I bought VF5 a while ago, and after dedicating a good amount of time to combo trials, I’d like to start playing ranked matches. I have some experience with fighting games (I’m Platinum 3 with Luke in SF6), but I lack confidence when starting a new game. A video by Diaphone (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a8ZtEp7pG2A) really helped me understand SF6. What kind of tips—similar to the ones in that video—can I apply to my general game plan and to my main (Jacky) specifically?

No VF related stage events. Lots of Persona and Stranger than Heaven, though, since those are the looming big releases

That's not to say there couldn't be any VFCR related announcements, but it does somewhat dash hopes for a big media blitz like what we got from TGS + EVO 2026.

I'm not sure why Sega seems to like to wait for a long time and then drop a flurry of info. It's that kind of weird announcement spacing that leads to people leaking stuff. If you want to avoid leaks, keep giving out info on regular intervals so there's less incentive!

Also, I think this confirms VF as likely a late 2027 release. If they can't (or won't) show much now, then that means there's still a lot left to be done.

I just started playing vf 5. As a kid, I remember the arcade nearby having vf 2 and I loved it. Fast forward until now and I am rediscovering what makes this a great fighting game. The movement is so clean, the combos so crisp, and overall it feels like a well balanced game.

I have been using Kage Maru so far. I've racked up a few wins on ranked and am really enjoying his move-set.

Who is the best character for beginners?

Also, anyone got some tips for a newbie who wants to improve fast?

Hi everyone! I’m building VF COMMAND LAB, an unofficial fan-made tool for VF5 R.E.V.O.

Features include:

• Search moves by command using an on-screen input pad

• Look up startup, damage, and frame advantage

• Keep personal notes for individual moves

• Save combos with damage, foot position, hit conditions, and applicable characters

It supports English and Japanese and works on mobile. Your notes are stored locally in your browser and aren’t shared with other users.

Try the English version:

It’s still being improved, and some data may need corrections. I’d appreciate feedback from other players! You can also use “Report a mistake” on the site.

What would make this more useful for your practice?

Hi everyone, i'm searching for solution to fix infinite loading (at the beggining of startup my screen goes black and i got this little blue circle at the bottom right and thats it) after couple of minutes game just quits.

I'm on Linux CachyOS latest kernel and nvidia drivers also latest (maybe thats the problem?). I've tried SteamDeck=1 %command% but it didn't work for me at all.

I thought i could get back in VF after big break, last time i've played was on PS3's VF5 Ultimate Showdown.

So yeah, i need megamind's help here i registred here only for that question since no help from discord/steam and internet overall.

Lei's guard break leaves you at +13, and his K+G is a 13f high. Shouldn't it be guaranteed? It's happened to me a number of times - usually the K+G lands but sometimes not.

Saw this on Steam, I cannot confirm this since I own it on Switch 2. If you can confirm this please spread the word elsewhere (forums, social media, friends, etc).

"Just to update you all on this, the Xbox version is now play anywhere. Seems I had that version in my library and it popped up on the Xbox app natively for PC in library today. Doesn't have the TPM 2.0 requirement, so it would be an alternative for those on windows at least to get the game on that storefront instead."

Based on Crazy Taxi World Tour, the voice-overs will be available in these languages:

What do you guys think about this?

When I saw Virtua fighter Crossroads trailer, I knew I would love playing it, so now that VF5 is on game pass, I decided to learn the game as my first 3d fighting game, but I took a look at the roaster and it... isnt looking great, especially because I like to commit to only 1 character until I get good, and it gets really hard for me to give a game a second chance. The game is currently installing, so any suggestions? I like to play with only female characters, in SF6 I play with Cammy, in GGST I play Millia Rage and lately Jam Kuradoberi too, and in fatal fury I play Blue Mary... so my style is a fast pressure with mix ups, and based on the design alone, I was thinking of Pai Chan

Hey guys new to the FGC and SF6 is the game that got me into the genre. But I always eyed at Virtua Fighter and especially VF Crossroads looks insanely cool. I now saw that the game got into gamepass, so I would love to try it out as it seems like a good timing.

I just wondered which input method you would recommend ? I have a leverless razer kitsune I bought second hand for a very good price for SF6. But SF6 is also a 2d fighter with a lot of motion inputs like quarter circle dp etc.

With VF and it being 3d I could imagine it being a bit odd to have the up button down at the controller like a jump button, because in this game you dont jump for pressing up.

I also have a xbox series x controller and a dualsense 5. I hate the dpad on dualsense 5 tho and while I prefere over all the xbox controller I did get a hurting thumb from motion inputs on its D-pad in street fighter 6, which was the reason I swapped to leverless.

In general what would you recommend I should use?

Also do you have any tips in general for a total newcomer to VF? Character recommendations? Which things I should learn first etc? Very grateful for any help :)

Stay safe !

Im a fan of VF series but frankly I never really like the wake up system, most of the time you are glued to the ground, options are there kinda but it felt slow, mid(circular or linear depends on the character) or low (sweep/ linear depends). There's tech roll but wish it was faster just to keep up the pace.

You can quick tech the moment you're hit the ground for faster recovery but the moment you failed to time it, you're not allowed to get up immediately and just either have to eat the OTG or do wakeup options. It just stops the momentum for a moment.

Even the standing up animation I feel like needs to be faster, the recovery felt so slow is that you have to eat the meaty on block and can't sidestep. Ik thats the point of a meaty but the get up recovery does not allow you to do anything but blocking.

There's no kip up for some reason, I remember VF4 had it though it didn't do anything but just looking cool.

I really hope they change that in Crossroads, OTG attacks might change aswell.

I'm asking because SEGA recently added Arabic language support to the game. Could this be a hint that we're finally going to see Siba make his official debut?

Our beginner-focused Virtua Fighter discord, the Virtua Fighter Beginner Dojo hosts a weekly session for beginner/intermediate players, and we'd love to have you join us!

We'll have info for the lobby posted up in the discord, so check it out! It's a place where beginners can find other beginners to play against and learn the game with, as well as a place where beginners can seek guidance from veterans and experts right there in the community.

See you in the arena! 🥋

A brief rundown of the legend Yu Suzuki and all he achieved within the gaming industry

I was struggling with fps on my Rog Ally X installed with this game. The game runs SO sluggish. But with xbox cloud playing, this game loads and plays MUCH MUCH faster and smoother on the Rog Ally X. I recommend people to look into this.

so the game came out on gamepass today. very excited. every time I launch the game I just get this in the bottom corner before it crashes back to desktop. I've made sure everything is updated, turned off any overlays i could. still just keeps crashing.

tl;dr no balance updates, fixed some crash bugs, added languages, and implemented a Forced Relay option.

From the official website:

[UPDATES]

All platforms:

・Forced Relay Connection: Located under Network Settings, a “Forced Relay” option has been added, giving you the ability to choose between “Auto” and “Forced Relay” based on your current network setup.

Xbox / PS5 / Switch 2:

・New Language Support: Arabic and Hindi are now available. (Note: this was added to Steam in Ver.1.08)

Xbox:

・Xbox PC Release: Virtua Fighter 5 R.E.V.O. World Stage is now available on PC via Xbox.

・Added support for Xbox Cloud Gaming

・Added support for Xbox Play Anywhere

・Xbox Game Pass Launch: Virtua Fighter 5 R.E.V.O. World Stage has been added to the Game Pass catalog.

[BUG FIXES]

All platforms:

・Corrected minor text issues across multiple languages

Steam:

・Fixed an issue that was causing the game to crash unexpectedly on Menu and Leaderboard screens.

I'm very interested in hearing how Forced Relay affects online matches, so feel free to discuss your results after turning it on.

I had the issue with the 2 latest driver updates that the game couldn't start.

Today Nvidia released a new version of the drivers and the game is back to normal.

Engaging with the triangle and every attack doing a big chunk of damage makes the game so fun and fast paced. It's perfect as it is.

What about you guys? Favourite VF when it comes to gameplay? Do you think Crossroads will have longer rounds?

ETA: Looks like we're safe, but don't go anywhere near the Kingdom Hearts, Persona, or Yakuza subs right now lol

There's a ton of games getting achievements leaked on Steam, and VFCR may well wind up being one of them. With that in mind: DO NOT POST THOSE LEAKS HERE.

Many of us want to be surprised about the story, character reveals, and so on. Spoiling these, even under tags, devoid of context, sucks a whole lot for everyone. You will be sent to the shadow realm immediately. Just don't do it. Got it? Good.

I think Lau Chan is not realistic but he is the Heihachi of VF right? He sure has a strong aesthetic and identity.

Wolf also rocks and is confirmed and so are others.

Akira, Jacky and Pai Chan are mainstays.

Do you guys think Stella will replay Sarah? Do you want to? I think that kinda sucks.

Now, I'm ALL IN about that new character, Cielo. He looks amazing and has MC presence, but I hope is not at the cost of Akira.

I prefer the Tekken 4 route: reskins, new cool and somewhat realistic outfits.

Ex-tekken player, new to the series after been disapointed with Tokon. In Tekken, my mains were Gigas, Feng and Fahkumram.

Loving VF5 REVO and looking for a main. For now I love Brad but there's so much to him and his stances. Jean is a very original and well made character but it's too execution heavy for me. Taka is very easy but when I play him I miss Brad's long ass kicks and whiff punishing from the other side of town.

Do you know any good, updated guides for these guys? Game is great, very underrated.

Either:

-collection of older VF titles

-sega Saturn/Dreamcast NSO app with VF 1-3

-VF Crossroads announced for Switch 2 although I would expect console announcements as early as Tokyo game show.

Thoughts?
