Virtua Fighter 5 Final Showdown

Lol man, I was JUST about to put Tekken in to continue my hardcore training for EVO, but then Falling Edge had to go and link me to this... God it looks so good.

 

Yes, exactly! Jacky's 6PK always knocks down, and will probably knock down regular players, but Taka DID NOT even go down. That is fucking NUTS lol. And then you had Wolf transitioning from RAW to throw, Goh going from 6K to low throw to his judo clutch... jesus CHRIST. and the shit with Akira starting with 66P+K!

 

I'm very curious about the exchange between Jacky and Sarah. If there are multiple examples of this in addition to the stun combos...FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUU

 

Since PP6PK is natural combo on Taka (yeah, seriously it is, although might be only on counterhit, Reno can probably clarify), maybe they've decided to make it not knock down on him any more.

 

I'm gonna guess that's Jacky's new Pak Sao or new animation for it? The punch parry.

 

That's crazy.

 

If it is hopefully it leaves you at decent advantage. I liked knockdown on pak sao.

 

All PPP series with Sarah, Jacky and Kage are guaranteed in P guaranteed situations. So yeah, stuff like Jacky's PP6PK and Sarah's PPPK are all guaranteed. I'm going to wager that to offset this they're going to probably make it not knock down on Taka, but also make it either a 0/0 frame situation or a slight disadvantage for Taka to even it out. But the fact that it doesn't knock down is HUGE, and probably applies so many other moves too.

 

Console this christmas or feb next year. You heard it here first. Pz

 

Funny if backflips didn't knock him down.

 

Personally I think leaving them standing with a massive advantage for Jacky would be more powerful, but it seems the pushback is quite large. Considering they made the pak sao automatic (you don't have to press anymore, it just happens) maybe they decided to nerf it while waving this big shiny apple aka cool as fuck animation in front of people to not make them notice.

 

It's fully auto now?

Never knew that.

 

Im hoping jacky's that hook, uppercut combo off the shuffle on Sarah replace the P+K since that backhand is used three difference times in VF. Damn.. I came on myself.

 

Now we wait for E3 or TGS 2010... funny I just got my E3 invite today... YAY me

 

Come on Sega, be nice and port this to consoles. That was one sexy trailer imo.

 

Oh God Dammit. I just shelled out $400 for a new Xbox 360 + VF5, $250 for parts to convert my VSHGs, and $2000 for a new HDTV. Now they announce a new version of VF5. My luck it will be exclusive to the PS3...

 

My reaction...



[insert obligatory console release comment]

 

Without a question, SEGA won't release VF5FS on console for a while after launch in Arcade in Japan, but I hope SEGA realize that it'll be pretty beneficial for them to release it on XBOX360 in the US market as soon as after the Arcade launch. Unlike in Japan, XBOX360 has been pretty successful in US and there's much more chance for VF5FS to sell a lot than in Japan. On top of that, there's no Arcade space in this country! They don't have to worry about the console version to kill the Arcade. SEGA, please bring the new VF5 to America!
