Virtua Fighter 5 secret character... created by IGN?!
Yeah, it's true... IGN got to create a character in Virtua Fighter 5. Sadly, there's probably no way for you to play as the character they created, but you can test your might against him in Quest mode (but a future online update to make him an unlockable would be fairly keen). How'd they score a sweet deal with SEGA? Apparently, "SEGA allowed us the option to make one of the brawlers our own, creating their name, taunt and customized appearances (with two separate costumes)." Nice job, IGN. SEGA, can PS3Fanboy design the next Phantasy Star main characters? We'd love to.
IGN chose to name their character Ryuutoushi ("Dragon Champion"), which is appropriate because the character uses the Dragon Champion's art of fighting... by Dragon Champion, we are of course referring to the legendary Bruce Lee. Jeet Kune Do, an almost artistic fighting style utilizing defense as offense (kinda sorta), is the fighting style Ryuutoushi will use against you (and the very concept of defense as offense in a fighting game will make it very difficult). IGN also uses many of Bruce Lee's philosophies on fighting as intros and taunts. Good stuff. We'll fight him.
