Virtua Fighter 5 Online Hands-On
What happens when Sega’s premiere fighter meets the Internet? Gamespot’s got an exclusive hands-on to discover the answer.
"We tried a few matches, and, with our total hypersensitivity to lag, of course we noticed it. However, what we experienced wasn’t game-breaking. It’s definitely there, but it’s possible to compensate for it. We had some issues initially timing our counters with Aoi, but after a bit it was possible to get used to the latency. We reckon players who favor Akira will be having some fun times pulling of SPOD combos, but it also seems like a doable thing once you get used to how the game plays online. Your mileage will of course vary with lag, depending on your proximity to your opponents and the quality of everyone’s connections."
