Anyone else in Europe who wants a couple of friendly matches? Gamertag is Telperiel, I could turn the thing on and see if anyone invites me.

I've been doing player matches all day and have lost probably around 95% of them. Wolf is the only character that's been fun to play for me so far, but I have so much trouble against players who like to get in close with fast moves...which is pretty much everyone. I'm thinking of switching to Goh.

How about 3K with Wolf? I'm punishing suckers with it all day offline. Should work pretty well online too, and it's repeatable.

can someone answer this: do the arcades in quest mode ever end? for example, i keep playing all the challengers but i never seem to "beat" any of the arcades; the fighters just keep coming and coming. am i wrong to presume they actually end at some point?

I'm pretty sure you'll just keep playing the same people. The same "people" tend to frequent each, so I can only imagine it keeps going. I doubt sega programmed the people you play to die from old age or anytihng

I actually have a question about the arcade stick. How is the stiffness of the stick itself? I have bad memories of the official dreamcast stick being fairly slow to snap back, and I ended up having to go in and construct some semi-effective stick stiffening measures (ie:strategically placed rubber bands) in order to get it to be reasonable. Is the Hori stick snappy and quick? Or does it feel mushy and slow?

Does anyone have a Youtube link or anything to this? I'm a Sarah player, and I'm still a pretty big newbie. That being said, online has really surprised me. I really really enjoy it. I haven't encountered an ounce of lag. It's really amazing. Anyone have any tips for a Sarah player?

Goh ain't gonna be any easier than Wolf to defend against those with fast moves.Dai Kaiju said:

low punch is gonna be your friend with Wolf if you need to defend against faster characters. That's one of the few dependable weapons Wolf has in this game. A common flowchart to follow is low punch into Screwhook (hcb+P, P). It's a simple thing to do but you need to confirm that the low punch hits on a counterhit before going into the Screwhook. Odds are even though the low punch hits, the opponent will try to counter with a low punch of their own or with another attack, in which case the Screwhook is gonna kill them and knock them down. But if the low punch is blocked or is just a normal hit and you still go for the screwhook then they can easily sidestep it and you'll get screwed.
Check out one of my matches as a reference... first round about 20 seconds in. Also, 50 seconds in you can see what happens if you don't hit confirm the first Screwhook hit.
People can duck the second hit even if it's on a normal hit, so you have to make sure this goes into a counterhit if you want the knockdown. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qFrwwDEObew
Here's another thing that works really well against faster characters (aka everyone except Jeffry :lol). I tend to use this a little too much against opponents so it can get pretty predictable but against new players this should be golden. Use his f+P, P attack, and if it's blocked, backdash and use b+K (his straight kick). Even if the second P is blocked it pushes people back enough that if they just throw out something as a counter the b+K is gonna hit. Obviously there are exceptions to this but Wolf's b+K is fast enough to snuff out a lot of counterattacks.
See round 2 here... Jacky tries to use f+P to counter but it doesn't have enough range to catch the backdash so Wolf's b+K hits him to end the round. In round 5 I tried the same flowchart again but the Jacky player was smart enough to remember what happened the last time I used it so even though I still hit him with b+K because he tried to move in, he adapted really quickly to this series of moves. You can also see in round 3 how I use K+G to cover Jacky's evade attempts, which was kind of a weakpoint of Wolf's in VF4.

Reno, do the rumours about VF5 getting an VF4:Evo-type upgrade with new characters have any truth to them?

I just got this Saturday from CC.
My big question is and I don't know if it's been answered, but where does the data from the quest mode opponents come from? I mean the player's name and the little messages.
Is that stuff taken from the servers or just randomly generated? Because I just played an CPU opponent with a GAF user name.
If you play quest mode and run into a player named jobber, let me know!
I use Vanessa who I transformed into Beyonce.

Has anyone else encountered problems when fighting online? Lately I've been having a problem where my character just stands there and blocks, and I can't get her to do anything else. This is even made worse when your character just winds up lying on the floor, and the person who is playing you just spams the up + a. UGH.

Just pick a character you like best (by appearance or by moves, whatever), and start with the Dojo Mode. Then play the Quest Mode so you can practice how to execute your moves in an actual battle before you go online.xabre said:
xabre said:
Probably the most balanced fighter on the market. Tiers really don't mean much, it's really more about how well you know any given character. The huge number of moves means you're always outfitted with more than a few responses to any situation. Just pick a character that appeals to you, run through their move list and find good applications for a base set of techniques to try out on the quest mode. The AI from about 7th or 8th Dan onwards will start to punish the same kind of techniques that will get you punished in online play, so by that point you'll be able to pretty confidently hop into online play against other new players. Well, I assume so anyway, its quite hard for me to talk about the learning curve seeing as I've been playing Virtua Figher for nearly 13 years.
Just tried this for the first time. Quick question, sorry if it's already been addressed. I have the Hori stick, and customized the controls so that I have A-guard, B-punch, X-kick. Worked perfectly in dojo and arcade. I went online and tried three unranked player matches, and in each of the three my controls were all fucked up. I didn't, for example, appear to have a kick button. Went offline and everything was fine again. Any ideas? My opponents didn't seem to have any issues.

Had a few good matches with MicVlad last night. His Goh is a killer. I ate a ton of 50% damage grabs.
Oh and I unlocked some kickass stuff for Eileen. Blue hair(omg! ^_^ I'm a tard), a monkey tail, and a monkey staff. Also cleaned out the second arcade finally(It took forever getting that last guy to show up) picked up Conquerer rank(yes I'm playing normal difficulty, I'm a ponce), and did some other stuff.

Thank you muchly! I'm gonna give those strats a try. I'm having a lot of fun playing Goh, so i'll probably have plenty of questions once I feel confident enough to take him online.

Nope, however you get a ton of items through regular matches/some tournaments.
You can play in the same arcade endlessly, as the same fighters will keep showing up. It is possible to 'clear' an arcade, that is, beat every player that frequents that arcade. In the match-up screen, the little yellow star next to the challenger's name indicates that you have beaten them.Barkley's Justice said:
Don't expect to clear an arcade until you pass the Dan levels (the Champions, Warriors, and such won't come out until them).
Ok people. Here's another awesome fight for you all to watch. This time, we're going to take a look at a character that many people went crazy for back at Virtua Fighter 2 but they never quite understood him. That's right, it's Shun Di:

Grifter said:
Go to the world map view, press start, then select the "status" option. From there, you can get a list of every rival sorted by arcade, along with a percentage completion for that arcade. You can therefore see exactly how many fighters you have left to defeat in each arcade. Handy when you're going after the achievements for clearing the arcades. Also, if you enter an arcade screen and your choice of 3 matchups all have a star beside them, you can exit and then enter the arcade again to get another 3 random matchups that may have an unstarred fighter among them. I just finished off the beginner's arcade today, still have a shit-ton of work to do and I have no idea where I stand in terms of items.
Seconding this request!
You all gonna love this one. Nothing but a rough and dirty match between Vanessa and Goh:

Well, Sega did kinda promise DLC eventually, I think...
Just curious if anyone here added me on Live... I've got a FR from a tag I don't think I've seen before. Just thought it was sort of odd and random.. said person was playing VF5, so I thought it might have been someone I'd matched up with, but I checked my recent game list and didn't see that person.

Okay, taking a look now. I'll probably skip those if they're not needed for the "collect all items for one character" achievement. Getting the orbs and items are a little easier than I thought, since item battles happen pretty often for me.Reno said:Actually, the DLC is up now. 3 new items per character..... 300points.
Not to be a bitch, but any time new items are available..... they're free.
