Scans for old Japanese Virtua Fighter guides & manga.

The last few years have been pretty interesting as far as Virtua Fighter goes, VF5US/esports, Evo Japan, The revival of VF.Net for VF4 through Flycast, etc.

Lots of amazing news and cool stuff! but even then I'm sure a lot of people are still thinking about what the future holds for this series "it's a mystery" so how about we take a look back at the past of VF and rediscover some history and frame data for some old games.


Weekly Famitsu Special Edition - Virtua Fighter 3: A VF3 guide with frame data for vanilla VF3, strategies, interviews with devs & pro players, behind the scenes stuff, & more.

Virtua Fighter 2 Maniax: A VF2 Guide for VF2.0 with more of the same but for VF2.0 of course, very interesting stuff.

I've been looking around the web archive and recently a good number of Japanese Virtua Fighter official guides and magazines have been uploaded, so I tought it would be nice put them together in a list, and what better place for that than VFDC!

So, here's a list of the guides & official manga that have been scanned so far:

VF1:

Virtua Fighter Sega Saturn Fighting Manual Vol. 1 For Novice

Virtua Fighter Remix Sega Saturn Fighting Manual Complete

VF2:

Virtua Fighter 2 Maniax

Virtua Fighter: Akira No Ken, Vol. 1

Virtua Fighter: Akira No Ken, Vol. 2

Virtua Fighter 2 Ten Stories

VF3:

Weekly Famitsu Special Edition - Virtua Fighter 3

Fighters Megamix Mega Books Ultimate Guide

VF4:

Virtua Fighter 4 Perfect Guide

VF5:

Virtua Fighter 5 White Book -Keep It Real-

Virtua Fighter 5 Black Book -Keep It Moral-

That's all we have so far, I'd like to thank all the people that have put the work and money to make these scans possible. Hopefully we can get more in the future, stuff like the VF4FT guides or VF2.1 guides would be cool.

Anyway if there are any new uploads, I'll try to update this post as soon as possible. if you're wondering what other stuff hasn't been scanned a good place to check would be segaretro.org

I hope some people here find this interesting.

 

Cool!
