VF5:R Location Test Report!

Wow, thank you Makatiel for the info, and thanks Sudden Death for the scans!!!!

This is amazing!

From the sound of it Goh is getting lots of changes...hopefully it's for the better. No /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/f.gif /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif + /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/k.gif, /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif worries me, what are we going to do after a knee now? But everything else sounds like it'll help him, like improved throw damage (yay), and more entry points into Tsukami (yes!), and the /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/k.gif /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif into a throw sounds awesome (YES!)!!!

I wonder what's happening to Vanessa though, it seems like DS is changing key moves where as OS is getting lots of new moves. With DS, especially the /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/b.gif /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif + /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/k.gif and /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/db.gif /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif + /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/k.gif changes...what could you possibly do to reversals other than change animation or remove them completely and make them non-reversal moves? Hmmm...they have hit levels assigned to them, could they possibly be sabakis???

Well, changing /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/db.gif /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/k.gif + /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/g.gif for DS, for better or for worse, sounds good to me, I think it's great there's more differentiation between the two stances (and more options overall)

Although nobody has said anything about what she's lost yet...*worried*

 

Looks like Sarah's P4K has changed from a knee ender to a bootkick, I hope it staggers. And also, I'm wondering if they fixed FL K's counter hit(i mean allowing punches to link on CH). And who can forget Serpent cannon tweaks? I hope the first hit is unPKpunishable and 2nd doesn't randomly whiff this time around.

Is that 3P+K is that the move that cause that flop? Looks like a big ass backhand pimpsmack or something.

Also, what's Sarah's hcfP+G??? New sweet pain command?

Meanwhile it looks like Sarah has a lil bit more swagger overall.

Thanks for the videos and information everybody

 

Whatever they do with /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/db.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/k.gif+/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/g.gif I hope it's more consistent than the current incarnation. /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/k.gif in DS is a Godsend!!!

/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/f.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/k.gif!!!?!?!?!?!?!???!!????!?!?!?!?


no way...

 

This stage is scary against certain characters just by the way they have the players start in the round. I wouldn't want to fight Akira and Lei-fei on this stage /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/eek.gif

Oh, what am I talking about, I use Kage, heh easy TFT to wall combo to start the round YES!!!

 

While they're at it, fix /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/uf.gif /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/k.gif + /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/g.gif for OS too. I *really* love that move (tiger knee!), but I hate flying over random low attacks due to mysterious hit boxes.

Yeah, I saw the /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/f.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/k.gif too, it sounds like OS Vanessa can mix up different levels at each hit now, so you can't just duck her /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif strings...you can do /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/df.gif /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif (hm), /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/f.gif /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif (hhm), or /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/k.gif (hhhm)? Cool!

 

Damn I was hoping to see more of Jean's moves but that Wolf killed him.

 

It really looks like it!

I wonder it will be possible to use the same follow ups as the other major crumples. In general, Akira seems to have more close range options, Joseph kept doing a move that resembles the follow up to the /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/b.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif+/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/k.gif+/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/g.gif inashi...

yummm

 

Am I right in thinking Wolf now has a low catch throw (2:07 in the Jean vs Wolf vid). Also, since Burning Hammer is now a throw by itself, does that mean that the Ogre Chop hit throw has been removed?

 

At 2:36 it shows clearly. A first DE hits, then the SDE come s(stance switches) with crumple.

Good stuff if you ask me...

 

I thought it was a whiffed GS.

Jean moves and knockbacks like a Tekken character.

 

Thanks for posting all the vids Mike but I don't think I'll be watching them. I'd like most of the game to be a surprise to me so I don't want to see how all the moves animate or how they can be used etc personally.

And before anyone replies saying "WTFs wrong with watching Vids!?" - nothing, but personally I'd not like to know everything about it before playing. I know it's only a Loc Test but I want to see the new characters and stages with my own eyes when I get hold of it with the stick in my hand (still hoping for a console release).

I just like little tidbits of information to tide me over /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/smile.gif

As my brother said, has anyone noticed if the game has new music for the stages?

 

I don't think it's a GS, because it looks like he's trying to grab low. A whiffed low throw does sound likely though.

 

There's some sort of extended guitar solo in the Blaze/Taka video that I don't remember from Lei-Fei's stage.

 

Well I think that answered my question. Fantastic. And I also read a new HUD is present??? Awesome.

 

Thanks for letting us know about this, we are clearly better off with this knowledge.

Why don't you watch the vids and find out? Oh wait, never mind. My apologies.

 

You guys notice how tall Jean is? He doesn't seem that heavy though.

 

/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/df.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/df.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif like a real Goh player?

Other than /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/k.gif, nothing "key" was touched; reversals and /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/db.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/k.gif+/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/g.gif should not be the foundation (though they might get a boost).

As for reversal changes:
Vanessa has the most damaging reversals in the game; they're also escapable. My guess they might tone down the damage and make them unescapable, or maybe it leads to something else now (handhold?).
Of course they might have increased what she can reverse (ELBOWS PLEASE!!!)... or decreased.

Anyone with a replacement throw will make it scary too... 5 legit breaks for Wolf now. /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/cry.gif

 

I'm guessing we're seeing a height equalization in this test. Compare Blaze and Wolf by watching their matches against Taka.
