Hi new to VF5 and could use advice

Hello every one. I've done 50 ranked matched in past couple days since I've had the game. I don't got the greatest record, but didn't think I would... Anyways I've been just playing with Goh and I think I'm doing alright... Most my fights been against those currently above my skill lvl (I usually adapt and learn fast in fighters), thus I been taking a heavy number of L's. However I've ran into a few other fellow "noobs", and beat on them pretty well... so really it is kinda difficult at the moment to judge exactly where my skill lvl is at thus far.

Anyways any advice on using Goh?

 

Re: Hi new to VF5 and could use advice

Hello Rakarr,
I would like to play against you, if you life in Europe.
I guess Im an average player, so I dont know how much advice I can give to you, but fell free to add me.

Anyway, welcome to VFDC

 

Re: Hi new to VF5 and could use advice

K I sent you a friend request on XBL.

 

Re: Hi new to VF5 and could use advice

My friend Mackfactor is a goh player, a good one, I think he can show you a few things in mirror matches on live, I'll ask him.

 

Re: Hi new to VF5 and could use advice

hey RAKARR, hey i main goh, im somewhat new if u dont mind, but i know alot about goh.. i been playing vf now for like 9 months. I could help u out. Ill send u a personal msg, and tell u which acnt to add. this accnt is full.
Hey if u dont mind, in order for me to teach you goh stuff.
Can u print out the frame data for GOH, and ill show u, but its hard for me to teach without it. If you dont Fuzzy or take defensive actions with goh or not know whats punishable or safe etc, goh is limited.

BTW, goh is a solid character. But, he requires alot of work as in, u should prob study other characters too.. His offense isnt great... hes very linear.. But if u got a good def, goh can be very strong.

If you can, maybe look at what
ETEG= evade throw escape
TE
FUZZY
CF

if u can look for the definiations of those, that would help to

 

Re: Hi new to VF5 and could use advice

Yeah I'm down to learn some Goh stuff for sure. I don't got a printer, but I got my computer right here by my xbox... I think I'll be fine though. I'm better at just seeing things in my head anyways.

 

The above mentioned tips are quite helpful for a new Virtua Fighters, one should follow this in order to become a good fighter here.

 

icy msg me again if u wanna play again.. i assume u dont play anymore so i took u off..
nothing personal..
I have way too much ppl to add and play that i cant have ppl on my list who arent on VF all the time.

so for future ref. anyone that added me, who dont play VF anymore i delete asap. but if u r deleted and still wanna play just msg me thanks.

AS regards to training new ppl. Ask kaminaryi oyagi, he is a great teacher. i need to concentrate on my own game and i have no time to help out with new ppl atm, maybe i will again, but not now

 

Somebody needs to sticky Macks post, I've seen the same one for months now!

 

New VF player and I play Brad mostly. Any tips?

I usually play Brad, but I can't seem to get his "Step-in Knee~Fake Jab~Body Crush Middle" combo on the Command Training or any of the sliding combos. Any tips? Another question I had was for the offline quest mode. I'm currently stuck on 9th Dan and my exp bar isn't going up (it's been like this for about 40-50 matches), anyone know why? Lastly I know you can buy the pink light bracelets in the item shop but i've been seeing a lot of online people with blue ones and some people with odd prop weapons/items, are these items only attainable through item battles or do I have to reach a certain rank/complete an achievement? Any help is good help ^ ^ thnks!

 

Re: New VF player and I play Brad mostly. Any tips?

the answer is..... Look in the console section' please...

Playing for sometime

Hey guy's. I've been playing VF5 on xbox for about a month and, a half. I'm pretty settled with Jacky until VF5FS when I can start learning Jean Kujo. However, don't know how to train or, if i'm training properly. I'm somewhat of a hardcore DOA/SC player but TBH in terms of technical play neither are really as technical as VF (well a little portion of alpha patroklos). Anyway's when I train to learn a new game in both DOA/SC I go through the characters moves and familiarize myself with what characters can but VF is different the characters have so many different moves that I feel like i'm approaching the game the wrong way.

So far I've been going over the weight class, defense fundamentals (grab breaking, fuzzy guarding,), understanding the difference between open/closed stance and Jacky's Frame data. I've been playing online matches but, I get raped everytime (of course i'm not expecting to learn such a technical game in a short period of time). So what all should I be looking for to improve? At my current skill which isn't that great what should I be aiming for?

 

Re: Playing for sometime

Make sure to read the System for more information. You'll learn how to play the game with any character. Then you can move on to Jacky specifics.

Also, think about fighting in terms of taking turns. If my attack hits, it's still my turn to attack. If my attack is blocked, it's my opponent's turn to attack.

 

Re: Playing for sometime

Playing against other Jacky players and copying their setups, combos and pacing also helps.
