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

As far as fixing the disc…I have a game doctor at my house so technically I could fix it myself. Problem is it’s kinda hit or miss when it comes to big scratches and if it misses…probably not going to get an exchange. Oh and yeah Worthless…you pretty much proved my assumption that there’s no legal way to download the games. If you can’t get on Live anymore…that means it’s not legal in my eyes. :lol:

Definitely not moving the Xbox ever again while it is on. If I see anyone even look like they’re going to move the 360 I’ll elbow drop them first. This is still Microsoft’s fault. You can blame anything on them. :lol:

people help the vf scene, demand vf5 at your local tournies!

^ Done. We’ve been playing about once or twice a week here, and have small little tournies from time to time. Big gathering on the 26th coming up, should have footage from it.

This new update has been the best blessing ever because of the fun matches that come about because of the option to play others even if they are on your friends list, it really spiced up the game considerably.

vf5 will more than likely not be at evo because it is getting 0 tourney play, hopefully MAD in virgina gets a decent turnout and other places start to hold more tournies for it as well. If not it wont be at evo

I would never pay money to play in a VF tourney, but i do respect the community. The game just doesnt have enough excitement to be in any tournament to me. I doubt if its going to be at Final Round either.

Yeah…it’s tough to get excited about the game if you’ve never played it before. I only watched a bit of the matches during Evo East (when they were on the big screen) and never really tried to look for anyone playing VF5 at Vegas. It’s just not as flashy on the outside as other 3d fighters. Once you begin to learn the game though you see how fun it is and seeing that it’s on a next gen system that means there’s no issues playing it on newer HDTV’s. Not to mention graphically the game is amazing. Not necessarily explosions and flying through buildings flashy but…it looks good. The gameplay is where it’s at though and in that respect it’s just awesome. Every character has options and all of the characters are worth playing in a tourney. There’s so much character variety and different ways to play.

It gets exiting when you realise what is happening behind the sometimes seemingly mundane visuals.

Heck, MvC2 would be boring if you didn’t know what was going on in it or people weren’t yelling/crowded around it all the time. It’s flashy but if you don’t know what you’re watching, it just seems like everything is being automatically done lol.

I scratched my copy of Guitar Hero 2 the night I got it, I accidentally knocked the system from on the side to on it’s back. I brought it back to Wally the next day and got a whole new box, I just told them it came scratched. As far as already owning it for awhile, good luck. I wouldn’t try the Dr. until you’ve already tried to replace it. If the Doc doesn’t work, you could try boiling the disc. If that fails, you’ve tried everything… sell it on ebay. :rolleyes:

Oh I already got things worked out. My bro works at Best Buy and he bought from the store he works at so they had no problem replacing it. Especially considering he had already bought another copy and we never opened it. I only like the Doctor as a last resort seeing that it doesn’t always fix things.

So I finally got online today. Played some good matches with SpiderPig. I’m especially impressed with how good the connections are. Maybe it’s my Fios working its magic or something but I haven’t had one laggy game after playing multiple people for about an hour. It really felt like offline play. Now I’m sure when I play offline again I’ll be like “wait a minute” but this is by far the best online fighter on Xbox Live. It just plays really well online.

The only problem I have right now is that I’m using my Hori EX 2 stick to play online and I don’t know if it’s the stick or this normally happens but…the game will randomly reset the controls to default. The stick’s buttons are totally off when playing on default and I need my custom set up to play online. Is there something you have to do to be able to use your custom control setup online? It’s been really annoying since I’ve been having such a good time otherwise.

NINJA EDIT: I figured it out. You have to change the controls on both sides whenever you play online. I was challenging people so my controls would always be off. :lol:

You have to set the controls for both the 1st player and 2nd player side. Once you do that your custom control setup will work for online matches.

^^^ Thx.

dj if your online today add me

EVOADVAN

Got you added. Quite a few people online today it seems. Just doing non ranked matches right now. Cool that you get to choose between the two. Can just play and not have to worry about people’s egos.

Just got this today. I’m down for some games if anyone wants to play

GT: VonBlitz

I want to get back into VF5, the netcode is one of the best. I was beasting people with Wolf for the first few weeks it was out, but then I had a bit of an SNK Renaissance. My Hori is a little loose too… from me dropping it stick side down at least 6 times now.

Anyway, if you see me online, RUN!

Taken from my post @ VFDC…

Im finally uploading vids that ive had since VF5 was first released on the PS3 and 360. Most of the vids are from Live with some offline tourney footage i have somewhere. It will be @ my Youtube profile… http://youtube.com/profile?user=coNsPirAcy83

Ill be updating ASAP with matches against Jerky, Chef_Frash, dennis0201, ChiefGuttiWolf, Konjou_Akira, JunoSynth, and many more…

I just needa find the DVD i have em burned on…

Oh and dont mind the discoloration in the upper left corner of my TV. My LCD has some lag when i play VF on it (its not visible but you can feel it) so i play on my old Sony Trinitron. Yeah its old but its still hi-def and no lag.

  • SUMOTX

PS - Yeesh, after watching the Youtube results, ugh. I needa find a way to record direct but my camcorder doesnt like hi-def sources. When i figure it out, ill upload higher quality videos.

I really enjoy the game using an ls-32 stick. The short throw and stiff spring are great. Things have been getting better with the online play. I guess my connection isn’t so terrible… or maybe I win as much as I do because of lag.
