Virginia/Maryland/DC NEW THREAD!!!

Sure, just get me the details. I have a friend who might be interested as well...

 

Sorry I couldn't make it, maybe tonight?

 

That's cool. It would be good if you would register on the soul calibur forums but otherwise you can just contact me via aim. We'll be having a gathering in roughly two weeks. I will be back in noVA in less than a week though.

 

just wanna say, thanx for those who made it to my house for our session friday night! good games to everyone! =)

chris and geoffry: learn the basic defense mechanics (fuzzy guarding) and evading tactics (offensive and defensive), and i swear you guys will be solid.

dan: YOUR LEI-FEI SUCKS!!! >=O hahahaha! im just kidding. you play extremely well! i think one area you can improve on is breaking grabs.

david: you're a very strong and smart player. i tend to think that you play better on pad rather than stick...but im not sure. dont worry, one day you'll have dan's number. =) only through experience will you get better.

thank you everyone! i will try to have these gatherings atleast once a week. hopefully more people will come next time. ill keep everyone posted.

peace
FLASH

Yo Eddel, I'm still up for today if you still wanna do some VF5. I get out around 5 today.

 

Im still up for it too...

 

I don't feel like trolling the forums for this info so i need to know some things:

Biggest Differences between VF5 - VF4:Evo such as: Weight classes, diagonal dashing, any specific gameplay changes, Counter Hits, Stun recovery etc.

Character Specific Strat: Sarah i would say. I got a huge rundown from danny over lunch but I need specifics. Frame references please.

Also I watch the finals matches from your NJ battles, Flash. Here is what i saw given my knowledge of fighting games and what i can read from first impressions:

Against LinkRKC, Danny has a tendency to freeze out and not take advantage of certain things. This could be attributed by two things: 1) inexperience of fighting against sarah; 2) trying to beat out that special mid kick out of flamingo. Sarah is limited in the amount of abuse potential with her moves even though her kicks and parries out of flamingo and instep are pretty gay. Danny said that he had a problem with the spacing between Lau and Sarah, but i think the spacing was fine and no one was extraordinarily turtling and trying to bait a whiff. It was mainly trying to beat out the special mid and the fact that it was bulldogging that screwed up his gauge of capitalizing on the moment.

My comments for you are very similar yet i dont think you watched as much. You played your game and was good. Refer to rodney's comments.

 

Also I have no idea why he used lau instead of lei fei and goh against Link.

Did you use wolf the entire time? What about Afrika Bambaataa Jeffery? that guy is crucial.

 

just got done playing with chris, geoffrey, manny, and ek. and i must say that ek is a very natural player. he can do all of akira's moves with relative ease, and when i was showing him combo's, he had little difficulty executing them. im sure with a little bit more experience and knowledge of game, he'll be REALLY good...just as he is in 3rd strike. i guess that's why they call him the "prodigy" huh? i saw improvements to both chris and geoffrey. for chris, his offense has improved. he's got that rushdown style, but uses it effectively. he actually played very well against everyone tonite. he even gave my wolf some trouble in some situations. on the other hand, geoffrey's defense has improved. he's evading more, and he's using goh's ability to poke to make his advancements. i remember him doing a combo on manny, and it made everyone go "WHOA!!!" and who can forget about manny? if he kNEW jacky's advanced combos and setups, he would be VERY hard to beat...not to mention he is already a decent player. overall, everyone did great!

I AM HOSTING ANOTHER SESSION THIS SATURDAY (MAY 5TH) AT MY HOUSE @ 8:00PM!!! PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF YOU CAN MAKE IT. I WILL HAVE 2 TVS SET UP JUST LIKE LAST FRIDAY'S SESSION! HOLLA AT ME! IF WE KEEP THIS UP, WE WILL HAVE A PRETTY GOOD HEAD COUNT.


Nick,

AS FAR AS GAMEPLAY CHANGES, I DONT WANNA SIT HERE AND TYPE A LONG ASS ESSAY FOR YOU!!! >=O INSTEAD, I WANT YOU TO LEARN VISUALLY AND WATCH THE FOLLOWING DEMONSTRATION PROVIDED BY SRIDER OF VIRTUAFIGHTER.COM. THE FOLLOWING SITE HAS 6 VIDEOS CONTAINING THE KEY NEW ELEMENTS OF VF5.

http://www.gamevideos.com/video/channel/VF5%20Mycheats%20Guide

the weight factor is still the same. the ladies tend to float longer, while the big bitches like wolf and jeffry float the shortest. you get the picture. some characters, however, have special weight properties which i will explain to you when i see you. also, we'll talk about frame data as we play. my knowledge of frame data is to a minimum at the moment, and i am still reading about it. i just know enough to get me by...

as far as linkrkc goes...the reason i had a hard time was because that was the first time i've encountered a sarah player. in addition, i didnt know the properties of her kicks in flamingo stance which rodney pointed out. and yes, i did use wolf throughout the tourney. i really like him in this version, so i changed my main from akira to wolf.

hope to you see soon man...

peace
FLASH

 

I think the only reason Daniel freezed up was because he wasn't used to be rushdown when he's using lau.

I played a Sarah at the C3 tourney last weekend. I just tried spacing Sarah out and worked from there. No need to get in her face. That's what probably won me the match.

 

Sup guys.

Really fun learning VF5 with you guys, hope to get some games in later! I'mma rush yo ass down(As soon as I learn how to)

 

Yo, I am gunna be out of town (most likely) this weekend to go watch the ADCC combat challenge in New Jersey.
