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

Sorry it took me forever to respond about that PM, but I am still supporting this game and hope that people at the local C3 will continue to try and get stronger. I don’t think the next C3 has it as an official tourney game but hopefully I can talk to some people to try and run a side tourney at the very least, last time all there was were casuals ( and no one could really beat me ;_; )

i’ll also be playing it at NEC but VTYME is a no-can-do for me, a lot of East Coast players have been put off by Jinmaster’s antics in the past and just don’t want to be swindled again. Hopefully NEC has a strong showing for VF though. Hoping also to actually get to play Jaxel’s Brad this time ( didn’t get to play him at Otakon, lulz…his Brad seems really strong though! )

When Best Buy get game related items, they usually don’t come in until Wed., but there are exceptions.

I suggest you call Best Buy on Tuesday afternoon, if not, go there on Wed. but go there around 12:30 pm because the receiving people are sometimes lazy to check games in unless you tell them to.

Yeah, took me a while to find all those vid links but I think it’s a nice collection. Glad you enjoy it.

(I was the one that showed all of those to FE :wink: )

hey on a side note happy birthday to The Granby aka Dan
play some VF5 man, congrats :tup:

VF5 Review!

Hey guys, first time poster and honestly I probably won’t be here too often, though I did have a friend who used to post here years back (I don’t think he does anymore).

Anyway, in the case of full disclosure, I do work for Gamer 2.0. I just wanted to let you guys know that we did publish our review and if you would like to check it out you can read it here.

I’ll go ahead and paste the first couple of paragraphs, and if you want to continue reading you can check out the link.

I completed all the orbs and the balloon trick doesn’t apply here, I’d have to lose more than 515 fights to get the number even.

I’ve never farmed this kind of things and I’m not going to start with VF5, I’ll just play online from now on.

Alright, thanks Taygeta and Gorehound. I’ll call up there after class today, hopefully I get some good news.

As far as I know, (don’t have the game yet :sad:), the wins and losses don’t have to be even. They merely have to end on the same number. So if you have 517 wins and 7 losses, it should work.

Oh, I understood it wrong. I’ll try it later.

Are you fucking kidding me?

The gamestops around here don’t have the game available until tomorrow because of shipping.

^Yeah, it’s the same for me too.

Time to hit up Target/Wal-Mart/Best Buy/Circuit City/etc. If not, I got to wait till tomorrow too :sad:

I just called Toys R Us and they told me that they’re checking on it right now and to call back at 12.

Man this is silly man, if I was tryin to get dat madden or halo they’d be asking ME to come pick it up before I would even ask if it was available or something

EDIT: the fuck? Target doesn’t have it either. waiting on the 12 oclock toys r us

I checked like 5 different stores in my area. Noone has it. Everyone is saying 2morrow.

Fuck man I cannot wait another day. Where is a time machine so I can fast forward to tomorrow.

I’m checking FYE, TRU, Gamestop and RCS Experience in NYC.

I can’t wait until tomorrow!!!

gaystop always fuck things up

I knew the Gamestops/EBs wouldn’t have it today, but I was hoping maybe a Wal-Mart or Target would get it in today. Called 3 of each, no luck. I hate shopping at Wal-Mart, but if I can get this early, I’d be there in a heartbeat. I’ll probably check again at Midnight tonight.

While we’re talking about availability, I’ve gotta ask…has anyone ever been able to get on the phone with someone working at Circuit City? Every time I call there, theres like 30 goddamned different departments, but no one is ever there. I swear Circuit City is run by phantoms. A miracle happened a few months ago and I got a hold of someone…in car audio installation. Unfortunately he spoke Spanish and couldn’t guide me to an operator.

What’s even worse than that is the people who are answering the calls have no idea what the fuck you are talking about.

Me: Hello. I’m just wondering if you have Virtua Fighter 5 in stock for the 360?
Employee: What?
Me: :looney:

Apparently Toys R Us in our area got a few copies. I don’t have money for a 360 and VF5 and a stick, so I have to wait, however.

FUCKING WALMART!!! Man i fucking waited 2 hours at walmart thismorning skipping out on alot of work and the bastards didnt even get it in today. Im so fucking pissed… =\

Man, I don’t know if I can walk another 20 blocks…:looney:
