Virtua Fighter 5 R.E.V.O. Steam Charts & Stats

While other fighting games were introducing new system mechanics to keep their franchise fresh, Virtua Fighter focused on refining and building upon its established systems. The result is one of the most fleshed out and intricate fighting games of all time. However, the game lacks casual appeal to draw in a larger audience. Visuals are good but don't compare to other modern fighters, sound design feels dated, and there is little content outside of ranked match. Despite these shortcomings, I still recommend giving this game a shot. Virtua Fighter's bottomless depth should come as a welcome challenge to seasoned fighting game players.

This game is the definition of "Easy to pick up, hard to master" Fights are quick and frantic and by the time you're able to process what is going on the fight is already over Its a game of micro decisions and on the fly thinking, its super fun The game's commitment to simplicity and elegance should be studied With the little of the game I've played I'm already hyped for Virtua Fighter 6 I dislike that there is not a "Replay Match" to watch clips of your matches in the year 2025 and also the menu can be a bit confusing to navigate for me but besides that i highly reccomend especially for the tekken refugees who are here after tekken 8 season 2's disastrous launch in the meanwhile

extremely fun game! the game feels more about reads rather than distance and reactions like street fighter. unlike some of the reviews here, i do get matched up frequently, though most of the time it is the same person. put your settings on world wide and prepare to be demolished by japanese players lol

Over 20 years old game that still feels modern. Love the animations, Game play and graphics. Love all the fighting styles. All in only 3 buttons. Very innovative.

It's the best fighting game of all time. Easy to pick up and infinitely deep. The only fighting game I can think of where two good players of the same character can and will legitimately play differently.

As a game it's perfect. And yet there's nothing to keep you coming back. Remember customizing your character in VF4? Forget that here. I love VF but this is garbage. Buy Yakuza 6, you can play this and get another game with it.

Don't let people convince you that picking up this game is difficult. Learning the basics is WAY easier than sf and tekken. A breath of fresh air if you are looking for a fighting game that's not bloated with system/comeback mechanics.

Rollback netcode, 4K resolution and finally on PC! Just get it to support RGG Studios and practice for VF6! This is a 20+ year old classic fighting game remade for today!

This game has been around since December 19 of 93. Ever since then my mains are always Pai Chan And Akira Yuki. Been around right after the Capcom's bromance of Hadoukens, see? Before Namco made a complex devil-genes family rivalry. Both but thankfully not this game made infamous by their own live-action movie. Whee! Been collabing with so many others, in numerous projects of all-time best-sellers. Some of it are Dead Or Alive 5 - - yeah those saucy sexy fighters, and several Project X Zones still cashing blings from the gamers. It's a straightforward game, but surely far from being lame. Though without stories or endings like any others did usually, this is purely for matches only, offline and online perfectly. Too bad the costumes cannot be seen before the fight, can only visible when on the match made it feels not quite right. But me and my buddies can still go down with it, together enjoying superbly and never be force-quit. Yes my rap is far from superior, but that doesn't make me an inferior. Just trying to chillax', don't care of noisy quacking by the quacks. And for any stalker always abuse me with point of funny reviews, so glad to entertain with a footloose for you hang-loose recluse. Please don't blow your fuse, lose your screws and be another case of drop dead yahoos. With those fowl attitudes you've got a lot to consider. Take a good look at your tainted soul deep inside a mirror. So lucky most of my gamer buddies are not complete jerks. While you are way far down below them with nothing but zero perks. Surely you just pretend not to understand English. Not too late to change yourself, fish. Which I eat as daily breakfast dish. Incognito around but too many flaws of repetitive weak swish. Constantly annoying like roach with a death wish, deliberately beg for it and about to get squish. Don't be a full-frontal total bish. No I don't try to make a fuzz, might as well we let it be abuzz. Just wanna thank Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio and Sega. But please, please, please also add Kiryu Kazuma; will ya? Though some rumors on the net, said he's too shy or too proud to be part of collab as yet, by any other games in general all set. While others said he simply won't fight women, or perhaps it is too expensive just to make the cameo happen. But no such luck and confusions constantly spinning like a roulette. So we just as well may better let it forget. Well, duty calls so I gotta go. Still got lots to say but have to making all the cash flow. This is goodbye for now as I head straight to the plateau. And from way up there you will hear I drop the mic, yo. For it is the perfect time for me to outgrow. Go by-blow with so much gusto of sassy nouveau, but less cheapo and more like a total solid pro. This game is fun and fast so just give it a go. Virtua Fighter REVO will make your personality grow, instantly show your inner fighter deep down below. Keep it fair clean fight the way it should flow. Y'know like so. So let me end it for us all with related Spanish motto: "Si, soy yo!" (^_^)d

To put it simply Virtua fighter 5 is one of the best fighting games ever made.... If you are a fighting game enthusiast, compared to your tekkens, street fighters and mortal kombats it has next to no single player content (this wasn't always true but it certainly is of VF5 REVO). And it significantly lacks any visually striking mechanics that would draw in people that wouldn't normally play fighting games like Street fighter's striking character design and surplus of arcade style mini games, Tekken's HUGE cast and story, or Mortal Kombat's fatalities (and again, story) This game has none of that, characters at least on the surface are quite dated and do not stand out very much when compared to other fighting games, especially the likes of Guilty Gear and other Arcsys titles where character design is absolutely top notch. What this game has in spades and more than any other fighting game is a formula that works and is executed to near perfection. While daunting from the outside looking in this game is many things, difficult to pick up isn't one of those. Compared to nearly all other fighting games this game has very few technically demanding inputs and only three buttons. The rules of the game's universal mechanic are clear cut and there's very little variance, unlike other 3D fighters (TEKKEN) evasion is a universal mechanic that operates on very simple rules. There are 3 types of attacks, linear, half circle, and full circle attacks. Linear attacks can be dodged by side stepping into either the foreground or the background, half circle moves track a single direction, and full circle moves cannot be sidestepped. This an immutable, universal rule. Doesn't matter how big or small your character is. If you dodged at the correct time you WILL dodge. This game is systemically consistent which gives players the option to really pick up the game with whoever they'd like. Additionally every single character in the game has a unique mechanic tied to them. Wolf has the only armored move in the game, Akira has a surplus of guard breaks, Aoi has a stance dedicated strictly to parrying her opponent. There's no super meter, no super moves, no special cancels, no projectiles, and no weapons. This is the only fighting game on the market that is pure hand to hand combat. There's no fluff, no system wide gimmicks like the drive meter or heat gauge in Tekken 8. Yet somehow without any of these extra mechanics to force a more aggressive playstyle. Virtua fighter is by far the most aggressive fighting game out there. How did they do this? Well there's a few things. Grabbing works differently, in virtua fighter you cannot be grabbed while in the active frames of an attack (outside of a few specific grabs intended to act as a shake up to this otherwise universal rule) This means that your opponent cannot grab you out of your pressure, but it ALSO means that if you correctly read that you are going to be grabbed you get to punish your opponent with a HUGE launcher. Yet throws are the fastest option in the game, this makes throws the strongest yet most volatile tool in the game. On top of this most characters have MANY options to get around blocking, dodging, and every single defensive tool you have at your disposal. Being too defensive is a DEATH sentence. Especially given that letting your opponent control you and push you to the edge either results in a ring out (Which is an instant loss) Or putting you against the wall, where all characters have access to a way to stagger you and break through your guard. I want to be clear defense is not weak in Virtua Fighter. But the only way to be effective at defense is to leverage guessing correctly with immediate offense, TLDR: Virtua fighter ain't fancy but its deep, complex, and so satisfyingly aggressive in a way no other game can match. And it really is the only "What if this martial art fought this martial art" Fighting game around. I cannot recommend it enough, if you like martial arts, play VF, if you like grounded fighting games, it literally does not get more grounded than virtua fighter, if you like well balanced, competitive fighting games? VF. If you like GOOD ass gameplay with no fluff, no annoying gimmicks, VF. It's not for everyone but I do recommend everyone try it. Its my favourite fighting game, Please VF6, don't take away what makes this franchise special.
