Virtua Fighter Love

Dark Butterfly Pai

Okay, I admit it.  I am a gamer.  I have loved the electronic video games since the craze started in the late 70s and 80s and I have spent who knows how many quarters in an arcade playing them.

I this day and age, I have been into Genshin Impact, Honkai Starrail, Cobra Kai and several others.

Lately though, I have been revisiting the fighting/dueling games such as Virtua Fighter and I decided to share a bit since SEGA released Virtua Fighter 5 REVO.

The thing I really love about Virtua Fighter is that there is such attention to detail that the developera took when designing the game.

Every fighter has a distinct moveset usually based on specific fighting styles and strategies.  I found the motion capture almost  hypnotic when I watch characters like Pai,(Enseiken), Shun Di(Drunken Fist) and Lion(Mantis).  Impressive work.

There is also a lack of the overly fantastic move sets and attacks(hadouken, shoruoken, etc.). 

The link above is from the arcade mode of VF5 using Pai Chan in what I call the Dark Butterfly outfit.

Enjoy!
