Are you soon to be entering the world of Virtua Fighter? Are you coming into this game with Tekken knowledge? Well, this is the video for you!
This video will go over aspects of Virtua Fighter 5 R.E.V.O that are also found in Tekken. It will detail what Virtua Fighter does differently, so hopefully you are more prepared for the differences and are less likely to get confused and drop the game.
I will be briefly explaining each point, but since it's such a deep game, I will be linking more in-depth guides down here, for further exploration.
** USEFUL GENERAL LINKS **
https://virtuafighter.com
This contains a lot of the information I will be mentioning, and goes into great depth. The Command List page has Frame Data, the Wiki has individual character pages with long write-ups by experienced players, and the Forum has an answer for pretty much any question you could ask.
New players should check out the 'New Starter' or 'Dojo' sections on the Forum.

A guide for common movement techniques. Somewhat outdated in a few aspects (such as OM beating throws) since it was made for VF5 Vanilla. However, a lot of the tech here is still applicable to R.E.V.O
