Amazing that of all the games to hear some dude raging at me and huffing and puffing and calling me all sorts of kinds of homosexual, it's VF. I'll be glad when these shitheads are gone from the game in a week.

Doubtful. I'd start playing online again if it was true though.

Spoiler

Hate the FGC. Hate. HATE. HATE.

 

[hikarutilmitt]

Also, unless one was already setup, I made a PSN chat for easier matching with people online who may not be on everyone's friend list. Hopefully we can spread this around.

 

[Snapshot King]

Any rooms going on right now? If not I'm down for making one.

 

[Snapshot King]

Coming from a 2D FG background... how do you memorize a whole moveset? @___@
I wanna Learn Goh (Or Brad) but damn i cant even remember half the moves.

Everytime you turn on your system, go through command trials once, then go online. It'll take a while but they'll all slide into place.

EDIT: Whoops sorry bout the double post.

We have one

Toss me an invite!

Tossing!

Finally, jeez that took forever.

Brad Show seems to be button mashy, at least in Arcade. Only got taken out when the AI finally caught on and punished my relentless PPPPPPPPPPPP PKPPPPKPPPPKPPPPK onslaught with punishes from frame advantages.

Think I'm going to stick with Vanessa though.

Eh like most 3D games, usually bloated with a lot of moves, but only some are truly effective.

Command training mode helps out a lot. You basically just go over each command in quick succesion. I wish Namco fighters would freaking implement this already.

 

[galvatron]

Broke down and double dipped.

Psn: doc-wily

 

[hikarutilmitt]

Sorry I split like that. I realized how late it was not long after we started and I set a hard stop for myself at 11pm.

You on right now? Ill toss you a room invite.

Still downloading the complete edition...I don't think my ps3 has even gotten up to downloading the game yet.

 

[RoryDropkick]

I finally won a match!

Well no shit, you're way better than you were yesterday.

Can I get an invite?

Thanks~

I'll take that as a compliment *lol*

Butthurt online warriors != the FGC. Don't get it twisted.

I'd like an invite too:

This game has already surpassed it's sales target in Japan, in only one week.

One week following its release, and the home conversion of Virtua Fighter 5 Final Showdown has already crossed its sales targets for the Japanese market. The game's port team announced the early success via Twitter today

The notice concerns just Japan. There's no mention about the game's success in international markets.

That's pretty cool. Hopefully that means more VF in the future, hopefully with some character endings this time.

Well, guess I can stop worrying about PSRental Service eating sales then.

Spoiler

No I can't. Will wait until we see Sega is happy with US/EU port sales.

 

[Morris]

Man, Tre` is too good!

 

[Grifter]

anyone playing on 360?

Your paranoia over this honestly ridiculous. The game received a huge advertising push as a result of this promotion and you have an article right there saying it exceeded sales expectations. But of course, somehow the future of VF is threatened by it being a marquee title in a new push of a gigantic Sony initiative rejuvanated during the middle of E3.

EDIT: Christ Tekno you're fierce. Good games man.

 

[Teknopathetic]

Not fierce enough for Haunts or Akuma001, they bodied me free the other day.

GGs

 

[Riposte]

Which platform has more players? PS3 or 360?

 

[Seraphis Cain]

Which platform has more players? PS3 or 360?

Probably PS3, just by virtue of the game being free via Playstation Plus (or PSRental Service as TheSeks stubbornly likes to call it ).

 

[SousedLouse]

Snapshot King, are there any slots left in the room? If so, could you send me an invite, please?

PSN: SousedLouse

 

[MightyKAC]

Same here, would love to get an invite.

My execution on the 2p side is atrocious.

Never had trouble doing QC motions until now.

EDIT: License challenge 8 was fun. Wish Eileen could do that normally.

 

[Morris]

GGs all. That was fun.

Still have to actually learn my movelist. Still have no clue how to really play Eileen.

 

[Teknopathetic]

GGs to the usual PSN crew. Floyd, Seph, Edgeward.

 

[Edgeward]

GGs. Still learning and figuring out what moves are useful for Wolf and finding a reliable launcher. Also getting those crouch throws down. ugh.

Still adjusting to needing to do the tap plus the button instead of just holding it in one direction and expecting to get the command move anyway.

 

[Freshmaker]

Probably PS3, just by virtue of the game being free via Playstation Plus (or PSRental Service as TheSeks stubbornly likes to call it ).

I'd guess 360 since most VF players went for the 360 version of VF5 way back when.

 

[fernoca]

Well, the PS3 leaderboards were around 35k yesterday vs. 8k on Xbox 360.
Whether that translate into actual players, who knows.
And most of the created rooms in this thread are on PS3.

I have it on 360 and have no problems joining random/ranked/player matches.

This, and also, although I know this is no real metric to go by, the GameFAQs forum for the PS3 version has 25 pages, as opposed to 7 for the 360. So at least, there's a lot more discussion on the PS3 boards.

 

[Sloosha]

Seems like everyone is in ranked. Hard to find player matches today.

 

[Koralsky]

PS3 of course - VF series is huge in Japan and 360 is huge missing there...

 

[Card Boy]

What does PPP (Charged) mean with Jean? I'm referring to the charged part.

The last P needs to be charged (Hold P).

 

[Death Dealer]

I'd guess 360 since most VF players went for the 360 version of VF5 way back when.

It came out on PS3 first.

I think most of the hardcore VF5 arcade players got it on PS3 when it was first available. They might have later double dipped.

PSN leaderboards have about 38k people. But I think only about 8k are highly active. The rest are Kyu ranks.

 

[Freshmaker]

It came out on PS3 first.

Online and a newer revision both worked in the 360's favor there.

 

[LowParry]

Man. I got a lot of work to do with my gameplay with this game. I'm sticking with Jean, Brad and maybe Eileen/Vanessa.

 

[alstein]

Netcode is also better on the 360 according to Twitter VF folks, at least somewhat.

 

[JaxJag]

I've been playing the 360 version. Almost zero lag, been putting up a 8 player lobby around 5 PM EST, if anyone interested my gamertag is "Jag'.

 

[Dreamer RD]

How many ranks in game? I asked some random fighter and he said about 50. True?
