Well since there are DOA 4, Tekken 6 and Soul Calibur 4 threads, then why not a Virtua Fighter 5 thread.

VF5 has been rated as one of the best fighting games ever and here are some intros.

VF5 has got the same button layout like DO4 but insted of the x button is used to guard not counter and its y button for punch and b button to kick

DOA was based on VF BTW

In VF a rookie like yourself would never beat a master like me due to its gameplay engine and you can button mash as much as you can and you wont come out on top.

As for Jacky Bryant, he is around low to mid tier and is one of the most noob friendly characters to 1st play with due to his awesome fighting style Jeet Kune Do.
His attacks and movement are very fast just like Jann Lee from DOA and he's one on my favourite characters btw.

Take a look yourself - Jacky vs Lei Fei

yeah, if I had to pick someone else it would be LeiFei.. I usually just stand in tree stance til my opponent does something dumb

Very fun game and one of my most fav. fighting games too. I only have the 360 version but thats kinda good since its version C. The characters I play are Aoi and Vanessa (Aoi is my main and Vanessa is my secondary). I'm not the best player but I try lol. I still need some work to do XP

Vanessa is my anal queen. *smacks NASA away*

I'll probably get this game for xmas, I enjoyed the demo.

SaTsuJiN
I would pick this up, except theres no one to play against IRL here, because none of my friends like VF.. and I dont like to play fighting games online because all people do is act like they're the shit, cursing randomly like they have yet to grow up

My idea of an great match is something like this :

A.) good player vs sucky player - noone says anything, just plays.. fight ends.. "GG"

B.) good player vs player who wipes the floor with everyone - noone says anything, just plays.. fight ends.. "GG"

but we all know thats not how anyone on xbox live acts

I say GG, but mostly if the other person has a mic too and doesn't try to start something. I've seen some others that are polite as well. But with my luck, I don't find many XP

They also released an item pack for download (3 items for each character). Hopefully they will release more soon. ^_^

Sado-sama
N03S they look like polished wax! mad

And to be honest...I don't know any game that is/will be on both the PS3 and 360 that has better visuals on the 360. Why would it if PS3 technically has a greater potential for nice visuals?

Blax_Hydralisk
Those graphics look sub-par, really.

Sado-sama
As for my last comment, Assassin's Creed is rumored to look better on the 360 (not in terms of specs, but in contrast) so go lose some weight Fatsican.

VF5 Plot

All of the sought after invitations for the Fifth World Fighting Tournament have been sent and now the 17 best fighters in the world begin their final phases of preparation. They must learn from their prior mistakes and perfect every aspect of their mind, body, and soul - for there is no room for mistakes in this competition. Little do they know that J6, the organization funding the tournament, has sinister ulteriour motives for the contest and the company's top secret Dural program is already well underway. In the organization's quest for world domination, the scientists at J6 are creating the ultimate fighting machine with human features. Their first model was defeated in the Fourth World Fighting Tournament, which drove them to kidnap Vanessa. She was able to escape with the help of an insider, but not before they captured her combat data and transferred it to the new advanced Dural model named V-Dural.

J6 is determined to find out who the inside traitor is that released Vanessa and more importantly, if V-Dural is indeed ready to defeat the world's best fighters. The Fifth World Fighting Tournament will reveal both - let it begin.

Two new characters are featured in Virtua Fighter 5. The first character, Eileen, is a young girl who uses Monkey Kung Fu and enters the tournament to face her idol, Pai, whom she saw at a martial arts demonstration prior to the fifth tournament. The second character is El Blaze, a lucha libre wrestler who wishes to defeat Wolf Hawkfield.

Gameplay

Throw speed has been reduced, from 8 frames to 12 frames. In addition, "Instant", or 0-frame throws re-appear from Virtua Fighter 3 in guaranteed throw situations (such as during an evade).
To encourage a more "moral" style of play, Sega introduce the Clash System: when initiated with the right timing, an attack can be canceled out with a throw, creating a clash and leaving both players at +0 frame advantage (neutral).

Offensive Move: pressing Punch + Kick + Guard during an evade will initiate an angled forward dash. In addition, pressing Punch or Kick during OM will initiate an attack which can lead to side or back stagger or crumple, leading to a guaranteed combo opportunity.

The Xbox 360 version introduced online support via Xbox Live, which allowed two players from around the world to battle it out over the internet. Developers have also suggested that the PS3 version could also be online-enabled in the form of a downloadable patch.

Version C of Virtua Fighter 5 will be used for the 360 version which fixes up some gameplay issues, while the PS3 version used version B.
Different items are available in the XBOX 360 port of the game in Quest mode, as it is based upon Version C.

NASA
Ranking system
The ranking system in Virtua Fighter 5 is different from Virtua Fighter 4. The following outlines the ranks obtainable:

10th Kyu to 1st Kyu
1st Dan to 10th Dan
After the Dan ranks, a character's title is dependent on winning percentage.

If a character's winning percentage is less than 70 percent they will obtain the following ranks:

Master -> Defender -> Enforcer -> Sentinel -> Protector -> Guardian -> Paladin -> Liberator
If a character's winning percentage is between 70 and 80 percent they will obtain the following ranks:
Master -> Hunter -> Raider -> Barbarian -> Assassin -> Slayer -> Berserker -> Destroyer
If a character's winning percentage is above 80 percent they will obtain these ranks:
Master -> Warrior -> Veteran -> Gladiator -> Vindicator -> Avenger -> Vanquisher -> Conqueror

NASA
This implementation has led to some player's confusion as to what is the highest rank. Upon obtaining "Conqueror" players have not gone through the other two ranking trees, and so, believe that other ranks exist above them. A character's winning percentage can and does change over time. This can lead to crossing from one rank tree to another (i.e. an "Enforcer" can rank up to "Barbarian" and then up or down to "Vindicator" or "Protector"wink. The only time a rank tree is final is when a character obtains their 28th rank, "Liberator", "Destroyer", or "Conqueror". It is impossible to change ranks once a character obtains their final rank, the experience bar stops moving, even when fighting other 28th rank opponents. It also appears to be impossible to rank down from this level, locking a character into their final title.

Okay, number one.

Do NOT post tons of pics like that. Especially when they are so large. If they break my page, with me having a widescreen monitor set to a large resolution, then they are far too large. Link to them.

Number two. There is no need for all of the multiple posts. All of that stuff that you've taken up an entire page posting could easily have been put in one single post.
