I kinda stopped playing since almost everyone I could find had bad/questionable connections, new games that have come out or are about to come out ie: P4A and TTT2, additionally i'm not very good at the game and without anyone to play with regularly I kinda just moved on, though if you got it for PS3 I'd be willing to play you.

I still play it, just not online for a few reasons.  One my connection isn't good so it messes up my offline play.  When I get a good connection the players are just bad.

For me it's touch and go really.  There are times when the connection is good no matter what it says.  As I got better at the game though I really started to feel it though.  For casual play or teaching it's okay generally though.  If I had a strong connection I'd be on that game all the time.

I still play if anyone wants to go a few rounds. Just look for "Emperor Paine" on 360. I have about 4 or so other friends that play often as well.

Who's still playing this on the regular on PSN? Looking to test my skills against some DC members sometime.

Still playing low tier Jeffry... Akira seems much more fun this time around...

I'm still sticking it out with Brad, despite distractions from Tekken.

I'm still playing vanilla VF5, to this day the graphics look really good, Akira is hard to use I can't really combo well with him, Sarah is really fun and does good damage and love her options out of the flamigo stance, El Blaze is a little gimmicky

Akira has been toned down significantly since VF5 Vanilla... Honestly, if you're gonna learn Akira, I wouldn't even worry about his K+G:G knee if that's one thing you're sweating... His SPoD (Stun Palm of Doom) should only be difficult when it comes to knowing which direction to press on the 2nd and 3rd inputs... I can't honestly thing of anything else that would be difficult imo... Once you learn how to buffer directional inputs to do certain moves (like pressing 33 or 11 to do moves from crouching), things become really easy with him... What specifically are you having troubles with???

As for combos, from most of his launchers you can do 6KP, K+GK and that's easy damage. It's not his strongest, but it's a start, and you don't have to any of his multiple button strings... In Vanilla, after a launch, while holding 6 you could P,P,P,PK and that did some ok damage, but with the major system overhaul that was done in VF5R, and VF5FS, Akira can do those classic combos anymore...

Once you get some of those "nuisances" down, he'll become fairly easy to play with...

Sarah has gotten ridiculously better since VF5 Vanilla... She doesn't have to work to get in damage much as she did before. She has more options, albeit risky-- well, I guess not all of them are as risky as they seem once you look at frame data...

I hate El Blaze... He's like the new-age Pai in terms of annoyance to me... Still somewhat of a fun character, I just hate fighting him...

Speaking of Pai just played with a friend that was using her tonight, I took quite a beating from her until I started remembering to use Brad's P+K more, then rush her shit down.

Pai has a ton of safe pokes like 2P+K, and even from her bokutai stance, she can do P or PP and still be relatively safe. Some of her options dwindle depending on what move she uses, but at the very least she can fuzzy guard. I have to pay attention and not try to attack out of disadvantage... Sometimes throwing Jeffry's 6K works, but its still a huge risk... I'm actually trying to learn Pai, so if you have any questions or whatever, hit me up... There's always VFDC also...
