the crouching shoulder push (hold down; df+P+K I think) has been good to me for such things. and I've had some success jumping in with P when I know a low attack is coming.

Was surprised that they gave something like this to Brad, or at least don't remember a similar option in "vanilla VF5" (other than having him shirtless). Looks quite... detailed while animated/during fights.
Well worth the extra $5!

I think I must work on my evades. I never was so great with them in the previous VF, but at least I didn't have too much trouble pulling them off. Last night I got murdered by a few opponents spamming fast punches, I knew that a simple dodge could punish them but I failed most of them.
Two small questions about Eileen :
- since VF5 I've been using her "b +PKG" move, that makes her step back and can cancel an opponent move, but I never know what to do if it ever happens since he's usually too far away for a fast counter-attack. So it just looks cool (that's why I've been using it), but it's rather pointless for me. Any advice ?
- IIRC she had a nice kick attack, "b,f+K", that had canceling properties (sabaki ?) too. That move is gone now, is there a similar one in her new move list ?

Thanks Sega!
Overall , the achievements are so..simple. While in some way I don't mind in others it doesn't make sense why made them so simple. Is like they put them because is mandatory or something. They only missed giving one for pressing start.
I mean, 60-points (360) for fighting Dural on Arcade? 40-for doing one perfect round.
But no biggie, then again if they made them more difficult I'll be whining about that. But if anything...would've liked..more "easy achievements" (like 3-5 perfect matches -not rounds-) than the few and simple ones they put.

Seems dodges are nerfed compared to vanilla. They don't seem that useful and have they taken out the universal dodge attack?

Yeah it shouldn't have been too hard to make a few slightly more challenging ones. It could have given more reasons to play the single player modes. Things like beat Dural, win a match with only ring-outs or perfects, complete a command training... Those would still have been easy achievements, but you would have to deliberately go for them.

It's up or down + guard, right ?
It's just tap up or down. Also the evade P+K (universal dodge attack) move is gone.
Hamaotsu Cup is still going on too.

Can someone help me out with frame advantages? I was messing around in the free command dojo earlier and was wondering, when an opponent is blocking a barrage of crouching punches which are 12 frames each with -5 advantage when blocked, does that mean the opponent can do any mid or low move with a 16 frame execution or lower and get a guaranteed hit?
Edit: Tested my scenario out with a recorded command and yes, any 16 frame mid or low is a guaranteed hit as long as you do it right after you block the crouching punch.

Why do you need a useless incentive to do those things? Even though you get a pop up, it's the same thing as writing it down on a piece of paper.
You'd think that people would want to play the single-player modes because they wanted to and not because an achievement told them. But here we are, in this generation.

Achievements and on disc DLC are the worst things created this gen.
TheSpoiler
Member
For me, they are the worst things this gen because of all that lost potential. Achievements should have been used for something, and DLC shouldn't be about selling cut content.
Anyway, lol at people complaining about the achievements in one of the most technical fighters ever created. Fluff isn't what VF is about.

you can use trophies/achievements to point players into the right direction. make them learn new techniques, explore the game further etc.
i think sega dropped the ball with this short trophy list and the sound compression. happy with the game overall, but these are my biggest complaints thus far.
Aren't they limited because this is an Arcade game?

Started playing VF for my first time, like four days ago now that FS is out (well, outside of mashing in some demos that I tried before getting into fighting games). I love this game. Playing Eileen and she feels freaking amazing, she's like the perfect fit for me. Yesterday, I started to get a bit of a hang on sidestepping, and being able to sidestep and punish with a high damage combo feels so rewarding.
EDIT: Oh sorry, about the distance thing. Yeah they can get quite far away. If you get enough of a frame advantage, you can get them with something like 46P, which can lead into a combo.
I've been thinking about that a bit. What frame advantage you are after it seems to depend on when during 4P+K+G you connect it (I think?), so if you get enough of an advantage I believe that you should be able to do 9K into some nasty stuff. But I think that no matter what frame advantage you get, you always get enough to do 5P, and if you're far away, 6[hold]P. But yeah, I'm really new to the game, so I want to throw that out there again, as I might be spreading misinformation.

I paid good money for this Dynex!
Presumably, it's because of the file size limit and Microsoft's policy of not letting a company put out a superior version of a game on the PS3, basically.
Which is why VF5 seriously needs a PC version that isn't saddled with MS' bullshit. Oh well. Enjoying the game (on PS3) regardless.

Got all the way up to Barbarian rank today but got demoted quickly due to shitty play on my part.
Shit, I didn't know you could drop rank?
I just got up to Hunter Rank today. Was pretty pleased with myself considering I'm pretty average at VF.
I played about 20 or so ranked matches today and lost to only 2 good players. Seems like almost everybody I play in ranked is a button masher and it's so easy to punish these guys and I'm not even all that good.
Actually, I think their strategy is sound this time. The game isn't that popular overseas, and an effective way to get casual players to buy the game is to put in easy achievements.
Only if they're $20 or above. $15 and under games don't get platinum.
And frankly: HarrisonFordWhoGivesAShit.gif about the achievements. At least they aren't fucking stupid "win 10 rounds in a row!" or trial bullshit like Capcom and other 2D fighters lists are.

lolz this is my first VF ever so its going to be pretty fray! (I havent even completed the tutorial yet)
Where you from buddy?

Or you could use the in-game tutorial to do that, which mostly does. Without context, it doesn't help the gamer that much.
"Hit them with a 20 hit combo!" doesn't matter much when you don't explain how to do it. You are just telling them to preform something. Trophies really aren't there to guide and help a player to grow.

I went back to trying to learn Akira last night because I didn't quite like Jacky and I'm actually starting to get the hang of some of his moves. In fact, I played until almost 4AM and finally went to bed when I noticed myself fall asleep on top of my arcade stick, haha. I'm really glad though because there's something very satisfying when Akira's moves hit that Jacky just doesn't have.
Regarding Akira, what's a good follow-up to 46P? I'm loving that 6G+P+K guard breaks and leaves me at +15 which means I can get a guaranteed 46P in there but I can't figure out any good follow-ups for when I get that. I'm doing 66KK but I'm sure that's not the best I could get off of that. Excuse the newb-ness.
Edit: Input typo.

Goddamn all these Jackys are annoying.
I find myself going for this. Wonder why they're gone.
I'm having a hard time trying to punish people mashing P with throws. I'm playing as Goh and it seems like a silly thing to not be able to throw people properly if I'm going to continue with him.

99% of them just use highs and "lows". Just crush them accordingly.
They were too much reward for the risk you took.

The good Lions I've played are relentless. He's got huge combos and I get nailed as I get up and they start a combo chain again. And his up+p attack on downed opponents is fast.
