These videos are a series of rematches between the two finalists from the WCG Philippines 2008 Tournament for Virtua Fighter 5. These games were played over XBOX LIVE. I'm using Jacky while Ismael is using Akira. In these set of rematches, Ismael won a *LOT* more matches than me :( So I suppose you could say that Ismael got his revenge hahaha! I did have a lot of fun because the matches weren't so laggy (we were both on PLDT) compared to my usual experience on XBL playing against opponents from other countries. I was able to record only 4 replays of our rematches; two of the matches were wins from me, while the other two were his wins. I'll be uploading some more in the days to come. NOTE: Fully retiring myself from the world of competitive gaming; no longer planning on joining any international competitions. I am interested in helping find future champions, though :) Never retiring from playing VF just for fun; more and more, it's becoming my favorite fighting game of ...

I found these from http://www.virtuafighter.jp/ . Oh, if only SEGA had better distribution for their fighting games! We're stuck with TEKKEN 6 here in the Philippines. I tried it the other day and I really didn't like it. Couple that with VF5's dismal sales on the Xbox 360; it looks like VF5 Live Arena will be the last VF game that I'll be able to play on my console unless I get a Playstation 3.

I found this on VFDC the other day, I didn't know Jacky got an extra winning pose in Version D. It's the best one. Too bad it's not on the Xbox 360 version! (To see the winning pose right away, fast forward to the 3 minute mark). Who wouldn't be annoyed by that one! Hahaha!

Ever since SEGA patched VF5, the game has allowed players to save their online Xbox Live matches on their Xbox 360 hard disk drives and view them again later on as match replays. I thought this was one of the best features of the game, since it would let you review online matches and learn from your mistakes, and it would also let you revel in those hard-earned victories and close matches! Now I've recently recorded some of the best online matches I've ever had and I'm currently in the process of uploading these to Youtube. These replays not only demonstrate the level of competition that's available for VF5 on Xbox Live; they also show how great the netcode is for the game. The way it plays online practically feels like you're playing right next to your opponent. Granted there are those very rare occasions when you get into a laggy match, but for the most part, online matches feel and play as smooth as is demonstrated by this video. Note that my internet connection ...
