New Arcadia Article about VF:5 R

The new mag is out. I'm sure a proper translation will be out by Myke and Nin and co. But for now apparently you'll be able to do a side turned block apparently. Maybe Sega feel side turned situations are too strong ?

Certainly sounds interesting.

 

Hmmm...I like the sound of the side-block being implemented into the game, it really does add another layer of the "R"-reality, into the game.

 

Sorry but when I look at that picture of Jacky it does not look like he is side blocking to me. It looks like a normal standing block.

 

i never thought side turned situations was "too strong", well i hope they implement more than a side block in the game, i hope some one gets a translation soon

 

Looking forward to a translation.

Side block sounds interesting.

 

If there will be side-turned guarding->Then why need side-turned situation?! or why need for ex. OM to enemy's side?!...((...All of it will be useless?!

 

Not if you have to press up or down and G to side block.

 

With that speculation on side-guard controls in mind, I'm curious to see how low attacks like sweeps factor in side-guarding. it's still obviously to early to see how this will play out, but this sounds interesting.

 

your frames might be different after a side block too. Good job am2 adding a new layer with side blocking. I can't wait to see those animations.

I never thought that last picture was any different from a regular block either.

 

I don't like the sound of side-guarding. It's not as if players are always side-turned and getting pasted because of it.

Although, I'm guessing that /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/g.gif no longer reverts a character to front facing now - at least this would mean guarding after side-turning moves (Wolf /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/k.gif+/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/g.gif, Akira /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/b.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/f.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif+/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/k.gif+/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/g.gif etc) would still leave you sidal, allowing for more side-throw and side-low throw situations.

I trust Am2 completely however, and I'm sure whatever they do will be for the best.

I do think the Jacky guard picture from VF5R looks slightly different - but I would have never guessed it was a completely new type of guard.

Just a side note: I think choosing Jacky to represent this new guard in the released images was a bit of a mistake as his stance seems to hide the way he is facing slightly - for some reason I find El Blaze and Jacky backturned isn't as visually obvious as the other characters as their bodies seem to be twisted funny. El Blaze Backturned looks as if his sideways - it's not instantly recognizable as it is with the other characters. /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/crazy.gif

 

Side-blocking and anything else they might add... meh?

12 (or 13) frame punisher (only connects on mC), in the form of /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/f.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif that gives 24 damage and is +3 on hit for DS VANESSAAAAAAAA (and maybe switch inputs for /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/b.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/df.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif+/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/k.gif and /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/d.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif+/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/k.gif). <span style='font-size: 8pt'>[the only things I'll ask for, as it will render OS completely useless to me, ahahaha!!!!][/size]</span>

If i didn't know any better i'd think this is an april fool's joke /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/smile.gif

 

I think side guarding is a great idea, IF:
- it's designed so that if you guard after being side turned, you can be side-thrown easier.
- nothing changes in terms of hitting with moves from the side
- there will be side turned fuzzy...
- ...which can be beat by low-side-throwing

Oh, and give Jeffry his old side low throw back, so we can have fun doing that /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/wink.gif

 

like somebody earlier said, i think side blocking removes the purpose of OM, DM and setups that leads to sideturned attack situations. i don't like the idea.

 

You can still do all of that if they do not guard.

 

I imagine they still have to recover as well. You don't go insta block from a move because someone goes to your side I imagine. Now with side guard can we have some side attacks/counters?

 

I think it calls for more side-turning moves - and the moves that already side-turn could leave the opponents sideways for slightly more frames - making side-defense more prominent. And also some side specific attacks to make it more favourable to stay side-turned. So players don't just switch to facing forwards whenever they are side on.

 

WE also need a side of fries with that thank you very much.
