Most powerful move in VF1

I was reading the other thread and realised that many people
claimed to have played VF1... So can any of you remember the
most POWERFUL moves in VF1???

I know for one, Akira's d/f+p can be repeated for like
many many times.... and those P (MC) cruxifix... confirmed
HUGE damage for a P(MC)....

 

akira's bodycheck was nice damage, jacky's kickflip was nice. Lau could float you for 100% combos. Elbow-heelkick and shin slicer were 100% safe if blocked /versus/images/icons/laugh.gif

 

ugh, christ. vf1. killer moves. too many to mention.

where to start?

lau with his upkn floats is up there. upknP -> upknPPPd+K is pretty much guaranteed on heavies with any upkn float, and with lighter ones, the sky is the limit. well, actually, upknP -> upknP -> upknP -> PPPK is the limit. i have a movie of it, would you like to see it?

then you have jeff with the TKoD. you can't really squirm away from it like you can in 2/3/4, you have to bend over and just hope the jeff doesn't fuck it all up.

akira and his bodycheck isn't as high up as others might have thought - it's fairly easily interruptable (by throws, too!) and you need to be pretty close to get the 'OMFGWTF!' sort of damage. but nothing beat his RBC -> knee -> bodycheck combo for style and damage points.

to address your point about MC low punch or high punch into throws, it's not as guaranteed as one may think it is. in my play with other good vf1 players, these were indeed nasty, but far from the 100% ticking bullshit crap as people have made it out to be. to be honest, it was never more a big deal in vf1 than in any of the other games. vf3(rev A-C, not tb) was even worse, really (especially with the low kicks).

really though...jacky, in the end, was killer moves summed up. elbow kick, punt...sickening. against a really good jacky all you could do was pick lau and hope for the best.

 

Actually, Mr. Bungle...

I would love to see any movies you have of exceptional VF1 (to honest I've never really seen any).


cheers,

Call it a fanboy reaction....but by gods Rich I hope u will turn up (if all goes according to plans) and bukkoroshiteyaru!!!!!!!!!!

Looking forward to extend my rsw gameplay collection!!!! ^___^

Currently, only 2 clips.

 

I think Rich was referring to the introduction to the "Boston VF(3) Trailer?"

Anyways, I've posted two movies online with some VF1 footage.

there was a troth of them on the vfa, which used to be on creed's server. these movies were almost entirely of me dueling GE. calling them "exceptional" play is a huge stretch, but it gave you a good idea of what high level vf1 play was like - which was like most of the other vf games at high level, but with fewer moves.

chan posted some of GE's other stuff (thanks chan), but there's much more. no place to host them at the moment, and me being stuck on 56k only gums things up more.

i'd be up there in a fucking nanosecond for a vf2/3 meet - as long as certain other people are not there. ask GE about this..

and thx summers..

 

I don't remember in great detail, but I definitely remember being actually shocked a couple of times by the sheer amount of damage a "deep" BC would do. Same for Jacky's kickflip on MC. Scary damage.

An "abusable" move I remember well was Pai's d/f+P (ground punch). I used to get seven or eight against CPU Shun!

CPU Dural was a sucker for d+P, d+P, d+P, u+f+K =]

grib.

 

err..shun wasn't in vf1.

vf2 cpu was semi-retarded anyway. you never got more than one df+P against a decent human player.

 

power moves.

If VF1 it wasn't always just a particular move that was powerful or dangerous but how it could be put together.

Laus' upknife punch combo,. for instance, guaranteed a throw if blocked or hit. outside of the combo potential that's pretty disturbing.

Jacky's kickflip while super powerful could be blocked while crouching and even whiffed on crouching non-defenders (open stance, I believe). Akira's bodycheck could eat a whole bar at the right distance and depending what you interupted but the move had to be inputed much slower and with more precision than in the later versions.

Jacky was supremely evil with his low back fist, punt and easy as pie, PPelbowHeelkick combo. the good news was that the low back fist was low throw counterable if blocked.

Ahhh, VF1.

heh, of course you're right about Shun... I'm a fool

I think the VF2 CPU was wise to the ground punch... I think I could only get that many in VF1. And of course, never against humans.
