I make a special exception because he's based on Polnareff.

Another character with a belly shirt... I'm not sweating you though... :-)

For real though, where are my Jeffry players at?!?!?!?

No sweat man... I ended up hitting quest mode to refresh my Lion gameplay... I'll most likely be on tonight around the same time if there aren't any local sessions going on...

People playing this game more often now?

I gotta shake that rust off, haven't played in a minute.

Glad to see other people play this, hit me up for matches sometime.

No fair, if you start practicing Lion, I'll never get any wins. :p

Yo, what's your tag Xxenace. I suck too, maybe we'll stand a better chance against each other.

GGs Xxenace... Your Vanessa was actually good... I think there are a few tools you need in your repertoire that would beef her up...

One's I can think of right now are 3P, 1P great mid and works against 2P spam, 3K, 1K (hop kick combo starter), a few more I can't think of right now...

I would say remember those punch moves like G~df+P, but they're not in FS anymore I think...

Easiest combo with her off of a crumple is 2P, 3K... Does decent damage...

Remember what moves allow her to switch stances. Some combos benefit from that... Speaking of combos: http://virtuafighter.com/wiki/doku.php?id=vf5:vanessa:black_book_combos

If you stick with Sarah, try to remember what I was doing (I only know enough to get around with her). She has safe options from Flamingo, as well as crumple setups...

Bak, I didn't even use Lion that whole time tbh... I went from LeiFei (he's kinda like cheating though because he's really strong), to Akira, then Sarah, and I think that's it... I won't pick Jeffry though

I'll be on for matches later tonight as well...

Geez, this game definitely feels much slower than Tekken. Haven't played in ages.

It's slow because you actually have to do more to maneuver and when you sidestep, you have to guess right.. Tekken allows you to sidestep everything freely, and the movement is more loose...

Crouch dashing is more effective in VF than in Tekken also... Once you get moving down, things get faster, especially when the opponent knows their stuff, too... Sidesteps and dashing all over the place...

[Proto Cloud]

I'm guessing because the movement and attacks in Tekken are so much quicker and the oki game is fierce. It's by no means a bad thing for the game, it makes it more strategic than Tekken. I wonder if FS is faster?

Jinxhand: You know I am officially scared of your Jeffery & I haven't even played him. :p
