Anyone still play VF5 Vanilla online? How about VF2?

Well I'm sure you weren't as bad as this one guy that plays all the time... psycho... something... long name. But he plays all the time and he is insanely cheesy. He's like the coolady of VF2.

 

no no, that's him, PsychicImp. Dude was an old school player from Ottawa Canada. I have his account now since he moved, but I changed his account name because I kept getting his "fans". You'd come on and just jump kick or just stand there. I had no idea why you kept joining my sessions if all you were going to do was waste our collective time.

If by cheesy you mean frame-specific and winning, then yeah - I guess he was cheesy. Before I took over his account he had a 96% win ratio with, like 1600 games played.

The game is unforgiving. People just don't seem to understand that and try and play it like the newer versions.

 

Ah... now it all makes sense. Were you the one that faced me when we did the sudden death in the small ring and one of us got a cheap shot at the last second? lol. I just remember playing against that name... and the only successful move I could get was a jump kick because it seems to be harder to block on VF2. I haven't played in a while... not many people play. I hate playing against Lion and Jeffery. Lion and his low kicks.. (bad on VF5 as well) and Jeffery has a lot of power and his throws are tough.

 

Yep. That was actually awesome. I wasn't sure you were going to play so I was going to walk you out of the ring but you hit me instead and I fell out. haha.

Blocking hasn't changed, its just the throws double as attacks and everything is damn fast so it's really hard to react to things.

 

I kinda wanna play a retro VF5 game just because I've forgotten what the game even felt like.

 

You should, especially if since you use Eileen. I still prefer FS, but the overall aesthetic and presentation, I like VF5 more.

It did re-affrim my belief, that the only thing Sega needs to work on, from VF6 onward, are the hit effects and hit animations. Final Showdown, did a better job in that regard, but there is still work to be done, and I hope it's met in VF6.

One thing that got me was trying to use GTE. I started getting used to it after using it FS, but I've pretty much stopped thanks to play sessions with VF5.

It's cool that you can Fuzzy up -6 in this one, haha!

 

They need to add more ground counters and escapes.

 

HAHA.. yeah that was entertaining. LOL
