VF5 Final Showdown Console Features

Are they still reading this thread for suggestions?

Is there anything in place to prevent accidental pauses? I suggest a hold start to pause for X amount of frames, say 15 frames or so? I had suggested this to Mike Z, who is working on Skullgirls and he enjoyed the idea and has put it in.

 

Sounds awesome you know off topic for a moment SCV does sound really good and better than SCIV. Back on topic I finnaly got myself an EU copy of VF4EVO the other day (after my swap disk broke and I couldn't play my NA version) and remembered just how awesome the quest mode was. I'm hoping the new license mode is something similar.

I'm very interested to know about unlocks also, or indeed if there will be any now that the items are dlc

 

Since we're talking about SC5 now, one feature that I would really like to have is the ability to change colors on any part of a costume I don't like as an in-game feature. Totally apart from the items dlc.

If I want to make Vanessa resemble her VF4 self or change someone's hair color, I should be allowed to do so.

 

Please for the love of god, make sure there is a fight request mode option, so players online can challenge you while you are doing single player mode. Nothing is more boring than sitting in your self created game lobby waiting for players to join. Slightly off topic, there should be a thread in these forums where everyone lists their play schedules of VF5 on XBL.

 

Much agreed. I would be all over that lobby training mode.

 

Personally, if I had to choose, I would pick the ability to watch the fights. But I'm sure the choice to watch the fights or go to Dojo mode would be welcome by others.

 

Oh you mean the ability to access training mode while hosting, that's a great idea!

I was talking about the lobby where players wait their turn to play and the ability to watch the two players who are currently fighting.
I don't have any other online-fighting-game experience other than VF, T5DR and SF3. I like SF3 setup where you can join a lobby and watch others fight. You don't even have to fight, you can turn your "ready" switch off and just watch others fight. That be a great option to have just in case players want to run it back or do 2 out of 3, etc.

I also like the mic options in T5DR. It can be a free for all or you can mute specific people

Oh and the SSF4 replay sharing and uploading option

 

They should not copy the training mode from SC5. They should copy the training mode from Evo.

In regards to Rickwondo's idea...it would be great if other people could break-in and play us while we are playing the single player modes.

 

Why you have to be in a lobby while waiting a challenge?? Just use the game and set yourself like "i wanna play online". Meanwhile you keep doing what you want.

 

You can also do that in VF4:Evo. Once you have a recording you can set any playback to a percentage thus randomizing responses.

 

It would be nice to get an iOS or Android frame data app. I'd gladly pay a couple of bucks for one.

Having had the chance to look at SFIVAE replay channel system again I can only hope FS has something relatively close. so jealous of what Capmcom did for that game.

 

I hope there is I like the ipod that allows you customize on the go like the kiosk.

 

I meant to say app.

 

I know this won't happen in Final Showdown, but I think it'd be really cool if the characters would appear in their respective stages' backgrounds, when the character is not in use. For example, say you have a fight between Sarah and Brad in the Temple stage. One might see Kage meditating in the background, but he's not super obvious. Just a little nod to the character's connection to the stage and a fun easter egg for particularly attentive fans.

I think it'd be a really nice touch, even though it's entirely unnecessary to the gameplay. Then again, the same thing could be said of all the fancy accessories, not that I've a problem with (most of) those.

Also, if ever Virtua Fighter pulled a Tekken and added minigames, my vote goes to a Cooking Mama-style game in which you work for and are constantly berated by Lau, even when you perform optimally.
