Kareteka has been named!

Yes the tentative name "Kareteka" is no longer needed. The character is confirmed to be MALE (Sorry to the people who wanted a new fem to the roster) and his name is Jean Kujo.

Heres a video of him in action.

「VF5」が培った三次元的ゲーム性を進化！
「VF5R」では、オフェンシブムーブの性質変化のほか、新要素である「側面ガード」を追加することにより、これまでにない攻防が誕生。
従来の正面同士の攻防においては、多数の技追加やリニューアルを行なったほか、技コマンドの変更を含め、共通システムにも見直しを図った。これにより、操作性はさらに向上し、駆け引きはさらに奥深くなった。
「VF5R」は、これらの大きな改良、変更点を引っさげて、「VF5」が目指した【真･3D格闘】を超えた、新たな世界を提示する！

Virtua Fighter 5 R

Today is a great day to be a VF fan. With this new announcement from AOU announcing Virtua Fighter 5 R. With a new character who supposedly uses karate.

And thats not all! Oh no they said that a character that looks eerily similar to Taka-arashi was seen in the demo videos. New stages and everything are also shown.
