Ha, awesome. You and dan are crushing it. Gonna put some hours in tonight or tomorrow and try and catch up.
Got my Hunter badge today, too :)
It is a lot of fun...I'm enjoying the hell out of actually trying to learn it against real people for a change.
When we did the SEGA Lounge Podcast recently it was very interesting to hear the potential reasons as to why Rollback wasn't used.
Sad but true. Even though it's not a good value for the full price, and even though I thought it would be better than Final Showdown, aaaaannnd even though I said I wasn't sure if I regretted buying it from a quality standpoint, I'm still happy to support VF5US if we can possibly get a VF6 or better yet a VF reboot out of it.
I am so tired of those people, people whining because no rollback, people whining because they don't like art direction, people whining because the fucking HUD, people whining, people whining because some customization assets are not ther YET (stated that they are WIP), people whining because no bikinis for Sarah and Pai so they can not (you know what)...
L. At one point I actually almost got demoted but got out of a fight by the skin of my teeth and saved my dignity. I think I'm finally getting the hang of using the macros. Maybe I should try playing someone other than Kage-maru...
That's also de greatness of Virtua Fighter. When you lost you don't want to quit, you want to overcome the situation and try play better. I think there is no other game able to do that. 2D fighter are so frame-combo-timing specific that you have to study them super hard to win at them. DoA is fun but if like simplified VF heavy relying on counters, and not much to say about Tekken or SC since I have not been into those since the early 2000s. But here, you can see why you lost, what can you try and what to change in the next match.Getting to 3rd Dan has been an achievement for me. I'm so bad. It took me hours to get out of 2nd Dan. L
If this is a mediocre port, then the actual game is the greatest fighting game ever made because I, mjq jazz bar, have never had this much fun with a fighting game in my life. I'd never felt like playing a fighting game the moment I wake up or had to force myself to go to bed when I'm playing a fighting game until I met VF5: Ultimate Showdown. Never. Not once. (Well, maybe PowerStone 1 & 2 when they were new). And I suck at this game. I lose most of my matches. I should hate it. But I don't. Because it has incredible mechanics and it just feels fun. Well done, Sega.
As long as people people support the game and stress the importance of supporting the game, I'm cool with any criticism really. That's the only part that REALLY matters to me.
I think some people just had really unrealistic expectations of the game (not a diss to you otbr87, I totally get how someone could prefer FS based on difference of appearance in characters alone). At least for me, I just wanted the best fighting game ever made available on modern platforms at 1080p, the graphical rework was simply icing on the cake.
