#99 Results of trying each Virtua Fighter 4, 5, & VF5FS character--and which ones I'll stick with!
2Over 60 or so of the preceding videos have been me playing each of the available characters in Virtua Fighter 4's Kumite mode, Virtua Fighter 10th Anniversary's two arcade routes, Virtua Fighter 5's Quest mode, and Virtua Fighter 5 Final Showdown's Special Sparring DLC mode.
Now that I've completed that little experiment--I jumped in without doing any Command Training for them, and played each character chronologically through the four games, or at least the ones in which they appeared--I take time in this video to give my impressions of each character in the games in which I played them, and to decide upon which game in which to play each character going forward.
The quick version (spoilers! : P):
VF4: Aoi, Kage, Lau, Lion, Shun, Vanessa
VF5: El Blaze, Goh, Jeffry, Pai, Wolf
VF5FS: Brad, Jacky, Jean, Sarah, Taka
And I'll be playing some Vanessa even in 5 and FS, since those versions play very differently--and maybe a little Kage, too, since he's got some ridiculous moves in those games that are just fun to exploit against the AI, who don't seem to handle them very well. ^_^
First thing will be doing the Command Training for the characters! = o
(I'm not going to be playing much more 10th Anniversary, I don't think--its single-player is very limited. But it was useful to use as a stand-in for Virtua Fighter 4: Evolution--which has a bright, flashing hit effect that my eyeballs dislike--since it uses the VF4:E characters and moves, even if they're in a weird VF1-style setting.)
(Oh yes, and I'm not going to be playing Akira, Eileen, or Lei-Fei for now--they're just characters I don't really click with yet.)
(I have my 3rd dan Wolf Hawkfield AI--in the P2 position--playing against other AIs in VF4's Kumite mode on the left side of this video, because who wants to watch some moron moving a cursor in a ghetto text-based spreadsheet for two hours? : p)
