Greetings fighters, last week @TheFragranceOfDarkCoffee organised a Virtua Fighter lobby in the fighting game thread and it was a lot of fun! This is very last minute but better late than never!
Fragrance suggested making a thread and doing this more regularly so I want to open a lobby this Sunday, October 15th at 1PM Eastern Time (aka 6pm British Summer time) and try my best (schedule permitting) to make this a weekly or at least bi-weekly thing.
We are playing Virtua 5 Ultimate Showdown (aka: Virtua fighter 5 esports) on the Playstation Network.
Anyone want to play?
Open to any skill level, I’m just starting to learn my character but this is the kind of game where anyone at any level can have a close game as long as you know how to block, evade and grab. So whether you have mastered the frame data or you’ve just downloaded the game come on down!
Just as a note: I’ve introduced 3 friends to this game in the last couple of weeks, 2 of whom struggle with fighting games and one who actively disliked them and we had a great time, so don’t be afraid to try it out if you aren’t much of a fighting gamer. No meter, no projectiles, just good old fashioned martial arts!
How are people feeling about playing today? I‘m actually out at the moment but I’m thinking of opening a room at 2PM Eastern Time (aka 7pm British Summer time)
My PS4 is kinda in limbo so I don‘t want to commit and then flake out, but I still wanted to pipe up and say this does sound like fun. I’m a massive-passive fan of the series (played a ton of 1, 2, and 4 … but don't play competitively).
@KingTubb@TheFragranceOfDarkCoffee great!! I think I might aim for Sunday, October 29th at 2PM Eastern Time (aka 7pm British Summer time) this week if that's ok? Subject to change though, let me know!
@sosadillatron My ps4 was also in limbo so I know where you‘re coming from, I’ve been there! You're welcome to join us if you can make it but no pressure!
I decided this year I’ll get into fighting games through Virtua Fighter, mostly because of the RGG connection. I’ll probably get Revo later today and try it out, most of my experience is just playing KOF in rundown arcades, so this will definitely be a journey.
