    Looks like a tank-top, the character is either a female or an androgynous guy (like Chibita!).

    I can't tell whether its a guy or a girl either. Either way, I don't care. The character looks great.

    Wow, great info!
    The charachter might be gay, hermaphrodite, lesbian, faggot, knucklehead, be dumber than Jeff and have Eileen customization items but I already decided.... I'm gonna use it! I am first to say it, so no one touches my tanktop boy! That's my gay char! Got it?

    Okay /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/smile.gif

    I didn't notice the first time, but the stage shown on the screen ISN'T SQUARE!
    That means that even though they will probably remain flat, they shouldn't feel as boring /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/smile.gif Mayb those stages will be open on two sides, and closed on other two /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/laugh.gif
    A great addition would be a Football field stage. With Kage, you can score some points by TFTing opponent above the goal-thingie that yiu have in american football (sorry, I don't know a thing about the sport /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/laugh.gif ).

    Edit: The stage DOES look like it's open on two sides /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/smile.gif Great!

    Yep, turned up the brightness on my screen and its definately a sports bra(or a cut tanktop) under an open hanging gi. The jawline and lips closely resemble Vanessa's. You can also notice a bit of a bulge on the chest.

    Definately a female character, now for that weight class.

    So, more info over the weekend then, nice, KoFXII and VF5R reveal at once...

    Chibita doesn't even begin to represent the effeminacy of guys in Japan. Wow. This guy probably represent a lot of Japanese guys the best.

    Karatestances and TKD stances (and techniques) have a lot incommon, so sorry that's not valid or leans him towards TKD. Kokutsu dachi is the karate term for that stance and if anything it's used more in Karate then TKD (who mostly use it in pomse which are their katas). I don't think we should read to much into the stance aspect of things in general though. I'm surprised everybody is avoiding the elephant in the room - his red powerglow reminisent of Tekken curseseals etc while talking about his stance and tanktop ^^

    Can't wait for a video to emerge.

    Tekken?

    The first thought in my mind when seeing that image was:
    OMG?! They put in Akuma/Guoki!
    Expect aerial fireball spammage...
    That'd be a twist, an almost entirely jumping character. -_-'

    And then I noticed the feminine traits. Which I thought were far more intruiging really.

    Which puts me on another interesting notion, have they pulled a yin-yang between Akira and this one. In that case the character should be female and black and evil and pissed-off and dead...

    Fighting style = sleep walk fighting

    Whatever it is I'm still gonna use "it" /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/laugh.gif

    And KiwE is right, that stance reveals nothing, I trained both of those martial arts, and similarities in some of techniques are to big to tell the difference based on that screen. I always wanted a TKD character in VF, however I was almost sure that because of Sarah they would rather go into Karate than TKD... never thought they will actually do a Karate char, while there are so many styles not yet introduced in fighting games. But hell, I'm happy /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/smile.gif

    I was pleased when hearing that VF5 Evo was finally announced (now it's VF5:R ... wow).

    But really: where is the innovation?! Virtua Fighter has always been the series that was pushing a system to its limit adding new dimensions to the gameplay for each sequel.

    Slightly transformed stages, and again two new characters (one of them most likely recycled - though I love Taka back in VF3) floods the over-loaded character pool once again. That really can't be it ...

    But this isn't a sequel really, isn't it? It's just tweaking VF5's form more than a revolution. Evo didn't rediscover the wheel, but it was immensly enjoyable to me - if "R" will provide the same level of entertainment within already familiar form, I'll be all over it like a mizanthropic geek over the Sims /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/grin.gif .

    Not overly excited about the new characters though. I mean, looks ok but it's really just more arms to snap to me...

    EDIT: I didn't mean that Leo looks bad, it's just... It may (or may not) have tits, but Goh already has JUDO and VF chars simply cannot get more awesome unless they somehow feature Segata Sanshirou himself (what are you waiting for, Sega??).

    Karate vs judo, heheheheheh... Looking forward to it /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/laugh.gif

    Is that male or female? It looks too freaky for a Karate character even for a VF character!
