First video of Virtua Fighter 5's online play for Xbox 360

It may not be the 10th Dan insanity of Super Battle Opera, but this video from the good folks at Gamersyde shows off the single most important addition to the Virtua Fighter series: online play. Coming straight from Leipzig, we're willing to bet that Sega had a pretty beefy connection in order to pull this off so well. Aside from a few fits of slowdown (as seen in fellow online fighter, Dead or Alive 4), we definitely like what we're seeing.

Your chance to put Sega's network code to the test comes October 30th when Virtua Fighter 5 is released on the Xbox 360.
