Voiced by (Japanese): Yasunori Matsumoto (anime), Kunihiro Kawamoto (CR Virtua Fighter)

Jacky Bryant (ジャッキー・ブライアント, Jakkī Buraianto) is a race car driver that debuted in the original Virtua Fighter. He fights using Bruce Lee's incredibly versatile Jeet Kune Do style, allowing him a few of Bruce Lee's actual techniques that he chose to perfect during his lifetime. The most important aspect of Jacky's game are his combos, which can be utilized to repeatedly strike and inflict massive damage. He also seems to have a brash and confident attitude. The eldest son of the Bryant family, Jacky is Sarah's older brother. He maintains his cool in every situation. Jacky was seriously injured in an accident in the 1990 Indianapolis 500, and spent two years in a grueling rehabilitation program. Just when his injury had healed, he discovered the existence of the mystery group behind the accident. At the same time, his younger sister Sarah disappeared. Jacky's battle began as he pursued the trail of the group who held the key to these mysteries.

Jacky is a playable racer (with Akira as his partner on the console versions) in Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing. He appears in Dead or Alive 5 Ultimate, making him the fourth addition to the game from the Virtua Fighter series alongside Akira Yuki, Sarah Bryant, and Pai Chan. A Mii Fighter costume based on Jacky's Virtua Fighter 5 appearance appears in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate as downloadable content alongside an Akira Mii Fighter costume.

Wolf Hawkfield

Wolf Hawkfield (ウルフ・ホークフィールド, Urufu Hōkufīrudo) is a professional wrestler from Canada that debuted in the original Virtua Fighter. He lived as a First Nations woodsman and hunter in the Canadian wilderness until he was discovered on a scouting trip by a professional wrestling promoter.

A quiet man who loves nature, he has his gentle side. He is filled with fighting spirit, however, and once provoked he is not satisfied until he finishes the job at hand. Being the strongest, he was an instant star in the pro wrestling area, and successfully defended his title several times. Dissatisfied with the level of competition, however, he turned in his belt and retired from the ring. Hearing of the World tournament, he entered to seek worthy opponents. After the end of the second tournament, Wolf had a recurring nightmare about the world being in danger. This dream was the sole reason for him joining the third tournament (Virtua Fighter 3). However, since he was defeated in the third tournament, he decided to ignore the dream and went back home. Back there, Wolf entered in countless underground tournaments and dominated. However, the same dream still haunts him.

Wolf appeared in All Japan Pro Wrestling Featuring Virtua (arcade and Sega Saturn 1997) and All Japan Pro Wrestling 2 Giant Gram (arcade and Sega Dreamcast 1999). Professional wrestler Jim Steele wrestled as "Wolf Hawkfield" in All Japan Pro Wrestling from 1997 to 2000.

IGN listed Wolf as the 4th best fake wrestler in video games, while GamesRadar ranked him as the 2nd best video game wrestler, stating "Beyond his skills and masterfully tailored ring attire, Wolf is one of gaming's most important wrestlers because of his comical self seriousness."

Jeffry McWild

Voiced by (English): Ryan Drees (VF4–present)
Voiced by (Japanese): Ryūzaburō Ōtomo (anime), Keikou Sakai (CR Virtua Fighter)

Jeffry McWild (ジェフリー・マクワイルド, Jefurī Makuwairudo) is an Australian Aboriginal fisherman and Pankration practitioner that debuted in the original Virtua Fighter. The most skillful fisherman of his village, he has an engaging personality. He was bested by only one opponent - the giant, eight-meter long, man-eating "Satan Shark". They fought several battles, and finally met in their ultimate match. Jeffry was routed and his boat wrecked, but he somehow managed to recover as he hovered on the verge of death. He entered the World Fighting Tournament with a vow to build a new boat and do battle with the "Satan Shark" again. After the third world tournament, Jeffry finally has some cash to build his boat.

However, with the boat completed, Jeffry finds out that the "Satan Shark" has mysteriously disappeared. Unable to find the "Satan Shark", Jeffry starts asking the other fishermen the whereabouts of the "Satan Shark". He was then told the location of where the "Satan Shark" was seen last. However, even though he now had the location of the "Satan Shark"'s new hunting ground, he was still unable to find the "Satan Shark". When he hears of the fourth world tournament, he decides to join in hope of winning the cash just so he can afford a sonar device to hunt for the "Satan Shark".

Dural

Dural (デュラル, Dyuraru) is a Gynoid-like creature that debuted in the original Virtua Fighter as the game's boss character. She fights with a mix of all the other characters' styles. Dural was previously a human woman. According to canon, the first model was Kage-Maru's kidnapped mother. Her name was Tsukikage (月影) and she was a kunoichi and Kage-Maru's mother. When the mysterious corporation J6 (Judgement 6) 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.

Dural is a secret character in the series. Her name is a direct reference to the joypad manipulation needed to enable her as a playable character (Down, Up, Right, then A button plus Left together; D, U, R, A+L). Dural also appears as a rival unit in Project X Zone and Project X Zone 2.

Syfy listed her as one of the most "disturbing" video game characters, where they stated "Dural is a cyborg and she can copy the moves of other characters. So when you fight her, you're not just getting your ass kicked. Your getting your ass kicked by techniques that YOU thought you had mastery over."
