SEGA’s Virtua Fighter Twitter account released the VF5 R.E.V.O. Producer Letter from Seiji Aoki, Legacy Virtua Fighter Project’s Producer, last Friday. Aoki brought up the fact that the team is listening to requests, feedback, and bug reports. Replays will return, hopefully.
Aoki reassured fans that the Virtua Fighter Open Championship is still happening as well. Aoki is making good on the December announcement post the 2024 Game Awards.

Virtua Fighter 5 R.E.V.O. and Virtua Fighter 5 Ultimate Showdown fixed rollback and matchmaking issues, such as being matched up with the same players repeatedly, and much more, with the February 28 update. Here’s more information from the official site:
Adjustments to rollback-related features and menus.
・Removed “OFF” as an option from Options > Game Settings > Rollback (Beta)
・Changed the values in Options > Game Settings > Frame delay (Beta) from “0-10” to “1-6”.
・When there is a difference between the player and opponent’s frame delay settings during an online match, delay values for both will be adjusted to match the lower of the two.
・Updated the guidance text that appears on the Game Settings menu for rollback-related options.
・Effects and sound effects will not appear or play if they are inconsistent with rollback results.Matchmaking adjustments
