Virtua Fighter 5 is already a perfectly oiled machine of grace and beauty, but Sega have seen fit to release a patch anyway. Considering the perfection of the gameplay, most of the patch changes involve changes and fixes to the front end system, with game mechanics being left just the way they are... as they should be.

VIRTUA FIGHTER 5 PATCH CHANGES

* Some characters will now be able to select costume-specific pants in alternate costumes, for example equipping Costume A pants in Costume B.
* Replays of online battles can now be saved.
* One additional item per character (appear as "Downloaded item" in Costume settings/Item edit dialog).
* Gamer pictures will now be shown in online battles.
* After winning the World Tournament Final, it's now more likely that rivals you have not defeated will be playing in arcades.
* When someone joins an online match, you can now see their connection quality.
* Various fixes for minor bugs, including a texture bug.
* Easier sorting of rankings.
* Rematches in Online VS. Player Matches now possible even when the players haven't added their opponent to their friend list
