Should You Play Virtua Fighter 5 Revo or Just Wait for 6?
7Do you need to play Virtua Fighter 5 Revo before Virtua Fighter 6? That’s the big question—because let’s be honest, Sega has been treating this franchise like a forgotten relic, and yet here we are, still throwing hands in Virtua Fighter 5 Ultimate Showdown like it’s 2006. So, is VF5 Revo worth your time, or is it just a glorified history lesson before Virtua Fighter 6 inevitably shows up and reminds people this series exists?
In this review, I take a very serious and absolutely unbiased look at whether Virtua Fighter 5 Revo is still playable in 2024, if mastering its pure skill-based combat is even worth it, and if the online scene is still alive (spoiler: bring a flashlight). Is this the best fighting game you’re not playing, or just a really intense warm-up for whatever Sega does next? And most importantly—should you actually be learning this game now, or just waiting for VF6?
As a very well-read gamer (which is definitely relevant to fighting game analysis), I will break it all down with 100% expert-level commentary and absolutely no button-mashing (citation needed). So, is Virtua Fighter 5 Revo still the king of skill-based fighters, or is it just a nostalgia trip for people who refuse to block? Let’s find out.
