    You fail to realize that there are a thousand thousand casual players out there who are interested in that stuff, like soul caliburs story mode etc. Increasing VF's sales would be a good thing. Of course its pointless to us, that doesnt mean its the same for everybody.

    like you, I used to couldn't care less about the non-existent story in VF. but if its inclusion (cutscenes, whatnot) could attract more players, then why not? and I think the whole point with cutscenes in fighting games is to be ridiculous anyway. only about a quarter of the cutscenes in Tekken make sense, and don't get me started with DOA. some people really like those cutscenes, if only for the comic value. like the above poster said, we can just ignore them anyway, because the novelty wear off after awhile.

    Are you talking about the interludes or the endings? Because DOA3's endings were pretty good compared to DOA4's endings. /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/wink.gif

    Besides, interludes are just plain pointless.

    I want Gameplay changes. Give us back Goh's /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/d_.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/f.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif+/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/k.gif and make a /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/g.gif-Cancel for /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/b.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/f.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/k.gif so that Goh does not kick and is BT.

    And the EVO Quest Mode, where the Arcades were just available one after one.

    Goh still had his 2_6P+K, the command is just changed to 2_3P+K.

    the G cancel for 46K sounds kinda interesting though.

    Everyone would want more Items, but I would prefer more strategic items placed in the game, the ones that suit the character. If they pay comissions to copyright owners, who knows what they can be.

    I personally would like an Ood mask (from Doctor Who) for Goh, complete with the translator hanging down to the chest and lighting up when he speaks (win pose, lose pose, opening pose, etc); Homer Simpson mask for Taka; and massive eraser hair for Akira without the headband. I mentioned comisssions to coryright owners.

    About the last post,
    "AryanDural" is an AI for Sarah
    "I am obese" " " Taka
    "Blue Lover" " " Brad
    "Japan Blue" " " Aoi
    "IAmInAGang" " " Jeffry
    I've got plenty more

    Woot, no way. Ood Mask is just gross. Goh needs his braids back.

    Online Update:
    -Make the interface resemble the Quest Mode
    -3 specific regions: North America, Europe, Asia
    - Within the regions there will be multiple arcades
    Example: North America will have East, Midwest, West regions.
    - Each region would have 5 arcades. Thought being if your in New York you will go to your own arcade to have the best connection.
    - Once in the arcade you can sit down at an empty machine or wait for a match to be over to play the winner. Maybe have High, Mid, and Low ranking machines. This should make it easier to find the Ranked player you would like to face.
    - The ability to win items and money during online matches
    - The ability to deny a match if the connection is bad (one or lower)
    - The option to set up Tournaments
    - Within each arcade there is a VFTV terminal so you can watch pre-recorded matches while you wait for your match.

    I like brisal's concept. It would be a great idea to make hosting tournaments easier.

    OK, make the Ood mask an item for losing.

    Now here's the controls I wanna talk about.

    I would like to change /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/b.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/df.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif+/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/g.gif into an animation where Akira goes under the opponent's arms to get to the other side, both BT.

    I hear, what happens to SPod?

    Well, the next thing is, I want body check and double palm to connect more fluidly, and and make Stun palm a collapse which a high throw can execute.

    So you get this new combo for SPoD:

    /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif+/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/k.gif+/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/g.gif>/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/b.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/df.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif+/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/g.gif>BT/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif+/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/k.gif>/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/d_.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/b.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/f.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif

    Don't make Akira scream when he does body check.

    Cancel /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/df.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/k.gif+/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/g.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/f.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/u.gif//forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/d.gif to make Akira ST, not BT.

    And also I want a guaranteed throw intercept escape.

    Let me explain.

    In the old games, you would have to put in exact last command the opponant put in to execute his/her throw to throw escape.

    So you're Wolf, and the other guy does a GT move.
    You do /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/b.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/db.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/d.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/df.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/f.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif+/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/g.gif, hoping you do 125% more damage, and throw him a long way away; or none at all, but the other guy inputs /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/f.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif+/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/g.gif a couple of frames later.

    Instead of any other /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif+/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/g.gif input used for a throw escape, to roll into the screen, he does a throw intercept. You would now risk doing damage, in this case, double feet to the face, to yourself! Since this was from a GT move, you risk 200% more damage (40pts damage opposed to 20pts).

    But you escape that intercept, because you held down /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/f.gif+/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/g.gif, and get pushed away from the opponant, who is down, face up.

    More names for AI bots, If I get chosen to name them, I promise Myke will be in.

    "Winchester" - Vanessa
    "daytonaUSA" - Jacky
    "Tough Luck" AK
    "AmericaPai" PA
    "I'm Losing" JE

    I'm praying they do the stage select like SC4 and I hope matches load half as fast as SC4's do lol. It's insane how quick that game loads.

    I like Brisal's idea of a Quest-like interface for online. We've been crying for region filters for the longest time, but a compromise could be to institute region based "arcades", and then you could seek out players closer to you with ease.

    Another thing I hate is the whole hosting issue, and pussies who never host but always pick and choose their matches. They should institute and arcade like interface. If you sit down and win a challenge, then you stay on that "machine" and automatically host. If you have region based arcades, then there's reduced risk of laggers joining you.

    A side, and fun, benefit to this is that you give players the opportunity to "hold" a machine and build up a win streak. You could even base an achievement or something around this. There's a lot of satisfaction and excitement with trying to hold a machine among a group of players.

    Finally, while you're on a machine waiting for a challenger, you should be able to play against the CPU to kill time and stay warm, just like in a real arcade. I hate waiting and/or searching for players, and my time could be much better spent in other ways.

    Brisal's quest mode interface FTW! The concept he presents sounds perfect. I think we should all work to get Brisal on the development team as a consultant or something.

    Nobiyuki, another AI has to be Demihuman, or Dmhmn. What happened to him?

    Anyway, most important control to add: Give Goh a Kani Basami, he needs it badly.

    I was getting to that, but it would be a bit boring. I was also going to put in Chibita (LI) as well, along with 'others'.

    Now my next won't be popular, but why don't you pay to play online (Like 30XBLP for 3 turns), to complete the real arcade feel we were talking about earlier.

    And tournaments that you have to pay to enter. The host gets 25% of all the fees if he doesn't play.

    Then It goes like this:

    What happens...If the host plays/If the host doesn't)
    Host (0%/25%)
    1st place (37.5%/25%)
    2nd place (18.75%/12.5%)
    3rd place (9.375%?6.25%)
    Sega (The rest/The rest)

    People should gamble XBL points in replays or start animations during matches. Don't press start yet!

    And when you win items, make it item points that you can purchase from a different set, which is unlocked by rank.
    Or cn be swapped in exchange for XBL points (but cannot be changed back).

    Brisal, I'll recommomend this to Sega Nerds (they chose the Zoah's name for Sonic Chronicles).

    I know i'm late to the conversation, but Street Fighter is King because it was the first major fighting game, AND it remained Deep and Ages very well, AND Capcom exploited it over the years and made tons of spinoffs. Sega hasn't made any good virtua fighter spinoffs like Alpha series, MVC, X-menCOTA etc., Capcom vs. SNK spinoffs and so forth. Capcom for example, have been more willing to integrate their game with A. Their Competitors, B. other Form of popular culture, C. Other variations of the same general game.

    Sega on the other hand, could have easily worked with Namco and developed a hybrid system or new engine for a Virtua Fighter vs. Tekken game. They could have easily explored A. 2D virtua fighter game, or one with a more liberal fighting system ala, the vs. games or even the Alpha games. Sega finally thought about multiplatform, when previously, they got stuck with their console, and therefore had to be released on Very Poor systems like the Saturn, and Dreamcast, when fighting games genre was still in it's prime. Then, just when for some 4-5 years now, when Everyone said, Fighting games are on the decline, so in order to compete, you must have online capabilities. Some many years after Capcom had already done it with street fighter or the vs. games, years after Team Ninja already done it. Sega had the audacity to still go the route of, we think our game has too much information to be played well online and therefore release VF5 on the PS3 without online, AND release it without a save system that would then allow you to take your character to your friends house and compete against his. Therefore you kill the only viable alternative to online. Finally, it spured the folk who supported them for the PS3 release, by releasing an enhanced version for the 360, but couldn't do the same, even via a downloadable game for like 20 bucks for the PS3. Finally, not everyone likes to just play a whole bunch of repeat characters with different name and costumes over and over again in single player. Soul Calibur 3 for example, had a great storybased single player campaign, which gave you at least SOME incentive, to go and beat the game with every character, to see their storyline, ending, and cutscenes. Sega has kept to their very archaic roots since the very first Virtua Fighter and has been VERY rigid when it comes to change. Like I said before, Why have a move (Akira's Knee), when 99% of the people cannot do it consistently even 3% of the time). We are not talking about advance combos here, we are talking about a Single simple move.

    Anyway, to be constructive, in the general topic of this board. What we would like is a multiplatform release, with online play, ability to move your character via memory card to play against your friends, and the ability to patch the game, ala many other games, so that we can have the very latest variation of the game, when it is released. I'm afraid, a more deep involved storyline with some in game scenes with speech, and separate cutscenes for major events and ending scene, would most likely only come in the NEXT installment of this game.
