As you can imagine, VF5 builds upon its predecessor's gameplay system, delivering a much more realistic, yet typical Virtua Fighter feeling. Several new characters have been introduced, such as Eileen and El Blaze, who have been designed to match perfectly with the game's concept.
Character customization can now be literally taken to the max - just an example: you can strap as many as 3 different leather bras onto Vanessa's big chest and more than 20 other different accessories and suits, all this just for the upper body. Quest mode is still there, adding just a few more features, while practice mode (Dojo) has been tweaked up quite a bit, making it simpler to perform hit combos, evades and more. To top it all, VF5 also comes with a much more solid storyline, this time revealing a stronger connection to Vanessa Lewis, part of J6's special forces.
