Yeesh. I really hope TN doesn’t listen to this guy. I mean, he basically wants to be make it so that holds are a viable (if not the most viable) form of damage. The stuff he complains about (less moves that put you in critical stun, i.e. can be counter held out of and tighter windows for the moves you can hold out of) is all the stuff everyone else has been asking so the game can actually be played at tournaments.
Being the Alpha demo, it was going to be heavily based off of DOA4/DOAD. Even the hardcore players realized it was basically playing like DOA4. The game has changed since then as you were playing a build that was practically made in early February and the most recent viewable state of the game was in June after numerous feedback from not only gamers who played the Alpha build as you did but also the hardcore competitive players.
Tom Brady was saying something about Master a while ago. He said that Master only wants the game to play the way he wants it to play and thats why DOA4 is the way it is(or something along those lines. I cant quite recall exactly what he said, but he did say some negative things about Master) I’m going to remain hopeful that Team Ninja knows whats right, but I hope that they don’t listen TOO MUCH to the fans. They are the ones making the game after all.
I hope they didn’t get rid of Ein in this one. He was even in Dimensions. That would be a hell of a note…the one doa game available to me after all this time gets rid of my favorite character. And it would be just my luck.
Really?? Dude, I was there before. I tried EVERY VF game, and to me they all sucked MAJOR ass. You know what they problem was? I had nobody to play with but the computer. I was too busy trying to win to actually LEARN anything. VF 5 Final Showdown changed that. If you THINK you hate VF and haven’t tried Final Showdown, you don’t really know. Seriously. 20 years of hating a series yet trying each new sequel and hating them, too, and all it took for me to discover it didn’t suck was having people to actually play against. Now, if you HAVE vf5 FS, and you hate that…well, yeah, then it sucks for you. If you haven’t tried 5fs, you don’t really know. You just think it sucks. Now, I STILL don’t know why people have such a hard-on for Fighters Megamix. Shitty graphics, animation, sound…total crap.
I just dont like the way it feels or plays. It’s just boring to me I guess. I like games like DOA and MK9 and Tekken because they are flashy and fun and their combat mechanics just work so well. VF was always too complicated for me and it isn’t that fun to watch.
