@āHeavenlyHalberdā#p134906 steam version to toss French bread a couple bucks and play single player, community edition for netplay with rollback. Also grab concerto for community edition, it's a playermade frontend for lobbies and stuff.
I started playing virtua fighter 5 ultimate showdown this weekend! ( @TheFragranceOfDarkCoffee up for a game if you donāt mind a little delay, appreciate the encouragement in the considering playing thread) I was originally disturbed by the connection quality until I realised lan cable isnāt just a plug and play affair and you need to manually select it on my ps4 now even one bar connections feel smooth.
I love this game. Even at my basic level I'm learning to connect moves to movement and create gameplans on the fly based on the opponents moves. For example with Pai I've worked out that back dash into 46P leaves you plus enough on hit to go into a kick with slower startup. I don't normally enjoy labbing in fighting games but it's very fun here trying to figure out which moves connect to which. When I worked out that Pai's 3PdelayK combos into PPP4K I felt like a genius.
I'm surprised how active ranked is on weekends, granted I did need to lab/read a book/play disgaea item world on switch between matches and sometimes you face the same opponent (which is a plus considering how important the player matchup is in this game). I found it easier to find games here than I do as a UK KOFXV enjoyer. I got such a kick out of playing, even low level matches require much more thinking than I'm used to in a fighting game and I'm all for it. This was a refreshing change of pace from SF6 and it's improved the way I play it.
I'm going to learn to play Eileen because monkey style is such a fun martial art!! The jumping face scratch command grab is just too funny. Just got to get used to canceling into 6P+K+G.
Now that I've got my PS4 set up I'm eager to play some KOF XIII today. I've been playing the pc version with a friend and I love how powerful fireballs are in this game compared to XV!!
@ānolimitsquestingā#p135231 Absolutely, letās play some VF5! Letās pick a day Loudly on the forum so anyone who wants to can hop in the lobby!
@āTheFragranceOfDarkCoffeeā#p135240 yes!! Digital local LET'S GO!!
I'd be down to clown in some VF5
@āpattheflipā#p135119 Rad, already had the Steam version, but will definitely seek out Community Edition and appreciate the concerto recommendation!
Alright VF players and the VF Curious: How do we feel about a Playstation Lobby on this Saturday, October 7th at 1PM Eastern Time.? Tagging @nolimitsquesting and @KingTubb who have expressed interest, but I encourage anyone else with a Playstation to join us!
If you're brand new to VF, don't worry it's only got three buttons. It'll be grand.
If you want to hear an elevator pitch for each of the various characters you can play, this video is quite good:

@āTheFragranceOfDarkCoffeeā#p135363 I'll be working but I like the idea!
Iād love to join but weāre attending a wedding this weekend. Next time!
Depending on how late yāall play, I could swing by! Otherwise, Iāll be tied up until the early evening (4:30-5:00ish)
@āTheFragranceOfDarkCoffeeā#p135363 thatās the perfect time for me but Iām going to be out on Saturday for my own birthday party (going to be 34 on monday :3 ). How does Sunday sound? Otherwise I can do the same time Saturday next week!
I was playing some games today with a friend who doesn't play fighting games much and we had such a blast! We went through some strings, stance cancels, lows, K+G moves and grabs and he had a strong Brad game plan in no time!! My friend struggles with motion inputs so he loved a game he could pick up and play proficiently in no time at all!
@ānolimitsquestingā#p135398 Sure, let's do Sunday, October 8th at 1PM Eastern Time, which sounds like it might work better for folks anyway.
@āTheFragranceOfDarkCoffeeā#p135410 heck yeah!! Appreciate it!

@āBbtombā#p134760 AKI is out for SF6 . . . . Curious to see how competitive players evaluate the character cuz she seems pretty strong!!
Okay so I guess no one agrees with me lmao. People have been trashing this character all week, citing her lack of wake-up options (particularly in the corner) and poor neutral.
They're not wrong, but I've also noticed many people totally neglect two really powerful abilities: in the corner, Drive Reversal; and in neutral, her stance. Players have already devised ways to beat most of her gimmicks, but I find incorporating these options into my game has made my defense a little less hopeless and my offense _way_ scarier. Nine times outta ten my opponents try to grab me out of Drive Reversal and get knocked back to full screen, at which range AKI can easily mount an offense.
I think to end the AKI slander I will simply train sixteen hours a day and win a major
Very excited about playing some Virtua fighter today!!
Yesterday I went to Heart of gaming, a freeplay arcade just outside of London with some friends and had a great time playing Marvel Vs Capcom 2, Street Fighter Alpha 2, Third Strike, Street Fighter 6 and Tekken 3. I never really took the time to play MVC2 in it's day so I never understood the hype, until now! Had a great time with the chaos of multiple assists and the frenzied neutral. I am now a true believer.
