<span style='font-size: 17pt'>VF5 at World Cyber Games 2008</span>
The World Cyber Games is the world's first "Cyber Game Festival", designed to build a healthy cyber culture. The best gamers around the world gather into different cities to share the excitement and fun of the game tournaments.
For the first time at WCG, Virtua Fighter 5 on the Xbox 360, will be a featured game at this prolific event. This serves as a significant milestone in the history of Virtua Fighter, particularly outside of Japan, in that it is being recognised on a global scale in the Pro Gaming circuit for the very first time.
To some this news may seem long overdue, and to others the timing may appear to be just right. With the introduction of Online versus in the Xbox 360 version, VF5 has experienced a revival of sorts with many new players quickly rising in skill level with daily competition at hand. VF5 at WCG 2008 may yet add more fuel to the competitive fire that's currently ablaze!
Time to start training! Are you ready?

Revealed in a demo trailer at the 2008 AOU show, Virtua Fighter 5 R shows two additional characters, one of them pictured here while the other, briefly seen in the AOU demo, appears to be Taka Arashi, the sumo wrestler introduced in the VF3 series, but then omitted from VF4.
