The thing is a lot of people watch youtube vids or a stream and don’t actually know how good the sprites look in person. I think because Tekken has more things going on in the background and more stylish characters as a whole they feel Tekken looks better than VF. I’m with you when it comes to VF looking good and when the console version hits it may change peoples minds. AM2 has always been on the cutting edge when it comes to arcade tech and when ever VF6 comes out it will most likely be announced using a new board. I like how VF tries to be grounded in realism as much as it can. I read a thread on VFDC about ways to make it more appealing to the general audience, but doing something like that takes away from Virtua Fighter’s identity.
To me, your initial post on this thread didn’t leave anything to discuss other than its negativity and lack of substance. ‘VF is ugly and doesn’t grab my attention’ isn’t anything people can actually address in a discussion. It’s one-sided. Given that this is a discussion thread, it just makes you sound like an ass, possibly with an axe to grind. I mean, okay, presumably the people in this thread either feel differently or don’t care about aesthetics as much as you do, so what do you hope to accomplish by posting that?
I already explained to you why in the post you dismissively replied to. The one where you deliberately mis-characterized the posters in this thread in reply to me. The reason I reacted the way I did was solely because you made a negative post devoid of substance. Let’s have a look again. Keep in mind that exchange happened over the course of a few hours dude, it’s not like I’m purposefully dredging it up to mess with you.
What motive would you have other than to provoke people? Also, what about my assessment of your post do you find confusing?
I agree. fwiw, Tekken 6 does look better from a technical standpoint, but I’ve always enjoyed the no-bullshit look and feel VF had more for whatever reason. I prefer the animations too. VF5 and so on added more elaborate item silliness but it’s all optional and the items are fun too.
lol this page is ruined because somebody decided to assume something and say something stupid and unnecessary. Then a new person decided to instigate, and bring it back up. Nice job guys.
1.) graphics arent a huge deal to me at all, though im positive there are other people who will also agree with me this game is visually lacking.
i was pointing it out, and that is an opinion, saying it isnt is you deciding its a fact. this is a discussion thread. if somebody has a opinion on the game you talk about it, but once somebody says something bad about it, you and everybody else who are avid players of the game decide its not a valid point then bash and troll the specific person. if you cant handle bad opinions of something you enjoy, im sorry but deal with it. i dont hate the game, it’s fun to play.
2.) if there were more of you then it would seem like a pack of piranha attacking. lol
3.) virtua fighter community so far seems…crappy. thanks for helping me come to that conclusion.
4.) its not trolling if i want to stop talking about this and for everybody to shutup. thats the opposite.
End it here. don’t reply.
Good, get the fuck out.
Jesus you’re stupid.
I guess replying to an idiot is its own form of stupidity, yeah.
If you wanted it to end, you wouldn’t keep replying so you have the last word.
Some people don’t like the way VF looks fair enough, everyone has there preferences when it comes to style though I don’t think vids/streams do the game or it’s animation justice (especially if it’s new players). Personally I don’t like the look of Skullgirls at all, VF is more my style cause the characters look like actual fighters/martial artists/wrestlers etc. I’m not too fond of wacky looking characters, under age or all female casts, but for some people that’s more their thing and that does have a large bearing on what people decide to play.
Interested in checking this out. It looks like Wolf is the only grappler, any others or hybrid grapplers (like Alex in 3S) I could use? What are the tiers?
Most characters have a highly damaging throw, one with nasty setups afterward or both. You’ve got El Blaze, Taka(?), Goh, Aoi and Jeffry as ‘hybrid grapplers’, though maybe not in the same way Alex would be since VF’s different game. Kage and Akira have had a lot of throw options in the past too.
I think Reno had a tier list, couldn’t find it on versuscity.net but here’s a news post - http://torontotoptiers.com/other/virtua-fighter-5-final-showdown-tier-list/
There’s also Jeffry and El Blaze
Thanks dude!
VF got the stream hype. Good showing this weekend at NCR for the game!
I’m not even sure how you define a grappler in a 3D fighter, I just thinks it’s the character with a fuck ton of throws. EmX listed them all but I thought Vanessa would’ve made the list. Of course, I’d trust EmX judgement over my own because I’m still a novice.
Goh also has a good deal of strong grapple options although he’s not specifically a grappler like Wolf.
I really enjoyed the VF portion of NCR. Here’s hoping the console port gets the following it deserves.
Jeff, Wolf and Taka are the real true grapplers in this game IMO.
Taka is probably the best grappler in the game because his forward throw does 80 damage but his back throw can do up to 90 damage (normal damage is 80) if you’re up against a lightweight character. Wolf has the single most damaging throw (Burning Hammer) but Taka’s throw game is a lot scarier IMO.
Oh yeah, Vanessa might fit on that list now that the directions are universal. Thing is, Jeffry, Aoi, Goh and El Blaze had more throw directions. Vanessa had 2 good throws in each stance, one mediocre-ish throw, a position changer in defensive stance, and neutral P+G. She has low throws in 2 directions like Pai, and catch throws/setups into mount where you pick which strikes and finishers to do and they can guess out of it.
Reno - What are the max damages of Wolf’s throw directions in FS? I know burning hammer is 100…the new suplex is about 65? Did they tweak F5 again?
Forward is 100 (Burning Hammer), while Giant Swing is next at 80 (perfect input)
Back is 75 (F5) and next is 65 (I forget the input tho)
Godokunodan maybe you should make another video of your sloppy execution with a stick. Pad or Stick it doesn’t matter just play the game and have fun.

My latest match vid, although it’s not so recent since it was sometime in early February… The last time I played before this match was back in November so I was rusty as hell. And I’ll probably be rusty next vid since I haven’t played a match since early Feb.
