Virtua Fighter 5: Final Showdown

Don't forget to watch what position the person is downed in. A lot of face down rising attacks can be sidestepped, although it's somewhat character dependent.

But if you end up sidestepping a rising attack you're guaranteed a combo for the most part.

Also, a rising attack on hit is only +2 or +3 it looks like. So they're hardly at any sort of real advantage. And since they removed delayed rising attacks from the game, you shouldn't really ever be counterhit by a rising attack, unless you're trying to crush it like Marginal said above.

Lei-Fei FTW!!!

God, he's a LOT more efficient.

Hit me up on PSN.

2p on block leaves the attacker at disadvantage. An elbow tends to shut that down from there.

Good to know that rule from VF4 still works. Elbows, knees or mid kicks (3Ks for several characters) still work too, no?

 

[Bushido]

when two moves hit at the same time, the move that does more damage always win, a 2P only does 9 damage, so yes, knees, and mid kicks will stuff 2P's if they collide on the same frame.

This is how you stuff wake up attacks too. using a stronger move that beats out the rising kicks.

Soul Calibur should adopt this priority system, IMO. Trading is dickheaded.
