The VF5 Thread: The future IS now. RIGHT NOW

Thanks for the vids. Hmmm…I gotta learn how to do that command sidestep a lot more and manage to get his other throws in their. That was a pretty good rushdown Blaze. I’m surprised he didn’t do d/b+P+K at distance. I tend to use that low dropkick every now and then. It’s not that bad, actually.

More training to be done this weekend.

yes tekken 4 isnt broken at all, thats why Jin is the most broken character in the game unless you can prove me wrong.

dont mind cygnus hes a IDIOY

Even worse than that, I’d hate to see what a good Jacky player does to him.

P.S. - Vanessa has a move called Death scythe too. It’s a good ass move actually.

After seeing some interesting results for EVO South, I know there are bunch of you hidden types out there not posting that you are playing VF5. (You know who you are! lol :wonder: )

Any here is some more stuff for those curious:

I haven’t had the chance to play VF5 yet, so can anyone could tell me what are the flaws with El Blaze and why he is usually at the bottom of the tier listings?

It was easy to tell why Goh was low tier in Evo, but everytime I see a video of El Blaze, he seems to have good damage, ok speed and decent grabs, making me wonder why he considered one of weakest.

And yes, I know tier list mean nothing in VF, but this placement confuses me.

His normals aren’t exactly rushdown material. They’re too slow compared some of the other characters. That’s as much as I can think of at the moment since I’ve only been playing for two weeks. Against a player that can counter well, El Blaze’s normals are pretty much weak if they can’t connect.

Got my stick in the mail today! I can do the Akira launcher now! Too bad I have no one to play against.

THIS THREAD NEEDS A GOOD SOLID BUMP, DAMMIT

for people who haven’t seen how insane the Jacky Spring Heel bounce juggles are, check this match out:
[media=youtube]IdwMfMjcydQ[/media]

OMG BROKEN!

not quite broken, like, there are worse juggles off of Kage Ten Foot Toss but for a character like Jacky it’s pretty good, like evidently you can do one more spring heel than what he does depending on the situation

or am i missing some sarcasm :confused:

Yeah that’s pretty awesome for Jacky, who can’t juggle for crap, but a lot of chars can do stuff like that on the regular.

To my knowledge Jacky, Pai, and Sarah can all bounce combo.

Akira after landing b,df P in a launch will bounce, which can be followed up with a double palm for really good damage.

There are probably others.

Also Kage does good damage off TFT but the real threat for TFT is ring out. Otherwise the grappling characters do way more damage (especially Wolf) off their throws.

Also Lau, Jeffry, Goh, Kage, etc. can bounce, lots of people can.

Agreed on TFT, the threat isn’t damage, which is usually 60~65. Tons of characters blow Kage’s combos away for damage. Even Pai/Lau have normal throws that almost meet a good TFT combo’s output. The threat is ring out from midscreen, hah. Biggest damage Kage has is off Jumonji Kamae counter, where he can easily break 100. Of course Jeffry Goh Pai Akira blah blah blah can all break 100 too, and more easily. Factor in a wall and everyone can be a monster (though the people I listed don’t need a wall at all).

there is a tft combo that does a lot, not sure who it is specific to

You -can- tech out of his OM K off TFT though. Not saying it’s easy for most and you have to know it’s coming, but it is possible.

played this today at a friends on ps3, it’s a great game. I just hope the 360 version is online as I have no arcade scene where I live

Got it last week. Being a VF player, man, I’ve been loving it. But after a week of playing, I DO wish you could bring your file over a friend’s house. Customizing feels useless to me now(well, it always HAS been, but it’s fun). Here’s hoping the 360 version fixes that.
