Virtua Fighter is a Fighting Game series produced by Sega's AM2 development team. Debuting in the arcades in 1993, it is notable for being the first truly successful 3D fighting game franchise, paving the way for the likes of Tekken and Dead or Alive.note Although Sega's lesser known Dark Edge predated Virtua Fighter by a year in having 3D movement, it used sprite-scaling technology instead of actual polygonal models.The game's story is about the dealings of the mysterious corporation, Judgment Six (J6) who holds the World Fighting Tournament as a front to create the ultimate fighter. A major recurring storyline in the game is with J6's involvement with some of the other competitors. Kage-Maru's mother, Tsukikage, is turned into Dural, the final boss of the series. Sarah and Vanessa are both kidnapped by J6, the latter used to make the newer version of Dural after Kage saved his mother.Compared to other fighting game franchises, Virtua Fighter doesn't have much focus in its storyline. This is partially due to trying to make the combat mechanics more realistic and the depth in the characters' fighting styles as a whole and the moves they use. Virtua Fighter is known for the balance of its characters between each other. The series is also notable for being one of the few fighting game franchises to preserve its character roster throughout every entry, adding newcomers without removing any of the established fighters. The sole exception was Taka-Arashi, who was retired in Virtua Fighter 4 due to the difficulty of integrating the sumo wrestling style into the new engine, only to return in Virtua Fighter 5R.The main lineup consists of: Virtua Fighter (1993, Model 1) (1994, Saturn) (1995, 32X) Virtua Fighter 2 (1994, Model 2) (1995, Saturn) (1997, Windows PC) (2004, PS2) (2012, PS3/Xbox 360) (2018, PS4 via Yakuza Kiwami 2) Virtua Fighter 3 (1996, Model 3) Virtua Fighter 3tb (1997, Model 3) (1998, Dreamcast) Virtua Fighter 4 (2001, NAOMI 2) (2002, PS2) Virtua Fighter 4 Evolution (2003, NAOMI 2) (2004, PS2) Virtua Fighter 4: Final Tuned (2004, NAOMI 2) Virtua Fighter 5 (2006, Lindbergh) (2007, PS3/Xbox 360) Virtua Fighter 5 R (2008, Lindbergh) Virtua Fighter 5: Final Showdown (2010, Lindbergh) (2012, PS3/Xbox 360) (2018, PS4 via Yakuza 6) Virtua Fighter 5: Ultimate Showdown (2021, PS4) — A Video Game Remake of the fifth game using the Dragon Engine from Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio's Like a Dragon series.Related games in the series include. Virtua Fighter Remix (1995, ST-V/Saturn) - A re-release of the first Virtua Fighter that features updated texture mapped graphics. Virtua Fighter PC (1996, Windows PC) - Features the original and Remix-style graphics. Virtua Fighter CG Portrait Series (1995-1996, Saturn) - A series of CGI gallery discs featuring image songs for each character. Ten main volumes (one for each member of the VF2 roster) were sold in Japanese retailer, while the eleventh disc (which covered Dural) was only given away as a mail-order by sending the spine cards for the other ten discs to Sega. Virtua Fighter 2 Genesis (1996, Genesis) - An official 2D demake. Virtua Fighter Kids (1996, ST-V/Saturn) - A version of VF2 starring chibi versions of the cast. Virtua Fighter GG Portrait Series (1996, Game Gear) - Similar to the CG Portrait Series, but features the Kids versions of characters. Only had two volumes: one for Akira and another for Pai. Virtua Fighter Animation (1996, Game Gear) - A 2D tie-in to the anime series. A version was released for the Master System in Brazil. Fighters Megamix (1996, Saturn) - A crossover with Fighting Vipers. Based on an abandoned Saturn port of VF3. Virtua Quest (2004, PS2/GC) - A 3D action RPG spinoff. Virtua Fighter: 10th Anniversary Remix (2004, PS2) - A retraux version of VF4 Evolution done in the same graphical style as the first game.A 35 episode anime aired in Japan from October 2, 1995 – June 27, 1996. Only the first 24 episodes were dubbed into English, though the entire series has been dubbed in Spanish, Italian, and Arabic. An OVA titled Virtua Fighter Costomize Clip was also released in 1996, consisting solely of animated music videos set to songs from the Virtua Fighter image song album Dancing Shadows. The OVA is incredibly obscure, but it can be viewed here.Akira, Pai, Sarah, and Jacky were playable guest fighters in the fifth Dead or Alive game. Akira, Pai and Dural have also made appearances in Project × Zone, with the first two together as a playable paired unit and the last as a recurring boss. Akira and Pai also return for Project X Zone 2, although Pai is instead a solo unit and Kage-Maru replaces her as Akira's partner. Akira also appears in Dengeki Bunko: Fighting Climax as a Final Boss with Pai as an Assist Character. He even appears as an Assist Trophy in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, in his blocky Retraux appearance from the first game.Now has a Fanfic Recommendations page.

Darker and Edgier: Virtua Fighter 4 began a trend where the series took on a more realistic and slightly darker tone compared to the more brightly-colored look and somewhat cartoony feel of the first three games (especially compared to the first and original Virtua Fighter). Though it's worth noting that the series still has funny/narmy moments from time to time.

4: Evolution: Brad is centered around smothering his opponents with a relentless stream of strikes, while Goh prefers a more technical game plan centered around throws and counters. Brad is also a Tall, Dark, and Handsome playboy with an eye out for the women competing while Goh is a hideously scarred and pale assassin with a different eye out for the other competitors.

Healthy Green, Harmful Red: Virtua Fighter 1 and its remix: Codifies characters' full health bar with a green colour, and damages/low health bar with a red colour (glowing red in the second game). In Virtua Fighter 2, the characters' health bar is shown in a green colour. As the characters beat each other, their health bar begins to show a red glowing colour.

 Virtua Fighter (Video Game) / int_44e013e4
comment
4: Lei-Fei and Vanessa are two very different takes on the concept of the Stance System; Lei-Fei requires a solid understanding of how to transition between his multitude of stances while Vanessa can freely choose between two discrete stances. There's also a degree of irony in their personalities; Lei-Fei is surprisingly violent and conniving for the traditionally peaceful Shaolin monks, while Vanessa is a much nicer person than her background as a soldier for Judgment 6 would suggest.

comment
Ring Out: A fight can be won by forcing the opponent out of the arena (or lost, if you accidentally step off the edge yourself). The effort required to beat an opponent this way is similar to depleting the health bar, and is also scaled for high-damage matches that last 30 seconds.

Tech-Demo Game: One of the tenants of the franchise which got more defined as time went on. In particular, the first one just showed the viability of a 3D polygonal fighting game at all; and 3 includes elements such as stages with much more clearly defined limits and angled floors, along with costume pieces that can be knocked off most of the fighters, to say nothing of Dural's new reflective design.

Difficult, but Awesome
 Virtua Fighter (Video Game) / int_9b9397bb
comment
Difficult, but Awesome: The series is widely recognized for being one of the most complex and difficult to get into in the fighting game genre, but it is also arguably the most well-balanced amongst its characters and a perennial tournament favorite. While the game has tier lists, a low-tier character can easily best a high-tier one with practice and skill. The difference is nowhere near as pronounced as in other series. Akira is generally considered one of the hardest characters to master in this already difficult to master game. That said, he consistently tops tier lists.

Wrestler in All of Us: Wolf, Jeffry, and Taka-Arashi. Both Wolf and Jeffry use grappling moves, while Taka-Arashi is a sumo wrestler. Beyond that, some of the other non-wrestling fighters use pro wrestling moves in their arsenal. For instance Lau has a jumping chokeslam and his daughter Pai can do a DDT.

Punch-Kick Layout: The control layout of the series mostly involves a single punch button, a single kick button and a guard button. VF3 also had an evasion button, which ended up being removed from VF4 that made evasions done by tapping up/down then returning to neutral akin to sidesteps in Tekken.

Incest Subtext: In whatever media they appear in, Jacky always seems just a little too close to his sister Sarah. One of the most blatant examples is in an animated music video of Jacky's theme song that has a flashback of him and Sarah playing together at a beach. Not as children, but as adults, and Sarah is wearing a pretty skimpy bikini. Anyone not familiar with the characters could easily assume they were lovers.

In addition to that, Jacky and Pai are ship teased on two separate occasions when they travel together without Akira, first being thought of as a couple on a honeymoon, and then confronted by paparazzi in the second season who think they're having a secret affair, since by that point they've become celebrities. In the actual games, Aoi/Brad is teased in one intro and one of Brad's special item wins.

Jiggle Physics: Virtua Fighter 5 uses this. The breast size and the type of clothing the female character wears actually affects the amount of jiggle, making this a much more realistic and well executed example than most. The only character this doesn't effect is Eileen, the youngest girl in the cast. Inversely, Vanessa, who has a large bust, jiggles no matter what she wears. Amusingly, Dural has jiggle physics, despite her metallic body.

Shown Their Work: When developing the early games, Yu Suzuki required the development team to learn martial arts. This helped make the moves realistic, and the style utilized by each character is a very close approximation of it in real life, with a few liberties taken for the sake of fun. For example, many of Jacky's moves utilize Wing Chun techniques, which were the foundation of Bruce Lee's Jeet Kune Do, as opposed to simply copying moves from Bruce Lee's movies, and ends up being much closer to actual Jeet Kune Do than the average Bruce Lee Clone.
