Game is so good, netcode is sooooooooo awesome.
XIII's netcode plays fine for me but the moment anyone starts using the internet for anything outside of basic browsing my connection goes to hell. With VF5FS I can play great even when they are streaming videos continuously.
Jean is such a badass, he animates so damn well. The animation overall in this game is so impressive.
Haven't played XIII since getting it, mainly because my family is always doing something on the net and with this game I don't have to wait for them to stop or be a dick and ask them to get off.
Been a while since I've learned a fighting game from the ground up almost (only VF I've played is some single player of VF4EVO on PS2), feels good. Most online are new and learning as well so its great fun.
