice set countering that does help him to lead into his better combos and big damage pay outs, but once again....it's all a matter of being patient with him. It can be easy to get overly excited with Lion since his character is all about speed and quick attacks, making yourself cocky enough to want to lash out alot at opponents. But this is a newb's mistake. Like I said, Lion is best handled by players after they've put some time into the game to learn it alittle bit and get a feel for things. If you can master using Lion to luring opponents to doing what you want them to do when you want them to do it, then people will soon start to hate you like it isn't even funny. Use his low attacks sparringly to say the least so you don't show a pattern that your opponents can use against you. Lion isn't built to take a huge beating ya know! All in all though, if you want to use a smart alecky, fast-paced, stylish, and dangerous character, then you've got that and more in Lion! *** Dural *** DDDDD8888888888888OOOZ$O+...........~~=+++++====~~~~::,......,:~~=++??II77$$ZZOO DDDDD8888888888888ZZ$::$OZZ777$+.........:~====~~~~:,,......,::~==++??II77$$ZZOO DDDD8888888888OOZZ=....,Z+...+:=............:~~~~~:,,......,,:~~==++??II77$$ZZOO DDD8888888888O8Z.+:.:=:I=~:,?Z=...............,~~:,,......,,:~~==+++??II7$$ZZZOO DDD888888888OZ.+:,::=??I?:...,,... .............,,,.......,:~~~==++???II7$$ZZZOO D8888888888O$::,=II?:,.......,..........................,,::~~===++??II77$ZZOOOO D888888888OZ:?:IZI?I..........~+,=..,.....,............,,::~~~===++??I77$ZOO8888 D88888888OZ,7OZZ77..........I$::::I?...+?++$$$~........,::~~~===++??II7$Z8DDDDDD D88888888O=$OZ$?:..........~?N?,IZ78DOZ.,~88ZZO7~.....,:~~~~~==++??II7$ZODDDNNND DD888888OZ,$ZZ?:,.......,:~:~:D?DO$8MMDN=:~~~,78I.....,:~~~~===++??I77$O8DNNNNND DDDDDDDDO~IZ7?::.......,~?I77+==DM8NNMNNN8?=~:~~=,.....~~~~===++??I77$ZO8DNNNDDD DDDNNDD8D+$$:,,:,......,~=I77+==INMMMNMNNN8,,~=:~I.....~~====++??II77$$ZO8DDDDD8 DDDNDDD8Z?$=...,,......,:=?77++$ZDMMMMMNNNDO~=:I:?.. ..:====++???I777$$ZZO888888 88D8$.Z.=$:,.,.,.......,=??77I$OOMDMNNNNNNNDD7~::~~. ...~+=++??II77$$$$ZZOOO8888 8O8DOI.DO:.....,.....,:~ZZOOZ$OZMMNMMMNNNNNDDD:,::=,....=+++??II77$$$$ZZZOO88888 ZOO?NMNIN$....,.,~7DNDMMNNNNN88O88NMMMNNNNNDND~:=~Z.....=????II777$$ZZZOOO888888 $7~MNMD7N:..,,,::78NMMMMMMMMMMN8O$ZMMMMNNNNDDD::~O~....,+???III77$$ZZZZOOOO888OO $O$MD..IZ,..,=I:+=Z8NMNMMD8D8MMMO7NMMMMNNNNDD8:::+.....:+?III777$$$ZZZOOOOOOOOOZ 7INDM$:,..,.:::IZ8D$$ZNMZ7?=?ZN8MDNNNNMNNNND87~:I......~?III777$$ZZZZOOOOOOOOZZZ I$IDMN~,:..,:,:IOND,...,=~?,,:~DNNNNNNNNMNND7=::?......+II777$$$$ZZZOOOOOOOZZZZZ ?I$8NNOZ~..,,,~$DD=......,,...~=ZDNMNNNNMNDI=,::?.....:II777$$$ZZZZOOOOOOZZ$$ZZZ +?I8MN7$,..,,:?8NMN7,......,...,:ZOMMNNNNNZ,:~=+7....,I7777$$$ZZZZZOOOOOZ$$$$ZZO =+INMMZI,.,~:~ZDMMMMND$=........~888ND+~,=~+I$$=.....77777$$$ZZZZOOOOOOZZ$$$ZZOO ~~7DMO~~.,~+~$8NMMMMDO~$ODO?Z$7ZDNNMI:......:II.....IO$77$$$ZZZZOOOOOZZ$$$$$ZZOO ~~==MNN:.:77IODMMMMMN8MNM8NN8NNNMNN?.........~,.....~:?7$$$ZZZZOOOOOOZ$77$$ZZZZZ ~::~.DO,.:ZZ7ONMMMMMMMND7ZZ8ZZ7Z8N8=................:..I$$$ZZZOOOOOZZ$$7$$ZZZZZZ :::::~...?O$$8NMMMMMMMD888OZ$+,+ZD=.$Z8?:,....,~.,.,:,.7$ZZZZOOOOOZ$777$$ZZZZZ$$ ,,::::...78$$ONMMMMNMMMN88Z7=,.~D$..~NNNN$::,~::..::~.=$ZZZZOOOOZZ$77$$$ZZZZ$$7I ,,,,::..,ZD77ODMMMNDMMMMMZ.,...OD:..~DDD=IZZ7,...,,.~,$ZZZZOOOOZZ$777$$ZZZ$$77I?

Her name was Tsukikage and she was both Kage-Maru's mother and a Kunoichi. When the mysterious corporation J6 noticed her exemplary fighting ability and resilient body, they captured her and used her as their prototype for their terrifying Dural project. Arming her body with various cybernetic enhancements and brainwashing, she became a cyborg, immune to feeling. Technically, she underwent roboticization, though this isn't directly stated in the games. Since then, Kage has attempted to retrieve Tsukikage and restore her to her former self, finally succeeding in Virtua Fighter 3. However, he needed parts to keep her inhuman body operational, and when he retrieved them, she became even less human than before. Now Kage enters the 4th tournament to end his mother's suffering and return her to normal. Meanwhile, the J6 corporation has their eyes on Sarah Bryant as the subject for their next Dural project. During the Fourth World Fighting Tournament, J6 released their true model; however it was defeated. This drove J6 to kidnap Vanessa Lewis. Although Vanessa escaped, her combat data was captured and transferred into a new model: V-Dural. J6 is now ready to test if their new advanced V-Dural is truly ready to defeat the world's best fighters - let the Fifth World Fighting Tournament begin... - Stats - Nationality - N/A Birthday - N/A Hobby - N/A Height - N/A Weight - N/A Measurements - N/A Blood Type - N/A Occupation - Bio-Weapon Fighting Style - Mixture of Fighting Styles Voice Actor - N/A First Game - Virtua Fighter - Move Set - - Now it's time to learn how to use Dural properly.

You can't use her in Quest Mode to get new costumes or costume parts. She has 4 different "versions" though from what I can tell. There are two costumes that you can use from the start, Costumes A and C. I'm still trying to figure out if there is a way or not to unlock Costumes B and D if there even is a Costumes B and D. But I believe I know what Costumes B and D are from what I've seen of Dural in other modes of play in the game. Costume A = Dural's "Platinum Steel" version. This is the one most often seen in all of Dural's promotional pictures and videos all over the net and magazines. Costume B = Dural's "Black Steel" version. Now I've only seen this version in the game when I was practicing in the Dojo while using Dural's Costume A. She appears even more shiny than her Costume A, and gives her a much more sleek appeal than most. Costume C = Dural's "Invisible" version. Now this is what I call impressive! I dunno if this version is in the Arcade or not, but if this is a way of showing off the PS3's capablities, then damn. You can see through Dural, but not exactly entirely. The light of the area around you bends around her body in a way to show you where she is at at all times. So technically she's not truely invisible, but a window you could say. Still, impressive none the less, and using this version could even throw off everyone's game of trying to look extremely close at what you're trying to do. Costume D = Dural's "Stone" version. This is the version of Dural you see during the bonus boss fight at the end of playing through the series of opponents during arcade mode in the PS3. When you goto the Sanctuary stage, she seems to be a statue that comes to life for the sole purpose of wiping the floor with you. She isn't as visually impressive in this version since no light really bounces off her. This would be a definitive costume for her to play against others since it sort of at least puts her on a level playing field with the rest of the cast. Her body doesn't set off reflections of light nor is she see-thru. She's a solid, easy to tell target....but that still doesn't take away from how deadly she is though! - Personal Opinion - - Ok....here's basically my take on Dural: She's friggin Dural!!!!! I mean damn already....they talk about her constantly as a weapon throughout the story and character bios, so why wouldn't she be extremely powerful? Her strength factor is ridiculously high, her defense skills are top notch, her speed is blazingly high, I mean there's nothing you can find about her that's wrong! She has the best of everything and to make things worse in her favor, she has the best martial arts set in the entire game. Why do you ask? Well that's because she has every single best move, strike, throw, or combo that's offered up by all the cast of characters in this game. She can defeat opponents in just two moves just like Wolf since she has access to his Giant Swing, and some of the hardest hitting strikes that can be offered up by any of the other characters in the game. She has the best combos as well used by the likes of Akira, El Blaze, etc. Not only that but her versions of their combos are blazingly fast and if you blink, you'll miss the whole combo! They're hard to block simply due to the fact that the first hit is so hard to tell where she's trying to aim at because she throws the first hit at an incredible speed. There's not even too much of a learning curve with her since all of the moves designated to her are put in such a simplistic manner than where they originally come from. If you can't use Dural, then you simple shouldn't be playing this game at all. A beginner can pick her up and own expert players like they're nothing at all. It's hard enough to beat her when playing against her as the computer, but when human controlled....in the hands of an expert she is by far the most deadly thing in this game. I highly doubt that she's actually tournament legal, but for fun against your friends, go for it! 6) Quest Mode - Time to talk about the one thing that the Playstation 3's got that will be the most time consuming thing in the game. This is suppose to simulate in ways of taking on arcades of people. Your main goal in this is to become the best of the best Virtua Fighter players around. This is done by fighting and defeating "players" in the various arcades across the map. Each arcade holds different skill level players. Since there is no difficulty that you can set for this, this is the best way to go about doing things in terms of how tough you want things to be. After awhile you'll notice that you gain levels in this mode as well. As you gain levels, tougher opponents will appear that you must take on. After awhile, players of certain skill levels will not be open to you anymore due to the level of what you are. More on this will be explained later. Lets get this ball rolling though in great detail as to what you have to do to become the greatest Virtua Fighter player in the land! *** The Arcades *** - This is where we shall talk about the various arcades that are scattered across the map that you'll play on. The arcades are basically where you'll select your real difficulty when it comes to fighting players. Each arcade lists what kind of players there are in it and the difficulty that they will provide you with. From the beginner difficulty to the expert difficulty, you have to learn how to handle them all if you wish to complete the Quest Mode. Now when you go to each arcade, depending on what kind of difficulty will depend how each person reacts as well. You could fight a 5th Kyu player in a beginner's arcade and he'll be incredibly easy to beat, barely even put up a fight even. But go into an expert arcade and another 5th Kyu player could put up a fight against you that would rival a 8th Dan player from that very own beginner arcade. So sometimes you can't really judge the player's skill on their title, but rather what the arcade is telling you the types of players that frequent that arcade. There are seven arcades that you have access to. The arcades are as follows: * Sega Arena Coast * A lively arcade with a welcoming environment and many beginning players. (No matter who you fight in here, for the most part you won't have much of a problem fighting the players in here. Until you hit some of the higher titles, then you really won't be finding too much of a challenge here. This is a great place to get a feel for things though, and warm up at least for later fights and more challenging arcades.) * Sega World North * A well-known arcade where many advanced players gather. (Ok...this is where you'll step into some tough territory. They're not the hardest players in the game mind you, but it'll sure feel that way! Before you decide to head to South, I suggest taking on a few here and getting a feel for things before heading there. This place will push you to go beyond the limits that you thought you couldn't break before.) * Club Sega Downtown * A crowded arcade packed with many beginning and intermediate players. (Now here's a place where you can learn how to get better as a player! You have a mixture of players that on a scale of difficulty from one to ten stars, you have players that are from one star difficulty to about 5 star difficulty. You can easily be pushed into digging deep to find a more in-depth gameplan with yourself and yet be comfortable enough to feel that you have control of things here. A definite place to sit down and play in for a good while.) * Club Sega Bayarea * An arcade with a wide range of skill levels, especially popular among intermediate players. (Ok....once you've had your fun in Downtown, this where you should head next to keep the good vibrations flowing. For the most part it's all intermediate players. There are a few beginners and advanced players roaming around in here, but they don't show up nearly half as often as the intermediate players do. Once you start finding the people here too easy for your own good, then you know your ready for the big leagues!) * Sega World Route 101 * A popular arcade with many players, ranging from novices to advanced competitors. (This place is a haven for majority advanced players than anything else. Yes you do have novices and intermediate players roaming about, but not that many as would be suggested. Still this is a good place to hone your skills further and push yourself into learning skills and tricks that you never thought possible. If you can't hang with the players in here, then you are going to have one tough time later on when trying to beat the even higher ranked players or tournaments.) * Sega Arena East * An arcade that attracts all skill levels for friendly competition. (The random melting pot of various skilled players, ranging from beginners to the elite. If you like sudden spikes in skill levels from your competition and never knowing what will be thrown at you next, then this place is the place to go. It's a great place to keep on your toes and to anticipate any kind of player that you will come across.) * Sega World South * An elite arcade frequented by many high-ranked players. (The cream of the crop in terms of players. This arcade houses what is considered to be the best of the best, and when you fight them, you'll see why. Only come to this place when you've mastered your character and developed your skills to knowing how to do many attacks for any and all situations thrown at you without getting stressed out or backing down.) - So there you have it. These are the arcades where you'll head out to to gather up the many things in Quest Mode. Good luck, and remember to develop your skills as you continue along with Quest Mode! *** Gaining Exprience *** - Well as I'm sure you've noticed, after fights, you fill your exprience meter located at the bottom of the screen. After filling it up, you're given an opportunity on your next fight to prove your ready to move on to the next title. In order to gain proper exprience, you have to fight players of a higher or equal value to you. First I'll explain things and how it works for the early titles from 10 kyu to 10 dan. Simply put, early on things are quite simple when leveling up and gaining exprience. Any competitor that you face will offer up some form of exprience to gain. What you should keep an eye out for is tougher, higher title players so that you gain more than the average sum of exprience in order to move up faster. The higher the title that you're going for, the longer it will take to gain that title as well. Once you've hit 10th Dan, you'll be in range for the "Ultimate Titles". These titles are not in the same respect as the kyu and dans in that these really sound like titles more than martial art ranking titles. Once you've reached 10th Dan, your meter should be at full to begin with, with only a little bit left to fill. The only way to level up at this point is to take a Master title from a Master player. This is easier said than done to say the least. Once you have successfully taken a Master's title and become a Master yourself, then you are now in line to fight the other "Ultimate Title" players yourself. Also, when you are a Master, you have to watch out for other 10th Dan fighters as well. If you lose to them, then you lose the Master title automatically, and they end up taking it. So once you've attained the title of Master, start leveling up quickly to the next title, so that you're now a cemented "Ultimate Title" player. "Ultimate Title" exprience gaining is far different than the simple kyu and dan leveling up. First off the only way to level up is by fighting either other "Ultimate Title" players of the same rank that you haven't defeated yet, or by fighting other "Ultimate Title" players of a higher rank than you. This is also where things get tricky. Should you lose to a player that is of lower rank than you, you can lose exprience and after awhile, be demoted to the last title you just held. So now you're basically playing for keeps. You don't want all that hard work you just spent to go to waste do you? So once you've reached an "Ultimate Title" position, you have to be on your game in full effect or else you'll stay in the low kyu and dan rankings forever. You can usually tell who will give you exprience by watching your bar just before the match begins. If it flashes, then that means you're able to get exprience from this player. This works on all titles no matter the placement. There is no quick and easy way to keep leveling up either. You just have to keep going through fight after fight and winning matches. If this were a Final Fantasy game, then of course there would be an easier way to level up. Sadly though, there's not. So until I figure out a fast, effective way of leveling up (especially at the "Ultimate Title" rankings), then you all have to do things the old fashioned way. *** Official Titles *** - Now I'm sure you are all wondering what the titles are that you can gain right? Well I'm going to tell you! First off, I'm putting down so far what I have ok, so bare with me as I'm still playing Quest Mode myself ok. Each title will place from the lowest to the highest. I will also put down which title moves on to what title as well so there's no confusion. *Lowest Rank Possible* 10th Kyu => 9th Kyu 9th Kyu => 8th Kyu 8th Kyu => 7th Kyu 7th Kyu => 6th Kyu 6th Kyu => 5th Kyu 5th Kyu => 4th Kyu 4th Kyu => 3rd Kyu 3rd Kyu => 2nd Kyu 2nd Kyu => 1st Kyu 1st Kyu => 1st Dan 1st Dan => 2nd Dan 2nd Dan => 3rd Dan 3rd Dan => 4th Dan 4th Dan => 5th Dan 5th Dan => 6th Dan 6th Dan => 7th Dan 7th Dan => 8th Dan 8th Dan => 9th Dan 9th Dan => 10th Dan *Highest Lower Tier Rank* 10th Dan = Master *Lowest Ultimate Tier Rank* Master => Warrior Warrior => Veteran Veteran => Gladiator Gladiator => Vindicator Vindicator => Avenger Avenger => Vanquisher Vanquisher => Conqueror Conqueror => ????? In order to gain each title successfully, look to the Gaining Exprience section in this chapter. *** The Opponents *** - Time to learn who you'll be facing out there! These players range from the embarrasingly crappy, to the godly elite. I will put down each arcade and what players inhabit that arcade, plus their ranking. Remember, the easiest player of that arcade is the first one, while the last player on the list of that arcade is the best one that you can find there. Also, when looking at the lists, you'll see stars placed beside player names. You may be asking yourself just what does that mean right? Well this means that you have defeated that player at least once already. You're looking to get a star up beside every player's name in order to get a 100% player list completion. So be prepared to spend some time hunting down certain players! (Now mind you I haven't unlocked all opponents just yet, but look for later updates for the complete list soon!) * Sega World North * PLAYER NAME RANK BiG's Ring 4th Dan Volmage 4th Dan Peebles 6th Dan Angry Fist 8th Dan Allossery 8th Dan SPICE5EVER 9th Dan Juko (SPA) 10th Dan Dani 10th Dan Slmageergian 10th Dan Iron Emu 10th Dan Eileen 10th Dan ??? ??? ??? ???

Some players only show up at tournament gatherings as well, so if you're looking for certain players, then try heading to a tournament or two to face them. There are two types of tournaments as well. The official tournaments held at the stadium on the map screen, and local arcade tournaments that have special rules. At these tournaments, you can walk away with prizes in hand depending on how well you do and where you place in the tournament. Naturally, a first place victory guarantees you the top prize. First lets take a look at the official tournaments. The official tournaments of the Quest Mode are (at least in my opinion) the means of winning the Quest Mode. There are a certain number of official tournaments that are played and once you've beat them all, you get a special credits screen showing you winning matches at the final tournament. You really don't get anything at these tournaments except the ability to go back and replay any of the tournaments that you've won at your leisure. You just get a small trophy by the side of the tournament you've won, showing that you are a champion in that respect. The list of official tournaments are as follows: Beginners' Try Participants: 8 Rounds: 3 Time: 45 Amateurs' Tournament Participants: 8 Rounds: 3 Time: 45 Challengers' Cup Participants: 16 Rounds: 3 Time: 45 Virtua Fighter Championship Participants: 16 Rounds: 3 Time: 45 VF Climax Participants: 16 Rounds: 3 Time: 45 VF Battle Masters Participants: 16 Rounds: 3 Time: 45 Virtua Fighter World Tournament Participants: 32 Rounds: 3 Time: 45 Virtua Fighter World Tournament Finals Participants: 32 Rounds: 3 Time: 45 As you can see, they all have a sense of structure to them, with the only exception of things that the higher up you go in status of tournament, the more participants there are. Now, the number of participants doesn't mean that you have to fight that many in order to win it all. It's done in a bracket style with that many players fighting. So for instance, if you were in the Beginners' Try tournament, there are eight participants. The first round is four matches with the winners moving to the next round of two matches, with those winners fighting in the finals. So in all, you'd fight three matches in total to win. The only tournament that doesn't go on your list is the Virtua Fighter World Tournament Finals. This is a special tournament that will give you an invitation to fight at it after awhile, and when you win, you have "won" at the Quest Mode. One of the perks though to starting up old tournaments from what I can tell is that you have the opportunity to weed out players that are hard to find in the arcades since they feel they're only good enough to play at tournaments. Now moving on to local arcade tournaments. These are special tournaments that offer up prizes to the winner. The prize is always stated before the tournament begins, so you know what you're fighting for ahead of time. Gold is usually a high amount in these tournaments, items are usually rare ones that can not be bought, and sometimes emblems are given away at these tournaments as well. Whatever the case may be, the biggest factor of these local tournaments is that they have their own random rules thrown in. So once a match starts, immedieately look up at the timer and round points to see how many rounds you have to fight in what amount of time they give you. Sometimes they make you fight for 5 rounds at 15 seconds each, basically asking you to try and deal more damage to your opponent in the little amount of time and get a default win. Other times you could be fighting for one round only but have a timer of 90 seconds to have a full match. Whatever the case may be, make sure to know what you're up against when you start the first match. Once you know what you're doing, it will stay that way the rest of the tournament, so don't worry about it changing constantly on you. Whenever a tournament is about to begin, you will be given an invitation message after you've won a match against a player during normal play. It will ask you if you wish to stop your current streak in order to go to the arcade or the stadium, wherever the tournament is being hosted at. If you choose yes, you are sent back to the map screen to head out to the tournament. If you choose no, you miss the tournament opportunity and continue fighting regular players till another tournament invitation shows up again. *** The Ins and Outs *** Here I'll explain the menus and such that are used within Quest Mode. You have to know how things work in order to stack things in your favor right? Well, lets get started! ** Home ** First things first....when you begin playing the game, you'll notice a house icon on the map screen labeled Home. This is where you'll keep track of all of your accomplishments, mess around with options, and check your status of all you've done so far. * Customize * The Customize menu is where you go to alter your character's costume and your Ring Name attributes. You can also access this on the Main Menu of the Main Screen. - Costume Settings When you select Costume Settings you'll have two options to choose from, Item edit and Main/Sub costume settings In Item edit, you can change the appearance of your character for any costume set you've unlocked with any items you've either bought or unlocked in Quest Mode. Just choose between Type A through D and the items you want to put on for that Type, then save changes and exit out. It's that simple. In the Main/Sub costume settings menu, you select which costume you want to use and which one you want to have on stand by. The main costume will always be on top, so the Type that you choose here will be the default costume. The default costume is always on A to start with. Whenever you fight an opponent that's using the same Type costume as you, or by changing the costume on the fly at the character select menu just before a fight, your costume Type will be that of the Sub costume. The Sub costume is always on B to start with. If you have trouble remembering what each costume looks like off the top of your head, don't worry. There are pictures of each costume Type that you've unlocked at the bottom of the screen to remind you. Just set them up and exit out of the menu to save. - Item Shop Here's where you'll spend quite alot of time in. The Item Shop holds up to at least 50% of the clothing items that you'll need to unlock for your character. Yes buying clothes here does count toward your overall unlock percentage for Items. As I said, about 50% is in this shop, and depending on the character you have, it could be more or less than 50%. This is also where you go to get Orb Discs. Check out the Tips and Tricks section for more info on the Orb Discs. Pretty much all you do is just save up some money earned in the Quest Mode, come here, and purchase items for use in your Costume Settings. - Change Ring Name Pretty much a no-brainer, this is what you use to change the tag name that you want to go by in game. Whatever you put here will be the name of the "character" you will use in Quest Mode and the name of the stats that go along with the character of the data you are using. - Personal Comment Settings This is what you will see in a versus match at the bottom of the screen just before a fight. In Quest Mode, you see this alot. While the game is loading it will show yours and your opponent's stats, the character they're using, and the comment they put to "intimdate" you just before a match. You have two lines of some limited space to play around with here, so don't try to be too elaborate when making a comment. A comment will also come up should you use data in a versus match against any other players that decide to come over your place for a few butt whoopings. - Emblem Settings Throughout the course of playing Quest Mode, you should see players with tiny emblems by their names during a match under their life bar. Those emblems can be used by you as well. This is where you go to set the emblem that you want to use, so long as you've unlocked it first. How do you unlock an emblem you ask? Hit up the Tips and Tricks section to find out! This is also where you can go to check to see which emblems you still haven't unlocked yet to getting the 100% Emblems collected. * Status * Here is where you go to check up on the amount of players defeated, items collected, and emblems collected. This also shows you just how much in total you have of Quest Mode completed. Though I think you techinically "win" at Quest Mode once you've defeated the Virtua Fighter 5 Tournament Finals in Quest Mode, it would seem that once you've done and collected everything that you've truely won at it. It also shows you your longest win streak that you managed to pull off in Quest Mode as well. From the Status screen, you also have access to the Player list and the Emblem list to view who you have defeated or earned and who you haven't defeated or earned yet. Trust me when I say that you'll be coming here often enough to check up on your progress. One thing that will piss you off....the very slow rise of any of the stats! Just be patient and you'll have 100% in no time. * Quest Settings * Here is where you can change the difficulty and the Commentary for the game. To be honest...I don't really see a difference when changing the difficulty between opponents. I just leave it on Normal and don't really bother with it. The Commentary is just that....commentary during a match. You can turn it on here and have some John Madden like announcers commenting how you are during the match, what you should do, etc. I find it annoying really, so I just leave it off as well. Having the Commentary on doesn't affect anything at all in game, so this is really a personal preference. * Save * You have to save the game some time, and here is where you go to do it. Make sure to save quite often in Quest Mode so you don't lose those precious wins over opponents that you just knocked the crap out of the first time. No sense in going back to do the work over again right? *** Tips and Tricks *** * The Sega Balloon * During the course of your Quest Mode fighting, you should eventually notice a hot air balloon fly across the map screen, usually starting in the upper right corner. This is a good sign! When the hot air balloon is visible on the map screen, go into an arcade, and the next 10 fights you are in will be Item Battles. In the beginning when you have next no items, you can easily rack up on small time to rare items with this. When you hit the later stages of your Quest Mode, this is the best way to haul in some money. The Sega Balloon doesn't show up often, and it is random. Also, don't enter any tournaments when you do get the balloon trick going or else your run will end right then and there. You have to keep winning in order to keep the 10 Item Battles going, so don't quit or lose during the run! * Arcade Tournaments * I know I know...why isn't this in the Tournaments part right? Well that was to discuss them to let you know the rules and such. This is where you can learn about taking advantage of the arcade rules for yourself. As I've stated before, when an invitation to an arcade tournament arrives to you, the tournament is usually govern by a set of custom rules. These rules vary from tournament to tournament and is not usually the fault of the arcade you are going to. These are the types that I've seen the most so far: = Normal Tournament = This tournament goes by the normal set of default rules that you usually go by while playing normally. This means that the clock is set at 45 seconds per round, and goes for 3 rounds to win in total. = Quick Draw Tournament = This tournament is basically to see who can inflict the most damage the fastest before time is up. The clock is set to 15 seconds, which doesn't give you too much time to sit and think. You have to be quick to get the most health knocked off of your opponent and keep yours from being taken away as well. The time limit here is 15 seconds for 5 rounds to win in total. = One Shot Tournament = This tournament is basically an all or nothing type of deal. You have one round to win with clock set to high. You can pace yourself alittle bit and attack when you feel comfortable, but trying to let the clock run out is out of the question. The time limit here is 60 seconds for 1 round to win in total. = Master Quick Draw Tournament = After playing alittle bit more into the Quest Mode, I found a tournament with the same rules as Quick Draw, only at three rounds! That means you really have to watch what you do here to win. The other thing is that you have a stacked roster of Conqueror players from the Special list. That means that while you can earn some emblems held only by them, you're going to have one hell of a time trying to win this thing. So do what you can and hold tough! If you manage to win at this, you earned it! So, how do you go about winning these things in style? Well that's what we are here to tell you! And yes I do mean we....though I'll list all of my thoughts and such to winning these tournaments, they may not be your cup of tea. You yourself may have a way of winning one of these custom tournaments and if you e-mail me your tip for this, I'll make sure that proper credit is given to you here. So don't leave all of us hanging! Help out if you know a trick or two! = Normal Tournament = - For the most part I treat these tournaments as I would a normal versus match in the Quest Mode. There's not too much that you can do other than use the strategy that you have used to keep your wins higher than your losses during Quest Mode. = Quick Draw Tournament/Master Quick Draw Tournament = - One effective way I've found to winning these things is by using long drawn out throw moves. El Blaze for instance. He has a few throw moves that require him to move about and take his time before inflicting the damage on the opponent. Using these throw moves once you've knocked off some of your opponent's health, helps to keep you ahead and also helps to draining the timer down, leaving your opponent with little to do anything with. - If you are playing on a fenceless stage, try anything that you can to push your opponent off the edge to get a ring out victory. It sounds cheesy, but I mean seriously....you're here to win this thing right? You'd be surprised how easy it is to win a round in a tournament like this, so take as many shortcuts as you can. - Turtle fighting sort of helps out here as well. If you're fighting in like the lower kyu's and dan's then this should be a very effective strategy. Using this in the Ultimate Title fights though may not prove to work so well. I say this because the Ultimate Title fighters will grab you and easily break your blocking habit in no time. So use this technique sparringly when you reach those higher levels. - The always effective run like a pansy helps out tons in this kind of tournament. If you're using El Blaze, then you're really going to love these tournaments. By hitting the opponent a few times in the beginning, making sure that their health is lower than yours, you can now dodge and keep the distance between the two of you til the timer runs out. With El Blaze, this is far easier since he is able to turn around and run away with ease. Remember, the timer is your friend when using this strategy. So put that cape on and run like the PansyMan that you are! = One Shot Tournament = - Pretty much you can use your same strategy that you use in the Normal Tournament. Sometimes I use a blistering pressure offense in order to win these things and hurry the tournament along. Now I have lost doing this as well. You may want to gauge your enemy sometimes before pushing a huge offensive on them. - A strong defense is sometimes better than a strong offense. By watching your opponent and cherry picking the right times to attack, you can slowly dwindle their health down til you've won the match. In this sense, using a character that has a huge counter ability going for them will find winning these kind of tournaments much easier than others. - Once again, take advantage of fenceless stages! This is a winner take all tournament with no room to make up for a lost round in. Get those opponents of yours near the edge and cheese your way to victory! *** Orb Discs *** Ok....you're wondering how Orb Discs work, what they do, how to get more, and so on and so on right? Well this is the place to find out! First off when start a new Quest Mode with a character, they start off with an Orb Disc. This good in the sense that you don't have to buy your first one. So how do you fill it up? Well you have to go around to the arcades and earn orbs in the Item Battles. You can never tell if you're fighting for an orb during an item battle, but majority of the time while you're holding an orb disc, it'll be an orb. So when you get ahold of 7 orbs, you'll see a small cutscene of the orbs glowing and then shoot into the sky, causing a dragon to appear. Pretty familiar scene right? ahem (Dragonball) ahem Once you have seen this scene you will either of earned a new costume piece, or one of your Costume Sets. Early on you'll earn the new Costume Set to use so really after you've earned that, you'll just be earning costume pieces. These are pieces that can't be bought and are considered rare. You know you've earned the last piece when you can't buy anymore Orb Discs. To buy Orb Discs, just go to the Item Shop and it will be the last category that you can select. So long as there's still an item to be earned from the Orb Discs, then they will still be available. Each character is different in that the amount of Orb Discs available for use varies. This means that while you may be able to unlock items with 15 Orb Discs for one character, doesn't mean that the next one will be 15 as well. So you just have to keep buying and earning til it doesn't allow you to buy anymore. *** Emblem Unlocking *** Now here's one of those annoying things to hunt down....emblems. In a way, it's not so bad in the fact that while you're trying to get 100% player list completion, you will be earning the emblems as well. In order to earn an emblem first you have to find a player that has that emblem. You can tell if they do if you see it just under their life bar during a fight. This will be the emblem you will earn should you win the fight against them. Everytime you win an emblem, when you go back to the main screen to choose another arcade or go save, a pop up screen will come up just before you can leave the arcade you're in, showing you what emblems you earned while fighting. You can only set emblems for your own use only if you've unlocked them. If you fought a guy and they won the fight, you haven't earned the emblem then. So when you see one that you haven't unlocked yet, fight for all that your worth! Another way to earning emblems is through Arcade Tournaments. Sometimes the tournament will hold the first place prize as an emblem. This is usually held by a player that's rare or hard to find in the regular arcades, so this could very well be your only chance to getting this emblem until another tournament begins or you manage to find them in the arcades. *** Making Money *** I'm sure everyone that checks out this guide for the section on Quest Mode is wondering just how in the hell can they earn some easy and fast money? Well.....you can't. There are ways of going about getting some money and I'm here to tell you all about those methods. First off there's the ever obvious earning them in the Item Battles. During some Item Battles you can earn money. This is a bit tricky to get in the beginning, especially when you're dealing with alot of low level costume items and Orb Discs. When you don't have an Orb Disc in your possession, then most of the Item Battles will be fought for money. So basically the more clothing that you earn and the faster you get Orb Discs out of the way, the more abundant that you will get money from Item Battles than anything else. Another easy way is by joining Arcade Tournaments. Once again, if you are starting off and don't have any emblems, you will be plagued with tournaments that are using the emblem as its grand prize. If you want the money rather than the emblem, then on the final fight of the tournament, lose on purpose and fight the other runner-up for the second place prize of the most amount of money. Now when you go up in rank and have less emblem hunting to deal with, then you'll be placed in tournaments that have huge monetary winnings. So try to collect emblems as fast as you can in the beginning! One way you can some really cheap cash is by losing. Check out the Win or Lose section for more on this. Whenever you find a Sega Balloon floating around, go into an arcade and start taking advantage of this. If you don't have to use anymore Orb Discs, usually have a high percentage of items earned, and have a high rank, then your earnings from the next ten fights should put you up there since all you to win from these 10 fights will mainly be money. Whenever I can manage to find ways of earning a slew of money really fast, then I'll make sure to let you all know. I'll also post up other ways that I've found to earning money in this game as well, even if it's slow. *** Win or Lose *** Now you may be asking yourself, what does this section have to do with anything? Well I'm here to tell you the ups and downs of winning and losing. Now I know you're saying "Oh c'mon...what can be so bad about winning?" Well, listen and you'll find out. First off lets talk about winning. Naturally you always want to win. You want to earn exprience and move on to the next level and so forth. But, what if when you won a match, you lost exprience points? That's right. I've seen it happen before too. By taking on an opponent that's of an incredibly huge gap in title ranking, you can lose exprience. I don't know if this is because you're just taking advantage of this person or that you are really fighting outside of your skill level, but it does happen from time to time. So you're saying "What should I do to stop this? I need to beat this guy since I have to move on to the next one for a Sega Balloon challenge, or I haven't beat him yet!" Well you're just going to have to take the hit in those cases. If you don't have to win the match, then just quit. Find out more about quitting safely in the Quick Arcade Search section. Now, as far as winning goes when it benefits you, by all means win! If you see your exprience bar flash or you know this is for an item that's rare...then win dammit! Your stats will always look better with a high win column! Now moving on to losing. No one wants to lose a match. It sucks to lose. So how is it that you can earn anything from losing? Well the makers of this game decided that even though you lost the match, you're not walking away empty handed. That's right. You earn money for losing! Now it's a measely chump change 50, but if you make a habit of losing on purpose....then you see where I'm going with this. The bad thing is that you lose exprience fast if get on a losing streak! The more you lose, the faster your exprience drops, and eventually you're saying good bye to that rank you worked so hard to get. So when is this acceptable to do? Maybe in the beginning when you first start playing? If you seriously have the patience to sit down and rack up a huge loss streak to earn fast easy money....then that's totally your thing. *** Accessing the Special Arcade fighters *** Now I'm sure that when you've checked your listings for your player list, you've seen that one list that says Special. You've probably told yourself that this list has to have the best of the best on it. You sir are correct. But how do you go about fighting the people on this list in the first place? There's no special arcade on the map. So how do I find these people and bring them to their knees? Well first thing's first. You have to first reach the level of Master, the lowest tier rank for the Ultimate Titles. This shows that you're ready to play with the big boys! Once you've attained the rank of Master, Special Arcade fighters will start to randomly appear in the various arcades on the map. You can never tell who will show up where at first, but when you first fight a Special Arcade fighter at a certain arcade, then they will most likely reappear there in the future more often than other arcades. They all skip around to various arcades, but they all do have a tendency to favor one certain arcade. So moving about and hunting them all down will be hard on you to do, especially with the arcades themselves offering up players you haven't fought yet either. Most of the time, Specials will show up in tournaments as well. So basically, whenever you find a Special, pursue them til you defeat them. You never know when you'll get another chance at fighting them again! *** Treasure Chest Icons *** Ok....this wasn't originally planned to be put in, but I know some dumb fool is going to ask me "Durrrr....what does each color mean when you see the Treasure Chest come up?" and I'm going to say "Dumbass...read my walkthrough. I already answered this there." So here it is. It's really simple actually. First off lets talk about the Treasure Chest Dragon and Tiger Icon. The Dragon and Tiger Icon will come up in 3 different colors from what I've seen so far. The colors are Silver, Gold, and Dynamic Color. The Silver logo means that simple item will be won from this battle, like money, or a very cheap costume item, or an orb. A gold logo means that there's a much better item to be had with a win in this fight, such as a bigger amount of gold or a much better costume item. Now a Dynamic Color icon can be told as such....it will be in a shiny real time color of the dragon and tiger, and the tribal all around them will be a mixture of silver and gold lines. This means that the Dragon will be green and detailed and the Tiger will be orange and detailed. The only item I've won from a fight like this is a rare and hard to obtain costume item such as the Hand Green Light Plate. Now you may be wondering about those jewel icons when you win a costume item as well. Well this is simple too. Emerald items are the cheaper, easier to obtain items. These are the items that will probably be an off color like purple or green or yellow for like an clothing piece that no one really cares about too much like a belt. Ruby items are the medium ranged items that you'll find more enjoyment out of probably, such a new set of pants or a shirt or special mask that you can use depending on the character you are using. Now Diamond items are the cream of the crop! When you hit the rank of Master for the first time, you're given the opportunity to win a Hand Green Light Plate. This is a Diamond Item. Much more flamboyant or detailed and better colored pieces of clothing also fall under this category of Diamond Item. These are extremely hard to come by and when you get the opportunity to take one...you better not lose the fight! *** Quick Arcade Search *** The Quick Arcade Search is a means of hunting down players in arcades that you haven't fought yet without delibrately losing in a match to leave, or without having to wait for an invitation to a tournament to stop you. This is also where I will tell you how to go about hunting down players that you don't have a star on them yet too. First off, you want to just leave already and stop fighting the same people that you beat over and over and over...but you don't want to lose in the match to give yourself a loss on your record. Well just as the announcer is telling you the round, get ready to hit start. When he says Fight! hit start and just quit back to the arcade screen. Don't let the match begin, don't do anything, just hit start and quit to the arcade screen. This will let you leave the streak you're on without costing you a loss. Now as you're looking at the three arcade machines that have players on them, you're saying to yourself "Dammit...I've already beat these guys! I want to play against people I haven't seen yet!" Well by exiting and entering into the arcade, you will reset the machines with new players on them. This is how you will go about hunting down all the players in order to get a 100% completion. Just keep leaving and coming in to the arcade til you see a player's name show up without a star by it and take them out! So there you have it. All you have to do is combine the two of these together and you have the means to getting the entire list for an arcade completed. Just fight the guy that you haven't fought before, win, wait for the next fight to load, quit immedieately, check to see if you have defeated that person you just quit on (because when you get back to the arcade screen it will show that person you quit on at the arcade machine you just left), and if you have, and the other two machines have players you defeated also, then exit the arcade and go right back in, repeating til you get a player to show up that doesn't have a star by his name. Simple right? 7) Cheats, Secrets, and Such Welp, as you all know, this game isn't without it's little easter eggs, cheats, or the like. Here I will list everything that you can earn or see in this game. Some may already have shown up in other parts of the guide, but if some people weren't idiots and seen that, then I wouldn't have to repeat myself. So for convienence, I'll list them here too! I'm such a nice guy sometimes.... * Old School Sega! * For those of you who have been gaming for a good long time like myself, and can remember the old Atari, Nintendo, and Sega systems...then this is a nice trip down memory lane. After you do the intial save game data load when you start up the game, hold the O button while it loads up and keep holding til it reaches the Sega logo screen. You should hear the old "SEGA!!!!" from the Genesis games. * The Sega Balloon * Now I know I mentioned this in the Quest Mode section, but people will still look here wondering why it's not here and how to get it to show. For starters you can't make it show up when you want. It's a random event that happens only on the Quest Mode Map Screen. For more information, check out The Sega Balloon section in the Quest Mode section. * Unlocking Dural * Ok....yes you can unlock Dural in this game. Now the only downside is that you can't use her in Quest Mode or unlock costumes and such for her. What you see is what you get. Now to unlock her, you have to first win at Arcade Mode with every single character on the roster. You don't have to beat Dural at the end of Arcade Mode either. You just have to complete Arcade Mode on any difficulty with all the characters. When you've done so, you should get a confirmation message letting you know you've unlocked her. To use her, just hit down underneath anyone on the bottom row, and she will appear. She can only be used in Arcade Mode, Dojo, and Versus, and can't have Data made for her either. * Various Background Trivia * From time to time I will notice things in the background of games and say "Hey....that's pretty cool...I wonder if other people saw that too?" Well here is a spot that will constantly updated with things that I see in the backgrounds of this game. If you want to contribute to this as well, then just e-mail me with the info of what you saw and I'll give you the creds and place it in here for all to see. - In the background of El Blaze's stage Arena, the scrolling sign is saying "Excitement and invigoration are offered to all men." * Unlocking Costumes C and D * Well you didn't think you just had the two starter outfits for all the characters did you? This game has two more sets that you can use should you unlock them. They have their own items that can be bought for them as well so don't think that it's a simple one time earned thing! To get Costume C all you have to do is keep leveling up your character in Quest Mode, til you reach 1st Dan. Once you do so, you should have a confirmation message show up that says you've earned the costume. To get Costume D, just complete your first Orb Disc and you should have it. Maybe that's the reason why the first disc was free huh? * Watch Mode * Tired of fighting yourself and you just want to watch the characters go at it without you worrying about getting up each time to choose a match over and over? Well this nifty little secret allows you to put the game into Watch Mode, so you can just sit back and enjoy some primo matches of the computer going at itself without lag or on easy. Just premium fighting for your entertainment until you say you've had enough watching and want to start playing. First go into VF TV and select Exhibition Match. When you can select the characters, press and hold L1 and R1 and press X. You should hear a confirmation tone that lets you know that you did it correctly. From hear on out...just sit back and enjoy the show! * Unlocking the Dojo Stages * So you want to play against your friends in the Dojo huh? Well ok. It's real simple to do. First off you have to earn them. This can be done by completing a Time Attack. To enter a Time Attack, start up Command Training and you should get the option to begin a Time Attack session. Basically just do what it tells you til you win. There's no time limit to beat. You should get a confirmation message letting you know you won the two stages after you complete a Time Attack. Now you have them available for use in Versus Mode. * Playing Route B in Arcade Mode * You do know that there's another set of players that can be fought in Arcade Mode right? Well when you get the question of the character that you are choosing is correct (the Yes or No part), hold down either the G button or the P button until your first match begins. You should now be on a new set of enemies leading up to Akira than the normal bunch you see often enough. * Custom Characters in VF TV * Pretty much an Easter Egg of sorts to play around with, the costume that you spent so much time making and pimping out for El Blaze, Wolf, and Eileen can be shown in their demo movies. This is the Main Costume for the Data of those characters that you saved. In order to view this, first go into VF TV and then select Movie Theater. On either the El Blaze or Eileen Demos hold Left on the D-Pad and then hit X. You should hear a confirmation tone if done correctly. Now you can watch the movies again, only with your custom costume on the characters now. * Downloading the Soundtrack * Yeah...you can thank me later for hunting this down over the net. It took a good long time before I found this place, and a little while longer to figure the site out and learn how to use it properly. So here is the link to the Virtua Fighter 5 soundtrack. I'd grab it before the person who uploaded it decides to take it down! If that does happen, do let me know so I can try and figure out a way to uploading the soundtrack myself for all to enjoy. http://www.filefactory.com/file/228e96/ My only complaint....it didn't have the Character Select song in it! * Knowing Your Virtua Fighter and Where to go for It * I'll bet you were all think to yourselves "What the hell is talking about?" well what I'm talking about is the website! The official website for all you need on Virtua Fighter is here. Check it out sometime. http://www.sega.com/gamesite/vf5/phase2/index.html 8) User Character Tactics Ahhhh....the final chapter of this glorious guide of mine....to think I finally made it this far. This part though isn't written entirely by me... This part is written by all of you! That's right....no matter what I say or do to tell you things about characters or explaining their ins and outs, everyone has their own style and their own way doing things with each character. In that respect I give to all of you this section. E-mail in your tips, tricks, and fighting techs that you find to be useful for the given character in the given situation you're in. For examples, goto El Blaze's section in here. That's my main guy in this game, so you can bet that I'll leave up quite a few tips for him that I find. The only way this section can get bigger, is by all of you, so flood my e-mail box ok! I know it's at the top, but for convienence my e-mail is: [email protected] I will give full credit to you that send in your tips and tricks, so be a pal and help out those around you by contributing to this guide! * Akira * - (Here is an Akira tip, brought to you by the one and only Gil Morrison) Tip description: Akira advanced techiniques for versus fighting Joker is right folks. Akira is a hardcore character to master. Unless you've played as him before to some length in other Virtua Fighters then expect to look like a lumbering oaf in VF5. The Dojo will be your best friend in beginning to understand Akira. Practice his commands every time you start up the game so you don't forget his most basic moves. His jumping double kick is a great way to catch your opponents off-guard at the start of the fight, but don't use it too heavily...people will notice a pattern. Mostly you'll be relying on his devastating assortment of lunging punches and shoulder blows. The P+K combos will be your best friends. You can chain most of them. Land five of them in a row and there goes half of the poor sap's life your fighting against. The most useful of these I've found is the =>P+K | PP. If you don't land the first punch then you'll be side stepping before your opponent can hit you. Another similar combo is <= \ P | PP. The first strike may be harder to pull of but is much more powerful. Use the "auto-side steps" to make your own combos. Instead of "PP" at the end, throw after the side step. Akira's throws are usually not recommended unless the enemy is stunned, though some can be very useful for ring outs or massive damage in enclosed arenas. Don't neglect his | | P+K either. It results in a knockdown and allows you to recompose yourself in hairy encounters. And never forget to practice your counters over and over again!!!! For 360 owners playing online with Akira can be frustrating because most other characters are much easier to use. My first 3 days playing online have been filled with cheap wins by people playing as faster, more user friendly fighters like Jackie, Sarah, Pai, Lau, Lei Fei, Eileen, and Brad. Don't get discouraged. Just know that they are taking the path of least resistance and that someday you will house them without being touched. Anyone can hit the kick button five times in a row. To see an experienced Akira player fight is a thing of beauty and is to be respected. Not to mention rare. Out of all fighters I see Akira used the least online. P.S. If your a Street Fighter fan you can make Akira look like Akuma. You can even give him red eyes! * El Blaze * - From: Alex "Sanctuary Remix" Hall Tip Description: Using El Blaze in Quest Mode or against human players When you use El Blaze in Quest Mode, you have to remember that he is an offensive blitz machine. I've found that in the later difficulties of the high Dans and the Ultimate Ranks by using his Burnout Combo into Rocket Discharge into Deja Vu is an extremely effective tactic. What I mean by this is this. At the higher levels, the computer will block you crazily. They love to counter and hit you fast should you try to grab them. So, with that said, if you use the Burnout Combo, you hit them fast and either they take the punches, or block them. This you shouldn't care about though hitting with the punches is an added bonus should they land. What you want is for them to block the kick at the end of the combo. This allows El Blaze to go into his Rocket Discharge. Since he's running full force at the opponent at point blank range, immedieately go for a grab since they should still be blocking while in Rocket Discharge. You should then hit them with the Deja Vu. This one move takes off quite a bit of health and when used constantly over and over against the computer, you should be racking up the wins with little to no hassle so long as you keep the pressure going against them. Remember this move set as your main weapon! This also comes in handy for Quick Draw Tournaments as well, eating up alot of health from the opponent and taking away alot of time as well, almost ensuring your victory should you run away the rest of the time. * Eileen * * Pai Chan * * Lei-Fei * * Aoi Umenokouji * * Goh Hinogami * * Kage-Maru * * Sarah Bryant * * Jacky Bryant * * Brad Burns * * Shun-Di * * Lau Chan * * Jeffry McWild * * Vanessa Lewis * * Wolf Hawkfield * * Lion Rafale * * Dural * 9) Credits - First and foremost I give credit to Sega for coming out with one kick ass fighter. I've never been so jaw dropped before by a fighting game with all that it shows off. I'm still going strong with it, so I think I'm now turning into a Virtua Fighter fan! Way to go Sega, by making an addictive game like this! - Secondly I'd like to give creds to all of those out there that asked for me to come back and make more walkthroughs. You have no clue how much I missed doing these, and just because I'm in the Marines, doesn't mean I have to retire from walkthrough writing! Thank you for all the support and e-mails that all of you have sent telling me how good my past walkthroughs were and that you all wanted to see more. Without the support, I think the drive and the love for walkthrough writing would of left me a long time ago. - Next up I give credit to myself for spending long nights and many months just working on this guide alone. The one that's out on store shelves right now is crap, and this game just deserves a rightfully made guide....I just pray and hope that I lived up to the expectations of everyone that reads this. I know that without a shadow of a doubt though, this guide is by far my best work yet to this date. I'm incredibly happy with its progress and even more happy with how it has turned out. At this point in time I know there is still much more to go to getting that final version stamp, but with what is given alone, gamers should be able to do more than just the basics in this game. I know that I will make many more in the years to come, and I can only hope that I achieve the same degree of greatness with those guides that I know I did with this guide. - If there's anything that you wish to add or correct in my walkthrough, then by all means, shoot me an e-mail at [email protected]. I'll take your comments and concerns seriously and get back to you as fast as I can. You will be given the proper credit as well for contributing to my guide. Thanks again, and I'll sees yas all later! Alex "Joker" Hall Sanctuary Remix
