Picked up Virtua Fighter 4 today!

Is nice.  A lot of the moves from the original characters were kept in.

This is going to be the Gran Turismo of fighting games.  If you get it, be prepared to spend a lot of time on it.

oh yeah and

Well I played about 45 minutes of it last night before I had to get some sleep.  So here\'s what I can tell you.


You create a profile with a character.  All the characters are ranked on how difficult they are to master from Beginner to Expert.  There\'s 13 fighters, 14 if you count DURAL(the boss).  Anyway you pick one fighter and work with him/her.  The game keeps track of your wins/losses and gives you a skill level and rank.

Each character has a counter or a reversal but it\'s different depending on who you pick.  It\'s a 3D games so basically there\'s no jumping (thankfully b/c that is gay) except for small hops to avoid sweeps.

I haven\'t had a chance to try them out but there are 3 different training modes to practice in.

The rings, especially snow, interact awesomely.  The graphics are better than the screens that have been posted here.

One other thing that\'s brand new is that you can create a "fighter AI" and train him through practice and sparring.  Given a certain condition, your boy/girl will react however you train him to.

I\'ll give you more details when I play it again tonight, yo.  If you want a rating it\'s as high as they come.  A 10, 2 thumbs up, Go get it today.

dude, i picked my copy up yesterday, its a great game, but have you played in that water level yet?  i played in arcade mode for a while, and went through the snow level, and the one with sand, but never did reach the water level, is it a secret level or something?
for those that dont know what i\'m talking about, here is a screen(its bad, but gets the point across):
http://gamespot.com/gamespot/filters/products/screens/0,11105,466561-333,00.html

visually my favorite level is the one where you are one top of a building and there is a helicopter flying around, shining light on you, the lighting effects in that level are simply awesome!  this game is great, if you dont have it, shame on you!

No I haven\'t seen that stage.  In Virtua Fighter 2 there was a hidden underwater level where all of your moves were slowed down.

One thing I learned the hard way.  Akira is a bad ass.

Oooooo, your going to Australia? Where are you going exactly? You going to the Gold Coast? Go to Dreamworld, one of the best theme parks in the WORLD!!! Has the most awesome rides (go on Cyclone and Tower of Terror...

Also, Fox Studios is cool.
