Virtua Fighter 5 Trailer Is Sweaty And Masculine

I've never much liked fighting games. Of course, I've invested hours upon hours playing them, but after a week or so of absolutely playing it into the ground, I find myself utterly unable to pick up the controller while it is in the loading tray. It is as if the very memory of all that wasted time is too heavy, a burden I can no longer bear. And yet, when I'm away from my console, I often look back on those times fondly. I certainly don't mind completely catching someone off guard and being able to repeatedly crush them time and time again, especially since I'm known to play "those boring story games." This genre is really one of the best for multiplaying fun. At least for gentle people like me, who find FPS raids just a little too intense.

So it is with some pride I present to you the new Virtua Fighter 5 trailer. Beyond the realistic bodies (polygonal men never looked so good), I found singularly interesting the ability to customize the clothes your character wears and what they say and when. The annoying psyche-outs you can play against your opponent already are filling me with ornery glee.

When you see the level of detail they seemed to put into this game, even when traversing the menu screens, I think you'll be as excited as I am. So who wants to buy me a PS3?

On a side note: one of the new characters, El Blaze, kind of confuses me. He's apparently from Mexico (I always wondered how the Japanese viewed my people) yet he speaks like a blond surfer, has the stupid grin of a porn star, and theatrically fights like a half-drunk superhero. I can only hope that you get to see what he looks like without his mask, because with qualities like that, I find myself kind of in love.
