Virtua Fighter 5 demo on Xbox Live
The truth is, we were excited to try the demo but then were even more excited when we saw some of the character names. Sure, you have perennial classics like Wolf Hawkfield and Jeffry McWild. But now you have lucha libre wrestler "El Blaze" which, roughly translated, means "The Blaze." Who says games don't teach you anything?

I can't believe I missed this going up! I will have to get me a bigger hard drive at this rate.

Like DOA4 good? Who cares if its reduced from 8 to 12? It'll probably play and look better than the ps3 version.

Second, going from 8-12 frames is actually pretty big deal when it comes to a fighting game, maybe not as one that a little bit more slower paced then the others, but still a big deal. It takes 12 frames to go through the whole animation, which means there is more room to dodge/counteract for the opponent.

I've got the PS3 version and I'm admittedly envious of the online-connectivity of the X360 version. I'd even petition SEGA to release an online access update if I thought I had a snowball's chance in hell that they'd do it.
Spoken like a true xbox fanboy...

I'd take the dated PS3 version over this version any day of the week!
Tekken Dark Resurrection BLOWS VIRTUA FIGHTER 5 TO BITS!!!!!!!!! I wish they would release an online patch specifically for PS3 and Xbox 360 owners of the same game to duke it out; 360 WOULD BE PWNED BECAUSE OF THAT WACK A$$ CONTROLLER! ROFLMAO
