Virtua Fighter 5 Final Showdown console thread

Soo I hit 1st Dan :smiley: Sheeesh I thought everyone would be using Wolf online, but I feel like Im the only one YAAAAAY :smiley:

Im losing alot, especially to Jackys and Pais, :(.

Usually in new games I end up getting 80% win rates online but this game…ARGGHH

Anyways I love this game, and im shocked at how grabs work in this game, grabs arent as OP as I thought they would be.

Ohhh and this game has soo much beautiful stages I love it .

Im thinking about tryin Jeffry out? Is he more of a grappler or brawler?

Jeffry definitely has some strong grabs, but they feel like they are more an addition to his game than the basis of it like it is for wolf.

Just got to 3rd Dan in one night, and my win rate is a pretty god awful 55% :frowning: 360 VF players are SERIOUS. I checked out the battle points/rank leader and it’s Mukku, a Sega sponsored Taka player. There’s at least 15 other names I noticed just by glancing the leaderboards. :o

^lol I wanted to grind leaderboards…

Are you serious? I gotta face that kinda competition…

Life sucks…

Is VFDC down for anyone else?

I think a flood was opened last night and that site can’t contain the amount of scrubs like me.

Can you guys tell if the latency is better on XBL than on PSN? I had some good games on PSN and some OK ones, but nothing really laggy. I downloaded the game on XBL really late last night and had to sleep by the time the download was done, so I didn’t get to play.

PSN was fine for me. Game is amazing!

I hate the changes Goh got… he barely feels like the same character…

Well time to try someone new… I invested so much time in him on the previous installments too…

:sad:

Guess I really am going to start playing Jacky…

Wish it had ping numbers instead of bars.

I really like how they slimmed down the movelist.

Second this, bars are really deceptive.

Man, I’m such a fucking scruuub :rofl:
I’m having a lot of fun right now.
I’m really liking Wolf, Taka, and Akira.
I’m not too sure if learning all these characters at the same is such a good idea, but it’s difficult since I really like all 3.

Using Lion is a lot harder than I thought it would be.

Man, this game is so awesome for only $15. There have been rants about the multi-player but personally I find it better than SF4AE and SFxT’s online experience. The gap between matches is so small, so you are always playing against someone as quick as possible. The only thing comparable is SF4 vanilla. The graphics are not the far off from Tekken and for only 3 buttons, it’s as sophisticated as SF4. VF has come such a long way since massive polygons from a decade ago.

More like 2 decades ago now, '02 was VF4, '93 VF1

I feel old :[

oh man, your right… I feel old too =(

I would say soo much more sophisticated!! You can write in a post-it all the moves of Ryu or Guile (and in an actual match a lot of people only spam hadoukens), but no with VF5:FS, we have a lot of options that we need to learn when and how to use them. Have I mentioned that this game is amazing?? XD

Should I get this game or keep playing diablo 3? Hmm… I never have time for games any more. Worried I’d get this, play it for an hour, and be done. I’m definitely a 2D player but with ttt2 coming out and doa5 i wanna work on my 3d skills. Any advice on what I should do? I literally know nothing about VF, but I have a pretty damn solid SSF4 game. Characters good for beginners? Etc. Let me know, sell me this game VF crowd!

Small question: Can you customize the characters without buying the DLC packs?

No. without any DLC pack, the customization option is greyed out and unselectable.

Man, I quitted WoW for Diablo 3… then my friends and I pre-purchased on steam torchlight 2 with a free copy of torchlight 1 and quited diablo 3 for torchlight 1 XD (diablo 3 is a “good” game, but not good enought to have the diablo name on it, shame on you blizzard!!)

Im going to keep playing SF4 and UMvC3 for sure, but VF5 makes me want to master that game, I think it has a loooot of potential to be fun and competitive and hype.
