Sega Details New Fighters For Virtua Fighter 5 R

via Wired News

Sega has finally revealed some solid information on the two new characters being added to Virtua Fighter 5 upgrade, Virtua Fighter 5 R.

The first addition, Jean Kujo, is a French Karate practitioner whose angst-filled style has driven many fans to speculate on possible connections to Virtua Fighter 4's gothic Judo fighter Goh.

Additionally, Taka-Arashi (who had been missing from the series since his last appearance in Virtua Fighter 3) will return to the fight, presumably with his sumo wrestling-inspired fighting style intact.

No release date or platform information has yet been released, though you can be sure Virtua Fighter 5 R will hit Japanese arcades well before any consoles.

good news! nice! look foward to the classic vf fun!
