Confusingly, SEGA has informed us all that 'Subtle Changes Improves the Perfect Fighting Game'... yes, apparently you can improve on perfection. Fight that one out on the Forum.

Anyway, what it's actually done is released a downloadable patch for Virtua Fighter 5 on Xbox 360. We are informed that:

"The patch will include a number of gameplay additions and enhancements including:

* 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.

So, huzza then for Xbox 360-owning Virtua Fighters... yes, we know you are going to want to know if there's anything special happening for PS3... we're onto that right now.
