Virtua Fighter 5 Final Showdown console thread

It’s really appreciated Reno. Following your combo list on VFDC for Jean as well. I like this character a lot so nothing is going to make me drop him. I’m just at rock bottom in terms of skill here.

Good source to get info on this game?
I wanna learn Lion, and I need research!

I already have a couple of customs in mind.

Eileen - Kyary Pamyupamyu
El Blaze - El Fuerte
Sarah - Luka Megurine

And watch every Chibita & Fuudo video on youtube.

So I’m checking out Taka, and one of his moves seems to have an incorrect command. Higumazume is charge :d:, then :b::f:P+K, but instead of the charge, it’s :d:P.

I’m playing VF for the first time and It’s pretty straight forward imo.
I’m a fan of Pro wrestling (WWE, etc.)
I pick Taka and Wolf first.
Wow, I think I am in love.
The trials are kind of difficult but a bit of time and rage should fix that.
Man, this game is pretty freakin’ sweet! Thanks BASED SEGA!

Are there any compatibility issues with players who have the DLC and those that don’t?

I never did finish the 20th tutorial, haha. I’ve made one custom outfit for every character and I’ve been having fun just going to the Command dojo and busting out everybody’s moves for the first time. As somebody relatively new to Virtua Fighter, based off this first experience I’m really, really impressed. The game is a blast to play and it really rewards knowledge of fundamentals. Props to SEGA for really coming through with not only building a great game but making it easy for newcomers like me to pick it up and learn fast and have fun with learning.

Actually, I don’t think it was a mistake. The :d:P was added to make the move easier to perform. You’re crouching during the punch animation, so if you do the rest of the move, it will come out.

That looks correct to me, and correct in the official site. It’s not a charge move, you have to be in a crouching position and then do :b::f:P+K

I did command training with Wolf. This guy busting out the F5, Burning Hammer, Diamond cutter, Crossface, Tazplex, STF, Jackhammer, Tiger bombs and all sort of wrestling moves. Instant main

I Marked out so hard while doing the training. :rofl:
The dude hits hard!

I thought about getting PS+ to get the game for free but that was until I found out that they had the full bundle for $30. Copped that ish with the quickness and it’s downloading right now. Now in grind mode.

Really? I haven’t played it yet [heck I dont even plan on maining Jean], but why is it not fast enough. Do you have to wait a certain amount of time/frames before you can cancel or is the cancel itself slow?

Is there a guide for the characters, or in depth guides for pokes and what not? I know SRK won’t have them.

Ugh returned from work only to do more work in all this downloading lol… $30 is a steal for everything

here’s a vid to show you how one higher level player use Jean’s charge move

As you can see it’s really used to anticipate someone’s reaction. You can see he tried to do the charged mid-kick twice but failed because the guy evaded it properly but you can see how the 4KP(hold)~K is used to create good opportunities to continue your offense.

Also, like I said before, because Jean has all of these charge/mixup variants it really discourages people from evading too much, but that also sets up his guard break move (starts with 46P+K)

So you cant unlock any items the old way if you just get the barebones game? I got a 20$ PSN card like a certified dumbass without double checking anything.

Is this wiki updates with Final Showdown info? Some things it talks about with Sarah Bryant seem to not work.

Also, do you unlock any items in the game normally or is it all just dlc?

edit: yeah, what the guy above me asked. I have the dlc packs though.

Yeah, I regret paying 15 for the game, but I’ll just buy my characters packs and still be under 30 bucks.
Is there a solid tier list for this game?
