The Virtua Fighter 4 Tutorial (Literally)
I go through the VF4 tutorial so you don't have to. I was considering making a comprehensive Virtua Fighter guide by doing a lot of research and asking people in my local scene for tips but it turns out the VF4 EVO Tutorial already exists. It does such a great job--I decided it wasn't necessary to reinvent the wheel. Sometimes the past can teach you a lot about the present ^_^.
Also this goes without saying, but Virtuafighter.com is also the quintessential website to go to for VF studying/discussion. Check it out as well.
