Virtua Fighter 5 is the latest game in Sega's Virtua Fighter series. It was released on July 12, 2006 into Japanese arcades. Virtua Fighter 5 was released for PlayStation 3 on February 20, 2007, and will be a launch title for the European release in March. The Xbox 360 version is due in the summer of 2007, as confirmed by Sega on December 21, 2006. However, in Japan only, the PlayStation 3 version of the game will be released. It is rumored that the Xbox 360 version will benefit from the additions and refinements that will be made to the 'Version C' arcade revision, while the PlayStation 3 version will be based around the imminent Version B. Featuring many new fighters and some kickass moves, Virtua Fighter 5 promises to be the best fighting game around, a worthy opponent of Tekken or Mortal Kombat. We provide you with the whole list of moves available in VF 5 in the pictures below!

How to beat VF5 quest mode with 1 move with Kage
Pick Kage and do:d+P+K, K.

If it hits, turn around and do a d/f+K pounce for extra damage since CPU almost never Quick Raise or Tech-Roll.
If it's blocked, the CPU will try to throw you, but its timing will be off because of shitty AI. It will whiff the throw right in your back, just press d+K from the back for a knock down, then turn around and do d+P+K, K for a ground combo since the CPU doesn't TR. Repeat for about 500 matches of this and you'll beat Quest Mode.

Unlock Dural
To unlock Dural for use in VS and Arcade mode, simply beat arcade mode with every character at least once. You do not have to beat Dural.

Unlock the DOJO training stages
To unlock the DOJO training stages, you need to complete the TIME ATTACK mode that is in command training one time with any character.

When you complete time attack, go into VS mode, select your characters, and then press the controller either up two times or down two times.

If you go up, you will get the DOJO without a fence.

If you go down, you will get the DOJO with a fence.

Gameplay Tips
Before a round starts, it will show your stat card and a rank progress bar below it. If the progress bar is glowing on the outside, then you have something to gain by winning the match. This usually happens from fighting higher ranked players than yourself. If you are a Gladiator, for instance, and you beat a 1st Dan, you won't gain experience, and the progress bar will not glow.

When a tournament is happening, the arcade icon on the map screen will have a glowing yellow light underneath it, showing you which arcade is holding the tournament.

It seems to me that item battles become rarer the longer you play at a single machine. For instance, if you have 10 wins in a row on cab 2 in Sega Route 101, you probably won't be getting many item battles from that point forward. But if you switch cabs, it seems to reset the frequency of item battles. So if you just switch over to cab 1 or 3, you'll probably be getting more items.

I think you get money for losing in this game. Which I know sounds odd, but it�s true. My vanessa is always broke, I only ever get money from item battles (and even that is super rare) and winning tournaments. But my girlfriend's Pai profile has a record of 0-8, yet has 3200g. I do notice that when you lose, a little "G" bag appears above your player card. Is it just me, or does this seem backwards as hell? No money for winning, but money for losing.

Items seem to come in 3 flavors (that I've noticed). Emerald, Ruby, and Diamond. When you win an item battle and the chest opens, and it�s actually an item, it shows the shirt icon with a jewel behind it. I think this is like the bronze/plat/gold/red chests from Evo. The only time I can remember a diamond is for 1st dan, when you get outfit C. I think ruby is the next rare, and emerald is common items.

Easter Egg
Same as the one in VF4 Evo at least. Hold down "O" after the saved data loads when booting and you will hear "SEEEEGAAAAA!"
