| Name | Type | Description | Source |
|---|---|---|---|
| Three-Button System (P, K, G) | Core Combat System | The foundation of the entire game. Every attack in Virtua Fighter comes from three buttons: Punch, Kick and Guard. | Universal mechanic for the whole roster |
| Eight-Way Movement and Evade | Movement System | Fighters walk, dash, crouch and sidestep in eight directions, and the sidestep is the game's most important defensive tool. | Universal mechanic |
| Throws and Throw Escapes | Grappling System | Throws cannot be blocked, so they exist as the answer to an opponent who simply holds guard. | Universal mechanic |
| Sabaki Parries | Defensive System | Certain characters can absorb a specific category of attack with a timing-specific parry called a sabaki. | Character-specific, available only to fighters whose styles include it |
| Wall Stagger | Stage Interaction System | Arena walls are active participants. Hitting an opponent into a wall leaves them staggered and briefly defenseless, and the wall itself can be used deliberately as a combo extender. | Universal mechanic, relevant to every stage |
| Ring Outs | Stage Interaction System | Stages have edges, and knocking an opponent over the boundary ends the round immediately no matter how much health they have left. | Universal mechanic |
| Down Attacks and Ground Game | Offence System | Knocking an opponent to the floor does not end the exchange. | Universal mechanic |
| Launchers and Air Combos | Offence System | Heavy launchers lift an opponent off the ground, and the hits that connect before they land are the most execution-heavy part of the game. | Universal mechanic |
| Rollback Netcode | Online System | The R.E.V.O. version's headline technical feature is rollback netcode, which predicts and corrects inputs so online matches behave closer to a local one. | Online play in Virtua Fighter 5 R.E.V.O. |
| Outfit and Item Customisation | Progression System | Every fighter carries a wardrobe of unlockable and purchasable items that change hair, glasses, clothing, accessories and character-specific props. | Universal, unlocked through play and store purchases |
