It's widespread. I'm worried it's another PSN hack. :/

This game has been shitty online for the past two days. What happened?
Truth to be told, the online for this game is not good. Played though arcade and I was blocking lows that I would never be able to block online. That doesn't include the buggy matchmaking system in Ranked or the ridiculous waits in Player and Room matches.
I'll stop being so jaded now.
GGs to everyone I played last night.

damn. my 360 is giving me the dirty disc error. even with this game. fuck. i can sometimes rock for a while before it does it but it seems to be getting worse. the silver lining is that my friend has an extra jasper 360 lying around unused at home.
and i tried playing vanilla VF5 the other night with some friends (he doesn't have FS) and wow did it feel really, really off. And the characters are super tiny in comparison. but i did miss some of vanessa's moves to be honest.

My friend had this error. Just delete the game and re-download. Seemed to fix the problem without needing to change xboxes.

With regards to characters looking tiny, the camera was more zoomed out in the vanilla game. I much prefer the look of FS.
Also, if they do make VF6, I really hope they flesh out the story mode. I remember reading up on the character backstories in the manual for VF5, I think, and being disappointed that nothing story-related even happens in the game.

I just remember that anime being one of the first ones with a quality dub.
Can't flesh out something that doesn't(and never did) exist. Closest you get is the quest mode which is kind of a meta-story mode. Actually it would be kind of neat if that was fleshed out. Give your rivals faces, character events at arcades and that kind of thing. Would be pretty amazing.

I've been watching it while I practiced actually. It's got me practicing Akira and Jacky. I've gotten some of Akiras multi-command attacks down pat on a controller. Wild Vision gets me in the mood to practice for whatever reason.

You can hold the opposite direction to break out of Goh's clinch, because he takes a little step before he drags you for the throw. Since you're breaking the step, you don't have to press P+G to get out of it. Brad's neck clinch can't be broken once it lands, but you can escape the throws that follow it with P+G and the throws direction.
Speaking of Brad's neck clinch, I had no idea that it was so easy to stop. Jabs will usually counter-hit, leaving you at an advantage, and you can even throw him out of it when you see his arms going for your neck. I think you still have to anticipate the clinch before you can spot it, but knowing that it's easy to stop should allow me to stop taking so many (many, many) throws from it from now on.
If it is like breaking Vanessa's grabs you press down when they press down, and forward when they press forward(this is where the opposite comes in, their forward and your forward are opposite directions).
I am not completely sure about this, but that is what I would expect. You could go into free training to confirm.

Yes, you hold up to break away when Goh steps down, and you hold down to break away when Goh steps up. I'm not sure why it works that way, though; I guess it's supposed to mimic a break in momentum or something. I've tested all four directions, and that's how it's worked out for me.
I didn't know Vanessa's grabs worked like that.
Geez, I really need to read up on the rest of the cast.
Vanessa's grab only has forward back and neutral. I misspoke when I put down in there. Really you press up when goh presses down? That doesn't sound right to me. I belive you, but that seems weird.

Ah, I see. Thanks for the correction.
Yeah, Tsukami's a weird grab. The easiest way to look at it is that you're pulling yourself away from him, rather than breaking a throw. It's still confusing, though; even when you know the trick, a good Goh player will mix it up by pushing you away with P+G instead of using a directional throw. The push can't be broken, and it puts the Goh player at +15 advantage - more than enough for mixups.
I love using it, but I hate having to fight another player who knows how to use it well.

I'm on PSN right now, we can play for a while if you want.
Edit: Whoops, read that timestamp as 1:52 PM instead of 1:52 AM. I'm so embarrassed. Offer's still on the table, though.
http://iplaywinner.com/news/2012/8/...scvt6-results-replays-saturday-night-sna.html -- replays from No Mercy Friday are up.
Had a lot of fun, and VF5 had a really good turnout. Hope to see at least as many next time!

Was Bronson there?
Top 4 from that "one prestigious Japanese tourney." Starts like 10 minutes in.

That's great news, but it still missing 2 of my biggest gripes:
1) "Region" is organized by country. Being in Canada it's near impossible to find matches in my country so I'm forced to search worldwide. And worldwide I'm 80% of the time stuck getting matches against Europeans with hella lag. The region should be divided by continents so that I could at least play against some Americans where the connection would still be playable.
2) Players can only enter lobbies in between matches and not during matches. This is a retarded game design. Makes things so inconvenient for no reason.
The reason they don't allow joining lobbies with matches in progress is to prevent lag spikes.
The problem with the lobbies is that if there is a match in progress, that lobby will not even show up as a search result. You can only see the lobby and join during the break, which is why they have the 30 second timer. That's ok, but I'm glad they're adding the option to speed up/skip the timer. They also need to show every lobby available, not just the ones that are in the "break" period. There needs to be a way to get on a waiting list or something so at least you know that a lobby is available and has space for you.

Seems like a very minor patch but that SEGA is continuing to support this game at all is really terrific. From the 2+ hours of tutorial vids they've provided to sponsoring and hosting community events - I don't expect any company to be this good. And $15 digital release? Well done.
I'm yammering. But really, well done.

Yeah, I got snagged by that Hot Dog throw a bunch of times in my match against 001. I need to learn how to deal with that mixup.

It's a really hard mix up to deal with if you let El Blaze start it up because he has ridiculous options from it. High Throw for the Hot Dog, Low Throw, Sunrise Knee, Demon Dance, low drop kick, canceling the run, etc. It's best to try and stuff it or just don't let him start it up though that can be difficult as is.
I've been working on integrating his two P+K Hit Throws more into my gameplay for higher damage output. It's a bit riskier but the numbers you put out when you hit them is amazing. Time for some more PSN antics.
Yea I have been playing with his down forward P+K throw, seems to be fairly safe, comes out fast, and ducks under highs I beleive. And you can combo off of it to something about half their life if they don't stuggle perfectly(which I have't seen).
P+K throw -> run Up+Forward K+G(summersault) -> P Down+P -> back kick string
Is what I try. Usually I can't land the back kick string so I just use the forward P, K
