I love the VF5FS stuff so far. I host casuals usually every other thursday. I want to have a community for the game just incase we get a TGS announcement for it. If any one is in the UT area plays the game let me know. Every one take note pre TGS VF5FS or bust. We should try to build a vf community before tgs and if doesn’t happen then crap I don’t know.
Beat Tribe cup is starting in about 30 minutes! There are over 700 people there right now!
??TV ??? | ??'10 -THE 8th ARCADIA CUP TOURNAMENT-
If you get a password protected message, don’t worry. The staff is still setting up the stream, it’ll go online soon!
Hmmmm… I been refreshing the site for a while now, they are still setting up the stream? Because it still asking for a password. =/
EDIT: Ok, now its running, sweet!
Oh this is brilliant, thanks for the link!
As a side note, hearing all these classic VF themes in VF5R makes me wonder if they are doing the same thing with Final Showdown? I really hope so, I want to hear Black Cat Moon and Ride the Tiger again!
Some great matches here, the dude playing Jeffry atm is really impressive. :tup:
Thanks for the link to stream.
These matches are savage:wow:
Over 700 and people wanna say VF is dying in Japan?
This shit was so hot.
Alright I wanna start playing more.
So when is everyone on live usually? I would like to get some matches in so hit me up with a pm or whatever.
I could really use the practice with my Aoi and try getting my counter skills back up there.
hit me up
I’ve heard some classic tunes in some of the FS vids so I assume there all still in there although VF4Evolution’s tracks were apparently missing from R. Yeah Ride the Tiger’s one of the best themes in the VF series.
okay I must admit, this game is starting to really grow on me. I used to think vf4: evo was the end all vf. but 5fs looks nice and seems to have evo’s speed.
i dunno…
but i’m thinking about buying vf5 for ps3 again. i just have a ps3 (no 360). so what are the changes between the two games (besides 360 vf5 having online)?
The 360 version was more based on the ver C arcade. It has some balance changes, more custom items (some of which have to be downloaded), more options in practice mode, commentary option (JP or English), better AI, extra difficulty settings in quest and it’s easier to get money.
Official release date for Final Showdown is the 29th!
CONSOLE release date?
…yeah, I know. :wasted:
yeah I wish too
Are the balance changes too dynamic that you shouldn’t practice Vanilla VF5?
I’m sure VF5FS is a different beast of it’s own though.
But I mean vVF5 being $10, just tryin to see if it’s worth it.
For anyone who is getting into VF for the first time, going with the PS2 version of VF4 Evo or VF5 (any platform) is a good idea. There are a lot of changes from VF4 to VF5 to VF5R and now to Final Showdown, but you can still work on your fundamentals with any of these games.
For those who haven’t seen it, this is from the Beat Tribe Cup… Hama stars vs. Daibutsu Punch. Homestay Akira goes through Jin (#1 Kage?), Itoshun (#1 Brad and highest win % in the country) and Koedo (#1 Jean) all by himself. Fucking ridiiiiculous. His match vs Koedo at the end was awe-inspiring; he was down 0 - 2 and came back to win three straight, so damn good.

Going with VF4: Evo is a great bet. Most of the combos transfer over, at least they do with Jacky. There’s a few good combos/bnb’s with him that transfer over.
I’m sure the same goes for a lot of the cast. I’ve seen several Lau/Wolf/Kage VF4: Evo combos in VF5 as well.
That Homestay comeback at the end was awesome. Under pressure in the 3rd round he managed to pull out the 1 frame knee launcher after ducking under Jean’s guard breaker/hit throw.
Is SBO still going with VF5R and do arcades there still have VF5R or have they all been switched over for FS?
Pai VF3/VF4 bnb of p,p,p,d+K juggle doesn’t work anymore =(
Gotta practice crouch buffering again. =/
BTW, why did VF5 make the d+k part of that string so damn slow and weak now? Its like Pai waits an hour before unleashing the sweep; don’t get why they made it like that now.
why would anyone even bother with this when tekken x sf is around the corner? this game ain’t even special, it’s just like tekken but with unecessarily complicated shit like stance specific combos and weight classes.
