#84 Virtua Fighter 4 PS2 \\ Jeffry McWild starts VF4 Kumite! VF1 model unlocked! Dan wall hit! = o
I was kind of scared of Jeffry McWild but it turns out he's a big, lovable goofball--this is more apparent in his Virtua Fighter 4 ring entrances and win quotes than it is in later VF games.
He's an Aboriginal Australian fisherman and pankration (the game spells it "Pancratium") Greek boxing/wrestling practitioner! ("It was known in ancient times for its ferocity and allowance of such tactics as knees to the head and eye gouging. One ancient account tells of a situation in which the judges were trying to determine the winner of a match. The difficulty lay in that fact that both men had died in the arena from their injuries, making it hard to determine a victor. Eventually, the judges decided the winner was the one who didn't have his eyes gouged out. Over time, however, maneuvers like eye gouging were discouraged to prevent such unpleasant incidents." https://classicalwisdom.com/culture/sport/pankration-greek-martial-arts/ & Wikipedia)
Jeffry turned out to be really easy to use; I shot up to 1st kyu rank with him faster than I have with any other character, I think. You can get really far just by mashing on his big, meaty hit buttons, you see. He's got good strong punches, kicks, and throws.
After getting to 1st kyu though I hit a nasty losing streak against high kyu and low dan-ranked characters. I think the main problem I was having--aside from just being an eternal n00b--was not knowing effective approach or "getting in" moves with him.
I did eventually get to 1st dan rank, unlocking his VF1 model--and it's kind of on the awful side. So straight and skinny! The horrors! : D I found it pretty distracting and had to go back to the regular VF4 Type A mode. : P

1:31 - checking out the starting costumes and equipping the "Snake Brace" I'd won previously in VS mode (fighting my own AI character/s)

34:22 - reached 1st kyu rank and here's where I hit a pretty good speed bump : P
53:26 - 1st dan rank! This means the VF1 model is unlocked--but you have to leave and come back in to switch to it
56:45 - equipping the "Silver Sunglasses" I won : )
58:07 - into Kumite with Jeffry's VF1 model! (Press and hold P and K immediately after selecting your saved character)
58:32 - the horrors! the low poly horrors! =O (really I just found it weird how straight and skinny he was ; )
1:01:33 - back in with brawny, cuddly PS2 Jeffry! Time to get better! : o
