Ugh, I much prefer the JP cover. One word comes to mind, busy. Looks way too busy. Another word comes to mind, bad. Who drew El Blaze. He looks awful there. Then again, maybe I'm just prejudiced b/c I tend to view JP covers as better by default. PEACE.neojubei said:
Did Sega make a mistake and give the US a better cover?
Now will there be any pre-order bonuses for the NA version?

That's my fiancee get her ass handed by CPU Akira. XD That was in the Taito arcade in Akihabara. The VF5 cabinets are usually set up for 4 players each with an individual screen and a 5th cabinet that displays VF5 TV which you get your cards from.
If there's any place, it would be Golfland.

That's the slot where you put your character data card in. The illuminated part on the bottom is just a sign for it.

I own that adapter, the d-pad doesn't work. I tried and tried, doesn't work
I've ordered a pair of PS2-PS3 adapters from HK and i'm getting a pair of Elecoms comming from JPN (they are not here yet), I will post back when i get them.

An annoyingly good video feature there.
Still not 60fps though LOL
Also, PLEASE, has anyone worked out whether or not this PS2-Ps3 adapter works so that a (eg) VF4 PS2 stick can be used for VF5 PS3? Obviously a test with T5DR will suffice for the answer.

A roll you say? Is it "abusable" so that you can roll under certain moves and follow up with a small combo or grab? That's what I liked about the improved hit detection in DOA 4: you could roll right under kicks with Bayman and punish players with a grab.haunts said:
Never played a Virtua Fighter before, but I am interested in Goh, Lei-Fei, El-Blaze and to a lesser extent Aoi. First and last character especially because I heard they can counter moves, but I don't know if every character has defensive moves. Never fancied quick fighters nor ninja's, and I don't like the moves of the bigger wrestler players. Eileen is an exception though: she seems to be quite able tricking players with random stuff happening all of a sudden.

When I was using Jacky in VF5 (one of my mains as well from VF4:Evo), he had a counter that I don't remember him having in the previous VF games. I don't know if this is the same for all the other characters since it didn't seem like Kage had one when I used him afterwards, but I never really played long enough to explore his possible updated moveset.

Good question and I am guessing that is the idea behind it, to advance in for probably more of a throw rather than combo. I am guessing you can charge down back or whatever to start to process for his shoulder ram move when you come out of it? If you dont know, this move puts people into stun and you can follow up with combo and stuff. The thing is it looked like it had a slight delay at the end, so i am not sure how effective it is. This is ALL THEORY though, I am just guessing in that I didnt get to test it against top players or anything.
i am also thinking it may be used for more of a bait move.. Roll in from a distance, wait/block, counter?? Who knows...
If you are new to VF, I find just going into training mode w/ characters you are interested in helps a lot. just (try to :lol) do all the moves and you will find a character that you click with. I did that with Goh and just loved all the throw variations, the similiarty of makotos karakusa grab from 3s to his punch counter into grab.
Ideally I would want to play Akira but my execution sucks too much to be effective w/ him. he is so ****in nasty!!! I love his combos too.. they are so demoralizing imo..
Goh's roll is not particularly special, because there are no roll specific moves that come out of it. However, it's a fast way to advance, and of course it ducks highs and might go under some mids. Lei Fei, El Blaze, and Kage all have better rolls.
However, if you use Goh, roll forward and buffer a throw, if the opponent just stands blocking, you'll throw him instantly.
Akira's combos got much easier in 5, so you owe it to yourself to try it out.

Cool, so coming out of it is pretty quick then? It seemed like a slow-ish move, and he already has that B, DF + P move that advances him and also hits low, set up for shoulder charge etc etc. I just dont see myself using the new roll that much.
Gametrailers havea very good preview of the game.

How much easier? Like, the lance & SPOD can be performed by mere humans now? (I swear, I've been practicing that crap since 3tb and I can only pull it off occasionally in practice). Is his knee still a just frame? Never got why that was, aside from just proving how cool you are for being able to pull it off. Half the characters in the game have the same move just by doing fK or whatever.

Dragon Lance Combo has two inputs, one gets you more damage but is harder, the other one is much simpler but you get less damage. The knee is still a just frame.
Simply put, Akira is a character made for people who like crazy technical inputs. Akira's Knee can also net him hugggee damage, and it can hit people after they bounce off the wall and onto the ground. It's worth the effort.
Akira has a ton of new moves that are kind of easy to pull off, and they look cool too
until i have some PS3-owning friends to play this game with, i think i'm going to pass.
I respect what Sega is doing, and i even understand the "no-online" decision. But right now, i'm more interested in story-driven single-player experiences and online multiplayer. i don't think i can justify $60 for an offline fighter when there's so many other games i want coming a couple weeks later.

i was considering importing it, but they are only 12 days apart, i think I can live those 12 days in patience and just pick up the NA version at EB
For people having trouble finding Eleccoms adaptor, I can confirm this one works as well:

Otoh, if you can wait, it's probably much better to wait for Nyko's adaptor or similar product since they are a bit more flexible. (i.e. can use the peripherals for PS1/2 games).
