      ok its been a week now..and I can fianlly gather my thoughts :LOL:

      1000% agree I'm amaze at the thought process of the devs for the new animations. THIS is what I've been talking about all these years. These animations look soo smooth, the sound quality is so goood, the pacing so intricate and quick like a real martial art fight in the movies. They've definitely got inspiration from them. I feel like even the sound effects are based from the movies too. it helps me to think that way when there was no music involved. THIS is the presentation I've been waiting for!

      Also agree, ringouts are what made Virtua Fighter. It would suck if they omitted them out completely. The teaser we've gotten is only just 1 stage. I'm sure they'll have options, to choose of various stages big and small, ringouts or none, walls or no walls. All that will be there no doubt.

      I'm not as anxious as I was months before the teaser trailer. I'm extremely hyped for this game. I just hope we get to see more of this project in the near future and hoping the pr for this is top notch and frequent enough to maintain interest. I could just imagine the hype for all character reveal directs :p

      as for characters, I wont be surprised if they have a small roster at launch (about 20-25) and increase in the numbers of characters along the seasons (I'd be absolutely fine with this).

      Its honestly so good to just see VF in something other than the number 5 attached to it.......its so good..

      I hope vf5us and VF5Revo gets more customization content and costumes to tide over till VF6. I'm hoping the game releases no later than early 2026.

      Lol! Meter is literally not a modern concept. That has been in cartoony fighting games for decades.

      I believe in the return of a fourth buttun to make some basic actions easier.

      In that regard a very interesting theory on Virtua fighter VI dodge system and Kensei, credit to ThefightersDen.
