VF 5 FS stream from AOU 2012 going on right now
http://www.aou2012-sega.com/

[jinxhand]

I'm actually surprised that there's diversity in the stream... Normally, there's a plethora of Akira players in those tournaments, and over here, there's a plethora of Goh players...

Despite it's general balance, in ver.C, people did tier whore with Shun, Pai, and Lei Fei though...

Players in the EU can buy VF4 EVO on PSN for pretty cheap... The port runs a bit slow on like one stage (I think Jeffry's stage), but it's still a good deal for what it's worth... At the very least, you have a means of learning the game, and when FS drops, the tutorial for that can get you up to speed on the current system changes...

For those wanting to learn without the EVO tut, this can help:

VF is such a wonderful game. Anyone wanna get any matches in and stop out my Aoi hit me up on live.
EmperorPaine = gamertag

If you see anything stating Las Vegas or hakkenden leader, then that is me.

Hey I sent you a friend invite... Which characters do you use???

[Emperor Paine]

Aoi.
I would like to get into Pai as well, but funk learning 2 characters.
Especially when there is so much to learn with 1. lol

There's not too much to learn with Pai... She's Lau with better defensive options... She has a better stance (actually she has 2 stances), and with that, better options from it... Her offense isn't strong, same with her throws, but she has good options from some of her throws, too... She's easier to pick up than Aoi, because with Aoi, it's constant mixup into a grab, counter hit bait, sabaki, or some method of interrupting movement, which Aikijutsu is about: interrupting to break (Aikido) with an emphasis on throws (Jujutsu/Jujitsu) utilizing both hard and soft methods...

Anyway, let's get some matches in whenever... Same goes for anyone else interested...

Sega finally doing a solid for the fans.

[Saitsuofleaves]

If it has the Tutorials and Training Modes of VF4:Evo, then I might definitely give it a look if the netcode is solid.

I remember trying some of those trials out at a friends house who had the game, and they were difficult as fuck once you get to the really advanced stuff.

I also liked the arcade simulator mode (?) it had that made you play AI that resembled certain players in different game rooms in Japan. It was pretty cool. One of the few games where you can level up by just the game teaching you everything that was in it.

I will be picking up and playing VF5: FS most definitely. I played a couple of hours of it at Final Round XV, and it was fun as hell.
