Here we are with another Virtua Fighter 5 Ultimate showdown video, this time giving you a bunch of gameplay tips that will help you with the game! VF is pretty in depth and sometimes you can skip over some of the "obvious" stuff, and sometimes certain things are not obvious at all so hopefully this can help you out in your VF journey!
I've never touched a VF before this release, and I haven't had this much fun with a fighter in a long time. Everyone, it's free. Play it. Support it.
I sadly didn't grow up with VF, but I'm loving this game and can't wait to see what's next for this series!
Welcome
Lol I just started playing today and I’m on a 22-0 streak in ranked. Not bad for starters, let’s keep it goin!
Same here. One of the few I've never played
I remember playing it once in the movie theaters, back in the day, mistaking it for tekken this whole time
@@SOSOLRAK I played it in VR like 20 years ago where VR was basically just a DDR dance pad
More VF content coming in the next few days as well! Also will be streaming VF Ultimate showdown later tonight on the twitch channel, my first stab at online! Around 7pm EST will be going live, maybe a bit earlier if I can get some free time! Wolf? Vanessa? Taka maybe? Who knows yet cause I don't!
Wolf please! Is he low-tier in this game?
"If you hit the floor first you lose."
What is this the Royal Rumble?
Wolf, El Blaze and Jeffrey: Yes
I like that first stage in the city because it has a Jet Set Radio reference on the wall
I thought it was just a homage thing with the font.
@@djhero0071 Yeah that’s what I was talking about
I can't to get home from work to play this
12:12 Bamco is never going to live this down. :)
This man is singlehandedly becoming the vf5 professor for all the ps plus newcomers lmao
I had genuinely no idea how much of VF's DNA is in DOA and seeing as that's the only game i've been even barely competent at I'm hoping that makes the transition a bit smoother. now it's totally no wonder that four VF characters made it to 5
That is how DOA and Tekken started. Heavily influenced by VF.
I don't know about Tekken but DOA is 100% inspired by VF. The similarities are plentiful. Not surprising since both Itagaki and Yu Suzuki are pretty good friends. Harada on the other hand...
@@PushStart_YT Check Harada's recent interview on Virtua Fighter 6.
If I'm not mistaken, the first DOA in arcades ran in Sega's Model 2 cabinets and either used the same engine of VF 2 or something similar 'cause Tecmo told good old Itagaki-san to make their own Virtua Fighter.
@@abdelali9279 Right.
"Use practice mode"
You just lost all the casuals with that statement lol
practice mode is like the mode i always spend like at least 30 minutes or more in before i start the game. any fighting game.
@@ajshiro3957 same. Tutorials in fighting games are a must.
@@ajshiro3957 u a real one
@@Wazzen563 spread that mentally. The fgc needs it
This is basically my first VF game, and MY GOD it is incredible! I am definitely sticking with this series, and I will definitely get the DLC, so I can support this series. The only problem is that I can’t play super often ATM because I’m juggling the last of my schoolwork with the game. Thankfully, I only have 4 school days left, so soon I can play the HELL out of this.
Thank you for giving more VF content. The series has needed more love for a very long time
Funny thing: Virtua Fighter isn't the only fighting game where a majority of lows are negative on hit. It's also like this in Soulcalibur. To my knowledge, Tekken is the odd one out in 3D fighters where lows are often plus to some capacity on hit.
That doesn't really hold true for Soul Calibur. It, of course, dependes on the SC we're talking about. But there are quite few lows, that are insanely plus on hit. For instance: SC2 Nightmare Side Knight Stance A is a low with a hefty frameadvantage. SC2's Raphael's generic 2K is the odd one out of all generic 2Ks being plus on hit. SC2 Taki jumping B,B is a mid, low. The low being so plus it opens the opponent up for her CH tools when they try to retaliate after getting hit.
Thanks for bringing virtua 5 videos
I'm already labbing Goh Hinogami and his throw game. I must say, I really like this game. I'm not good at or used to 2D fighting games so another 3D fighter is exactly what I needed. Tekken is still my 1st love though haha. Great video yo!
As a Goh main myself, get proficient with his parry to grab. I've won a few matches against punch spammers. Made people afraid to attack. Forward kick for his knee is good. On counter hit you can do your crouch grab after. And his elbow forward punch is fast, safe, and a good check.
@@usnfindley awesomenessss, thanks yo! I'm new to the game so I really appreciate it. Is there a guide you learned from?
@@chuai_man if you land the knee on counter hit df k p into bf k+p,p,fp is all guaranteed nearly kills Them
@@ghostbladevanguard514 knee counter? Can you give me the simple input of that, not the combo after?
@@usnfindley Thanks for the tips! Just learning VF5US with Goh so appreciate the info!
As an aspiring Wolf player the throw explanations was incredibly useful. The throw game in VF is so interesting and different from my normal King stuff in Tekken 7.
It's a blast let me tell you, haven't had this fun in a fighting game since Fighterz.
If you have PS plus please🙏 give this game a chance, today was my first day playing virtua fighter and it was so fun just to mash buttons online
Btw rooflemonger any chance a Jean Kujo character guide is coming?
This is my first fighting game ever. I had a lot of fun with my brother but we were just smashing buttons at the beggining. Then i tried multi and was recked hard by other players. I try to learn combos now, choosing El Blaze as my main
Working my way through the generalized guides first then ill probably toss in a few combo guides together and form there who knows
Cannot wait to sink my teeth into this game. I've been waiting for another fighting game to sink my teeth into
Teeth
Virtua Fighter is good and cool.
As someone who played VF5 Online as a kid on the Xbox 360…then wondering why nobody really talked about this game anymore because of the other fighting games that surfaced, I’m super excited to get back into it and welcome newcomers alike.
I love me some VF. I'm glad theyre back, sorta. I hope they make a 6!
Right on for holding us down with this beginner tech. I missed this game when it first released.
Super excited to bust some heads and get some hatemail as the man Wolf, never played this series before but he seems like even more of the “wrestler” fantasy than King or Armor King!
Me and my brother grew up on Virtua fighter. His main is Wolf. I hate his burning hammer with a burning passion.
Wolf is the undisputed king of all fighting game wrestlers.
@@rooflemonger Oh no Zangief, get out of the way.
@@bigchahoonga9465 zangief is a wrestler, but the love of wrestling doesnt show through the character like it does for wolf
@@rooflemonger Oh, I agree with the fact Wolf is the superior wrestling character. That’s why The Gief needs to high tail it before he see’s Wolf.
Got this game on ps4 store for free, now I wanna main brad
I needed this, thank you!
I'm so freaking happy you're making these videos. I'm eating them up! I'm new to fighting games, I only started in April of 2020, so VF5US is the first fighter I've experienced from launch. Honestly I was pumped from the first teaser in September and I freaked out when they announced the release date one week in advance. But the reception seemed lukewarm then and now, I was afraid no one would make this type of content on it. I can't stress how great these have been to watch!
One of the best videos for me as a player returning to the game since VF4 and having practically forgotten it all. Nice job
I only discovered this game a few days ago, and I really want to learn this game more. Your videos are really helpful for beginners like me! Thank you
happy to help!
Good information. I played vf5 many years ago, and I didn't know about the throw tech system or the 9th tip.
Damn I didn't realise how much cool shit there was in Virtua Fighter. Definitely keen to play it now.
Fired the game up, hitting the lab with Taka - thiiicc boiiiiiiiiis!! Really diggingthe game so far, this tutorial you made for us is god-like. Thanks rooflemonger!
People sleeping on how hype Aoi is in this game. She has counters for almost every situation, she has command throws that lead to more command throws, set-ups into auto parry, and strike throws. Will definitely need to get in some practice and chain throw the crap out of people while I still can. Then it's just learning how to play with her movement and stance changes like a civilized person.
I can't wait to see a God Tier Aoi 👍
I am trying to learn her as well... if you want to get some mirrors in let me know!
Hey, I picked her up too! She doesn't seem like a newbie-friendly character, and considering I've barely played any VF games outside of a few short stints many _many_ years ago... Not a problem! :P
@@Galiaverse she's definitely not beginner friendly I think lol. I'd say neither are Akira or Vanessa. My Jean seems to be VERY beginner friendly and I'm climbing Dan ranks even though the last time I played VF it was on the Sega Saturn lol
Thanks for the tips can’t wait to play I love your videos🖤
This game is actually pretty tight. I've been messing with Jeffry all day and the raw footies are clearly stronger than Tekken
Yeah vf is a bit like soulcalibur where fighting game archetypes aren’t what determine a characters strengths like small dude do faster moves because bad range. The strengths are realistic. Jeffery being the tallest guy in the game does not make him combo fodder (hell as a heavyweight he actually is harder to combo), it makes him really good at stuffing out approaches from shorter characters like in real martial arts.
First VF was Virtua Fighter 2 on the Sega Saturn. Was by far my favourite fighter from that era. Years later, Soul Calibur 2 stole my soul. Nowadays, although I'm pretty burnt out on fighters and while I mostly play ARPGs these days, I'm definitely going to get into a bit of VF5 action while I can.
The graphics are perfect
A tip for beginners not in the tutorial, but critical for some optimal combo damage is “crouch dash cancelling ”. It allows you to instantly perform while rising attacks. Instead of holding down, crouch dash forward or backwards and finish the command of the move.
Akira
33P, 6KP, hold2 6PP
This combo cannot be performed if you use while rising moves the standard way. You must crouch dash cancel.
33P, 6KP, 336PP
Decided to go back to my roots with grapplers this game and play wolf he defiantly is the most standard grapplers I've seen in recent years with good throws and bad pokes but feels good in a weird tradition way
Let’s go my fellow Monkeys! Eileen gang is here 😤
Best Girl Gang! I miss dressing her up as Sun Wukong
Monke gang reporting for duty
oo oo aa aa gang
MONKAY STANCE
The Mantis will always trump the Monkey...
Great video man, just what I need to get back on the old horse again. I'm beyond stoked about this remaster, and as luck would have it I'm getting my new 65" TV today so it's going to be a fun weekend :)
That was great. You presented concepts I’d not come across before. Thanks.
Great content, thanks for the refreshers!
Great video and thank you for it! For anyone wondering about the net code, I have average East Coast USA net code and played about 50 matches yesterday, only had like three or four of them be horrible lag on the level of soul Calibur or something. Otherwise the connection feels strong every match!
Great breakdown as always
I won 2 ranked. Man I'm loving the mechanics of this game! Can't believe I slept of fighters for so long. Can't wait to see a Eileen video. Loving her movements and she seems easy for me to learn and develop. Ima learn how to grapple like a pro in this game! No more avoiding it
Wow this is EXTREMELY helpful. I learned a lot! Thank you!
Haven't played in ages but this tip video really helped. Alot of things coming back to me and I'm having fun alone just from learning and practicing mechanics of the game. Much respect and wish you much success with the channel. Osu 🙏
This game is amazing. Not really a heavy fighting game fan but this one has me hooked!!
awesome video! Taught me a lot!
Huge VF fan since The PS2 era. I love this game!!!! Great video.
The throw part was really useful for me, I got so used to DOA that I was trying to strike my way out of them, but ofc, since throws are faster than any strike that would never be the case and also there is no Hold button here, so no input for a counter throw because as you said, here is not reaction based but more guessing based so you gotta see the play pattern of your opponent and passively tech them.
First time playing since VF4 and MY GOD THIS GAME IS GLORIOUS
vf it's probably the one of the few fighting games that has one map and music per each character...
Thanks for making this video. If nobody was gonna do this I was gonna. XD Much appreciate to help beginners.
This game is so refreshing. It feels like ages a fighting game released without comeback mechanics. Kids i really reccomend this game to y'all. It's very technical and rewarding and the online experience is pretty solid. Give it a chance especially if you're burned out from Tekken.
Yeah IKR, like I love Guilty Gear and I knew they always had those Destruction OHKO, but in XRD you have Hell Fire and Burst Overdrives that can wipe out your enemy no matter if they were dominating in the beginning, and since VF is more like playing your opponent than the characters on screen you can still turn the things around by guessing their moves and counter or maybe a ring out but still it's all in the skill and knowledge and not just becuase you exploit some mechanincs with a simple input.
I plan on maining Brad Burns. His F PK into BB2, D2 always get me. Honestly it’s tough knowing that’s just the start
Super helpful as usual
Good stuff! getting that VF-itch
Hell yeah brother im having so much fun on this
Very handy stuff to know. I always sucked at teching throws, so it's handy to know I can preemptively tech just by holding the buttons and a direction instead of just trying to react to it.
thanks for the tips!
As stated around 17:45 on weight changing combos, for Sarah players, 1-K into 66K+G is much more consistent on Taka because you don't have as tight a window for the animation, netting that damage more often.
That last tip is exactly what I needed. I wanted to get some jabs after a certain launcher and this makes things MUCH easier. I was trying to delay my punch online so I wouldn't finish the string and that felt impossible
Im gettin started and your vids help me a lot
Thanks for all your tips, they've helped me a lot even if I played Vf4 back in the day. Unfortunately the game seems to have failed to take off where I live. It's saturday and I managed to get two sets in 15 minuters. I'll try again later but I'm getting flashbacks to when I bought DBFZ.
Very useful tips tanx.
Thank you for the Tips bro
Let´s keep pushing for a VF6!
You don’t mention this in the video, but it’s nice to know, when a sabaki attack is doing its thing, you hear a small “scratch” noise.
Ah I suppose! I have permanent hearing damage so small things like that are a bit beyond me
thanks. exactly what I needed without even knowing it.
That amount of depht!!!
8:05 something I wish MK11 would implement. Throws are way more common in VF5 but they never felt as frustrating.
Definitely needed the refresher though. I’m excited to pick this up!
Glad to see this great franchise return. Especially in America.
new player here, learned a lot , thanks.
12:13 Nice quip👏
Wow throws are faster than anything else? Coming from Tekken, that's a mind burst www
Oh yes!
That input display is mind blowing. Having that in other fighters would've saved a lot of unnecessary frustration (I'm looking at you SF4 challenges)
and it happened 15 years ago too, thats how far ahead VF was compared to everyone back then.
@@rooflemonger It's crazy that I didn't even remember that. I had VF5 on the 360 and put sometime into it but I doubt I really dug into the training.
To your point you made in the video, here is frame-data that didn't require purchase and is perhaps the most extensive for free. Gotta love companies charging for features that used to be included.
Thanks for the video, I've been spending too many hours with Lei Fei XD
Just did Akira GX Yuki's Command Training. This game kinda reminds me of DOA, which is cool. I don't really like DOA though, but I will learn how to play this game just so I can use Akira and master using some HAKKYOKU-KEN on fools!!!! Nothing more satisfying than the noise when this shoulder/back bash connects
I could easily see Wolf being top tier 😎
He's alright, but this is the same game its been from back in the day and wolf is solid mid tier. His biggest issue is if you wanna get serious on grappling, Taka's throw game is better, and his strike game is better, so... he's kinda just better wolf.
Also between green and yellow minus frames are blue minus frames which means you are jab punishable. Green = Throws, Blue = Jabs, Yellow = Mid Strings, Orange = Launchers
I downloaded this game. And it is fun. I played wolf and it was a blast
I’m new in Virtua Fighter 5, Which character is great for beginners.
imo Jean and Pai are both pretty strong beginner characters.
I'd also say Jacky and Sarah
@@rooflemonger I’ve seen that Jacky is also a good beginner character but I’ll try each too see which one feels good to me
@@chopper8209 Jacky isn't bad either. Jean specifically was made for new players and he's pretty simple, and I myself learned VF with pai back in the day so she's always my go to for that.
@@rooflemonger would you consider goh beginner friendly
I'm gonna be on this all day
Soon as gg strive came out rooflemonger said fuck vf 😭 was really looking forward for more vf content
I’m not liking the 3D Fighting Games, but I love 2D/2.5D Fighting Games so I’m glad this is free on PS+ to try because I just can’t get into Tekken 7 or the DOA Games. The only one I find enjoyable is Soulcalibur VI. I’m going to give it a try but I highly doubt I’ll like it.
NO FUCKING SPECIAL BARS I LOVE IT
thank you, it's realy helpful, please, can you make a video on how to execute some of the hardest moves in the game
haha, for stuff like akira's knee I need help with that too :-0
The best thing I can tell you, is most of the extra hard stuff, there's no real need to learn it other than to show off
@@rooflemonger Akira yes 😅 this is my first time playing a VF game and i went straight to Akira lmao, i couldn't do 2 of his difficult moves, but the pthers i managed to execute them, i just need explanation, also, i couldn't win a single fight online because i didn't understand the game, but now, with this video i understand, so thanks again
I got SHMOKED so hard online....like real bad lol so I hope this helps
Every time I look at that character, I think of metal gear, dunno why. "Jiggle Snake"
How I wish youtube was a thing in the 90s.
*Talks about ring outs*
*Laughs in Goh command grabs*
I should had seen this video 3 days ago Before played online
Rooflemonger using a grappler in a fighting game?! Who knew...
When I saw Wolf for the first time in 1993 he was my vf main for life. He's Canadian too :)
@@rooflemonger ohhh that's nice eh! Im between monkey lady and Aoi, both of them are pretty awesome if you know what are you doing. But Aoi win for the troll counter character... so idk hahaha
Great vid Roof! If you use a stick, can I ask what your button layout is? Thanks!
My stick layout is
P K
G
I don't bind any other buttons.
Mind doing a guide on Akira's 1frame knee input? I don't have any trouble what-so-ever doing it on DOA5, but it seems like a completely different beast on this game.
I'd love to but I can't, I can do it like 1/15 tries myself. Only thing is heres exactly what the game wants. Press K+G together(no sloppy input allow by hitting one before the other), and then let go of guard exactly 1 frame after pressing it.
This video should be included in the game
Do a tip for goh I’m new to the series and took a liking to him
