Virtua Fighter 5 Final Showdown

I'm done with Brad. Let me know how I can upload my spreadsheet. I think I'll do Jeffry too.

 

Shame. You're one of the ppl I need to play so I don't get bad habits. I'm noticing I have a few in Tekken right now.

 

How do the FS system-changes influence the basic defence techniques needed in the game?
-one escape only makes eteg/teg a lot simpler right?
-throw speed has changed? I reckon framadata has been altered all around to balance this for fuzzying and cd-fuzzy right?
-has the risk/reward game changed at all now throwclash is gone? is it riskier to attack from disadv or throw from adv?
-is it more interesting to use throws to punish now you have 33% chance instead of being able to input 3te's when your big disadvantage move has been blocked (like a lot of chars 33p_k launcher)

 

ETEG is almost entirely overshadowed by TEG now.

Unless you count that mad glitch where you can "Sort of" ETEG 2 directions.

 

Told you from day one.

 

Abareville? Awesome. Have some KNEE. "I've got the advantage. You've got nothing. Ha!"

 

Just because you have advantage doesn't mean you have to go for a throw or something that can be beat out by an 'abare' action.

 

They got rid of DMP+K so you won't be able to evade and attack at the same time. Most fighting games boil down to a simple 50/50 guess between attacking/defending or striking/throwing. Movement, fuzzy guarding and ETEG's are just added bonuses that VF is lucky to still maintain.

I'm a realist. If VF was owned by any other company it would have mad changes to appease the masses by now. I don't mean little changes like only one throw escape, I'm talking about all that crazy shit being talked about here:

Just to make sure that copies sold like Dragonball/Naruto hotcakes!

All of yall complaining should thank your lucky stars that VF is still even around in a market where flash and multiple-hit super combos are "the shit!".

Please, less complaining and more appreciation for the fact that VF is still around

 

Flash and multiple-hit combo and supers are the shit.

 

Well, I'm thinking I can go from +2 to +5 pretty fast with Akira. P (blocked) into DE (hit). Once I'm +5, the world is safely open to KNEE. Go ahead with a 12 frame punch. I've got an answer. It's not instant reaction-based, either. It's just hit-checking the elbow and knowing the opponent likes to attack their way out of disadvantage.

 

There's a greater risk when using launchers in those situations now though isn't there? Much higher damage for being countered during a big move in FS while there's regular ch damage for a small move?

 

If I know a person will normally attack from -5, I have very little risk using KNEE.

 

I mean risk for the person at disadvantage trying to anticipate a throw and launch. There's a larger damage modifier for being countered during a big move in FS isn't there?

 

It's the same as it is since FT. Anyway when you get Yoho'd and you realise your losing half bar you will wise up.

There is nothing in the VF engine that stopped you from attacking back apart from throw counterable situations. (Well because you can't attack..)

So abare play will be the same if not a little less because of the throw counterable situations which are back in.

 

serious?
