Day 1 for a new VF

 

[SSfox]

OMFG LETS FUCKING GOO

I WANT TO SEE MORE SPECIALLY SHUN CAN'T WAIT

FINALLY A TRUE MARTIAL ARTS GAME.
THE GAME THAT WILL HEAL THE WORLD

 

[NeverYouMind]

The R.E.V.O. Beta is pretty great. Weird that there is no quick match or side preference options but responsiveness seems good on my end.

 

[BigDeadFreak]

I wish I was good at this game. By the time the series got going most of my friends had moved on from fighting games or were playing Tekken so I never had a serious sparing partner. Everyone online was a million times better than me so that was a bit of a dead end too.

 

[Cakeboxer]

I BETTER NOT SEE ANY FUCKING EX OR SUPER BARS! ONE BAR! THE HEALTH BAR!

AND
NO
FUCKING
DESPERATION
MOVES!

And not 37+ hit combos.

There are players of all levels in the VF5 R.E.V.O. Beta on Steam. I completely steamrolled someone and then got decisively wrecked by another. It is free to try...

 

[HerjansEagleFeeder]

Finally.

 

[RetroGamingUK]

So this is VF6, right?

 

[Crayon]

Amazing.

There better not be any meters. That shit will break my heart.

 

[JohnSpartanLee]

It'll be great and everyone will play it for like a month before returning to SF & Tekken.

 

[NeverYouMind]

It'll be great and everyone will play it for like a month before returning to SF & Tekken.

I am long done with Street Fighter 6 (it got old after a week). The recent change in direction for Tekken 8 DLC-wise is probably going to make me stop playing it to avoid negativity. Might just stick with Virtua Fighter if those are my only options.

 

[RetroGamingUK]

Sarah's leg blocks look cool

I wonder how stage interaction will work

 

[GinSama]

Out of nowhere ??!?! At least I had no ideia about a return....

Those Akira new clothes looks cool as fuck.

 

[SHA]

Fighting games to me as strong as cocaine.

 

[MMaRsu]

Reading the ResetERA thread and I knew when the Prince of Saudi Arabia showed up it'd trigger some people there.

Hypothesis was proven correct. Just funny to see. "My claimed political enemies can't like the same games I like!!" or something.

Need to take my ass to bed.

Not sure what politics have to do with human rights but aight weird flex

 

[Mister Wolf]

Sarah's leg blocks look cool

I wonder how stage interaction will work

I wonder how much it would hurt getting shoulder checked by a Bajiquan master

 

[BlackTron]

Did this gen just actually start for real?

 

[MMaRsu]

I wish I was at home to play VF5 Revo.....

 

[NeverYouMind]

I wonder how much it would hurt getting shoulder checked by a Bajiquan master

Immediate tap out. The original practitioner is said to not have known what it was like to hit a man twice.

 

[RetroGamingUK]

Character models looking good so far

VF5 Final Showdown for comparison:

 

[Team Andromeda]

Looks great, can't wait to see more

 

[Geometric-Crusher]

Nice ! Only thing better would be a new sega console

A new Sega console appears to be coming , If this game was released on the generic consoles we know, SEGA would have said so.

 

[sncvsrtoip]

Brief gameplay moment looks promising.

 

[Darsxx82]

I'm hugely excited about the announcement and also more for what was shown........ but a little downed because everything points to it being a game to be released in 2026+

 

[cireza]

 

[Soltype]

Character models looking good so far

VF5 Final Showdown for comparison:

Just noticed her name is stella, that's not Sarah.

 

[cireza]

Just noticed her name is stella, that's not Sarah.

Also noticed that she is a bridge. A very unusual bridge.

 

[JohnSpartanLee]

I am long done with Street Fighter 6 (it got old after a week). The recent change in direction for Tekken 8 DLC-wise is probably going to make me stop playing it to avoid negativity. Might just stick with Virtua Fighter if those are my only options.

I'll definitely buy this but so far I've always got bored by any VF after a few weeks.

Still looking forward to this a lot also due to nostalgia (been playing this series since 1996 starting with Virtua Fighter PC).

 

[skyfinch]

If all I get are sequels to Sega arcade games for the rest of my gaming days, I'll die a happy man.

I'll even be happy with 4k remasters of all Sega arcade games.

 

[ManaByte]

Sega just announced a new Virtua Fighter right in Harada's face.

 

[John Bilbo]

Pre-purchased and signed for the beta.

 

[U n i o n 0015]

Just noticed her name is stella, that's not Sarah.

I'm calling it now, they're adding a multiverse shenanigans story to VF, like Dural's organization rips a tear in the universe and brings all these alternate Akiras and Sarahs and Jackys.

 

[RetroAV]

I'm calling it now, they're adding a multiverse shenanigans story to VF, like Dural's organization rips a tear in the universe and brings all these alternate Akiras and Sarahs and Jackys.

Why stop there? Why not include Eternal Champions, Fighting Vipers, Last Bronx, Streets of Rage characters etc. as well?

 

[Arcane0ne]

F*cking day one 6 and 5 revo. Im playing today and works really fine.

 

[Rat Rage]

I BETTER NOT SEE ANY FUCKING EX OR SUPER BARS! ONE BAR! THE HEALTH BAR!

AND
NO
FUCKING
DESPERATION
MOVES!

So much this. Super moves have ruined modern fighting games.

 

[kunonabi]

So happy to have VF back. Looks like they'll be building on vf3's environments instead of the same boring rings they backtracked to.

 

[MMaRsu]

How's the beta for 5? How many characters/stages etc?

 

[Klosshufvud]

The R.E.V.O. Beta is pretty great. Weird that there is no quick match or side preference options but responsiveness seems good on my end.

I love it so much. Awesome netplay. Visuals and gameplay feels great thus far. So many options too and very snappy in general. After T8 making everything as cumbersome as possible, this is a breath of fresh air.

 

[Chupanibre]

They need to keep Jackie's original nasally, whiny voice. That's the one thing I'm concerned about.

 

[saintjules]

 

[NeverYouMind]

How's the beta for 5? How many characters/stages etc?

Good? 19 characters with their own stages (plus Dural stage).

They need to keep Jackie's original nasally, whiny voice. That's the one thing I'm concerned about.

Leave that to Lion.

 

[Saber]

This looks cooooool

 

[Geometric-Crusher]

Good? 19 characters with their own stages (plus Dural stage).

we were talking about how VF6 should be, I still think it needs a hot character but honestly I'm impressed with the direction RGG has taken.

 

[Rising_Hei]

I can't believe this is happening; I hope it innovates somehow because fighting games are always "samey."

 

[Insane Metal]

I fucking called it!

Awesome.

 

[thatsafakewebsitebro]

VF at EVO is gonna be so lit. I love seeing high level VF. There's nothing like it.

 

[MiguelItUp]

This announcement drove me crazy. Day 1 like a MF!

 

[DeVeAn]

They need to keep Jackie's original nasally, whiny voice. That's the one thing I'm concerned about.

I'm faster than lightning!

Edit: But can't spell!

 

[Chupanibre]

I'm faster than lighting!

Yeah!
