They got sweat effects now on certain hits, as well different shades of color depending on the counter hit, which it’s always had. I never understood, why people thought the moves look dull, especially in 5. Akira hits like a mack truck, Goh’s throws make you go “DAMN!” and El Blaze is a highligt reel(Canadian Destroyer ftw), Jacky Bryant is still the best animated character out there(wish they would bring One Inch Punch back), Shun-Di and Lei-Fei make it look like your watching a kung-fu flick, Brad makes AE Yun look tame in comparison, I could go on for days. The only boring character I can think of is Lau, but even his shit looks nice in R & FS.
I’ve always been a fan of the not-so-out-there character designs, but with more cusomization than any game out there, if you can make a pimp looking character, your doing it wrong.
VF just has a history of being inaccessible. Not the learning curve-- the dollar-per-credit arcade, the nobody-has-one Saturn/DC ports, Sega’s staunch resistance to VF5’s presence out West. That isn’t an excuse for FG enthusiasts to skip on the series, but it easily explains why it’s the WALL-E of fighting games.
Ooh, good points. I wanted to add that, back when VF should have been taking everybody’s coins, its official stand-up cabs featured a control panel sporting different layouts for players 1 and 2. Ughh!
That’s right they did add some cool effects to the newer one right? They need to do some crazy things with the body physics to make it even more realistic imo. Cause that was really the main draw for me with Virtua fighter. It felt like a more realistc game, especially with the grappling system. I guess I just want them to add more to it to make even more complicated.
Also, Vanessa is the shit and El Blaze is on that cooked cocaine.
Virtua Fighter looks cool when it’s played by people who have some idea of what they’re doing.
As most people know, The Dark Knight (Frank Miller comic, not movie) is being adapted by the DCAU guys for their direct-to-DVD line. What some people might not know is that it’s going to be a two-part release.
It’s lame that people will have to pay twice for one story, but it’s awesome that the producers are finally getting around the 70 minute problem.
Bleh, I like it and I dont.
Good that they’re going to make it as long as it needs to be to tell the full story. Bad that they probably wont be released around the same time.
So once again I have somehow gotten cornealitis. I believe it’s from my contacts. I hate this shit but I guess it’s what I’ve got sick leave saved up for.
This has been THE INVINCIBLE SWORDSMAN saying:
Of all the fighting games I’ve ever played, VF is the one that I have the most respect for. It is the most uncompromising fighting game I’ve ever played. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve played SF or Tekken and lost to bullshit or won vs a better player because of bullshit. An overpowered move or a runaway Storm. X-factor. A comeback mechanic. Gems.
Very little of that is in VF. If someone is better than me, I never win. All I did was learn and get my ass kicked for the first few months of playing VF4O. And that was me trying to learn only one character.
I get this on occasion. I understand the sentiment and realize they mean well, but I still have a standard response that I always use:
"Omg you’re like the whitest black guy!" Right. So, if you saw me walking out of your house carrying your TV and I got into my car and sped off, how would you describe me to the police? blank stare "I’d, um…" Exactly. HAHA HE GOT YOU THERE BECKY!!!
"Yeah but you know what I mean, tee hee." So you only see me as black when I’m stealing your TV huh?
As for fireballs in that game, it seems easy. Just increase the start-up time and make them unblockable like Devil’s lasers. Seems simple enough, especially since not ever Street Fighter even has a projectile. I’m more curious about the hell Dhalsim will work without being either completely overpowered or completely useless.

Seems broken enough, not simple. Eating unblockable projectile spam in a Tekken game doesn’t sound appetizing… sidestepping or not.
Both. I don’t want to sift through under-par players online or search high and low for decent random competition locally.
It’s not mere hope. I’ve looked at every featured nuance and engine mechanic the game has, even if it does not meet certain expectations the effort going into this game will make it far more playable that the garbage Crapcom and Ono Mengele* have produced for the last 3 years. Mike Z has a deep understanding of fighting games which he has demonstrated for over a decade. So this isn’t blind faith.
*Yes I sneaked a Nazi reference in there, my hatred is that strong!
