Mask is a scary Jacky, he gets 2 excellents on Chibita!!! :sweat:

Also check out his down to the wire quarterfinal match with Kesuto (Sarah).

I let my Live account expire but I’ll get it back for VF5! I can’t wait.

I bought a PS3 just to play VF5 and I’m super excited to get the 360 rev in a few weeks.

Oh dang, I thought it was more than 3k. Still though lol… this particular Arcade… it’s whack. I mean, I should be promoting it in every positive way considering it IS an arcade and DOES have a couple fighters. But if you knew this place lol… odds are…

Damn 3k… How tempting does that shit sound for home purchase… man.

Fuck your couch nigga.

The PS3 version is a fine port, actually. The problem is that it’s not version C and you can exploit the AI (but who gives a shit about that really).

Oh, and of course the lack of online play.

i think 3k is just for the game and hardware that you put into a cabinet, not for an actual cabinet that is vf5 ready.

^Correct. I hear the total package (Lindbergh hardware, VF software, arcade cabinet with LCD screen) is around 10K. :wasted:

I know one VF’er that is ballin enough that he could afford it but still :sweat:

Ohh, ok that’s it then. Well poop, 10k is definitely out of my budget haha.

Haha, you know it’s true. :wink:

VF5 is coming just in time with the arrival of the 65nm 360s, (depending how much old stock your local stores have)

I will be picking up a 360 by the end of the month and be fully PSWii360 next genned on all 3 consoles

Yeah forgot about that, however you don’t need to buy the official Lindberg cab Shag.

Any cabinet will do, just like how they used Sega Blast City at SBO for VF5. The arcade in San Diego has the game in a old american cab.

You lose resolution sure, but hey at least you get 100% input timing (analog display). In fact you guys can probably convert your dual cab set up from FT -> VF5 if you wanted, save some money and space.

Hey guys just gonna post up some reminders and events coming up.

For all east coast guys and anyone wanting to travel for VF! VTYME is looking to have a BIG turnout (VF wise) of EC players. NYC, NJ, VA, FL, and PE folks are all coming down for it. It’s looking to have a bigger turn out than EVO finals (LOL wtf)

For west coast guys, we are having one final PS3 gathering in San Diego and then later on a special 360 gathering that’s both OFFLINE and ONLINE, allowing people outside of the state to participate and play SoCal players.

San Diego Gathering->http://virtuafighter.com/forums/ubbthreads.php/ubb/showflat/Number/148079/fpart/13 (2nd post, please post if you are coming)

Special OFFLINE/ONLINE Azusa Gathering-> http://virtuafighter.com/forums/ubbthreads.php/ubb/showflat/Number/171585/fpart/1

There is also of course NEC8 which will have VF5 -> http://virtuafighter.com/forums/ubbthreads.php/ubb/showflat/Number/171039#Post171039

Colorado’s Ranking Battles -> http://virtuafighter.com/forums/ubbthreads.php/ubb/showflat/Number/171187#Post171187

A tournament at the London Expo -> http://virtuafighter.com/forums/ubbthreads.php/ubb/showflat/Number/171310#Post171310

And Jaxel’s Halloween Event in NJ -> http://virtuafighter.com/forums/ubbthreads.php/ubb/showflat/Number/167866#Post167866

If you are interested in VF or want get competitive try supporting some of the events, stuff like VTYME is picking up momentum and will help keep interest in VF up(and hopefully a spot again at EVO).

PEEACCCEE OUT!

I wouldn’t really consider those ranking battles for Colorado reflective of anything, yet. Wait another month or so then they will.

That’s a good list of events though, good lookin out.

I was talking to my CO peeps about this, but what is the best way to “shake” out of a move? Wiggle back and forth as fast as you can? 360 motion while mashing on the buttons? Hold guard and wiggle and mash?

TELL ME!!!

Please tell me.

:wonder:

Answered your own question

^^Most people prefer to hold G, rotate stick and alternate pushing P & K.

I can find 0 info on Goh. I <3 unique grapplers and want to stop sucking asap.

Any links to tourney vids? Good faqs? B&Bs or mix-ups? Anything? Virtuafighter.com is done for some reason.

What again? VFDC goes up and down often these days. Just yesterday I was using the VFDC Wiki for El Blaze.
