Both.
It's hard to NOT recommend VF5 360 though at the price it's at now. Excellent game.

Lag has been iffy for me, couple decent sessions, but other than that I'm getting some input lag, and it's throwing off my execution a bit.

Faced off against a Jacky that was god-like. Mine ripped apart everyone expect this person called H A B I. My Jacky touched his like twice.

GGs AAK and Sayah. Sorry for spamming the same moves over and over again. I promise I'll learn more than 3 moves asap lol. Also lol at my self ring out from that Eileen throw, wish I saved the replay.
I need to get back and learn Jacky again. I had a blast with him in VF4. Plus my Wesker outfit is too badass for me not to use him no matter how much I'm liking Eileen.

Tbh it's worth owning every VF. They are making so many changes per character so eg. VF4Evo Jacky plays and moves completely different then VF4 Jacky.
Personally I'm really proud of my first edition vanilla VF4 for PS2.
Sega should release VF collection. Shame they are on brink of death.

Hell yeah man, VF4 vanilla! Good times building AIs with those.
I can go without another release of VF3TB. Sorry, Sega, I love you but...no...

I have a copy of every VF released starting with VF 1 Remix on the Saturn.

Watching the arcade vids of VF3 I noticed the real shit looked much better then what Genki ported to Dreamcast. I'd love arcade perfect port of VF3(not TB) just for the superior intro.
I'm pretty balls at this, went 1-9 on the way to that achievement for 10 ranked matches. Only maybe three of those were close, but it was fun still. Gonna fool around in the tutorials to reacquaint myself though... I owned VF4 on ps2, but the last one I really played was VF Kids on Saturn, heh.

I got the first ten matches online, won seven of them. Lost to a really good Vanessa. Fought a Kage who kept doing the somersault and didn't catch on when I just stepped back and punished him all the time.
I like that you don't have an exact win counter. Takes some of the prestige out of the matches so you can focus on having fun.

Was VFDC hacked?
Edit: NM, I think it's maintenance

What makes Akira so hard to play? Does he have a million different stances like Fei-Lei?
I'm really loving this game so far, having the old soundtracks available is great, though I can't see myself switching from the VF2 soundtrack. Already noticed a few new animations with Sarah from 360 VF5 to this version.
If any Australians pick the game up on PS3 I'm SnafflesChan on PSN. I already get the feeling its going to be really barren online though if the previous title is anything to go by.

Spent an hour or two in training with Vanessa and Sarah. Haven't really tried anyone else out but I'm really loving how those two feel (I don't really remember if I played Sarah in the older games).
He doesn't flow as well. His moves tend to be quick and sort of jerky. You have to be really used to him to play him well, and coming from another game or character where you are expecting moves to flow into each other easier, he can be quite a shock and lead people to thinking VF is slow, jerky and a bad game.
Lei Fei I think works well for a beginner, his moves flow together, going from stance to stance. You can get cool stuff without really trying, akira is the total opposite.

Akira is kinda game within a game.
But if you get in Akiception you'll feel like you achieved something keen to discovering new life in the universe.

Yeah, the announcer is definitely distorted. Should be patched.
I got the impression that the announcer is supposed to sound a bit distorted for nostalgic reasons. (360 here)
Pretty awesome stuff. Tuned in and Slash5150 isn't even there as he loses to whoever. Donate today!

It's intentional. Watch any footage of the arcade version.

Historically his execution barrier is a little higher than the others, also hit confirming elbow gives people difficulty.

Oh my.
Oh my.
I know they're supposed to at disadvantage on block, but by the time I register (and I do mean I, I'm not blaming the lag though it is there) the blocked 2p, they're at +1 and can run their ws/throw mix as if it hit.

Virtua Fighter likes having horrible sound effects on purpose. It's a thing, apparently. Don't try to understand it.

Well, I caved in and got Playstation Plus. Currently downloading this
Is this an accessible game for newcomers to the genre as a whole? I'd love to get into it and have some online GAF fights.

uh? what blur? the game (360) is razor sharp, probably full 1360*768p aa4x (I may be wrong, obviously)

I want to thank Brad and his P+K+G stance changes for my carpal tunnel lite. This game is fun. I should stop hitting the buttons so hard though.

Is Dural the first time playable in FS? I can't remember. Btw. VF3tb <3
Yes, ggs. I felt like I was doing the same stuff over and over again.
I am not quite sure what you are asking, but I am pretty sure you could play dural offline in vanilla VF5, and in the VF4 games as well.

so has it been confirmed if the individual character dlc packs also act as comptibility packs on xbox live? they are all the same size as the full packs
You mean during replays at the end of the round?
Because the game seems to me greatly improved over VF5: that looked terrible on PS3 and - even if noticeably better - still kinda blurry on 360... This new one looks stunning to me, in spite of some texture compression here and there.

My Taka at work.
Got to 3rd Dan in one night, and my win rate is a pretty god awful 55%... But that's about what I was at in the arcades after 3000 matches. 360 VF players are SERIOUS. I checked out the battle points/rank leader and it's Mukku, a Sega sponsored Taka player. There's at least 15 other names I noticed just by glancing the leaderboards.

No, it blurs character motions all the time. Compare regular vf5 and you'll see. VF5 vanila had better IQ. How it looked terrible? I bought both PS3 and 360 versions of vanilla and both looked equally good. 360 had antialiasing but looked softer then ps3 version and 360 had worse ground texture filtering.
There's definitely a blur visible during motion for me. It's subtle, but it's there. On 360 at least. I do believe that the game is ultimately running in a higher resolution than VF5, though.

loving the online mode. I'm glad my win/lose isn't staring at me for all eternity, though I'm glad there is incentive to winning beyond the win with randoms. Had one person ring himself out after only being beat in the first round. I guess he only wanted that rank match achievement.
Anyways.

thinking heavily on buying both bundles.

Equally good?
Dude, maybe my eyes just don't work well but... Japanese PS3 VF5 looks like a blurry mess on my full-HD (on both screen resolutions), whereas 360 version partially addressed the 'mess' but not quite the 'blurry'. Now I don't remember anything special about ground textures but I own both games and tonight - out of curiosity - I booted up 360 VF5 vanilla and then XBLA Final Showdown: in my opinion and to my eyes, FS showcases way better IQ in spite of some textures downgrade.
I'm anything like an expert, and I don't own hi-end video setups, so just take what I said as my genuine visual impressions.

Man, I can't play this game with a fucking controller, I need to get my arcade stick back.
Gotta put this on hold for a few days.
They changed Lei's PPP wtf, lol. The game is faster and has a weird flow now---I gotta get used to it. It looks more janky now. This will take a shitton of getting used to, I may just start up a new character cause Lei ain't feelin good right now (basing opinion on VF5 reg perceptions) and Sarah is.
