Sure, we've already taken a long, hard look at SEGA's forthcoming Virtua Fighter 5 for PlayStation 3 here at IGN. However, given yesterday's fleeting office visit by our friendly, local SEGA PR chap, we thought we have a quick stab at the game to see how things are coming along.
If you're a fan of the legendary series, you're probably already well aware of Virtua Fighter 5's two new characters - the Lucha Libre-inspired El Blaze and Monkey Kung-fu-ing Eileen. Both were present and correct in the build we played - as was the newly-implemented 'Offensive Move' technique, enabling you to dodge blows by circling around your opponent while moving in out out, pressing diagonally on the d-pad.
