-  Well I'll put it simply....I've been working on getting a Virtua Fighter 5
  walkthrough up as a means of my "coming out of retirement" kinda deal.  Well
  I'm still hard at work with it, but I figured as much that I should at least
  put out there some character walkthroughs as well.  I was planning on doing
  this in the first place once I got the full walkthrough up, but I figured
  what the hell....lets do it now.  So with that being said I'm here to give
  you all this guide on Dural.

-  As with every other guide that I've wrote, this guide is my own property!  I
  happily made this for all to enjoy and to use, and all that I ask is that if
  you are planning on using this for your site, then just ask me for permission
  ok.  I'm really easy to get along with and generally don't mind it so long as
  you ask for my permission first.  Don't go thinking "Oh he'll never say ok,
  lets just rip the guide and post it anyways" because that's a flawed way of
  thinking.  Just give it a shot sometime and you may be surprised!  My e-mail
  box is always open!

-  A big reminder to everyone out there....if you're looking for updates to this
  guide, then head on over to www.gamefaqs.com.  I write for that site and that
  site only.....or at least, that's where the guide's origins are.  Any update
  that I do will hit there.  I don't really plan on keeping up with how many
  other hundreds of sites have my guides up for their use and have to go and
  update it on their site as well, so save yourself some trouble and headache
  and check my guide out at GameFAQs ok.  I really don't want to deal with a
  million e-mails asking me about updates and info and such when I'm telling
  you now what to do.

-  Backstory  -

-  Dural was previously a human woman. Her name was Tsukikage and she was both
  Kage-Maru's mother and a Kunoichi. When the mysterious corporation J6
  noticed her exemplary fighting ability and resilient body, they captured her
  and used her as their prototype for their terrifying Dural project. Arming
  her body with various cybernetic enhancements and brainwashing, she became a
  cyborg, immune to feeling. Technically, she underwent roboticization, though
  this isn't directly stated in the games.  Since then, Kage has attempted to
  retrieve Tsukikage and restore her to her former self, finally succeeding in
  Virtua Fighter 3. However, he needed parts to keep her inhuman body
  operational, and when he retrieved them, she became even less human than
  before. Now Kage enters the 4th tournament to end his mother's suffering and
  return her to normal.  Meanwhile, the J6 corporation has their eyes on Sarah
  Bryant as the subject for their next Dural project.  During the Fourth World
  Fighting Tournament, J6 released their true model; however it was defeated.
  This drove J6 to kidnap Vanessa Lewis. Although Vanessa escaped, her combat
  data was captured and transferred into a new model: V-Dural. J6 is now ready
  to test if their new advanced V-Dural is truly ready to defeat the world's
  best fighters - let the Fifth World Fighting Tournament begin...

-  Costumes and Clothes Set  -

-  There are no costume items that can be bought for Dural.  You can't use her
  in Quest Mode to get new costumes or costume parts.  She has 4 different
  "versions" though from what I can tell.  There are two costumes that you can
  use from the start, Costumes A and C.  I'm still trying to figure out if
  there is a way or not to unlock Costumes B and D if there even is a Costumes
  B and D.  But I believe I know what Costumes B and D are from what I've seen
  of Dural in other modes of play in the game.

  Costume A = Dural's "Platinum Steel" version.  This is the one most often
              seen in all of Dural's promotional pictures and videos all over
              the net and magazines.

  Costume B = Dural's "Black Steel" version.  Now I've only seen this version
              in the game when I was practicing in the Dojo while using Dural's
              Costume A.  She appears even more shiny than her Costume A, and
              gives her a much more sleek appeal than most.

  Costume C = Dural's "Invisible" version.  Now this is what I call impressive!
              I dunno if this version is in the Arcade or not, but if this is
              a way of showing off the PS3's capablities, then damn.  You can
              see through Dural, but not exactly entirely.  The light of the
              area around you bends around her body in a way to show you where
              she is at at all times.  So technically she's not truely
              invisible, but a window you could say.  Still, impressive none
              the less, and using this version could even throw off everyone's
              game of trying to look extremely close at what you're trying to
              do.

  Costume D = Dural's "Stone" version.  This is the version of Dural you see
              during the bonus boss fight at the end of playing through the
              series of opponents during arcade mode in the PS3.  When you goto
              the Sanctuary stage, she seems to be a statue that comes to life
              for the sole purpose of wiping the floor with you.  She isn't as
              visually impressive in this version since no light really bounces
              off her.  This would be a definitive costume for her to play
              against others since it sort of at least puts her on a level
              playing field with the rest of the cast.  Her body doesn't set
              off reflections of light nor is she see-thru.  She's a solid,
              easy to tell target....but that still doesn't take away from how
              deadly she is though!




-  Personal Opinion -

-  Ok....here's basically my take on Dural:

  She's friggin Dural!!!!!  I mean damn already....they talk about her
  constantly as a weapon throughout the story and character bios, so why
  wouldn't she be extremely powerful?  Her strength factor is ridiculously
  high, her defense skills are top notch, her speed is blazingly high, I mean
  there's nothing you can find about her that's wrong!  She has the best of
  everything and to make things worse in her favor, she has the best martial
  arts set in the entire game.  Why do you ask?  Well that's because she has
  every single best move, strike, throw, or combo that's offered up by all the
  cast of characters in this game.  She can defeat opponents in just two moves
  just like Wolf since she has access to his Giant Swing, and some of the
  hardest hitting strikes that can be offered up by any of the other characters
  in the game.  She has the best combos as well used by the likes of Akira,
  El Blaze, etc.  Not only that but her versions of their combos are blazingly
  fast and if you blink, you'll miss the whole combo!  They're hard to block
  simply due to the fact that the first hit is so hard to tell where she's
  trying to aim at because she throws the first hit at an incredible speed.
  There's not even too much of a learning curve with her since all of the
  moves designated to her are put in such a simplistic manner than where they
  originally come from.  If you can't use Dural, then you simple shouldn't be
  playing this game at all.  A beginner can pick her up and own expert players
  like they're nothing at all.  It's hard enough to beat her when playing
  against her as the computer, but when human controlled....in the hands of an
  expert she is by far the most deadly thing in this game.  I highly doubt that
  she's actually tournament legal, but for fun against your friends, go for it!


(User Character Tactics)

  Ahhhh....the final chapter of this glorious guide of mine....to think I
  finally made it this far.  This part though isn't written entirely by me...
  This part is written by all of you!  That's right....no matter what I say or
  do to tell you things about characters or explaining their ins and outs,
  everyone has their own style and their own way doing things with each
  character.  In that respect I give to all of you this section.  E-mail in
  your tips, tricks, and fighting techs that you find to be useful for the
  given character in the given situation you're in.  The only way this
  section can get bigger, is by all of you, so flood my e-mail box ok!  I know
  it's at the top, but for convienence my e-mail is:

  [email protected]

  I will give full credit to you that send in your tips and tricks, so be a pal
  and help out those around you by contributing to this guide!

(Credits)

-  First and foremost I give credit to Sega for coming out with one kick ass
  fighter.  I've never been so jaw dropped before by a fighting game with all
  that it shows off.  I'm still going strong with it, so I think I'm now
  turning into a Virtua Fighter fan!  Way to go Sega, by making an addictive
  game like this!

-  Secondly I'd like to give creds to all of those out there that asked for me
  to come back and make more walkthroughs.  You have no clue how much I missed
  doing these, and just because I'm in the Marines, doesn't mean I have to
  retire from walkthrough writing!  Thank you for all the support and e-mails
  that all of you have sent telling me how good my past walkthroughs were and
  that you all wanted to see more.  Without the support, I think the drive and
  the love for walkthrough writing would of left me a long time ago.

-  If there's anything that you wish to add or correct in my walkthrough, then
  by all means, shoot me an e-mail at [email protected].  I'll take
  your comments and concerns seriously and get back to you as fast as I can.
  You will be given the proper credit as well for contributing to my guide.

  Thanks again, and I'll sees yas all later!
