Siba.........

I' heard that he was an original Virtua Fighter character that didnt make it into the first game. I also heard he was in Fighters Megamix. I want to kno what he looks like and Ive searched the web but no luck. Does anybody have any pics or can direct me to a site that has some? Thanx in advance.

 

Siba vs Somone else

I never played fighters mega mix really, so i dunno about him being in VF. seeing as how he has a sword i would think not, but hey i could be wrong. Try google search, it works wonders

 

thanx

 

I remember reading that Siba was supposed to be a character in VF1 but got axed in the end.

Man, I miss FM. Hopefully another one will appear on the next gen consoles.

 

He was originally taking Akira's spot in the line up, but then got axed later. If you play on some american sit down type cabinets you can still see his face on the character selection panel.

Edit: Actually he's in the stand up ones as well... here's a pic:

Cool. VF could use some more characters.

 

He was just a typical looking arab, in Fighters Megamix he had a sword don't know if he originally did in Virtua Fighter though?

 

I cant even imagine VF without Akira now, but it's true, Siba was replaced by Akira.
Here he is in Fighter's Megamix. He's at 5:12.

Check out Lion at the end of the vid. This was back when he had brown hair and was actually a fun-loving, semi-cool teenager.

Got sidetracked with a fighting vipers 2 youtube demo fricking sweet. I also saw some pepsi man footage from the original fighting vipers. Oh Siba yeah I played him in the fighters megamix the use of his sword is really slow but powerfull. Was there ever a move list created for all the crazy extra characters in Fighters Megamix?

 

I can remember a crazy straight sword jab siba had, crazy cause it took a lot of damage. I think it was just /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/f.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/f.gif+/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif

Siba didn't have many moves....

 

Found a pic, this is from Fighters Megamix but the model and textures they used for him are practically the same as they were when he was in Virtua Fighter.

Yeah, mostly all he had were really basic moves and a few sword attacks and that's it. He didn't even have a PP or PK string.

 

Man, I remember seeing that character at my local arcade and I was wondering on why he had Akira's name. It would be suitable for him to be a part of the Last Bronx.[/size]

 

OMG .... one of my first topics. Horrible grammar ...
