Versus City will be closed for approximately 2 to 3 hours this coming Friday, 29th March, 2002, for maintenance. Please refer to the below for the scheduled down time:

<table width=50%><tr><td>Los Angeles, Vancouver</td><td>0000 hrs</td></tr><tr><td>New York, Toronto</td><td>0300 hrs</td></tr><tr><td>United Kingdom</td><td>0800 hrs</td></tr><tr><td>Singapore</td><td>1600 hrs</td></tr><tr><td>Seoul, Tokyo</td><td>1700 hrs</td></tr><tr><td>Sydney, Melbourne</td><td>1900 hrs</td></tr></table>

The <font color=orange>Version C Command Lists</font color=orange> for all the characters will become available over the coming days, so head on over to the Character sections and click on the Version C link for the Command List. Version B Command Lists are still available.

The data available in the VFDC Ver.C Command Lists include name, command, damage, hit level, reversal class, execution frames, guard, hit and counter (MC) hit frame difference, escape direction, and relevant notes. These Command Lists are based off the data in the Blue Book. Clickable column headings allow for sorting.

<font color=red>All Characters complete:</font color=red>

Aoi | Jeffry | Lau | Lion | Sarah | Vanessa | <a target="_blank" href=http://virtuafighter.com/commands/index.php?chara=wolf&ver=c>Wolf</a>

<font color=red>Pop quiz:</font color=red> You're up against Lau in the finals. There's a VF4 Arcade machine (among other, equally insane prizes) at stake. It's the last round of the deciding match, and you've just escaped his f+P+G throw. What do you do?

Well, if you stood there guarding, waiting for the 529th PPPd+K, and failed to guard the d+K again and lose the match, then you really should read this <a target="_blank" href=http://virtuafighter.com/view.php?section=vf4&file=vf4_throw_escape.html>Throw Escape Chart</a>.

And then torture yourself for the rest of your life with the knowledge that you had a finals-winning counter throw guaranteed against Lau!

Special thanks to SummErs for putting the original chart together!

A preliminary <a target="_blank" href=http://virtuafighter.com/commands/index.php?chara=dural>Dural Command List</a> is now available on VFDC, under the VF4 section for the time being. Originally taken from Weekly Famitsu (2002/3/1), it's still lacking in damage values, reversal levels, and other data, so any help to fill those out would be greatly appreciated.

Does Dural warrant her own Character section? Or can all Dural related information live happily under the VF4 section? Please let me know in this thread.

Thanks to mao2 (from GameFAQs), with his permission I've taken his Rankings guide and given it the VFDC treatment. This should answer many questions to those not sure of how it all works, as well as serve as a useful reference for translating the Japanese characters used to denote the rank.

The document can be found under the <a target="_blank" href=http://virtuafighter.com/vf4/>VF4 section..

This latest document, <a target="_blank" href=http://virtuafighter.com/view.php?section=vf4&file=vf4_break_fall.html>The System of Break Falling</a>, aims to explain the mechanics, properties and risks of the two types of Break Falling techniques -- Quick Rising and Tech Rolling.

Is the Dojo craze sweeping the nation? Ken of Versus City proudly presents his training manual for the fighting monk, the <a target="_blank" href=http://virtuafighter.com/view.php?section=vf4&chara=lei&file=ken_lei_introduction.html>Lei Fei Dojo</a>. Be sure to check it out!

Still coming to grips with Virtua Fighter 4? There are two new documents available under the Sabaki attacks and <a target="_blank" href=http://virtuafighter.com/view.php?section=vf4&file=vf4_evading_chart.html>Evading</a>. So, if you're unsure on the mechanics of Sabaki attacks, or Evading, then be sure to read them up.

I'm pleased to (finally) announce the opening of the following sections on VFDC:

<ul type="square">[*]<font color=orange>Media</font color=orange> - an index to VF media sites
[*]<font color=orange>Events</font color=orange> - an archive of past, present and future VF related events
[*]<font color=orange>IRC</font color=orange> - information on how to chat with other VFers
[*]<font color=orange>Links</font color=orange> - an index to VF related and various other sites
[*]<font color=orange>About Us</font color=orange> - just in case you don't know what the site is about
[/list]
Comments, suggestions and feedback are welcomed. If you run a VF site, let me know so I can put it in the Links section.

Long overdue, but I'm hoping they were worth the wait. The VF4 Command Lists have been given the VFDC treatment.

In the VF4 Character sections you'll find a link to the Command List. It has a database back-end which makes it possible to sort the moves by their properties. If a column heading is clickable it means you can sort in descending order by that column. Click it again for an ascending sort, or click on the name column to return to default view.

Once frame data becomes available it will be easy to view your character's attacks from the slowest to fastest, or even filter out moves recovering in under X frames, for example.

The command lists were based off the Perfect Guide and Mr. Bungle's General FAQ.

As usual, if you find any errors, please let me know. And finally, a big thankyou to Moby who helped me convert the ascii command lists! *phew* There's still a little polishing to do and the addition of a commands legend, so expect a minor update soon.
