Basics - 0:28, Evade - 32:09, Knockdowns - 42:46, Fuzzy guard - 1:06:23, Option selects - 1:31:34, Back and side turned - 1:45:27, Ring outs and walls - 2:01:55, General tips - 2:18:01

There were a couple of points made which were technically incorrect, and I’m not sure if this was on intended in order to simplify the explanation, but just in case and/or if any new players really want to know:

Side Frame Bonus
The side frame bonus advantage is determined by the base damage of the attack. I think you mentioned that only Punches received a bonus of 2 frames from the side, while everything else got 3 frames. The way it works is:

base damage 14 or less: +2
base damage between 15 and 24: +3
base damage 25 or more: +6

Counter Hit Bonus
Similarly for the counter hit bonus, you mentioned it was based on the attack class (P, 2P, etc), when again it’s based on damage of the attack being interrupted:

base damage 24 or less: 1.5x
base damage 25 or more: 1.75x

Great stuff, but the info is very overwhelming.
Granted, I watched a lot of it, but the main thing I don’t understand is the throw break system.

Seems to be a lot of talk on how exactly throw break works among the people here, so I was hoping for a clear answer here.
Wondering: how exactly DOES throw break work?
I was told you can input 2 throw breaks in a window, in case they go for a back, natural, or forward throw.
You can choice either 2, and hope to break it. Is this really the case?

You only get 1 throw break. There are no Muli-Throw Breaks, anymore. Just 1.

For those of you who have a decent grasp of VF and are looking to step your game up.

Started about a week ago, making videos showing off all the moves that you can punish when you BLOCK them. Punishment is such a huge thing in VF, that guaranteed damage can make or break a round / match. Have 7 of the cast done right now. I’ll have the rest out in not too long.

Figured it would make more sense to post this series i started in this thread then making a new one…hope you enjoy.
