it’s coming out the 20th of february.
Man, thats like two weeks from now. Thanx.
If you need practice look into purchasing Evo if you have a PS2. If not, go to VFDC.
Shit, all those hours spent into training my Sarah were for naught… :sad:
Oh, well. Still got Akira. Unless he got nerfed bottom tier too…:wasted:
Sarah and Akira are still good in VF, don’t let their tier rankings get you down. There are tons of Akira and Sarah players that just rip shit up in Japan.
The bottom line is that no one sucks, ignore the tier list and play who you want.
QFT.
Tier lists in VF are subjective. As Deelite previously posted, VF is one of the only games where you see “low tier” characters winning tournaments and beating “high tier” characters. It is all a matter of how you approach your character.
so whats on the 360 port? B or C?
I’m thinking Ver. B since there has not been a C announced yet.
Then, again, Ver. B didn’t really change anything gameplay wise, as far as I know. It only added single-player content to the arcade.
Lol dude it’s Virtua Fighter. Keep that in mind. Bottom tier is an oxymoron with this series.
As for the Xbox, they said it will be based on the upcoming version C.
I would expect both the PS3 and X360 versions to be able to keep up with arcade revisions through updates/DLC.
They did nerf Sarah’s launchers and scale her damage, but she’s got lots more stuff to work with. From what I’ve gathered, she’s more of a finesse character now, but she still hurts regardless.
Just youtube some Sarah and Akira matches and believe me, you’ll be happy.
Very true.
It’s still all about Wolf :r: + :k: near wall, repeat 3 more times = :badboy:
Hah, that’s weaksauce. 
Do (HCB)p+g into a wall, then 9p+k, p, 9p+k, p, 6k :badboy: Pain.
And yeah Sarah is more based around Flamingo stance now, more of a finesse/stance character. If you liked her before you’re not going to suddenly hate her. This isn’t like MvC1 Wolvie > MvC2 Wolvie or whatever. Don’t stress it.
got the word from hydra632 that elecoms do work with dualshocks as long as you turn the analog button on. so if you have a custom stick and use a dualshock pcb, all you have to do is wire up a button to the analog so you can turn it on.
i just tested it myself with one of the white dualshock one controllers and it seems to work fine with the elecom with no lag.
so there is still hope if you bought an elecom and want to use it with your custom stick.
Ouch. Got me there.
The thing about f+K near wall x4 is that it’s so braindead easy.
Either way, I’m gonna be all over Wolf.
Lemme restate that,
Sarah isn’t nerfed to the point where playing her is pointless. She just fell REALLY FAR from where us as Americans see her from. If you play Final Tuned you might get used to her quick cause she was some what more Flamingo-ish in FT.
In EVO Sarah was all about poking and flow charts into get your opponent to eat a combo. She had the insanely good Serpent Cannon which gave her good damage combo with a safe hit confirmable starter. Her fast, long range, evade abusable Dragon Smash Cannon which did awesome damage. She also had a very strong threat mind game wise from her 3P and jab, since one lead to special high the gave you +4 on block and the other led to stagger causing mid kick with decent range.
In VF5 Serpent Cannon really sucks imo, the first hit is -12 on block meaning your opponent can both punish with a 12 frame move or faster attack (Jacky rape) or a throw (Wolf rape). Dragon Cannon is now -15 on block meaning you can eat a knee class punisher. Her mid kick after jab is now -1 on hit. Her throw damage got toned down, her wall throw and 360 throw both do 55 now. Her damage compared to EVO is definately toned down a lot.
The nice thing tho is if you are a FL type of player, you’ll enjoy her alot. She has so much new stuff that I can’t wait to try in VF5 for Flamingo. She also has a new throw direction that looks fairly useful. For those that didn’t get to play her in FT she also still has the Step stance which is fun to use.
I guess the elecom 202, seen here http://www2.elecom.co.jp/peripheral/gamepad/jc-ps202u/index.asp
, works with vf5.
i remember reading that the elecom 202 didn’t work with t5dr though and that it gave double taps whenever you input something. i think i read it somewhere in zaibatsu but made it a point to stay away from that one.
The 202 doesn’t work with T5DR just like the 101 doesn’t work with VF5. The 202 seems to be an analog converter whereas the 101 is a digital converter.
Also, the Virtua Stick High Grade has been officially recalled by Sega due to faulty switches in the stick.
link please about the recall. i’ve heard that if your system is set to english and you import a ps3 game that all the text is converted to english. is this true? can someone confirm this?
The link about the recall is in Japanese and I don’t have it on hand but you’ll hear about it soon when peoples orders get delayed again. Also, the jpn VF5 has the english language version on the disc. You can play all imports on your ps3 but not all games have the english language option, like Armored Core 4.
