New to VF - which fighter should I start with?

Re: Eileen and Pai...

Since u know nothing about the character you might want to try them all out instead of setting ur decision in stone.

 

Re: VF5- Which Fighter should I play?

Wow thanks a lot Lucid! I have a friend over right now and we are both practicing VF5. Thanks a lot for all the tips, I really appreciate it! Specially regarding the throw escapes, you read my mind on that one (that and Reversals/Sabaki are my biggest obstacles atm) /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/smile.gif
If you want, add me on the PSN! ^^

Re: VF5- Which Fighter should I play?

I've got the terrible dilemma of not being able to stick to one single character. There are simply too many cool ones to use! I've tried a bit of Brad, Pai, Sarah, Jacky, Goh (briefly), and El Blaze. For a while now, I've been content with El Blaze but Vanessa has been looking more and more interesting day by day. Normally, I'd just switch yet again and be done with it but I'd like to decide on a main before I head to Japan in a couple of months. I'm going to be there for nearly a year and would like to have the basics all ironed-out with a single character so I don't just get my ass kicked 100% of the time in the arcades. (I can be content with 85% )
I do know I like characters with a decent-sized set of throws and also those who are lesser used/ under appreciated. Thoughts?

 

Re: VF5- Which Fighter should I play?

goh, good throws, looks cool, and misunderstood

 

If we all agreed on the same answer to this philosiphy question this thread would be all dead now.

 

well pick one. Its better to be good with one character then be mediocre with all of them /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/grin.gif

 

I'm starting off with Lau.

 

Pretty much anyone but Akira... Until you really start understanding the VF5 system, he will feel like he has concrete blocks strapped to his feet.

 

The fighter you first start with is the one you first select.

 

I'd add Wolf and Shun to this too.

 

Can you make a sort of tokusatsu costume with El Blaze? If so, Ima play him. If not I might play with Vanessa. I enjoy rushdown/grappling chars overall.

 

Hi everyone!

I'm new to Virtua Fighter and I have no idea who I shall begin to practise with. I usually pick the Karate characters (Ryu in Street Fighter Ein in DOA), so I think I'm looking for something that resembles that style.

 

In that case you might like Jacky. Also later on when you get better you may like Akira, but as stated earlier he isnt good to start with because of his difficulty.

 

Thx for the tip Jacky actually look pretty cool so maybe I will play him.

Just one more question I saw that a Karate guy (Jean) will be available in VF5R so I will probably switch too him when that game comes to the consoles. So I got a new question who resembles him the most play wise?

 

Jin from tekken....no one in VF seems to play alike...thats what I love about it...

 

It's Jin + Ein y0!
