edit Who is that lionmane-y bro in the GG trailer?

So Aris is playing Ultra online right now. And a little while back he said Ultra is actually better than Tag 2. And now he's supposed to commentate a match tonight. What?

The overall job, (excluding bug issues) they did with the USF4 re-balance, both in terms of evening out characters and altering gameplay to make the neutral game matter again, is something that Combofiend and all those guys can be incredibly proud of. Yeah, E.Ryu didn't need +50 health and Yun didn't need the +1 rush punch, but they're the mildest top tier characters (relative to the rest of the cast) I can recall in a fighting game.

VF's Akira is playable in that Fighting Climax game, lol. Time to for VF fans to embrace anime.

I'm an anime player, and that game looked too anime for me until Akira tugged at my VF-nostalgic heartstrings. Might as well go back to playing Final Showdown though if I want that fix.

Actually... I want that fix. Where's oneida?

so now its vectoring? i go to this thread to escape physics and it still drags me back to the grimy depths

lol I'm interested on how vectoring turns out. On the bright side, this makes things more intuitive for new players instead of telling people to DI perpendicular for survival DI and knowing how to escape combos. On the other hand, I know people are hoping vectoring isn't too potent on escaping things too easily.

lol it's looking like most everyone is going to end up having a pocket Ephelt at this rate

But mine will be the best

Chibita. god, just look at that movement. so crazy.

Anyway, my XBL is expired and I have a tournament (yes, a VF tournament) this Saturday. I'll renew next week.

ps. you guys should watch the tournament, I'm doing commentary for VF top 8 along with Harpooner from NYC VF. I'll post the stream link when I know what it is. It's gonna be more low key than NYG9 but we've got some good Buffalo players and there's a few players coming from Toronto and a few coming from NYC.

Elphet is like B.B. Hood + Snake in Smash + Sion/Eltnum. You bet your ass she's going to be popular. She also gets her P. Diddy on and smashes champagne bottles over heads/pops bottles on dudes.

wtf did I just read o_O

So am I understanding this correctly?
-In previous smash games you had DI when you got hit where you could hold a direction that influenced to some extent the angle you were hit away from your opponent.
-In the new smash, you can hold directions to influence how you move when you're hit by the opponent but you can move in any direction (move closer to your opponent, further away, etc., in addition to altering the angle)

Exactly.

Be careful about that, they might buff her the same way they did Sol and make her look like a SF4 character. D:

Is everyone going to want a pocket Ephelt, or Ephelt in their pocket?

You think this is bad, you should hear VOOT or Gundam EXVS players talk about this stuff. Vectors all over your face.

I've watched this GIF about 20 times and I still have no idea exactly what he's doing. He basically looks like he's just K-stepping all over Akira's face. While the movement in 3tb looks more fun, I think I appreciate the changes in 4 and 5 because it fixed a lot of the inconsistencies that 3 had with regards to collision detection and tracking. Never mind what the uneven terrain did to collision detection! You can have some dumb shit happen still.. but at least you can easily figure out why it happened.

Cool, let me add you, get back into the swing of things, and play you once you're Gold.

Honestly, I'm tempted to drive down to your tournament and see what's up, but work has got me in its clutches this weekend. -_- But yeah, I'll watch the stream archives Saturday night!

Keep in mind that Akira is techrolling, so there's another variable here. But basically Chibita's using Lion's 7E which is basically a funny looking swoop of a sidestep. He then does another sidestep, and runs forward to get to Akira's back, which causes his rising attack to completely whiff leaving him open to punishment that will leave him backturned.

Yeah, VF3 movement is fucking nuts. But god I love it

Good to know. That poster needs to learn about brevity though- dude did the equivalent of writing 10,000 words on how to make a peanut butter sandwich when "put peanut butter in between bread" would've worked.

Yeah. I think the graph was a godsend to be honest lol

You don't influence the trajectory, but the Knockback.

Basically, to escape Mario's Up Tilt combos you hold Up instead of away, like you would have in the past.

Just do it! That's what sick days are for and offline VF is pure ambrosia.

Trust me, if I could, I would, but I'm picking up shifts for someone else already, and my store would collapse if understaffed this weekend.

On the up-side, extra hours will convert to extra-good times at NEC come December.
