Dear Lord, Vane's new throw off that ground stance.

Dear Lord.

 

dear vf, please stick with 1 set of mechanics... gah i have to relearn another fighting game

 

HYPE!

 

SSSPLOOOOGE!!! Damn, I just busted a bucket load of man-jam.
I may have impregnated this thread *rim shot*
Bazinga!

That's one of the things that separates VF from all other fighting games out there, all those other fighting games who stray too far from the original formula receive flack and eventually go backwards... but not VF!
Every version of the game does it's own fucking thing regardless of whether we like it or not. VF's the original rebel of fighting games.
Gotta love it! <3

 

Some gameplay details I noticed for Taka:

During Eileen's segment, Eileen hit d/f+PP but it didn't knock Taka down like it does in 5R. Her new triple sweep also doesn't knock

During Taka's segment, he uses a new launcher on El Blaze, combo into d/b+PP, into a new string from f+K

General gameplay details:
You have sweat/explosion effects on major counterhit, it seems.

I also noticed that the narrow stages have been widened a touch from what I can see.

The blog entry on sega's site says that the game isn't finished, so everything is still a work in progress.

 

Looks like the return of stop hit animations as well (see El Blaze being blocked low by Taka). It also looks like Taka's sweet falling animation has been spread to the rest of the cast for non-launch knockdowns.

 

Game looks great, but I definitely preferred the stages in R so far.

 

*faints*

 

The trailer looks AWESOME.

 

Nice! Did you see my boy Jeffry lay the beat down on pretty boy Jean?

I'm liking the new move animations but the best stages seem to be Brad's and Pai's. Love Brad's since the glowing floor panels reminds me of something in the early VF1 Sarah Stage and Pai's has rolling fields of grass in the background. Very bad ass trailer. Wonder if that means we're getting a new soundtrack as well?

 

New stuff: Costume S.

 

<span style="font-size: 26pt"><span style="font-family: 'Arial Black'">OH HELL YES!</span></span>

 

Definitely a new soundtrack... at the beginning with Wolf and Akira, the track for that stage was totally different.

 

I never cared much for Eileen until now.

Oh yeah, trailer was awesome.

 

If this doesn't come to console etc... I don't know if I can take it. Total life tilt. I might actually need therapy no joke.

 

Dragon lance has a new third hit followup option? Akira can go Teirou kanpo after +? Theres a good few of changed animations it seems with changed effects too.
That 'chicken' might be a wolf kickreversal exclusive.. You could escape that one Vanessa reversal once too.

Im not sure Ill like those hit sound effects though..
Doesnt sound so good combined with the 'plasticky' look of the characters. I didnt like the sounds when they first introduced them.

 

First one didn't look like DLC, first hit is his 2k

EDIT: not 1k lo'

 

I looked more carefully, there seems to be two different strings. After RBC its the 2K (1K still is his old crouching one I hope) after 43P8 and sidehit SDE its what looks like DLC.

 

I hope that second one isn't DLC, animation has changed way to much First hit of it looks like his 3k fro R.
