VF5 is too damn technical. One of the hardest fighters in general.
So the website I ordered my Hori from turned out to be an alt from a known scammer. Looks like I’m out $120 and still no stick D=. Guess I’m going to have to get scrap together some parts and maybe rebuild my beatdown HRAP. Anyone have any spare Sanwa buttons/sticks?
Much to my surprise, it only has 3 buttons…
Which is a funny discovery given that I sort of know how to play the game.
Can’t you file a paypal dispute and get your money back?
Corrected :bgrin:
Oh and lol at a Chun/Dark Phoenix masher winning this week’s Xanadu Ranbat
Yeah. Just pissed that I’m going to have to wait it out until everything gets resolved.
On a slightly related note, that green $70 TE in the TO is hot, I’d totally snatch that up.
Also, if you guys want to learn hard games you should play Accent Core. If my friend comes out he can teach you every character, lol.
I have a spare jlf. Just tell me.
Also guilty gear is hella fun. Always hype. Eddie and his original Ammy gimmicks.
Sad day, my component cables for PS3 gave out on me. Haibing came over on Monday to play and my cables were going bad. We could either get video and no sound or sound and 2 colors. Then today I tried playing and I can no longer see anything or hear anything.
I guess $5 cables from unknown 3rd party seller on amazon isn’t that reliable. But then again, I also got some cheap cables for my Wii on amazon and they still work.
@Chrisis Viper Expert Advisor; I’ve been noticing that my Viper combos start off with thunder knuckle into EX Th Knuckle into rest of Death Combo. Meaning that I can’t connect a BC combo at the beginning since her normals are too hard to connect for me. That also means that my assist won’t connect after Th Knuck to do another ground string and I just get 2 Th Knuck in a Death Combo. And since I can’t seem to connect my normals frequently enough then I don’t have enough hits to hitconfirm into the combo.
Air Dash C gets pretty predictable so I usually can’t start a combo from that. I try mixing it up with her normals with like empty air dash 5A or 2B and sometimes get a hit. I haven’t practiced that many setups, but what other options do I have?
The one other setup that I have is when I see someone crouching I would go for Th Knuck or EX Th Knuck and cancel into EX Burn Kick then combo from there.
The pokes that I like to use with Viper for going into combos at the moment:
Air dash down forward S
Air dash down A, stand A
2B xx 623A
Summon assist air dash down forward cross up
Focus attack
Raw medium seismo
ADDF pressure into unblockable set up
Air throw* (Very good combo opener)
Counterpoke 2B
I found out another one of the reasons her normals are so trashy she’s not supposed to use them raw, focus xx dash xx move is often a better way to poke since it moves you forward and goes through things. I honestly think being ready to follow up close or medium range seismos is incredibly important and that a lot of my non death combos come after that and air throw, her pokes are actually good, just not without execution, where others can just press 5Con the ground (A certain robot who doesn’t know what he’s fighting for) she should be going for things closer to focus xx dash xx 2B, C xx A-seismo xx TK forward C burnkick (Both a combo and a mix up pressure string.)
So what about that AE dlc trailer? looks like it really shut up all the players QQing about nerfing their super main and such…
I hope it is free cause they said it is an “upgrade” but then the thought of (oni,E.ryu, yun, and yang) being liek jill and shuma on MVC3 hit me…I don’t know what you guys think?
I buy fighting game DLC even if I don’t play it :awesome.gif:
(but then playing other games at this point involves removing the Megaman Legends 2 disc from my PS3… that won’t happen soon, which is bad timing considering that I’ve recently purchased Virtua Fighter 5 and Tekken 6)
I’ll have to actually get to work to try and make something for this, either way I’m sure some GDLK stuff will come out of it!
Good luck on the contest, I’ll be sure to vote for you!
@Worf; I heard you were free today for some more MvC3, so Chrisis and me will be showing up around 4:30.
Also, get hype for 3D Rebecca

The most moe of all Resident Evil characters; I approve.
I just realized that Kaiji S2 started up. Get hype for epic man-crying.
I have a new tier whore team: Magneto/Ammy/Wesker. The great thing is I actually don’t have to practice these characters, they do the work for me.
I have a new Viper gameplan that I really want to show you guys. My style have recently switched from RTSD to lame, I want to bridge that gap with a more counter-offensive/reactive approach. IMO, Viper is great for that. Psychic seismos are like psychic DPs, but completely safe, lol.
EDIT: Oni has an airdash? ANIMEEEEE. Yes I’m gonna play AE now.
Dude has a fucking air demon.
air ultras also!!!
Which reminds me: tell us when to vote.
THAT SAID, 23 hours into Megaman Legends 2 and the game is still godlike: why can’t other games hold my attention for this long?
I really like the huge sniper weapon, but it has like no ammo even though I’ve fully upgraded its energy.
But, yes… dungeon diving is a lot of fun because I feel like I’m actually being rewarded for running around in a ruin like a schmuck for 1-2 hours.
That said, given how long you spend in some dungeons, you absolutely do not want to be killed before reaching a save point.
EDIT:
ALSO, if I show up later, let’s play VF5!
I’m too lazy to practice at home.
Woah, what the fuck: command training for Akira is difficult as fuck…
Not that I can’t pull the shit off, but it’s more of the fact that I don’t think I’d remember half of what I’ve been doing in a real match.
Hey guys I wanted to know if you could give me some info on the dojo, when and where you meet and everything.
