Credits ====================================================================== 1. Introduction Well for those of you VF veterans, this is a VF unlike any VF made. No more button mashing fighters, Virtua Fighter 4 actually takes some skill to pull off these tasks. No more floating jumps, but just awesome all out gameplay. You have to have precise timing and the right button combination to pull off a devastating move, and these moves are quite fancy. Having played this game and in the practice modes, there seems to be an endless number of moves you can do, i can safely say that there is at least 10,000 moves or more in VF4. If you find yourself having trouble simply try your moves on the practice mode, commands section. You'll get the hang of it after a while. So without further ado, here is the character FAQ of Sarah Bryant. ============================================================ 2. Background of Sarah Bryant -o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o- Sarah Bryant Country of Origin: USA Sex: Female Blood Type: AB Job: College Student Hobby: Sky Diving Height: 5'8" Weight: 121 lbs. Bust/Waist/Hips: 35/22/35 Fighting Style: Jeet Kune Do Past VF Games: VF, VF2, VF3 Relations in VF4: Jacky Bryant (brother), Vanessa Lewis (???) Stage in VF4: What seems to be a resemblence of Rome, fighters fight on a slab of stone surrounded by stone gaurd railings, that can be broken when a character is slammed into it, lightning strikes statues and stractures as you fight After regaining her memory and returning home to a normal life, Sarah still had lingering doubts. Although her brainwashing had been incomplete, her desire to defeat Jacky had been overwhelming. Was there some part of her, then, that also wanted to fight her brother? Before long she received a call from her brother informing her that he planned to enter the Fourth Tournament. Hoping to regain her former life back completely, Sarah entered the tournament as well, determined to defeat her brother and put the past behind her. Her brother, Jacky, had no means in entering the Tournament in the first place, He wanted to continue his life as a Indy Race Car Driver. After a series of attacks on his crew, he was forced to enter the Fourth World Tournament, so that these attacks will stop, thus calling his sister stating he was going to join. A new face has appeared in the 4th World Fighting Tournament, that of Vanessa Lewis. Vanessa got word that J6 (Judgment 6) was going after a woman named Sarah Bryant and entered the Tournament to protect her from harm. Vanessa was previously raised in J6 and knows what they are capable of doing harm. J6's intentions were that to, take Sarah Bryant and transform her into a new, complete, form of Dural... Sarah is a student of Jeet Kune Do, she fights with quickness but not a lot of power and relies on swift movement in taking down her opponent with punishing kicks, her most devastating stance is the flamingo, capable of pulling off numerous of attack and throws. Sarah Bryant is suitable for begineers in VF4. ============================================================ 3.

Fighting With and Against Sarah Bryant With: As stated earlier, Sarah is known for her lightning fast kicks and ability to pull off alot of combos with that talent. She is good against slow fights that may use throws alot or are left in the open, key thing - don't hesitate while playing as Sarah. Try to be a good fighter (or cheap in this case) by never leaving the opponent open for an attack, in other words, stay of their ass. If you want to pull off a move such as the Gatling Kick Beat, i suggest you stagger the foe for to give you enough time to set up the attack. Against: Guard her combos when you can, after she is done with her sequence attack with your own combos or attacks. Mid and low range reversals work well to stop her. Also, alot of power would help out as well, throws are a must while facing this brutal fighter. If you fight against another human opponent, it may take them time to setup devastating attacks, and thats when you can attack, not leave her open. I found myself getting frustrated because i wanted to use the Gatling Kick Beat, but i left myself open too long to input the command. -Fighters to watch out for as Sarah- Aoi Umenokouji: vast areas in reversals and grab n' snap moves Jeffery McWild: blocks sometimes and then deals alot of damage Shun Di: small and may miss some high kicks Jacky Bryant: swift kicks and punishing blows Akira Yuki: CHEAP! blocks most of the time while pulling off combos, once you are done he deals some damage and keeps on hitting you while falling ====================================================================== 5.
