    I had all but forgotten about disco Kage. They should bring that back. He needs a non-ninja outfit, Kind of like what they did with Aoi.

    /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/laugh.gif People are stil sore about that?

    Just a friendly FYI, but Costume E was introduced with VF5 Ver.D, which was obviously before R. Still, it's nice that Sega/AM2 have included them on their website finally.

    Also, please don't let this thread degenerate into another stupid "X looks gay" discussion. Some people need to remind themselves that the game is produced for the Japanese market, and therefore appeals to Japanese culture and taste. Their cultural sense of cool and macho can be vastly different to yours and mine. The world doesn't revolve around you. Accept it, and move on.

    why does akira have to be front and center on everything vf. i mean, he was ur default "ryu" when every game had to have a ryu. and he is the focal point of every vf cover, the poster on this link is his, but why? really he is one of the lamer character builds when u stop and consider he was ganked from SF. hell, he is even the vf5 load timer. i dont get it

    So because he wears a white gi, he was "ganked from SF"? If you knew anything about Akira you'd know he's as far away from anything SF related as is the entire VF series.

    As the VF icon, Akira just works. You see a dude dressed in a gi and you immediately recognise the fighting/martial arts genre.

    hmm I always thought Akira was one of the coolest characters to emerge from any fighting game. He is a tough character to learn and his personality is a reflection of his difficulty. In VF5 he was more accessible to newcomers but in R he "seems" even more simple but nevertheless I always thought the elbows and shoulders were awesome.

    ^ Same.

    Even with him being made more accessible, I still feel he's up there as the toughest character to begin with, simply because of how he is played. And even with the simpler execution, he still has some of the toughest combos and single execution moves in the game compared to the rest of the cast.

    Duno, to me, Akira IS VF. He has a real simplistic beauty to him in how he is played. Simple yet complex, I guess. If any of that makes sense. Don't think I would choose anyone else to represent the series, especially not at this point. Even though the original cast from VF1 and even VF2 all hold huge iconic status with the series.

    It's not racism. Relax! /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/grin.gif /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/laugh.gif
    I think you know AM2's policy about the languages in VF games. English fot the Western characters and Japanese for the Asian characters.
    This is not Tekken to have Korean, Japanese, Mandarin & English.
