- Round 1 of our Virtua Fighter Retrospective series looks at the state-of-the art fighting simulator that rocked the arcade world: Virtua Fighter.
Narrated by Sarah Bryant herself (voice actor Lisle Wilkerson), this covers many iterations of the original 3D fighting game... stay tuned for an overview of the rest of the series in the coming days!
Virtua Fighter 5 Ultimate Showdown launches June 1 as a PS4 console exclusive, and will be available for PlayStation Plus members right away. - เกม
"Narrated by Sarah Bryant" speaks to the geek in me.
Love this. "Yahoo!"
Ran into her on twitch and we talked in the chat, she's pretty chill and cool
"Better run home to mama now."
@@sakushitsugoda6595 can you tell me about her twitch Channel
Better run home to mama now ! I love her
@@JuanGomez-ke5py her twitch channel is LisleWeapon..
she also watches other people's streams.. I remember watching a female streamer who played VF And lisle was there, that's how i got to talk to her 👍
Even in today's age of 4K and ray tracing, the original Virtua Fighter is still pretty impressive. In 1993 there truly was nothing else like it and without it there wouldn't be Tekken, Dead or Alive or SoulCalibur.
That is true. And that is all it did. I am thankful that we have TEKKEN and Soul Calibur. If all we had was Virtua Fighter, then the 3D fighting genre would've died out DECADES AGO🤣
@@shinbakihanma2749 This is the case for all game genres. Platformers would've died with only Mario, consoles would have died with only the Atari 2600, mobile games would have died with only Angry Birds, etc.
Kinda obvious, dude. If you're trying to troll, you gotta do better. "Better run home to Momma now."
@@Freefork and that right there is what we call.....a SMASH!! K.O! Its pitiful to insult the legacy of a great game. They be too busy sucking the booty of Tekken and other franchises that were heavily inspired by Sega, especially Dead or Alive.
Yeah, Namco basically headhunted the staff of AM2 and made the awesome Tekken series. With actual endings which took VF 3 games before they added them. LOL.
Worst part was Sega licensed the engine to Tecmo. Yknow, the guys who made Dead Or Alive.
You have no idea how good it feels to see the AM2 logo again. It’s like seeing an old friend after years.
My girl ain't a push over, that's why she got to narrate the whole video.
For real thought Virtua Fighter doesn't get the credit that it deserves
Like, seriously. Games like Tekken, Soul Calibur and DOA never would’ve been the way they were if it weren’t for Virtua Fighters’ influence on the 3D fighters genre.
Stop lying. Virtua Fighter has always gotten the credit it deserves. The credit it deserves is the fact that it is the first 3D fighter, and revolutionized that aspect of gaming back in 1993. It was hugely successful, and made SEGA a lot of money. Then everyone else started making far superior 3D fighters (TEKKEN, SOUL CALIBUR) to Virtua Fighter, and SEGA started to stagnate... and the rest is history🤣
@@CrystalTigerclaw Virtua Fighter's only influence on the 3D fighting genre, is that it created it. Everyone else took the concept, and greatly improved upon it, while SEGA stood by twiddling it's thumbs letting everyone else pass them by.🤣
The video almost made me go crying to mama
Hopefully it will at least be on more people's radar now.
This franchise is so underrated, glad it’s getting the attention it deserves. Loving these promotional videos!
True and the story is very good too. They can get so many spin off games from the story alone.
@@realamericannegro977 too bad we only had Virtua quest
Virtua Fighter as a series is rated properly. It's far from underrated. That's why SEGA has practically ignored the series for 15 years.🤣
@@shinbakihanma2749 this game was so ahead of its time, literally what every games does now is because of their game. Can’t wait! We need VF 6!
@@NastyTete Dude, the only thing Virtua Fighter contributed to the fighting game genre is that it existed. It created the 3D fighting genre by existing. Other than that, it contributed nothing else of merit. TEKKEN, Soul Calibur, and even DOA has done far more for the 3D fighting genre than Virtua Fighter ever did. VF was ahead of it's time, nearly 30 years ago. Virtua Fighter is useless, and has been for decades.🤣
This... is extremely cool. As someone who has never played Virtua Fighter I’m looking forward to this! Thank you for bringing this series back sega, now just pray the online is good
Amen.
Trust me. You will love Virtua Fighter 5 Ultimate Showdown. I played Final Showdown on Xbox One and now I can play VIrtua Fighter V on PS4.
Probably the most realistic fighting game out there. Minus jump heights.
Lisle Wilkerson is a great voice talent
that's Sarah/Tekken's Nina for you
@@bimapradiga9724 Namco really aped Sega and ran with it
This game shaped my adolescence, I became a huge real life martial arts enthusiast and still play VF every chance I get. Thank you!
I love and enjoyed playing with our Virtua Fighter since my beautiful childhood. Me, my old friends and even my two sisters enjoyed playing with our Virtua Fighter on Arcade, PC, Dreamcast, PS2 and PS3 from lovely 1990's to early 2009i❤️❤️❤️👊👊👊.
I still remember seeing this in the local VHS rental store in the nineties. Along with Daytona USA. I remember thinking it was sooo impressive! Even the fingers of the characters move! Thank you SEGA AM2! The second one had me choosing the Saturn over the PS1 in 1995... ❤️
Everything they do they make it look cutting edge.
That's the SEGA that I love! So impactful and brilliant. Come back now SEGA we love you!
This is great
RGT!
RGT Rules
OH MY GAD! IT'S RGT85!🤯🤣
>narrated by Sarah Bryant
>"Better Run Home to momma now..."
That still hurts, ya know?
Once I saw, "Narrated by Sarah Bryant" instantly I had to click on this.
Me too. She doesn't sound like Sarah her but more like a non hostile Dural.
For real, especially how they reused her same quotes for like a decade and a half, not even DOA had permission to get them to record new dialog but it worked.
"Ha! Yeah! I'm no pushover, sweetie." This is absolutely rad.
All we need now is an HD compilation of all these great Virtua Fighter games released on home consoles.
This video is wayy past cool! It makes me soo happy to see Virtua Fighter back in the spotlight and seeing it being discovered by new fighting game players. I hope that Virtua Fighter 5 Ultimate Showdown gets enough support so that we get a Virtua Fighter 6. Also hearing Sarah voice is icing on the cake 😁👊🏼🔥
How cool! Always good to hear from Lisle herself!!!
The best moment in my life was playing this on the Saturn for the first time in 1997
Favorite 3-D fighting game of all time. I absolutely love VF man, i couldn't be more excited for this new re-release of Final Showdown and the possibility of a VF6! Thanks for narrating the video Sarah, you've always been one of my favorite characters, lol.
Pretty cool retrospective
Ooh this is gonna be a good series. Very informative stuff Sega.
*Us VF fans are so proud of Sega for bringing back one of most Iconic/Legendary fighting games of all time.......we definitely gotta support VF5 ultimate showdown because I want a VF6 game so bad*
*PS: I WANT A DREAMCAST MINI*
I remember playing this game at a Nathan’s arcade in the early 90s as a little kid. I used to ask my dad to bring me to the arcade every weekend. I would spend all of my quarters on Virtua Fighter. It sparked a lifelong passion for fighting games.
Yes! Keep this going Sega! This was awesome! Never forget how revolutionary and important the original Virtua Fighter was to the industry! Love it!
Don't worry. SEGA will forget about Virtua Fighter again after about a year, probably less. Remember, this is SEGA we're talking about🤣
@@shinbakihanma2749 An annoying, vile ball of negativity. Go tap buttons on Tekken
And happy 30thbirthday sonic!
Awesome!!
Awesome! Let's bring back Fighting Vipers, and a new Golden Axe fighting game!
I dunno why, but suddenly I want an ASMR video for Sarah Bryant.
Gotta love that Sarah Bryant.
1:25 LOOL at Pai's headgear knocked off being punched on the ground
I had to immediately clip that LMAO
I hope this means Sega will be re-releasing the classic Virtua Fighter games after the remake of 5. The series deserves more recognition for being the father of 3D fighters.
We will see lol
Don't hold your breath.🤣
This was so wholesome and well edited! Thank you, SEGA! ❤️
Now this is the sega I love! thanks for bringing VF back guys
I still have my Virtua Fighter 1, 2, Remix on Saturn. 3tb on Dreamcast, VF4 on PS2, and VF5 on PS3.
Lisle Wilkerson RULES!!!!! xoxoxo
Really, Sarah Bryant? Wow. Loved you since your first low poly blocky appearance in Virtua Fighter.
So much effort put into Virtua Fighter. I couldn't ask for more.
Yu Suzuki!!! Legend
Amazing
Beautiful video! I ♥ VF and still play most of the games.
I remember there was a local arcade in my hometown of Glendale, Ca that was two stories! There was a version of Virtua Fighter 1, not as a normal arcade cabinet, but in the holographic square screen. Amazing to look at. Sega was always very cutting edge in the arcades.
Wow this is such a treat. I've been posting about Virtua Fighter in different videos all day. Yu Suzuki and AM2 are such a positive part of my life. I'm so happy Virtua Fighter has returned.
Virtua Fighter is, to me, the best 3D fighting series of all-time. ✊
OMG this is fantastic. So many memories from the 90's...I'm not crying. Thanks for this video Sega.
I adore how 90's her voice is like I'm watching an dated educational tape in class

I love this, I love this, I love this! I'm glad Sega didn't forget the Virtua Fighter series and you also got Sarah's VA herself to narrate this one of my favorites, thank you Sega!
Made me appreciate VF even more!
glad you're back virtua fighter
Would it be possible to get a collection that included:
- Virtua Fighter 10th Anniversary
- Virtua Fighter 2
- Virtua Fighter 3tb
- Virtua Fighter 4: Final Tuned
My Body is NOT ready for that.
Do it. Make it happen.
Seriously. Why has this not happened already?!?
@@abouttreefitty Because SEGA, nor anyone else cares about the Virtua Fighter series. Admit it, before this "reveal" of this Virtua Fighter 5 update, you wasn't even thinking about Virtua Fighter. No should you have, because it's an irrelevant series.🤣
@@shinbakihanma2749 Wrong. I've wanted this for years
@@abouttreefitty Whatever liar. You haven't touched any Virtua Fighter game in a long time🤣
Love this 👍
Great. Hopefully we can get at least an arcade version of virtua fighter 1 with the purchase of ultimate showdown.
Don't count on it. That's asking too much of SEGA. Remember, they're far from being the most competent of companies.😅
Good of Sega to remember they have Virtua Fighter. Now, please count to 6.
SEGA is borderline illiterate, and they're wholly incompetent. All I'm saying is be happy that you have this little moment of Virtua Fighter being somewhat popular news. It'll all be over soon🤣
I'm guessing if Ultimate Showdown does well they'll make a VF6.
@@fraudhoward1409 It's possible, but VF5US will NOT do well. VF5, and one of it's updated versions, have been available on consoles for years. But nearly no one plays it. That's the thing that SEGA (and morons in these TH-cam threads) doesn't get. They're releasing yet another update to a game almost no one plays. For what? It can't be to test the waters on the viability of the VF series, because there's long available proof that no one cares about VF.😑
Someone high up at SEGA foolishly believes that they can make some sort of money in esports with an updated version of a 15 year old game. A game that has proven that it has no real viability in the FGC, atleast not long term. They've done nothing to competently promote any meaningful investment into the resurgence of the Virtua Fighter series by announcing some sort of definitive VF collection or anything of the sort. That and or an announcement of a Virtua Fighter sequel, would've gone a long way to showing good intentions on their part. They've only made a half assed attempt at an obvious cash grab. The handwriting is on the wall. SEGA themselves care the least about their own series😔
@@shinbakihanma2749 That's the same exact thing that happened when Capcom made that Darkstalkers collection. They were judging if people wanted a new Darkstalkers game based on the collection's sales which is stupid because not many people care about these collections of old fighting games. I agree 100% I don't think VF5 US will not be very popular even if it's on PS+ it's just too much of a niche product for anyone not living in Japan. It's obvious they made US for Japan since it's not using rollback netcode.
*SARAH BRYANT NARRATING*
I'll enjoy this, trust me.
This type of retrospective is perfect
This is an amazing look into an important part of gaming history!!
I am here for everything vf!!!!
I vividly remember playing this on my PC! YES, PC, Sega. The good old times, I guess.
Yes the time when Sega released games on PC
I remember first playing this on the 32X. First 3D fighting game I ever played. It's come a long way. Glad to see to see it's getting a second lease on life. Don't squander this iconic series, Sega.
Very good ! I love it all very much !
Didn't know Sarah spoke of herself in the third person. Great video otherwise! God bless and Jesus loves you and anyone reading this.
Amen
Amazing video! Awesome to hear Lisle again 💙
Simplicity is beauty.
VF finally getting some love
It took Sega to finally show love to it for us to show up to it again
I love this series. Virtua Fighter 5 Final Showdown is one of my favorite fighting games.
A whole series of Virtua Fighter retrospective videos narrated by the Bryants.
I will gladly take more of this
Thank you for this!
This is just hype! I got Virtua Fighter V Final Showdown on Xbox One, but now I can play Virtua Fighter on PS4. Not from streaming with PSNow, not in a minigame in Yakuza, not the Sega Genesis version from Sega Genesis Classics, it's the real deal!
Subscribed! Cannot wait to see more!
And Virtua Fighter (alongside Rad Mobile) became the main reason I bought my Astro City Mini last year.
What's interesting is that to this day, people are still impressed by how innovative VF was and still is. In fact, whenever I bring my Astro City Mini to Universal Orlando (I play it when I'm getting a drink at Finnegan's or at CityWalk), people find it very cool to see Virtua Fighter in action. One guest even mentioned that if not for Virtua Fighter, Namco's Tekken wouldn't have existed.
E P I C ! Man, this takes me back. Love it! 💪
Virtua Fighter compilation please, Sega? 🙏
Maaaan, this brings the point, that we really need a Virtua Fighter Anthology Collection on current gens
That would be nice, but very few people would buy it. And even then, even fewer people would play it competitively for long. SEGA knows this. No one cares about Virtua Fighter, not even SEGA. If they did, they would've released Virtua Fighter 6 YEARS ago.
@@shinbakihanma2749 that is true. But the current state of things is different than it was few years back. Sony secured major exclusivity of e-sports fighting arena, and now VF5 is appearing exclusively on PS consoles. I think that Sega might be probing the opportunities here
i remember playing wolf in the arcade in 93 and shoulder ram my enemy for 3/4 for they life :) great video
One thing I've noticed about Virtua Fighter 1 is that some of the soundtrack is very similar to songs found in Outrunners, which was in arcades around the same time.
Amazing ! I loved it and Sarah 😍
Can we get a classic collection? This series deserves it.
Also Narrated by Tekken's Nina Williams. :P
Lisle 🥰
Will always be my favorite video game ever
I have gotten to know virtua fighter for 18 years now and it has been one of my most beloved favorite fighting game of all time for these last 2 decades. so now it is time for this to finally be way more recognized like never before.
My heart! I’m crying right now. Thank you!
I remember play VF when it first came out. It was just amazing.
This is amazing
SEGA you are killing it! Keep it up!
No they are not. Stop lying to them. SEGA is botching it.🤣
@@shinbakihanma2749 How? Looks great.
@@sausagesausage Tell me what SEGA did with this game that is so great, that they are "killing" it? Did they announce a VF collection or a Virtual Fighter sequel? I want you to really think, before you give into the false hype and say useless things.
I remember putting in so many hours into the Sega Saturn version as a middle-school kid.
Cheers Sarah!
Amazing Vídeo!
My whole childhood right there
awesome
Can't wait for Max to review this
Perfect
Memories... 😍😍
I still want an arcade perfect VF1 and 3
Virtua Fighter and Street Fighter are the kings of combat
God, a super underrated franchise in need of a brand new game or a re-release/remake of one/some of the old games!
SEGAAAAAA!!!!!!!
Hopefullly this new direction will mean Sega are going to do something with their other arcade IP’s. Maybe something with Daytona, Virtua Cop, HOD, etc.
Nice. This is what sega should have done all of these years.👍😄
