Today, SEGA announced and launched a new auto update via Xbox Live for Virtua Fighter 5 that's aimed at bringing a few minor changes to enhance your VF5 experience. Changes including the ability to save online replay videos after a fight, a re-worked costume system, the ability to see your opponent's internet connection, the ability to see your opponent's gamer picture as well as other random fixes. After the break, we've posted a complete list of changes the VF5 update will bring, so be sure to check that out. And as with all game updates, to get it all you have to do is load up VF5 while connected to Xbox Live and she should instantly download. Now be sure to remember your manners and thank SEGA for their continued VF5 support.

Virtua Fighter Update Changes:

Some characters will now be able to select costume-specific pants in alternate costumes, for example equipping Costume A pants in Costume B.
Replays of online battles can now be saved.
One additional item per character (appear as "Downloaded item" in Costume settings/Item edit dialog).
Gamer pictures will now be shown in online battles.
After winning the World Tournament Final, it's now more likely that rivals you have not defeated will be playing in arcades.
When someone joins an online match, you can now see their connection quality.
Various fixes for minor bugs, including a texture bug.
Easier sorting of rankings.
Rematches in Online VS. Player Matches now possible even when the players haven't added their opponent to their friend list.

Nice looking update. I'll have to bust this one back out and give my Hori Joystick a workout. Of course I'm prepared to be completely pwned, as I am a button masher. Watch out for my low kicks.

if they fix the way you have to invite, re-invite your friends, re-select your character/costume/arena for PRIVATE matches, then I will consider re-buying the game.
