    At this year's JAMMA show, Sega unveiled the next level of fighting with the announcement of Virtua Fighter 5, running on Sega's new arcade platform, Lindbergh.

    In the trailer that was shown at JAMMA, the VF4 cast are briefly introduced within what appears to be the new stage designs. When the trailer seems to be over, two new characters are revealed -- a young girl and a masked man. Only time will tell what fighting styles these new characters will posess, and what changes are in store for the current cast.

    Initial impressions from various gaming media sites are very positive, so check them out, and you can also download handcam footage of the VF5 JAMMA trailer.

    The character models, stage geometry, textures and lighting effects are the best we've ever seen in a fighter, and that includes the footage we've been shown of other next generation fighting games. -- ign.com

    Virtua Fighter 5 should also feature the most impressive crowd to date -- always a graphical point game makers try to improve. In the trailer, dozens of 3D-rendered onlookers littered the background of the ring, showing off the raw power of Lindbergh. -- 1up.com

      Settled during VF3. Currently I believe Jacky is just trying not to have his sponsers killed off and Sarah just wants to beat Jacky's ass to prove herself and get her life back completely. (sibling rivarly I believe)

      Hopefully it's because her brainwashing is coming back. I liked her better that way.

      Brad, after hearing about the monkey girls acrobatic abilities, once again enters the tournament for a piece of ass.

      /KiwE (Isn't it about time someone had a long lost twin in a fightinggame considering how the stories otherwise follow soapoperas?)

      Lau is searching for a "Misterous Herbal Tea" which will cure him from his illness and make him invincibe /versus/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

      Pai CHAN wants to prove that she is better actress & fighter then her older brother Jackie CHAN !? /versus/images/graemlins/lol.gif

      Akira after losing another VF tournament went to mountains to practie his new technique SFMoD (SUPER FINISHING MOVE of DOOM). And then he heard that the is even more deadly technique that only one man on earth can perform. So he enters the 5th tournament to find Son Goku and learn his Ka-me-ha-me-ha. /versus/images/graemlins/laugh.gif /versus/images/graemlins/lol.gif

      Stupid as it can be.

      Man, Goku is weak. Jeffry would take him down with one combo:

      [4] [6]+[P], [K], [K], [P]

      It's over!

      I did saw the trailer and could not help but agree with your opinion that improvements were miniscule,and the two new characters were quite familiar ..one was taken from SC and the other from WWE..I think one wrestler is enough so what's the point of having two???? /versus/images/graemlins/tear.gif however it is much too early to say so since it has not come out yet so why not give it a chance.... I myself was quite disappointed at the final tuned version and I do hope they did the best they could because better is not enough with so many 3d fighting games out there!!!!!(just a thought) /versus/images/graemlins/deadpan.gif /versus/images/graemlins/smile.gif /versus/images/graemlins/blush.gif

      "Gameplay details are still being kept under wraps, but the Famitsu story does reveal that we can expect a few new gameplay systems. One new system is hinted at by some of El Blaze's moves, which allow the wrestler to leap over and beyond downed opponents."

      Wth does that mean?

      Well we wont know until more footage is displayed. /versus/images/graemlins/indifferent.gif

      But I think its simple really. He prolly can just step over bodies on the ground while running like wrestlers do to go to the ropes or perform special moves like the Rock's "The People's Elbow". I haven't watched WWE as of recent but I think Jon Cena, the current champion now has a move similiar to the Rock's as well. /versus/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

      I think this will be great addition to the okizeme game if its done this way. I never did like how most characters can only do a standard leap with perfect position to get across downed bodies in VF4. Mind you I'm glad the super floaty jumps from VF1 and 2 no longer exist and hope it stays that way.

      You mean he'll do an idiotic chicken dance or a worm wriggle before performing a drop elbow or something....well I suggest he does this AFTER!!! that way it'll be very insulting to the opponent (and very embaasing to the player.) My point is why another wrestler when we already have one...just give wolf more moves for God's sake....why not a boxer or perhaps a mutated extra strong extra stupid experiment monster who can lapped his way at sarah or pai...my point is TOO MUCH OPTIONS CAN LEAD ONE ASTRAY!!!!!!! /versus/images/graemlins/mad.gif /versus/images/graemlins/mad.gif /versus/images/graemlins/mad.gif /versus/images/graemlins/mad.gif

      Backgrounds should not just be pretty but interactive as well..since I recall there was a magazine article comparing vf4 and tekken4 ,vf4 lost in the environment (ring) issue...but eventually overall vf4 won the comparison....Now everybody's talking about the new characters but what about Ms.DURAL???? anybody..anyone have any news about her???I do hope they'll think of something creative because for me the underwater arena in vf2 (I think this is where tekken5 got the idea of using hell as a contrast) is still the best ..in terms of creativity..they fell short in vf4 since there was no special setting at all...DON"T DISSAPPOINT US AGAIN PLEEEEEASE!!! /versus/images/graemlins/cool.gif

      Quick question for anybody: Is it documented in the article that people can move off axis? To me it seems El Blaze (this was noted by someone esle as well, cant remember) is simply doing a spin kick with image cap showing part of the revolution in his animation.

      Hmm, good question. When I first saw it that was what I thought aswell but since the off axis discussion started I thought the text said so.

      So is there support in the text or what?

      I think I was the one who started this topic of off-axis movement, a speculation on my part after seeing the screenshot of El Blaze facing the wall in what looked like a running motion. But, as others correctly pointed out, he was just in mid-animation of a sobat.

      If such details regarding VF5's movement system, like running off-axis, was available in that text I'm pretty sure we all would have heard of it by now. Nin, who posted the original links, and Srider, both read Chinese and I'm sure neither would have missed this huge detail.

      My bad.
