Knowing when to and how to defend is crucial in Virtua Fighter 5. The animation work behind some of Goh’s moves however are betraying: most often, Virtua Fighter 5 gives no real visual clue at how you should defend properly after a move of yours has been blocked by your opponent.
Down below you’ll find a graphic providing you with a digest of your possible options when defending with Goh Hinogami. Have fun!
