r/virtuafighter

When I was little kid growing up through the 90s…I never had the chance to play the first original VF. It was honestly the game I have always wanted to play…the only time I finally had the chance to play the game was when Virtua Fighter 3 came out for Dreamcast…it was from there on that I finally had the chance to play the iconic game for sega. I remember when I got VF3, I was constantly in front of my tv playing it..

Fast forward to now…since I found out the new Virtua Fighter Cross roads was coming out next year in 2027…I then decided to purchase and play Virtua Fighter 5 REVO.

Since then I’ve honestly been completely hooked and addicted to the game itself. I’m coming to a conclusion that I’m deeply in love with this game and that I’m coming to a conclusion that Virtua Fighter itself is my all time favorite video game. I’m honestly at the part where I want to go deep into the game…make it a journey ( any ideas?) on trying to get better.

Have you guys ever done that before? At the part where you keep playing at the part it becomes a journey?

Overall you guys…VIRTUA FIGHTER is such a video game classic and I’m honestly in love with this game even more. I can’t get enough of it!!! Have you guys ever felt the same way?

Btw…is it safe for me to say VF REVO is a lot more faster than ultimate show down?

my guy is honestly Akira, it’s finally gotten to the part where I’m a lot more comfortable using him. Lion and Leo Fei are also really strong and good to use as well. But overall…Akira is the one

This game has so much depth that even thinking about sitting hours in the lab is long. I don't know how you guys do it but yeah I think I'll remain superrr casual. 😂😬

Hey all,

I've been digging VF5 REVO quite a lot so far so much so that I'd like to invest in a dedicated controller for the game.

I'm currently using a Gamesir G8 controller which has been suboptimal for me for two reasons.

1 - I play Wolf and things like Screw Hook and Giant Swing on the dpad can feel slightly hard to pull off consistently.

2 - They put this rapid fire button immediately under the dpad that - if triggered - will grief me for the rest of the match.

So I've been looking at lever, leverless, and fight pad controllers

I tried to compare each from what I've ascertained reading about them it seems as if:

Leverless

Pros: both fast and precise

Cons: steeper learning curve

Lever

Pros: precise and intuitive

Cons: potentially a few frames slower

Fight pad

Pros: more familiar

Cons: still have a dpad (less precise)

This may be a terrible comparison and if so please let me know why.

But based on this, it seems as if leverless is the winning choice from a pure in-game performance perspective. In fact I believe the last EVO the top three players in the tournament all were using a leverless controller.

That said... I really want to try a lever controller.

Have any of you tried both and still prefer a lever and if so what's your reasoning?

Also if you could suggest any lever models that are well suited for VF5 that would be dope.

And finally, if I'm totally wrong about leverless being the best theoretically please correct my ass.
