Virtua Fighter 5 Location Test in Japan Information and News

oh sweet! I'm so getting a PS3...well I'm getting one regardless even if VF5 wasn't on it.

Hmm, system seems strange. I'll come back tomoz for more reports on the game, keep on playing Shou yuh lucky git

Game is gonna get super technical now it seems with all these changes and what not. Sounds interesting.

 

throw take 11 frames to come out? am2 better give wolf more fancy throws... can anyone post some jp bbs links for vf5, thanks.

 

I stumbled across this while picking my way blindly through here.

Password is vf5.

Edit: Yep. They're clips.

 

Yeah, I think they might have exaggerated or changed the heights. Vanessa's the tallest girl, she should be only a couple of inches shorter than Wolf; a Jeff/Aoi matchup must look ridiculous.

 

Great news!
I glad they changed the time frame on throws.Can't wait for more vids too show up.

 

thank you, nobody. what the, aoi wear bikini in her 3rd custom? i better read that bbs again. I saw ppl say there will be armor breaking(kage) in the game! am i reading it wrong? that must be very cool to see.

 

lol yeah you didn't read it wrong.
From the bbs, it's stated that she's wearing a short haori which is a traditional Japanese coat for males.

The size/height difference between Wolf and Vanessa (with short hair?) is enormous.

When do you see Vanessa in those clips? I think that's Lion in the third one, it's hard to tell though. Whoever it is, you can see how much bigger Wolf looks comparetivly

 

Ah yes, I looked at it more closely, you're right its probably Vanessa in that vid. Her skin does look darker, and I forgot that you don't see Lion's usual mantis stance.

 

yeah, looks like Vanessa using low kick -> ++ (I've eaten that move enough times to know). I think the size difference is awesome, hope they keep that.

this game sounds really interesting, and I'm glad that losing Yu Suzuki hasn't made AM2 lazy in terms of re-thinking the game. I'm glad that it sounds more complex strategy-wise than VF4 at this point. Seems like they're encouraging more variety play-wise. Perhaps the new dodges can be used defensively as well? Maybe they'll avoid some levels of Attack/Throw?

Perhaps the thinking behind the slower Throw timing is to equalize it with the fastest Attacks: both P and Throw are now 11-12 frames, so Nitaku is more equal? Of course this depends on the timing for Crouch execution etc, but just guessing. If range is really shorter, VF3 style, that means in a lot of mC situations, Dash-Throw will be needed, which would be pretty slow. I hope they aren't trying to weaken Throw in general for VF, I don't wanna play Tekken. Maybe it could also have to do with the recovery for the new missed dodges?

I'm also interested in the new system mentioned at ign, where side and back hits now give specific stuns. Also seems from the pictures there that the new u/f d/f dodges are probably better than Lion/Shuns, if doing it after a Break Guard will put you easily to the side, if not behind the oppt.

the Japanese Kage page has a lot of info, and talks more about how hit type now leads to more variation. IE it says Akira's shoulder gives a Butt Stagger on normal hit (Goh) and floats on counter. Also that Wolf's Knee is bad on guard, giving a Butt Stagger on Counter. Also , I think Wolf has a new Hit Throw, "Burning Hammer" that's started with HCF++.

Says El Blaze can do Drop Kick, Sobat etc from his stance/behind the oppt, and that he fights like a Japanese Jr. Heavyweight. His throws are technical looking, like "Head Scissors", as well as a Crab Hold, which seems he can chain into Reverse Indian Death Lock or Scorpion Lock etc? (King). Looks like something shown in Arcadia which is a Sobat -> Spinning Head Kick is actually either a Throw or Hit Throw.

looking forward to more info (I also heard this game was PS3 only)

Regarding those clips:

You can see Aoi's mid-drift in the win pose. New item perhaps?

[/ QUOTE ]

Nope, 2P costume. Pai also bears midrift in 2P

 

What it actually says is something like:

" Aoi's new costume is a bikini and short traditional clothing resembling a haori. She's all open at the front(laugh). I wonder if the item name was OObikini or something."

Open for questioning. I'm not much of a 2channeler.
From what I could see it doesn't look like a jacket-type top like a haori, but more of a normal top with arms(enormous arms, to boot).

I also read something about all the girls having bellybutton-revealing costumes.

 

Looks like VF is going to look and feel more and more like a kung fu movie with those new side and back attack and defense additions.

 

A few things about Vanessa that I read in that thread(there were more, but I'll just do this now since I'm in the middle of homework):

*Possible to change stance before rounds starts
*More difficult to see if player is in offensive/defensive stance
*Probably same voice actress, but a little more cute way of talking

 

DO the animations reflect the change in heights?

 

Reno,Sudden_Death thank you very much for you reports !

1up.com has a video of the Xbox launch party. At the end the 1up guy states a rumor that VF5 is PS3 exclusive

[/ QUOTE ]I can not download the movie (due to connection problems), but i am very surprise! The 360 looks to be more like a PC and the Lindbergh to. And i have heard that PS3 is very hard for programing.
I hope that it' just a rumour....

Well...since it took the guys at Epic only a month or two to convert UnrealEngine 3 to the PS3 devkit, it can't be that difficult to program for. Neither the PS3 nor the X360 main processor is that similiar to a PC processor, and I think utilising it's power is what presents the biggest challenge to programmers.
