NEW Virtua Fighter

  1. It looks absolutely stunning if a little slow ( a bit like VF3) hope it's speeded up a little for the final game.
    I have to say SEGA on fire at the moment.

    Its like the old CSK days again

    Well the whole thing is kind of just following Tekken's lead by going home-first with more content now. Have to view Harada effectively goading them into doing this on Twitter in another light now lol

    Been playing so much VF5:FS in anticipation for the release in 10 days. Whenever a fighting game that I love drops, the very first few days (or if I'm lucky, weeks or months as was the case with Dragon Ball Fighter Z) are when it's the easiest to find matches and the matches you find aren't filled with tip-top tier players who simply play online all day and night. It's always a race to get as much out of the game before the audiences dies off. I normally main either Akira, Jacky, or Shun when I play VF, but I dabble in just about everyone else. To get the most out of the launch next week, I've been going through and putting in spare time with the other characters I play less of and I've got to say Kage has the sickest moves in all of VF5. I especially love Ogami Watari, although it's hard to get in situations like that where you can use the move especially with real players. I have no idea what the actual martial arts reason for the little walk along the fence would be, or why he'd hold his hands that way, or what "namuuuuuu" is supposed to mean, but it's so fucking cool. I've always wanted to be decent at Kage going back to the first VF but I feel like he's a hard character to play, personally. What's funny is I see Akira get built up as this impossibly hard character to play, and since the first VF I have found him one of the easiest to pick up. I guess 30 years of muscle memory for his trickier moves and combos have done that for me.

    EDIT: seems "Namu" and the hand sign come from namu-myoho-renge-kyo, a chant Buddhists do to positively influence their karma to help them overcome an obstacle or enemy.
