Virtua Fighter 5 Final Showdown

Throw counterable in VF4 was at -8 and worse as throws were 8 frames. At -8 a throw attempt was the only thing guaranteed. In FS I assume these situations have returned since once again throws are the fastest form of punishment rather than jabs. At -10 they can't hit you (ex Vanessa) but can throw you and you can't attack.

Jide the large CH modifier was 1.6 in the VF4 games wasn't it? Now it's 1.75 against launchers.

 

Those terms... they could be used interchangeably

 

another mystery solved

 

Well...not really, Plague. There's a small window where Throw Counterable is unique. However, as the disadvantage increases, you enter into situations where Punch Counterable become appropriate, and so on and so forth (Knee Counterable, etc). Those are also Throw Guaranteed situations.

I think Throw Counterable is a reference to the disadvantaged situation where a Throw is your fastest and only option of retaliation, but a punch is not guaranteed.

 

Canadian logic.

 

Yeah I'm sure I picked up the term throw counterable from one of the many faq's I use to read about VF4.

 

So any news from TGS?

 

nope.

 

I'm off then. Logging out and retiring. I'll be back if FS comes out, but if not... c'est la vie, que sera sera...

 

I think it's too early in the lifecycle for them to annnounce the arcade. What's the next major Japan show after TGS? That's when I think an announce would come if it's happening by the latest.

 

Seriously Sega, just hold a (major) conference, and spill the beans on FS then... No need to wait ('cause they're not taking any advantage of these past conferences/conventions) any longer. Just say its in the thought process of development at least.

 

If it does come to consoles I don't think they'll give us Ver. A anyway.

 

We got ver. C of VF5. What ver. were VF4, VF4Evo and VF3 in when they were released for consoles?

 

6 months later

 

I don't even know what to think anymore.

*goes back to playing Karnov*

 

The important think to look at is the timing between an arcade version and the console counterpart. If you check the history of releases, there is a distinct window. After that window passes, its very unlikely that the game will be made for console. If the game were 6 - 10 months away right now, you would know about it guaranteed.
I'm not sure this is the case for xbl games though. I'm only speaking about physical copies.

 

We also got Version B for the PS3 first didn't we? Then came Version C for the Xbox 360.

 

Yup ver B for PS3 and no online!!!
