Murayama from the development team of Virtua Fighter 5 for the PS3 comes to you with a brand new installment for the game and it's called VF.TV. To rid you of all assumptions, VF. TV. is not a playable mode but rather one to watch. Don't get all cranky now, you haven't heard it all. You can watch saved content ripped from bouts and other matches through a variety of options and there is a very interesting mode called Exhibition Match which will make every VF fan's delight.

It contains a number of gameplay options ranging from the most basic one-on-one encounter to brawls with specific parameters. More than that, the number of possible matches is enormous thanks to the array of fighters and accessories available. The Exhibition Match really speaks to the depth of the customization feature and just watching battles between experts is an especially handy addition and will rapidly improve your gameplay.

Are you already thinking of going over to a friend's house and kick his ass at VF with your new moves? Hold on, there is more. Watch as experts use techniques new to VF 5, both offensive and defensive, to gain a better understanding of the combat system. It's highly recommended for newcomers and veterans too. You can switch the "Button Entry display" on or off from the Pause menu during replay. This feature displays what button entries the player made during a given fight, so that will come in handy when you want to learn a combo hit.

You can see how experts perform everything from basic offense and defense maneuvers to advanced techniques, letting you know exactly where you go wrong when trying to perform a move that you just can't get right. Last but not least, four types of movies are included in Movie Theater mode. Two of them are not movies but rather demos rendered in real time. These demos were actually adopted in the very first arcade version of Sega's VF5.

Now you can go over to your annoying friend who says he can beat you at VF 5 with his eyes closed and punch some sense into him. In Virtua Fighter 5 that is...
