The netcode is solid.  Most of the one bars I've played on have been very good, almost flawless.  Compared to KoF XIII which I can't play online, it's a breath of fresh air.

quick question to anyone who got all the costume packs

i got one pack yesterday and the download was near two gigs  and me and a friend were planing on each spliting the cost of the bundle packs but what i want to know is would i have to download another 2 gigs for the bundle pack or have i already got all the costumes on my hard drive since i only got one pack and they are both the same size


also anyone wanna play some tonight dunno much about vf so trying to learn a bit

From what I understand the first pack downloads all the stuff for every character.  When you buy the next one it'll unlock the rest with out having to download it.

I'm having a lot of fun with the game since I'm actually able to play it online.  I've been using Sarah, and I'm doing pretty well with her.  I'm not able to really take advantage of openings though.  So far the most damage I can get without a wall is 65.  Each time I play I find something else I can do to get some more damage though.

Most of the matches I played online were pretty decent for me.  I can barely play KoF XIII online, but I'm able to play some VF which is nice.  I'm sure the online is better on the Xbox version, I'll have to give it a try soon.

It's been a long time since I've played VF, and when I did it wasn't very serious.  So I don't know who I'll be using as my main.  I agree with the controller Proto, it isn't as sturdy as the PS1 or PS2 and I hate it.  I've never understood why people hate the Xbox 360 for fighting games, I've never had problems with it.

I'll end up with it on xbox eventually, I don't have a stick for xbox though.  I agree that the xbox live servers are better, but that's about the only thing I like better on the xbox though.

What time does PSN usually update?  12pm PST?  I can't wait for it.

Uh oh something is about to go down.

I'm not sure where I am with this game.  I'll get it eventually, but I'm not sure if I want it right at launch.The characters are a nice incentive to pre-order the game though.

Which is the release date for ths game?

September 25th from all I've heard.  I know the Team Ninja web site just says September.

I noticed that with the Hitomi redesign, I thought she was all ready redesigned.

Do you know if it's a new character or just perhaps another VF character or a returning DoA character?

My eye for DoA moves isn't sharp due to not playing a lot for a while.  It seems like in this video Bayman and Christie showed off more new moves for each character than previous videos have. 

As for the matrix like stuff, I get the feeling I'll either love it or hate it.  If the flow of the game isn't interrupted  by it, I won't mind it.  Still I like how DoA5 looks so far, especially the characters, I can't wait to see Helena now.

Christie looks good, so did Bayman.  I would have liked to see a more in depth fight like the other videos, but still it was interesting.
That stage looked like that first level in MGS4, I thought Snake was going to crawl through during the fight.

They still pump out revisions, and now they have DLC which they can use too.  It's not at the rate it was back then but still we've have what 3 different SFIVs.  As posted earlier, don't use logic when talking about Capcom.  Logic dictates that they would take notice if a rival beats them with their character, but I don't think they'll see it that way.  Nothing in their history makes me believe that they will change.  If they get beaten by TxSF, SFV will be announced with in the next quarter of the TxSF release.

They'll find some way to spin it.  The game is like Tekken with SF characters in it, it's not truly SF.  Here's SFV, it'll have free DLC!

KoFXII wasn't liked by alot of people, SNK took notice, and XIII is much better.  SNK has admitted this was the last shot for KoF, they knew they had to do good on this one.  I don't think Capcom believes they're near that point, nor do I think they are even if TxSF beats them.  The game that is released by Capcom after TxSF should it bomb, then I think they'll take notice.

I think things are a little different than they were through most of the 2000's.  The internet is a different beast than it was back then.  The core community was still on message boards like this, but you didn't have youtube, or live streams.  Back then you like FG and were at arcades playing these games, or were casual with friends on the consoles.  Now you can play online multiplayer, granted it's not always the best but you don't need to leave your house really.  

Now anyone can post a video on youtube, have their opinion and reach thousands of people instantly. With live streams, you can show tournaments to thousands of people and showcase a game.  Also because of both, games tend to be more accessible, you don't have to spend hours trying to figure out combos if you are a new player.  Go to youtube and you'll find combo videos.  

Ten years ago, KoFXIII wouldn't be getting the attention it is now.  It's a double edge sword, but in the long run this type of exposure to all this information helps.  

TTT2 isn't going to have problems, a lot of people have been waiting for that game.  If Bandai Namco is smart they can see there is a lot of anger towards Capcom, not the genre of games.  They can grab a lot of attention with TTT2, and build the hype for TxSF.  As stated earlier in the thread, if TxSF does better than SFxT it's going to be interesting.  Some think Capcom will have to pay attention, I don't think they will, they are arrogant.  What they are doing now is what they did in the '90s.  I don't think they care in the end, they'll announce SFV and people will be distracted by the shiny object.
