Virtua Fighter 5 Final Showdown console thread

Akira is a japanese fighter who doesn’t use a Japanese fighting style.

Brad is italian and does Muy Thai.

Sega does like to mix things up and not stick to the same nationality stereotypes.

Shoutouts to Steve McQueen

Been having fun customizing.
Shun Di as Master Roshi, complete with hermit cane and red sunglasses.
I’ve been watching Archer lately and decided today I’m going to make her a Lana Kane outfit.

So how many people are playing this on a stick instead of pad? Not bothered which is better jus 3d movement ( side stepping) has always been awkward as Fuck for me playing Tekken an having the same problem here :expressionless:

Anyone else having trouble?

I use stick cause i only have worry about 3 buttons. With the controller you have some shortcuts input buttons that it should be easy.

I’d love to see a lucha libre fighter from Kenya. No one would see that coming.

I wish I understood what Brad was saying in his victories though. I just don’t understand what he says.

Is there even a British fighter in this? So far I haven’t found anyone to relate my typically British tea drinking habits.

This AI is beasting me, I can lame them out but if I try to play footsies and work on setups they ch and evade everything. Very rage inducing or maybe I just suck lol.

What does everyone else think of the AI?

my issue is that the AI starts out EXTREMELY easy even on the toughest mode. but then the difficulty ramps to stupidly hard around the 5th round.

I would love to see steve mcqueen or james coburn in vf (or any fighting game for that matter)

Also truman capote and earnest hemingway but for different reasons

A fifth round jacky on VH makes me wonder what will win my stick or my CRT. After a couple attempts Iam very tempted to find out.

Only A.I. character that pisses me off to no end is Akira (obvious) and Dural (way more obvious). Sucks Dural has always been a DO OR DIE fight. Grr…

Online is hilarity. Have yet to run into someone ragequitting on me, but I have ran into people who had angry faces (plays on 360), but I beat them soundly enough.
Could’ve sworn I ran into a couple of people using a lag-switch, though…connection was full bars, but after winning first round, things took a turn for the LAAAG (luckily opponents were still stupid so I still used Lau and PPPK OOYEEEEEEAAAAHH’d them to death). Fun times!

Well I was finally able to beat dural on normal. I’m happy for that at least.

Unlike other games I play, VF feels so right on a stick, i.e. I manage better than I do on a pad. When I switched from pad to stick in the original VF5, I never looked back.

Well, I suck at this game. At least ten games in and I get my ass handed to me. I gotta work on side stepping because it was very inconsistent for me to do in an actual match. Of course, I don’t know Eileen and Blaze’s reversals, if they have any.

Yeah, losing is bad enough, but not knowing what to do is the worst. Got streaked for several matches just now.

Reversals as in parry type moves? Probably shouldn’t worry about those just yet, they are an addition to your moveset rather than a fundamental staple.

Are you on XBL? We can try to get ourselves out of our holes together.
