The NEW VIRTUA FIGHTER 5 Thread *360 version out on 30th!*

A is guard, B is punch, and X is kick or my rig.

^Nice. I know there’s a 5th kyu Eileen named HeartNana, if you recognize him from this site.

I thought I would be the only person to notice that.

I’m such a nerd that I took a picture of it on my cellphone. I was going to post it, but now…I guess not.

Finally got my copy, this game is hella fun.

Though I’m noticing it’s fucking hard. Thank God for this awesome training mode.

shh, they might say you’re making excuses! >_>;;

This is all copied and pasted from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtua_Fighter_5#Gameplay … I know those nutty Wikipedians tend to have a very poor understanding of fighting games, but this stuff is pretty straight-forward.

*Different items are available in the XBOX 360 port of the game in Quest mode, as it is based upon Version C, however there are several copies with glitches and bugs including:

  • Vanessa as a character being corrupted, causing the game to crash. Known as “The Vanessa Bug”
  • Characters falling through walls or scenery, resulting in a ring out in an impossible situation, again with the game freezing and crashing, stating that the disc is unreadable
  • Sarah’s Flamingo stance reverts to standard moves without cancellation (online bug)
  • Slowdown and framerate bugs including Eileen’s monkey t-shirt alternative attire appearing as original, whereas the character had been edited beforehand.

A patch is due out to sort through these mistakes, however Sega have stated that you are able to return the game to the place you bought it for a new copy.*

So, does anyone know what the story/status is on the patching or replacementedness?

Oh wow. Havn’t heard of any of those but they sound too specific/possible to be some random hoax.

Nope, no word on it though :confused:

yeah i read that ages ago aswell but I’ve never experienced anything like it, nor spoken to anyone who has.

I reckon that someone at sony doesn’t want you to buy the 360 version, lol. :slight_smile: maybe not but if a bug is given the name ‘the vanessa bug’ their must be enough people who’ve had it happen to them to refer to it like that. Also the biggest VF resource, vfdc doesn’t seem to have any info on that what so ever. And I’d imagine those are the guys who’d be playing the game to death.

“there are several copies with glitches and bugs”. That just sounds like bullshit to me. Oh yeah and where is this sega statement? it would have been big news

Anyone :sweat:?

Is it even available anywhere?

I haven’t experienced any of those bugs. At all.

I think only 1-4:EVO are available. Havn’t seen or heard of 5.

galbadia hotel??

I’m finally able to play VF5 after getting my 360 repaired. The controller is terrible, so now I need a stick. Do all you guys use this stick?

It’s okay if you’re on a budget, but the folks at VFDC figured out how to mod a VSHG to work on an Xbox 360. You’ll need to hunt down a Gamestop rebranded Mad Catz MicroCon controller though.

I don’t have any problem with the pad, even the analog stick is very responsive. Can’t play anything on a stick most of the time. Long live the pad.

Yeah it is. The download location is actually on a walk through faq on vf5 ps3 version on gamefaqs

Cool

I have another stupid question before I grab a copy.
(for USA/Canada residents only)

Does anyone know why there are two different covers going around? Same art, different title printing.

One says:
“Virtua
Fighter 5”

The other says:
“Virtua
Fighter 5
ONLINE”

Is one the bugged and one the fixed version? Is one actually the PAL or Japanese region case?

I swear I’ve found pictures of real boxes, I swear I’m not crazy, I just can’t seem to find any to show you right now… :looney:

According to Gamefaqs:

I wouldn’t say “based” on real players. When VF5 first came out, Sega asked for people to submit player names and PRs. The CPU AI is just that, not built off of any specific player.
