Fuck realism, hail gameplay.
^ Oh It Matters Goddamnit!
i don’t understand your point? you obviously reacted without reading my post.I don’t care whether the characters are realistic or now.Master Shake could be on the next Tekken for all I give a shit.My point about realism is.I’m tired of playing 3-D fighters and losing becuase i’m getting hit by stupid shit.For example, I was playing T5DR against a friend.He was Jinpachi and I was Christie.I was beatin him so bad at one point i almost perfected him.While he was on the ground, he shot a straight shot out of his stomach, which logically should have gone upward.That move is unblockable, and Tekken characters don’t ever seem to side step far enough becuae everytime I try to sidestep I still get hit…by any move.2-D fighter’s don’t have bullshit setbacks like that.In SF you get hit by what your supposed to and there is nowhere to run, or unblockable moves.
My El Blaze is pathetic, and I can’t seem to dominate with Akira anymore. I do see improvements to Kage and maybe Pai. They are my go-tooers’
Akira’s definitely gained more good than lost I think. From what I remember when I played(Dont have a ps3 so I’ve only played at a friends), his SPoD doesn’t track at all anymore so that kinda knocked it down on its utility. (usin SF terms here)Hurricane kick motion-> P gives a frame ADVANTAGE when blocked now! So that move is definitely great looking at the damage it can do when followed up with a combo. and backforward P+G is like the new ten foot toss.
You should probably get a little bit more educated before you post. I can’t speak for Tekken but in VF there is a way out of any bad situation. Between going for counterhits, fuzzy guard, ETEG, your own throws, etc. there is always something you can do. I can’t speak for Tekken, but if you’re honestly going to say that you think 2-D fighters don’t have their own BS or unblockables (they sure do!), then there was probably something you could have done in that Tekken situation that you just don’t know about yet. As for ‘nowhere to run’ in 2-D games, name a 3-D game character that functions like Rolento, or Vega, or Mai, or Storm. To save you some trouble, there aren’t any.
I think what 1/2Man 1/2God is trying to say is just that Tekken has weird hitboxes?
^I’m sure it’s just me because I haven’t toyed around with Akira in a while. I have it on the PS3 so I’m certain I can brush up on my skills quickly.
I tried to go with Lion again, but I still mess up with his advance techniques.
is there a decent strategy guide for this game? i know nothing at all about vf and was thinking of picking this up
Honestly I think this forum is a good enough strategy guide, you should probably look at the VF terms mega thread first.

^ yeah, but i like having something i can look at and flip through while i’m playing
Oh okay. I kinda gathered that from this part :rolleyes: :
Logically? Logically speaking a man wouldn’t be able to come close to doing that. Logically speaking I can tell you’re a fucking moron/scrub, used a subpar character against the boss (whom is tourney banned, no?) and didn’t stand a chance to begin with. If you were so concerned with logic and realism and the eradication of stupid shit why is a game like Tekken acceptable. Why did you play a Jinpachi player? Why did you allow that game in your house what with it’s outrageous juggles, boxing kangaroos, robots and combative bears? Why not one of those K-1 Grand Prix games?
I’m guessing Urien just doesn’t come to mind. Or parries. Or God Rugal. Or SNK Boss Syndrome. I’ll remind your dumbass that you played against a boss character (that was controlled by a human) which typically has abnormally overpowered techniques to compensate for their substandard A.I.
Yes, actually. Kamui and I wrote it with input from Srider of the VFDC. Published by Bradygames. Cheapest outlet is Amazon, I believe. The VFDC is also a great site to check out, lots of good character/matchup/advanced tactics discussion, along with movelists and framedata.
i’ll check it out. i assume that it’s available at eb games and the like
Yeah, it’s the official Virtua Fighter 5 strategy guide. I recommend it, there’s a lot of good stuff in it.
1/2 man 1/2 god is a moron this has been established.
Here are some great VF5 Matches from the SoCal 2007 Tourney in March.

Mos Def voice YOU DON’T EVEN KNOW ME! The point I was trying to make with my posts is that Tekken is a good game but is frustrating becuase the game sometimes has unrealistic reactions to certain moves.DOA is the same way, Bayman shouldn’t be able to take almost half my energy with a a boston crab submission.My other point is,while VF has some is all that impressive as far as moves are concerned…they did a good job of making the reactions to the moves and the damage it takes out more realistic.NOW you people need to stop making such big deals over nothin.
Wow There is something I can do when Jinpachi is on the ground shooting beams out of his chest but I was so fucked up about the situation I couldn’t think of what to do.I’ve never seen something so stupid in my life.When I said there was nowhere to run in 2-D i meant that there is much space to get away.In 3-D there is sidesteps and all other types of evasion tactics.And i know in VF there is a way out of every bad situation and i’ve been giving VF props the whole time.I like VF for the that reason.The only way you lose in VF is if you opponent is better than you.In Tekken and DOA that might not be the case.You might find yourself getting hit my moves constantly you thought would be able to.3-D fighters haven’t been able to comprehend that at some point people are going to push a button at the same time, and the game has to a make a distinction on should get hit first based on the attack they do.Iunno if KOF2006 is actually classified 3D,but It suffers from that all the time.I played it today against the computer.I was Billy Kane and I was fighting Luise Meyrink, I swung my Cane at the same time she chopped at me and her hand went right through the Cane and chopped me.That’s bullshit!
