0. INTRODUCTION
===============
The information here applies to arcade version of Virtua Fighter 4, version C.
If you have played earlier versions, keep in mind that several things were
removed, corrected and modified in the final release (stuff like motions, frame
stats, animation properties, etc.)
In Yu Suzuki's own words, Virtua Fighter 4 is the sequel to VF2, not VF3tb,
hence perfect squared arenas without slopes. Taka-Arashi is gone (the given
reason was him not being very popular among players), but two new characters
were added, named Lei-Fei and Vanessa Lewis. Several new features were
introduced:
- getting up quickly (tech rolls and quick rises),
- all throws gained execution times (they were instantaneous in VF1/2/3),
- new ways of dodging, making use of 8-way movement,
- special wall attacks,
- new kind of return skill, the sabaki,
- charge attacks;
And that's not all - I'll be trying to describe the new features gradually in
the next sections of this FAQ.
Virtua Fighter 4 version A (the original) was released August 1st, 2001; the
first revision, version B was released August 20th, 2001. Version C was released
in late January, 2002. Version C for Playstation 2 was released January 28th,
2002. The next installment, Virtua Fighter 4: Evolution has been released in
September 2002 (Japanese arcades). To this day there is no official information
on home release of VF4: Evolution.
One more thing - you will not find any playing strategies in this guide, it
only contains objective info about the game.
===================
I. GENERAL NOTATION
===================
As used in the movelists and throughout the whole document. Most of the below
notation is widely used in other Virtua Fighter related documents. Use this
list as quick reference chart.
The info below is meant to be used in cooperation with system description (the
next major section) - if you come up against something you don't understand,
refer to "The System" chapter.
=-=-=-=-=-
a) Motions
=-=-=-=-=-
< P,K,G >
Press punch, kick and guard buttons, respectively. Although the standard arcade
setup is G,P,K, is has become a tradition to mark buttons in P,K,G order. Also,
keep in mind that some (wrong ;) arcade setups may differ from the standard one;
P,K,G is often found. I strongly recommend playing on G,P,K though (that applies
to PS2 version too, since in many tournaments you cannot use your own setup and
are forced to play on pre-programmed one).
< f,b,u,d > ; < F,B,U,D >
< df,db,ub,uf > ; < DF,DB,UB,UF >
For the former, input forward, back, up or down on the stick, respectively. The
latter stands for diagonal (corner) inputs. Hold all motions if capitalized.
< FC >
Move has to be executed from crouching position - either hold D or enter the
motions after executing a move that recovers in crouch, eg. a low punch (d+P).
You can also use a crouch dash, which can be buffered.
< FS >
Move has to be executed from standing position only - execution from crouch
will result in different attack. It's possible to execute FS-type moves from
crouch with a help of "instant stand" - buffering a standing dash while
ducking.
< WS >
Move has to be executed while standing from the crouch (within the animation
frames); sometimes another type of notation is used to denote such moves
(FC,n... etc.)
< n >
Return the stick to neutral OR let go of the stick completely. Also used as 'no
motion' note.
< + >
Commands must be executed simultaneously.
< , >
Motions have to be entered separately. If the "," is doubled, you should pause
for a second before inputting next motion.
< ! >
In case of Akira's knee, the button may be held for one frame only.
< asc,P / asc,K >
Execute while ascending into a hop.
< mid,P / mid,K >
Execute while in the middle of a hop.
< desc,P / desc,K / desc,d+K >
Execute while descending from a hop.
< K,K,K... > ; < D+K,K,K... >
Keep pressing K for mid-level rising attacks; holding D on the stick will
result in character doing a rising sweep. You can enter the motions at any time
while twisting or rolling away (doing so later in some types of rolls will
results in a delayed rising attack.)
< [BT] >
Move must be executed with your character's back to opponent.
< [xx] >
Denotes a special stance, unique to the character.
=-=-=-=-=-=-
b) Hit Level
=-=-=-=-=-=-
< H,H*,M,M*,L,L*,G >
Denotes basic hit levels: high, special high, mid, special mid, low, special
low, ground, respectively.
< Ht,Lt,Gt >
Stands for high-, low- and ground-level throws (there are no mid-level throws).
< side-/back- >
Execute the throw while facing opponent's side/back, respectively.
< wall- >
Denotes a special throw variant executed near the wall. Exact positioning
required is listed for each case. Only high wall throws exist in VF4.
< catch- >
A inescapable throw with (usually) much longer execution time and other special
properties.
< rev- >
Reversal/inashi/sabaki hit level - all return skills hit at the level of
opponent's attack.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
c) Reversal/Inashi/Sabaki Type
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
If no reversal/inashi/sabaki type is specified (the '-' note), the move cannot
be reversed. If there is no type given at all, it is unknown whether or not the
move can be reversed; updates forthcoming.
Reversal types apply only to the last move of a canned sequence.
< HP > : high-level punches
< HK > : high-level kicks
< HE > : high-level elbows
< HCR > : high-level crescents
< MP > : mid-level punches
< MK > : mid-level kicks
< MCR > : mid-level crescents
< LP > : low-level punches
< LK > : low-level kicks
< GP > : ground-level punches
< GK > : ground-level kicks
< EL > : elbows (mid)
< SK > : sidekicks (mid)
< KN > : knees (mid)
< SM > : somersaults (mid)
< SW > : sweeps (low)
=-=-=-=-=
d) Damage
=-=-=-=-=
Damage inflicted by respective attacks, in points. A "0" means that a move
connects with opponent but does no damage, while a "-" means damage isn't
applicable in such case.
< x+x >
Damage within the same move/throw.
< x~x >
Denotes damage range, in case of charge- and proximity-dependant moves.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
e) Frame Stats
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Notation section:
< exe >
Move's/throw's execution in frames.
< G >
A move is blocked (guarded against). In case of throws, frame disadvantage when
a throw is escaped.
< hit >
A move hits normally (without any counters).
< MC >
A move hits as major counter (interrupt).
Stats section:
< -x >
< +x >
Frame disadvantage or advantage for the character executing a move.
< D >
Move knocks down.
< KD >
Move causes kuzure down, refer to that move's notes for details.
=-=-=-=-
f) Notes
=-=-=-=-
< drink +x DP >
Shun gains x drinking points after hitting with the move. Shun will not drink
if the move is blocked or if the throw is escaped.
< sober -x DP >
Shun loses x * 10% (rounded down) drinking points after the move connects (if
noted at every move of a string, it doesn't mean that the combo takes away
the sum of those DPs).
< sacrifice x DP >
Shun sacrifices a number of his drinking points to perform a respective move.
Uses the same formula as sober.
< requires x DP >
Notation exclusive to Shun; he must have x drinking points in order for the
move to come out at all.
< charge >
Hold the last button press to perform a charged version of the attack. The fully
charged attack will crush opponent's guard (will stagger opponent without any
damage).
< G-cancel >
Move can be guard-cancelled while in execution; after-cancel effects vary from
move to move, check the movelists for details. The default result is character
returning to normal stance.
< ground >
The character is on the ground after executing the move.
< force crouch >
Respective move makes opponent crouch when it hits.
< = link > ; < == link >
The above stand for 2nd and 3rd elements of multi-sequence, respectively. There
are no 4- and more hit sequences in Virtua Fighter.
< = link [on x] >
Details:
- link on MC: the move will only come out if the previous attacks interrupts
(major counters).
- link on G: the move will only come out if the previous one is guarded against.
< sabaki >
Denotes a sabaki, a new return skill in VF4.
< vs. x >
Notation reserved for reversal-, inashi- and sabaki-type moves; it denotes the
type of move reversed. Refer to Reversal/Inashi/Sabaki Type section for details
on the abbreviations used.
< tsukame >
Denotes a so-called "stumble throw" - they usually do little or no damage,
punishment depends on your follow-up (sets your opponent up instead of damaging
him/her directly).
< to xx stance > ; < to xx position > ; < to xx system >
Character enters a special stance after executing the move and usually gains
new characteristics and move systems - refer to respective movelists and
stances section for further details.
< exits xx >
After performing the move, character exits the respective stance/system and
return to normal stance. If there is no "exit" or "to" notice, then the
characters will stay in the respective stance.
< continue with Px sequence >
The move can be chained to one of the character's punch strings (the ones that
start with regular P); refer to respective special moves section.
< x crumble > ; < flop > ; < slam > ; < head over heels >
Denotes that the moves causes a special animation when it connects under a
certain condition; consult the system section for more details.
< crouch stagger >
The move will stagger crouchers instead of knocking them down.
< guard stagger >
Move causes a special stagger even if it's blocked. Fully charged special moves
will usually remove opponent's guard.
< evade to opponent's back >
< evade to opponent's front >
< cannot be evaded >
For half-spinning attacks, evades must be made either to opponent's leading
foot ('back') or rear foot ('front'). Full-spinning attacks cannot be evaded
by normal means at all ('cannot be evaded'), exception: some character-unique
dodging moves. If no note is given, the move can be evaded to either way.
Other, more descriptive notes, can also occur - it would be useless to repeat
that stuff here.
==============
II. THE SYSTEM
==============
Virtua Fighter 4 gameplay system and other important details; basically, large
commentary to the section above.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
a) Arcade Layout & General Info
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Japanese sticks are usually square- or octagon-based, while the European
and US ones may also be circle-based. The button layout maybe be reversed for
your machine, especially for 2P side, making it "PKG" instead of "GPK".
ub u uf [Start]
\ | /
\ | /
b -- n -- f [P] [K]
/ | \ [G]
/ | \
db d df
ub : up-back u : up G : guard
uf : up-forward d : down P : punch
db : down-back f : forward K : kick
df : down-forward b : back
Reverse the directions for right side of the machine.
In Japan, there's a service called VF.net - it makes use of special magnetic
cards which are inserted into the machine every time you play; they record you
ring name, number of matches, and wins/loss ratio. You can access your rankings
through internet and cell phone, as well as general rankings of all VF.net
players. Too bad the system won't make it to the West ;)
Character and stage select screens:
| Akira | Pai | Lau | Wolf | Jeffry | Kage |
Vanessa | Sarah | Jacky | Shun | Lion | Aoi | Lei |
Press G or P or K to select your character; Start to select alternate outfit -
if your opponent has already chosen that outfit, you're left with the other one.
Costumes can be further altered by special vf.net options, and, as noted before,
these are not available on export versions of VF4. You have 15 seconds to choose
your character.
If your machine has stage select enabled, you will move on to the stage select
screen after choosing your character. The stages are arranged in a bit different
fashion, depending on wall presence:
| Arena | Cave | City | Castle | Island | Shrine |
Harbor | Aquarium | Temple | Gymnasium | Colosseum | Great Wall | Garden |
From left to right, unbreakable walls -> breakable walls -> no fence. You have
15 seconds to choose the stage.
CPU opponent order:
Unlike VF3, where there were several pre-defined sets of opponents, the order
in which you fight the VF4 CPU opponent is fixed.
- Stage 1: Lion, castle stage
- Stage 2: Lei, temple stage
- Stage 3: Pai, aquarium stage
- Stage 4: Kage, garden stage
- Stage 5: Jeffry, island stage
- Stage 6: Vanessa, harbor stage
- Stage 7: Lau, great wall stage
- Stage 8: Jacky, city stage
- Stage 9: Aoi, shrine stage
- Stage 10: Shun, cave stage
- Stage 11: Wolf, arena stage
- Stage 12: Sarah, colloseum stage
- Stage 13: Akira, gymnasium stage
- Bonus stage: Dural, factory stage
It's not necessary to beat Dural in order to finish the game and get the ending
credits.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
b) General Movement
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
In VF4, you can walk around the ring freely, with your opponent being a sort of
"center point". Besides simple walking around, there are several move patterns:
- step forward/backward: f / b
- inch forward/backward: F / B
- dash forward/backward: f,f / b,b
- crouch dash forward: df,DF / df,d,DF / f,d,DF / FC,DF
- crouch dash backward: db,DB / db,d,DB / b,d,DB / FC,DB
- run: f,F
- hop: u,hold P / u,hold K (uf / ub) - there are no high jumps except for Pai's
and Kage's specials, and jumping pounces that hit standing opponents
- dodge into screen: ub / u / uf
- dodge out of screen: db / d / df
- instant stand-up from crouching: buffer f,f / b,b
- instant crouch from standing: buffer df,df / db,db (there are also other
methods, like df,d,df etc.)
There are also special moves like evades, somersaults etc. - covered in details
in movelist section. Movement notes:
- a character is considered a standing non-defender during dashes, runs and
dodges, and a crouching non-defender during crouch dashes.
- dashes and runs can be cancelled by any button/stick input.
- dodges require you to return the stick to neutral.
- the above can be cancelled by crouch dashes or special evade moves.
- dodges have more distance if executed simultaneously with opponent's attack,
i.e., a "MC dodge" or "MC evade"; the dodging character can also emit a yell,
or the dodge can be accompanied with a special sound effect.
While you are back turned:
- tapping or holding G / b / db / ub will make you turn around.
- you may only walk (inch) away from the opponent by pressing forward on the
stick, or walk in any direction away from the opponent by initiating 8-way
walk.
- backdashes and backward crouch dashes (toward opponent) can only be buffered
in during TA moves, moves executed while back-turned, and preceeding
backdashes.
Executing moves like Kage's backturned ub+K or back-turned dash requires you to
enter the motions the moment you've turned away - otherwise, no move will come
out (you'll just turn towards your opponent, rather slowly.)
=-=-=-=-=-
c) Stances
=-=-=-=-=-
Characters' feet alignment in relation to each other. There are two types of
regular stance:
closed stance: open stance:
Player 1 Player 2 Player 1 Player 2
-------- -------- -------- --------
left right left right
right left right left
With 'left' and 'right' denoting respective limbs. If a character gets knocked
down, he/she retains the last stance.
Some characters possess unique stances and move systems:
- Aoi: yin-yang stance [YY]
- Jacky: slide shuffle [SH]
- Jeffry: threat stance [TH]
- Kage: jumonji stance [JM]
- Lei: independent system [IN] /originally: dokuritsu shiki/
defeat/miss system [DM] /hai shiki/
evade stance [EV] /nehan shiki/
tiger stance [TG] /koko shiki/
- Pai: circular evade stance [CE]
sway step [SW]
- Sarah: flamingo stance [FL]
- Shun: drunken stance [DR]
handstand position [HS]
lying position [LD]
sitting position [ST]
- Vanessa: muay thai stance [MT]
Cancelling moves/move sequences that end in entering a special stance will
usually make you end in respective stance, for instance Aoi can cancel her sweep
within a P,P,P,d+K,P+K+G with G,P+K+G to enter YY stance. There are of course
exceptions to this rule, but I don't have any detailed info as of now.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
d) Executing Moves
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
To execute a move, input the correct motions on your controls. Unlike in games
like Tekken, you can't do things like P,P+K by pressing P and then adding K.
You must release the first button.
You cannot execute anything while holding guard, but you can buffer some
motions in. There are two types of buffering:
while guarding
--------------
Input the whole sequence while holding guard but left the last motion out, for
instance:
* Akira, super dashing elbow: press & hold G, input f,f, let go of G and input
f+P without delay,
* Lion, face grab throw: press & hold G, input f,df,d,db, release G and input
b+P+G;
You cannot buffer the whole sequences! The last motion MUST be entered without
guard. There are a few exceptions to this rule; some things can be buffered
completely:
* dashes: press & hold G, f,f or b,b, release G;
* crouch dashes: ditto, just use any of crouch dash motions instead of f,f/b,b;
You can't buffer the following at all:
* evades/dodges/sidesteps;
* hops/jumps;
* single-motion moves: P, K, f+P, d+P etc.
* single-motion throws: P+G, f+P+G etc.
while in recovery or stun
-------------------------
This type of buffering offers greater possibilities, since you can buffer whole
sequences in after letting go of guard button - you can do that as long as the
block sound comes out.
special case: turning around, dodging while backturned
------------------------------------------------------
Usually, you can't execute moves with your back to opponent (any move input
will make you do a turn-towards attack, with slight exceptions), nor buffer
anything while holding G (you'll just TT after pressing G). But there's
a possibility of executing an attack right after you've turned away - just
enter the motions without any delay. Same applies to back-turned dodge. You can
turn away by executing an appropriate TA move, or by being hit while executing
some moves (eg. Jeffry's run,K+G).
special case: rising attacks
----------------------------
One press of K or d+K, in any point of a roll, is enough to execute an
appropriate rising attack (regardless of widely used notation). If a rising
attack that can be delayed, press K or d+K in the first few frames of a roll
to execute it without delay.
Almost all the moves that do not require stick motions can be performed while
holding forward or back on the joystick; all exceptions are noted - the same
applies to executing attacks from crouching position. Some attacks that require
a "d" motion can be executed from crouching position by holding the stick and
pressing appropriate buttons.
When executing a move in a juggle, and motion doubles as stomp, hold the
direction before inputting P or K, otherwise standing pounce will come out.
Phases of a move in VF:
- initiation (ini): input motions, nothing comes out on the screen yet - this
is a fairly abstract phase; however it's important nonetheless, because this
phase can be cancelled by tapping G before the execution phase begins.
- execution (ex): after the motions are entered, a move takes some time before
it collides with opponent; this is called execution phase. It determines the
move's attack speed.
- collision/coverage (co): polygon collision detection takes place at this
point, as well as the application of damage (there are exceptions to this,
read on).
- recovery (re): after the collision phase ends, the character can't just snap
back into ready state; it takes a number of frames to reach it. The recovery
time determines the rest of move's properties, like counterability, etc.
You might as well omit the first phase, at least for practical reference. Only
the three main ones, ex-co-re, are important during actual gameplay. Damage is
usually applied in the moment of move's collision detection; however, in case of
some arts, damage isn't dealt until character's body hits the ground, wall or
area outside the ring.
There are 4 main hit levels in the game: high (H), mid (M), low (L) and ground
(G). You cannot execute ground-type attacks if your opponent is not lying down,
falling or in recovery phase of a sacrifice move (like Shun's db+K,G). There are
also 3 special hit levels: special high (H*), special mid (M*) and special low
(L*):
- special high moves hit high level but cannot be interrupted by low level
attacks in hit phase,
- special mid moves hit mid level but if they hit a guarding crouching opponent,
they force stand and cause no damage,
- special low moves hit low level but can be blocked while standing.
Characters' behaviour with respect to position and G input:
- standing, non-guarding: H/H*/M/M*/L/L* hits normally; vulnerable to high
throws.
- crouching, non-guarding: high moves miss; mid and special mid moves hit
normally (some of them stagger or knock down); low and special low moves hit
normally; character is vulnerable to low throws.
- standing, guarding: H/H*/M/M*/L* moves are blocked; low moves hit normally;
vulnerable to high throws.
- crouching, guarding: high moves miss; mid moves stagger or knock down; special
mids do no damage, instead they force the opponent to stand; low and special
low moves are blocked, vulnerable to low throws.
- bouncing on the ground: most high moves miss; many M/M*/L/L* hit on the
bounce; you cannot be thrown.
- lying down: H/M/M*/L/L* moves miss, ground moves hit, vulnerable to ground
throws.
To block moves, just hold G (press/hold d+G to block low-level moves). There
is no guard damage in this game. Also, pressing guard on itself makes your
character align to opponent (if you're in a middle of tech roll, pressing G
will make opponent's attacks track you).
=-=-=-=-=-=
e) Throwing
=-=-=-=-=-=
To throw, you must be close to your opponent. If you enter the throw motions
while not in range (or eg. opponent crouched under your high throw), you get
a whiffed throw animation. Throwing is usually easier in closed stance.
Types of throwing techniques:
- High throws (Ht): requires opponent to be standing; all high throws end with
P+G and are escapable, including side- and wall- throws. Wall throws are
possible on both low and high walls. Back throws were made inescapable in
VF4 version B.
- Low throws (Lt): requires opponent to be crouching; all low throws (Lt) end
with P+K+G and are escapable, including side- throws.
- Ground throw (Gt): requires opponent to be lying on ground; ground throws end
with P+G and are not escapable.
- Hit throws (Hit): these arts are executed after connecting a special attack
on your opponent; all hit throws are high throws, and most are not escapable.
Special Shun note: he cannot be high thrown while in handstand (HS) position,
low thrown while sitting down (ST), or ground thrown in lying down (LD)
position.
Additional throw properties:
- side: you must be at opponent's side, more than 30 degrees off axis. Sometimes
left and right side throws differ in either stats or animation.
- back: you must be at opponent's back.
- catch: throws with longer execution time and a unique animation; catch throws
are not escapable. Most will only work on opponent's front, however some catch
throws are specifically back catch throws.
- wall: you must be within +/- 30 degrees to wall in order for the throw to
come out (positioning requirements vary, refer to movelist for details).
You cannot throw when:
- opponent is knocked down (exception: Aoi's, Jeffry's and Wolf's ground
level throws),
- opponent is falling down (exception: some kuzure down situations, see
Section F for explanation on what KD is),
- opponent is juggled (floated),
- opponent is executing a move (there are exceptions to this rule, as some
throws are capable of interrupting moves, and some moves are vulnerable to
throws; check the character movelists for details),
- opponent is hopping,
- opponent is staggered or stumbled, either after staggering/stumbling moves,
hitting the wall, stepping on ring edge (though you can throw just as the
special animation ends) or being KOed by specific moves while on the ground.
If opponent is back-turned, crouching or not, he/she can't be thrown by normal
means, even by stuff like surprise exchange type throws or Pai's f+P+K+G
(cartwheel). Only usual back throws and low back throws come into effect. The
only exception is Kage's f+P+G throw, which works regardless of position (front,
side or back).
Throws can be escaped by entering the last motions of the technique within 10
frames of opponent's throw coming into execution (after he finishes his throw
motion input AND execution phase ends!) Therefore, to escape:
* regular, simple-input P+G throws, enter P+G;
* so-called complex throws, with x+P+G input (all throws besides "pure" P+G
fall into that category), enter the last motion of the throw; that would be
f+P+G for: f+P+G / b,f+P+G / b,db,d,df,f+P+G, and so on and so forth.
* ditto for low throws, enter the last motion (eg. df+P+K+G to escape Jeffry's
power bomb).
The situation after a throw escape is usually advantageous to the escapee but
refer to appendix a) for complete stats on throw escapes. It's possible to enter
as many throw escapes as you can within 10 frames (usually, a triple is max
humanly possible), for instance, P+G,b+P+G,f+P+G will escape Kage's both
TFT and SE throws, and his regular throw. Peculiarities:
* you can mix low and high throw escapes - although only ONE low throw escape
can be entered in a sequence;
* within a throw combo (like Aoi's b,db,d,df,f+P+G -> b,d+P+G -> u,d+P+G), you
are allowed to enter ONE escape - if you enter more, and they're all in
correct frame windows, the last one comes into effect;
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
f) Stuns, Staggers, Stumbles & Crumbles
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
When a character is hit, he/she enters the phase knows as "stun" (also called
"hitstun"). Most stuns have a distinctive animation; the character usually will
show a certain reaction to being hit, and/or freeze in place for a time. Usually
you may buffer any moves freely while stunned, the same as general rules allow.
Certain special situations and animations exist after a character is struck by
a particular move and/or while in a particular state. While there are quite
a few special animations, only the most important are noted:
* Stagger: staggers generally look like the character is about to slip and fall
down. During a stagger a character is considered a 'standing non-defender'
(check the "Executing Moves" section for details). You can struggle out of
stagger (and therefore reduce the period of defenselesness) by wiggling the
stick and pressing buttons in rapid motion. You can also be staggered when
back-turned, usually under the same rules as when facing the opponent.
* Stumble: very similar to the above; the character falls to the ground for
a few frames and is helpless for a short period of time. That window can be
further reduced by struggling. Stumbles are produced by tsukame throws and
some special strike attacks.
* Crumble: a translation of the Japanese term "kuzure down". The character will
collapse in a special manner. There are three types of crumbling animations,
which all appear similar but have different properties:
- stomach crumble: the character holds his/her gut and falls face down and
head towards the opponent. During the initial frames of the stomach crumble
the character is vulnerable to low throws, as well as most strike attacks
and pounces.
- foot crumble: the character loses his footing, collapses and rolls onto
his/her back before landing face up head towards the opponent. The character
is not vulnerable to low throws but is vulnerable to most strike attacks and
pounces.
- head crumble: similar in appearance to the stomach crumble, but slightly
slower and perhaps more dramatic. The character will snap back, waver and
then fall face down head toward the opponent, vulnerable to most strike
attacks and pounces. The character cannot be low thrown.
- back crumble: the opponent arches their back and drops to his knees.
The character cannot TR/QR after any crumble knockdown, and the character is
vulnerable to ground throws after he has fallen.
* Flop: the character is whacked end-over and his/her legs flop up in the air as
he/she lands. The character cannot TR/QR and is vulnerable to pounces, ground
throws, and many strike attacks.
* Slam: the character is slammed hard, flat into to the ground, and cannot
TR/QR, and is vulnerable to pounces, ground throws, and some strike attacks.
This almost always applies only to floats, and it should be noted that the
vast majority of Flop moves will also Slam the opponent if it connects in an
air float.
* Side knockdown: an attack that knocks the opponent to the side. He recovers
in FD/HT position, with no QR/TR possibility.
* Head Over Heels: an attack which sends the opponent flying backward, head over
heels. Recovers in FD/HT, no QR/TR possibility.
Many normal stun animations appear similar to stagger animations which can be
struggled out of. It must be known that if there is any possibility of being
able to reduce rigour time, a small animated stick appears in the upper-corner
of the screen (on the side of character capable of doing so). At first the stick
is green, which means the system won't accept any input towards reducing
stagger/stumble time. This is basically to let you know that you will be able to
struggle out of a stagger. When it turns red, you may begin to struggle. Also,
the hit flash for a move that has produced a struggle-able stagger is red.
During stagger or stumble, you cannot buffer any moves in.
Lastly, some moves that normally knock down will only stun a back- or
side-facing opponent.

g) Damage & Counters
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Almost all the moves in VF4 do some damage. Damage is measured in points, and
sometimes (indirectly) as percentage of lifebar (such notation usually occurs
in combo lists). Damage is scaled in juggle combos by the rules below:
- opponent is juggled in the air and is defenseless,
- opponent is hit while hopping or jump pouncing,
- opponent is hit by non-struggable, non-avoidable attack (ground attacks and
pounces also fall to this category but they must be technically guaranteed),
- if a player doesn't QR/TR from non-guaranteed sequence.
Damage does NOT scale when:
- the opponent is hit by juggling move (combo damage begins to scale AFTER that
hit),
- whole combo occurs on the ground (opponent isn't knocked off his feet),
- the 'combo' is not guaranteed.
Some moves have built-in 50% damage penalty when they're used on knockdowned
opponents (does not apply to pounces). More on damage scaling in Nutlog's FAQ
- refer to that document for exact numbers and exceptions to the above rules.
There are two types of counters (don't mistake them with reversals, discussed
in the next section):
- major counter (abbr. MC): hitting an opponent while he's in the execution
phase of a move. Generally, you cannot throw as MC (but check the throwing
section). Major counters are represented by small yellow flashes on the
characters at the time of the hit.
- minor counter (abbr. mC): hitting an opponent while he's in the recovery
phase of a move or inside whiffed throw/reversal animation. You can throw as
mC, it's even encouraged.
Move damage increases with counter hits: +50% of base damage of attacking move
on MC, and +25% of base damage of attacking move on mC. There is no damage bonus
for mC throws.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
h) Reversals, Inashi & Sabaki
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
All the above are called 'return skills' (japanese term). They come into effect
when an opposing character is executing a move. As a result of performing
a reversal, his move is swept aside and your opponent is directly damaged.
Reversals aren't moves on their own - if you miss it (eg. due to range, or simply
input the wrong one), you get a missed animation; if you get hit while that
animation's still on, that hit counts as minor counter.
Inashi also isn't a move (missed animation!). It's a bit different than reversal,
since it doesn't damage the opponent; it only sets him up for other type of
punishment - in that field inashi moves are similar to stumble throws.
Sabaki is a new technique introduced in VF4 - it wasn't present in previous
versions. Some of the VF moves now have sabaki characteristics - it means that
they're able to sweep opponent's attack away while damaging him. Since sabaki
are also special moves, there's no missed animation. In other words, sabaki have
the highest priority against certain types of moves.
Notes:
* there are four levels of reversals, three levels of inashi & sabaki,
corresponding to attack levels in the game.
* you can only reverse strike attacks.
* moves that hit with two limbs or parts of the body other than limbs (eg. head
or butt ;) generally cannot be reversed, except two-footed rising attacks.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=
i) Getting Up
=-=-=-=-=-=-=
After being knocked down, there are several ways of getting up:
- tapping P+G,P+G,P+G... (or P,G,P,G,P,G...) will make you stand up in place,
you can also use P,P,P... however it's much slower.
- tapping u,u,u and P,P,P... will make you do a handspring (kip up).
- tapping u,u,u and G,G,G... will make you roll into screen.
- tapping d,d,d and G,G,G... will make you roll out of screen.
- tap b,b,b and G,G,G for backward roll.
Tapping P,P,P with other motions will make you rise faster; if you add K, the
character will execute the appropriate rising attack (which can be delayed
a certain amount of time.)
If you're floated and execute a proper motion just before touching the ground,
you can perform quick rises and tech rolls (instant recovery - IR, aka fast
get-up techniques):
- P+K+G for an instant handspring (quick rise: QR).
- u+P+K+G for an instant roll into screen and d+P+K+G - out of screen (tech
roll: TR).
QR/TR techniques have special properties, specifically:
- you cannot TR towards or away from your opponent's position.
- in case of QR, you are still vulnerable to ground attacks up to a certain
point. Past this point, near the end of the QR animation, at the end of the
kip, you are considered a standing non-defender.
- after performing a TR, you are still vulnerable to ground attacks up to a
certain point. Past this point, near the end of the roll, you are considered
a crouching non-defender. Furthermore, if you hold G during the TR, your
opponent's attacks will track you.
- if you've knocked your opponent down and he/she TRs, pressing G will make you
align with his/her character.
- if the character tries to TR while face down, head towards, attacks can
interrupt the character and will leave him/her back-turned.
- if the character tries to QR while face down, head away, attacks can interrupt
the character and will leave him/her back-turned.
You cannot TR/QR when:
- after hitting a wall hard, i.e., bouncing off the wall (after being hit with
an attack that does 21 points of damage or more). If you hit or nudge the wall
lightly you can QR/TR normally, but not if you hit the wall hard; the visual
effect is similar to that of being glued to or bouncing off the wall.
- after any crumble knockdown, flop or slam knockdowns; this is very important,
and moves that do this are noted in the movelist.
- after most throws; however there are some important exceptions. Check the
movelist for details.
If you don't decide to QR/TR, you may perform a rising attack. All rising
attacks are kicks, and their type depends on the knockdown position. Delayable
rising attacks can be performed in-place, after siderolling or backrolling.
Note: as an exception, it is possible to reverse some two-footed rising
attacks.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
j) Fighting Environment
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
In Virtua Fighter 4, all stages are squared. Some stages are surrounded by
walls, high or low; the walls are divided into sections. Most short walls can be
destroyed one section at a time - if smashed, they stay that way until the end
of match.
Damage is calculated in points, always rounded down in case of counters and
other +/- effects. If a character is KOed by low-damaging move, he/she doesn't
fall to the ground immediately - after "KO!" is called, he/she can be hit
again, floated, thrown etc. Every character has their own RO-behaviour style;
it's usually rather humorous.
Beginning of round:
- the match is preceded by sweeping views of the arena, and the challenging
character taunting the opponent, which can be chosen by pressing either G, P
or K; this entire sequence can be cancelled to start the round more quickly,
by pressing either start button.
- before "Go!" is called, you cannot buffer any moves or stances in (unlike
VF3).
Means of winning the round:
- opponent's vitality bar reaches 0.
- opponent falls out of the ring (if both characters fall at the same time, the
first one touching the round outside is the loser).
- time runs out, in which case the player with most remaining stamina wins.
- if there's a draw, both adversaries are awarded a round. If they are tied at
the end of the final round, a sudden death round commences: both players get a
single point of life on the life bar; the ring and time limit remain
unchanged. If the sudden death match round ends in a draw, the player with the
win streak will be given the win. If neither player has a win to his/her
credit, then the 1P player will be awarded the victory.
End of round:
- if you win, the character is returned to the middle of the ring.
- you can choose your winning pose by pressing P, K or G during replay.
- by pressing P+K+G or P+K you can choose so-called "old winning pose for your
character (Lei-Fei and Vanessa also have special P+K+G poses).
Also, each character has a unique pose during the end of round "Continue?"
countdown.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
k) Additional Info
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Basically, stuff that didn't fit into other sections.
< Special Shun feature: drinking >
Shun has a unique ability of increasing the damage inflicted. For each drinking
point earned, damage is increased 1%, with 40% (40 drinking points) being the
maximum; while calculating, remember damage is always rounded down. The movelist
lists the detailed ways of gaining DPs (look below); keep in mind that Shun can
be sobered after being hit with certain attacks - those are listed in each
character's section. There are also other effects, mainly the result of damage
increase - attacks that normally stun begin to knock down, etc. - more info on
this later. Some of Shun's attacks make him sacrifice some of his drinking
points. When Shun is sobered or sacrifices his DP, n * 10% of points is
deducted, rounded down.

l) Character Data
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Full stats can be found in respective characters' profiles.
character height weight
Akira Yuki 180cm 79kg
Aoi Umenokouji 162cm 47kg
Jacky Bryant 182cm 75kg
Jeffry McWild 183cm 111kg
Kage-Maru 178cm 66kg
Lau Chan 172cm 77kg
Lei-Fei 175cm 63kg
Lion Rafale 171cm 63kg
Pai Chan 166cm 49kg
Sarah Bryant 173cm 55kg
Shun-Di 164cm 63kg
Vanessa Lewis 175cm 55kg
Wolf Hawkfield 181cm 101kg
In Virtua Fighter, characters behave differently due to their weight - you can
see the difference mainly in floats; general weight classes:
* lightweight: Aoi, Pai, Sarah, Vanessa
* middleweight-: Shun, Lei, Lion, Kage
* middleweight+: Jacky, Lau, Akira
* heavyweight: Wolf, Jeffry;
The above is to just give you a general overview - every character is pretty
much unique. Also, some characters behave differently in certain situations.
More to come later on.
========================
III. CHARACTER MOVELISTS
========================
Refer to general notation section for details on how to read them. Movelist
section order:
1/ Special Moves:
Those include strikes, punch/kick strings, hit throws, links and so on. It also
includes special types of movement (like character-unique evades), unless it's
more applicable for the next section.
2/ Special Stance Techniques:
If a character possesses a special stance, all the techniques possible from
respective position are listed here. For moves allowing the character to enter
special stance, check Special Moves section.
3/ Throws:
All the normal throws are listed in this section - that includes regular, side-
and back- high/low throws and wall throws). For Back-Turned or hit throws,
check the respective sections; they're all listed there together with strike
attacks.
4/ Reversals/Inashi:
All the regular return skills and inashi techniques are listed here.
5/ Hopping Attacks:
Techniques executed after a hop (u+P or u+K).
6/ Ground Attacks:
Attacks that hit grounded/knocked down opponents. Keep in mind that some of the
arts from Special Moves and Throws sections do so too.
7/ Turn-Away Attacks:
Moves that make your character turn his/her back to opponent.
8/ Back-Turned Attacks:
Techniques executed while you're back-turned, can also include throws and
reversals.
9/ Wall Attacks:
Kinds of attacks new and unique to VF4, those include special wall strikes and
evades. All wall attacks require the character to be facing a wall.
10/ Rising Attacks:
Techniques executed from every knockdown position. All rising attacks can be
delayed; rolls can be performed either into- or out-of-screen. Different
characters' rising attacks are mostly almost identical but there are
exceptions to this rule. I'll try to list them later on, when the FAQ is more
or less complete.

After Akira failed to win the tournament, he went back to Japan and told his
grandfather about the disappointing results. With further encouragement from
his grandfather, Akira decides to continue his training in the mountains. This
time, Akira trained harder than ever, while trying to understand exactly what
'true power' really is.
However while training, Akira received an invitation for the 4th world
tournament. Akira decides to join the tournament to test out the new skills he
has learned and try to find the 'real' power within him.

While not being able to win the 3rd tournament, Jacky has no qualms about losing
as Sarah has managed to fully regain her memories due to the 3rd tournament.
Thus, after the 3rd tournament, Jacky stopped training as he has lost his
incentive to train. And since Sarah was under the protection of the Bryant's
private special forces, he decided to concentrate on racing instead and soon
enough, Jacky started his own racing team. However, all was not what it seemed.
Any potential sponsors for his team were killed by J6. One day, Jacky received
a letter, informing him that if he does not join the 4th world tournament, J6
will continue to kill all potential sponsors until there is none left. Jacky
decides to resume training and joins the tournament in order to end it once and
for all.

After the 3rd world tournament, Jeffry finally has some cash to build his boat.
However, with the boat completed, Jeffry finds out that the Satan Shark has
mysteriously disappeared. Unable to find the Satan Shark, Jeffry starts asking
the other fishermen the whereabouts of the Satan Shark. He was then told the
location of where the Satan Shark was seen last. However, even though he now
had the location of the Satan Shark's new hunting ground, he was still unable
to find it. When he hears of the 4th world tournament, he decides to join in
hope of winning the cash just so he can afford a Sonar device to hunt for the
Satan shark.
