I'm now making some tribute videos for the guest stars of the fifth Dead or Alive game while putting all the games together. I'm starting with Virtua Fighter's mascot, Akira Yuki. Music comes from the Virtua Fighter 2 soundtrack.
I got tears in my eyes! Virtua Fighter 2 and Dead or alive 5 are amongst the number of games I spent most time playing. I just loved the fact that DOA had Akira as a guest character!
This was such a fine series. Why did it have to die? Come one, Sega! Bring it back. Street Fighter has returned. Mortal Kombat, Samurai Shodown, Kof and Fatal Fury too. It is your turn now.
This song now gives me ptsd, I tried beating Akira on the arcade 1.2 version of VF2 on verry hard difficulty playing as Lau Chan, and let me tell you, it's fucking hard.
Isn't Akira like the final boss in VF besides Dural? If so makes sense because he hits like truck and honestly frightens me more than Jacky on the hardest difficulty setting.
I'd love a fighting game mashup where Evil Ryu goes after other fighting game protagonists and only Akira is able to defeat him, despite not having energy attacks or anything like that. "ORA ORA ORA ORA!!!"
