This is why I go on about Virtua Fighter games should have a story mode!
Fact is many of Japanese VF fans are okay with VF has no story.
IRL Tournament was still active there and the winner of VF in the game is based on the tournament in real life.
For example, in VF 2 Akira was mostly used tournament winners so in the game he became the winner of VF2.
Also about who wins which...
Virtua Fighter 1According to VF2 Manual Book,
Lau is the winner.
He fought Akira in the Final.
Virtua Fighter 2 According to VF3 Manual Book,
Akira is the winner.
He fought Wolf in the Final.
Virtua Fighter 3 According to VF4 Manual Book,
Kage is the winner.
He fought Akira in the final.
But somehow Jeffrey's the one who got the money prize.
Kage wasn't interested in the prize, he just wanted to save her mother.
Virtua Fighter 4 According to VF5 Manual Book, no clear winner.
The final fight between
Kage and
Shun Di is interrupted by Dural.
Dural usually wait until the tournament's over to fight the winner but she's kinda impatient and wanted to take them both.
Kage's the one who beat Dural in the end so probably we can say he's the winner.
Akira doesn't even make it to the Final, Kage beat him in the semifinal.
This deeply affected Akira too much which leads him to *spoiler*.
Virtua Fighter 5 We'll have to wait for VF6 Manual Book to know who the winner is.
Right now Kage's the strongest there is but that's also because Lau is already sick, not at his fullest power like he was in VF1.
