Best Fighting Game Except Soul Calibur

[Sxton_Hrdcastle]

Virtua Fighter 5 without question. That game is all kinds of awesome and it's coolness is only second to its kickassness in my opinion. Except Dural she is pure BS on all levels of gaming lol. I used to main Kage, however I have switched over to Goh Hinogami.

SNIP.

I appreciate the response LP, definitely learned something from it. Now I get why people bitched about rufus, and now yun and yang.

So since some of you are passionate about this game which I fail to get.

What's the story on virtua fighter really? Only reason I got into in tekken was because I finally stopped being ignorant and educated myself about the game, which made me appreciate it.

I really don't like the look of vitua fighter, but I knowledge brings new prospectives. So can anyone enlight me?

rofl project justice was soooooooo bad.

how about fighting vipers?!?!?!?!?!?

and since this is a calibur site, how about a shoutout to the game that namco shamelessly ripped the entire calibur cast and moves list from?

LP, you just nailed the EXACT reason why i quit playing MvC3 after 3 days. i remember when all of my friends were hype to play tekken and calibur, and how many great times we had playing them for hours on end, like every day. then, one day, i started looking shit up online, going to lacal tournaments, and learning frames.

within 6 months none of my friends would play me anymore. they would even stop playing when i showed up. :(

after MvC3 came out some of my friends came over and we had a blast scrub mashing in it. i realized that if i learn the game they will no longer have fun playing me and i will be trading real face to face gaming time with my friends for frustrating, laggy, nerd time with my internet friends, and i am not willing to make that trade.

Couldn't you just use different characters when playing your friends?

In SC4, my level on Ivy is completely on its own than with any other character - I'm scrubby with Kilik. :p

Basically, VF4-5 is extremely well designed, and ended up pretty much exactly as the developers had intended. There are solid and consistent defensive option selects in place to help against what would otherwise be heavily stacked throw/mid mixups, but there are also clear and intuitive counters to those to keep the offensive advantage strong. Characters have their own individuality in terms of gameplay, but the tiers are tighter than the vast majority of FGs. Once you understand the inner workings of the game, then watching matches of it is 100 times more enjoyable. There's a lot to explain though, so if you really want to learn more, buy the game (It's bloody cheap) and look around virtuafighter.com
