Ps3 version here, funny that's the first thing i noticed while playing my first match, and I have never played vanilla so i can't compare it to that one.
Played in the grassland stage and yeah saw that weird effect.
I don't have any tech knowledge on the matter but i looked like some weird motion blur or something like that. It really leaves the impression of ghosting problems with the image. Weird

Thanks for impressions, I thought I was going crazy.

Somersault does retarded damage. Shit is half of a launcher combo by itself. Whenever someone landed it at NCR, my buddy would yell out reversal super.

And his sister's Sarah does half or less. Sexist.

Lion is the most annoying character ever, glad that no one plays him, haha. :*
Bought it right after they updated EU store lol
Such ana mazing netcode. It works great and plays great.
Except they should nerf Jacky...or remove him from game.
Also i was expecting a kumite/quest mode :/
There is none. Also i thought there will be some collectiable items besides DLC via quest mode boho.
Add me if u wanna play. GimmeCat is my Psn name.
My main is Kage.

Lion just has me scratching my head at the voice acting in this series. They've been using the same terrible lines FOREVER.

Didn't have luck of not playing against him. Due to his squat I always get the impression my high kicks will miss.

I don't want these lines gone, ever. Never "fix" them Sega! (We should be fine.)

Fuck Lion. I got knocked out of NCR by a Lion player after losing to Renzo :-(
YOU HOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUuuuuuuuuuu
I noticed the same thing the second I started playing. I haven't played vanilla in years, but I do remember it being very clean. I hope they can fix this in a patch.

Some things look and sound off. I think they compressed game to fit it in 2gb.

The... FIRST PLA----ERRRR
The "Round 1" announcer sounds a bit garbled on the PS3? Anyone else noticed that?
Danny Dudekisser
I paid good money for this Dynex!
Why would it affect the PS3 version, then? As far as I know, there's no file size limit there.
Unless it's a case of MS' supposed policy of "games can't look better on other systems" at work.
Or Sega being lazy.
Disappointing, in any case.

I just remembered something.
One guy had a mic and "played" Jacky. He wasn't really playing just waited when Jacky did that auto punch parry with fancy animation. Right then he shouted: HOKUTO!
Every time with punch parry. HOKUTO! He played just for that.
Some players are nutjobs.
Both consoles got the same version. Same file size.

LOL! Those are the kinds of matches where I wish replays (when available) saved voice chat too!

Really enjoying just messing with the tutorials, but the sheer amount of moves in this game is quite the mind fuck for my tiny 2D fightin' brain.
Currently trying to learn Eileen and failing miserably at it.

I'm loving this game more than anything I've put my hands on in over a decade. Right now I'm rocking Hollywood Wolf Hogan, The Brad Show, and Ken Kujo.
And I'm SO terribad, but I'm determined to learn this game.

Oh yes. One of the first matches I had I met a dude that I think won his fights by making opponents laugh and lose concentration. He wasn't any good at the game but man that chatter on the mic.
"Ohhh you like dis don't you? Huh? Huh? So this is how it is?! You giving me this? I show ya, I show ya, c'mon." etc.
But he was talking constantly, during moves, after KO. He wasn't really swearing but the way he was talking - like a whispering gangsta felt like he was true comedian. I laughed and barely hit the buttons.
Dude was gold.

This is truly a shame - not really, there's no other real reason to play unless you like practice. Sure, there's Score Attack and Special Sparring if you bought the item pack but uh...nah.
We're talkin bout PRACTICE.

LOL don't panic. Just remember that you don't have to use them all; experiment with a few basic ones, see how far they take you, and once you begin to run out of tools, try out a few more.
Eventually you build up your personal 'deck' of basic moves, even more so than a 2D fighter, and more so than some other 3D fighters.

*heavy sigh*
I feel like for the people who are basically new to the game (I've played VF before, but am essentially starting from zero again), we should share gamertags so we're not getting obliterated every time we go online.
Does that make any sense?
I haven't actually tried going online yet. I just assume I wouldn't have a chance.

If you aren't used to it, just play, don't look at the move list. Just jump in matches and get a feel for the flow and timing of the game. that way you won't get overwhelmed.
If the game itself is 1.9GB and the DLC is about 1.9 as well, then I don't think the game should be taking cuts in terms of textures or other areas.
The install size for the full game on 360 was 3.4GB. Certainly there's a little more here in some ways (two new fighters and probably a lot more items), but the game doesn't have all the features of its disc cousin (no quest mode and therefore none of the AI info that makes many of the quest "characters" distinctive, commentary). Anyhow, if they were truly scrimping for space, I would expect the game to clock in at about the same size as VF5 Online, if not a little smaller.
Pondering whether to get the outfit packs while they're discounted on PS+, but I'm a little disappointed that the game lacks Quest. I'll probably play a fair bit on PSN while the game is still buzzing and then maybe retreat back to VF5 Online for single-player...
On Xbox, I played with a headset for maybe 5 or 10 matches total. Ran into a Lei Fei player who was just yelling "hiiiya, yaaaa, hiiiiiya." into the mic. That was when I decided silent was better.

There is definitely some compression worked on ( I assume because of the 2GB limit) as the round counter is pixelated as fuck. But it's not gamebreaking, they can fix this with a patch.

Not really. Right now there are is a mass of noobies online. Of course some of them will probably leave but right now it's the best time to just jump in and have fun without getting owned.
I'm a noob myself but to who I lose is random. I had just 100 fights and the other guy had 3. Ha! Fresh pray! - I think and proceed to get beaten like a redhead stepchild.

Are we sure the compressed sounding round announcer isn't stylistic compared to VF5? Capcom keeps doing the same thing in their fighting game updates Every iteration adds a filter to make the announcer sound more electronic.

The announcer isn't the same as the VF5 Vanilla announcer, it is a stylistic change.

Didn't listen to the announcer really, but some of the voices in win quotes and some hit sfx caused to "?" materialize above my head MGS style.
I probably wouldn't notice anything if I didn't play so much of vanilla before to get ready.
Shame we can't choose arenas in ranked. Sometimes I keep getting the same 3 stages while others pop up rare. I want that one with wet surface when you kick up streams of water.
VF3 soundtrack FTW!

It's not just the announcer (but he probably is meant to sound like that) the fighters voices sound compressed too. As I hear the PS3 version is the same, I'll buy the 360 version then. (have spare points)

Thank god, too - it was Jacky's VA! :| Always weirded me out, same with SSF4 with Sagat being the announcer.
