VF5R Movies

The new frame data overlay seems to already have sparked new combos and such...

Among other things

 

Thanks for the link! It's actually her new , I've come to love this throw now . Finally looks neat... After only 7 iterations of the game, hey! The catch throw is gone though.

Sweetness, thanks! This reminds me, gotta go see Ice Ribbon at least once... If I have time...

OM NOM NOM NOM. Thank you!

 

New site, started by a bunch of Taka fans (got it off mixi)

http://www.vf5r.com/movie/index.html

Lots of movies... but only ones featuring taka

 

the page I linked to, yes, but the other parts of the site are dedicated to Taka tactics, combos, etc. They even have an ongoing blog with Taka thoughts.

Sorry if this got posted already, but check out the weird glitch when Sarah's kick flip knocks Vanessa over the wall. It somehow got canceled...

I hope that's just something that has to do with low walls because if this happens on high walls I can only imagine the crazy combos or damage that can come from this.

Sarah (Nori) vs Vanessa

It's a part of the new gatling kick beat, throw combination. The fact that it's a throw is why it cut short like that when Vanessa went over the wall, sometimes throws cut themselves short when characters go over. For example in vanilla, when you use Sarah's neutral throw near the edge it cuts itself short funny like that too, if the opponent falls out the ring before it's over.

Atleast that's my explanation.

 

Is that a wall throw or not? Probably it's just a bug??

 

Its not a wall throw, just a new animation for Sarah's Gatling Beat Kick (270 FL throw). The fact that Vane goes over the wall is pretty standard when getting back-flopped near a low wall.

The cancel thing is odd though. At first I thought it probably does have something to do with "crossing the ringout threshold", but when taking a second look, Sarah cancels just as Vane's shoulders cross over the fence, but not even close to where VF5 considers a player to be "rung out". If the cancel does have something to do with the ring threshold, then it means the threshold has moved considerably.

Could also very well be a bug. Maybe pressing P during that flip will always cancel it.

 

New stuff from Ogi's channel, all VF5R version B of course.

Hassuru(KA) vs Wasakon(LA)
How much has throw damage been reduced (if at all)? It looks like Kage's back-turned throw isn't as much as it used to be (1:18 in match). This match is a nail biter...also that Lau has the most ridiculous customization (for a Lau) that I've seen in 5R.

Wasakon(LA) vs Dosanko(AK)
Nice wall combo by Lau at 1:15. Same round also I love how combo heavy the followups are to Akira's reverse body check compared to VF4/VF5.

Itazan(SH) vs Kamaage(AK)
Frame display is on this video. Another ridiculously close match also.

Mukki(AK) vs Kamaage(AK)
Mukki has roughly 15,000 matches on this data...so is that a new card for VF5R compared to his VF5 version D card? Or did Sega allow people to carry over match totals and the like?

 

Thanks for the matches, the Mukky match I almost got a heartattack from it was so tight, and Kamaage continues to show me his mad skills in the Itazan match, well done dammit well done!

 

VF5R allows you to carry over your match totals from VF5, so the 15K is probably the number of matches across both versions.

 

Same with item and rank or do those reset upon transfer? Also I assume you must keep the same character for the data to transfer over correct? Meaning no taking a match total and assigning it to Taka or Jean from VF5 version D. Sorry to hijack the thread but might as well get these out in the open.

 

The rank is reset, I don't know about the items, but don't hold your breath, and yes there are only same character transfers.

 

Items get carried over, but rank does not. Depending on your VF5 rank you get demoted to anywhere between 1st Dan and 5th Dan. IIRC all of the top players in the country went down to 5th, while everyone else was spread between 1st and 4th.

And match total only applies to the card you're using, and 1 card = 1 character, so you can't transfer that number to another character.

 

Akira vs El Blaze

I don't know why but I love the second part of Akira's intro thing where he jumps over that invisible (I guess) fence.

Anyaways, the El Blaze man has some weird backhand move with a backdash/crouch type looking properties thing. And the end kinda took me by suprise, wasn't expecting that at all, made me go "Oh Shit!" Probably old news but it was new to me.

 

Just a quick question, how much do the VF5R data cards cost? & can you only buy them in the arcades? as I've got a friend traveling to Japan tomorrow and I'm trying to get him to pick me up a few souvenirs

PS: I did ask for a R cabinet, but he cant fit that in his case

Thanks in advance
