Well, for me, I am going to be spending a lot of time in practice mode to refine my skills. To me, the strength of fighting games is in their unlimited replay value. The whole point is to challenge other players to understand your strengths and weaknesses. That's where the replay value comes in not in the single player. However, I do not have any right to dictate to you how you should play.I played through VF5 this morning and honestly, I'm already done with it. I should say I've never been keen on VF, but there isn't much else to do, I got some of the easier trophies, and the rest require you to play 100-1200+ matches online - I'm good.
This is a problem I have had with many fighting games these days, the lack of interesting offline content. Tekken was my go-to fighter, but with Tekken 7, I beat the campaign, tried online to mop up the easy online trophies and I was done with it too. My favorite model to play on fighting games is Survival Mode, as the incentive to beat my score gave the game a decent set of replay value. Also these days all the characters are unlocked from the get-go - or are paid DLC - There's no incentive to play through arcade mode as it lacks the thrill of unlocking the characters or costumes.
One feature I did think was pretty cool was to see online battles on the menu, I've not seen that before.
I hear you on this one. Sadly, I feel very similar after spending a few hours with Ultimate Showdown. It doesn't feel as fresh as I was hoping and I have already gone back to Final Showdown in the same evening. I'm not a big fan of Tekken 7 personally as I find it to be possibly the worst game in the franchise(or possibly Tekken 4?)and that was even more enjoyable for longer than Ultimate Showdown was. At least upon first impression.I played through VF5 this morning and honestly, I'm already done with it. I should say I've never been keen on VF, but there really isn't much else to do.

I feel you on this. Seems silly to play fighting games for the single player content, but that's kinda how I am these days. My impression (with zero evidence) is that they're diverting their efforts of a new quest mode towards VF6.I played through VF5 this morning and honestly, I'm already done with it.

Me! Just 90 minutes today. Netcode is not broken, a little sttutering sometimes. Rooms are easy to access, ranker match takes some time to find openents.How many of you are playing online?
Just added you. I am a total newbie but add me on Sheepboy64 (it’s a long story so).If anyone wants to play with me pls add mjqjazzbar. Yes a Dojo room would be rad.
Not like I'm an expert, but I feel Pai, Lau, Jacky, and Sarah are all fairly beginner friendly.Just added you. I am a total newbie but add me on Sheepboy64 (it’s a long story so).
On that note what is recommended character to start with having never played VF? I tried Akira and was able to pull off a few Shenmue moves but found his offensive options limited in my limited hands
