Virtua Fighter 5 Final Showdown console thread

That’s pretty much a given…

thanks, but just to follow up on this, the “customize” option is totally greyed out if you didn’t get the DLC. kinda bummed out since i thought they would let me access at least the base costumes.

anyone notice that on psn, the people you play don’t get logged into “players met” in the XMB? i never get a chance to say ggs, or joke about how we’re both having a grand time mashing buttons.

Okay, good. It isn’t just me. I was trying to track down people from a room match I was in earlier and their names didn’t show up.

I noticed it as well. It’s going to be difficult to add the good players with decent connections to my friend list.

It has officially hit XBLA. Go go go!

I stayed up just for this!

I’m having trouble completing the evasion -2 tutorial. Anyone have tips how to do 33G?

No more jumping 50 feet into the air :frowning:

Lion has multiple + on hit or knockdown lows and safe tech jumping launchers. Wasn’t paying attention to him before, gonna have to do so now lol.

If you just input 33G without timing after w/e then you’ll get regular standing block. Work on getting a feel for when the mid connects, buffer crouch dash, and time it so that you block the mid at the last possible moment.

Different sticks have different layouts.
Just an FYI ^_^v

All items are DLC and you have to purchase them to see them not only on your character but others as well. VFDC is still working on FS info so some of the stuff you see is more related to 5.

Da hell are u guys playing? I played some full bar online matches and this thing is horrid. Ima have to go out to locals to even grind this game out :confused:

Just curious what is your upload and download speed, and what console are you playing on? Also were these random matches or did you play with people you know so you could gauge the quality per distance? I am hoping we get more “detailed” analysis of the netcode. Right now I’m in the lab so I haven’t hopped online and don’t plan to for a few days but it would be great to get concrete info on the netcode. This will also help iron out any ignorance and false information on the performance of the netcode.

Loving this game. I’m in the middle of downloading some DLC, but this game feels great. I knew it from the get go that I’d love playing Eileen, and then there’s El Blaze as well. I’m still adjusting to the “charge” inputs though. I do like, though, that the inputs are very similar to Super Smash Bros. I plan on getting back into that once the fourth one comes out so this will also serve as a refresher.

Thats unfortunate.

Unfortunate that the full DLC + game offer is PSN exclusive.

It’s good to see VF have its own section on here. Hopefully they’ll add subsections for each character.

I started using Jean, played a bunch of matches, only lost 1. Then I started playing with a friend because the people who were on player match would quit on me after a couple of matches. I think Pai fits my playstyle better than Jean.

On full bars, the connection was amazing. No dropped connections. No lag. No desynching. The lag was pretty apparent with the people that I played who I didn’t have full bars with, but it’s still playable. I’ll just stick to fighting people with full bars though. If full bars is terrible for you, then it’s your connection.

But I hope alot of people getting into VF. There’s no excuse not to, especially when you could have got the game for free via PS+. I got the $30 bundle which is an awesome value but took forever to download and install everything.

What do you mean by this, exactly? I love Melee, but I don’t see the resemblance…

Maybe it’s just me, but it seems that you have to do most directional inputs like the Smash attacks (i.e. FSmash).

I just bought this, this game feels amazing. The most interesting character to me is Brad. Is he good? Execution heavy, easy to play? how he plays overall?
