Virtua Fighter (バーチャファイター, Virtua Fighter) is Sega's long-running series of fighting games, notable for inventing the 3D fighting game.

In Super Smash Bros. Brawl

Though Virtua Fighter is never directly referred to within this game, Sonic's jab is based off the ubiquitous Sega punch-punch-kick jab combo from the series.[1]

In Super Smash Bros. 4

Virtua Fighter is represented in this game by downloadable content costumes for Mii Brawlers based on Akira Yuki, the main protagonist of the series, as he appears in the first Virtua Fighter game, and Jacky Bryant as he appears in the fifth game.

In Super Smash Bros. Ultimate

Mii Costumes

The Akira and Jacky costumes from Smash 4 return as downloadable content. They were released alongside Terry.

  • True to the original game traditions (except certain spin-offs or/and crossovers), the Virtua Fighter, Tekken and ARMS casts are restrictively spoken in their native languages in all international versions of their Smash appearances.
