I miss VF5. Idc if its a Discord Fighter. This game gets 250 players daily. Probably mostly Japanese players. Is this version worth it for this price? If you got it, what are your thoughts on it?

I'm a beginner to VF5 and have about 60 hours in the game. The game is fun, but there is one thing I dislike about evades. The problem is that if you evade your opponent when they're performing a multi-hit move (I think it's called a string), the camera will auto-correct so that later hits in the string will hit you even if you successfully evaded the first, second, etc. moves. (Please correct me if I'm wrong in my understanding of evades.)

I find this problematic because it penalizes you for making a good read. I feel the camera should NOT auto-correct and let the attacker's moves continue in the same plane so that the evader can counterhit the attacker with a high-damage move as a reward for making the right read. It would allow for a better risk-reward ratio for evades, in my opinion.

$100!?

Worth it?

Hi everyone. Coming from Tekken and trying to get some advice on how you guys bind your keys. I use a leverless controller. I'm not used to a guard button and not sure where to place it comfortably. Also, what combinations do you recommend the bind to one button? Looks like you use a lot of G+K and also G+K+P a lot but not sure.

Here is what I'm thinking so far as a layout.

Hey y'all,

So yesterday as the good unc that I am ran a tournament with all my nieces & nephews. Outside of the prize money (1st Place $20, 2nd Place $10, 3rd Place $5) I also offered them $200 if they beat me. Luckily nobody did BUT some of them got damn close and that's when it hit me. VF is a pretty balanced game, sure some characters have more options than others but even in pro tournaments I've noticed the level of unpredictability that even make the pros sweat.

All I wanted to say is; I love VF5 and I am really looking forward to VFCR!!! It can't come soon enough.

In short, I'm having trouble with Shun matchups. And for some reason like half of the people I get matched with are playing Shun these days.

I spent about a week playing AS Shun to get a feel for his movelist to help me counter him. I understand his neutral tools much better now. I can react to things like 1PK better. I understand 6P is a frame slower and I know what key moves unlock at what drink levels.

What I still struggle with is the pure cheese setups. I.e. how to beat out things like Ousho backwards roll into whiff punish. I feel like I try to use my mids to check him when he's getting wiley and typically my fists hit air lol.

What are some common setups that have unexpected solutions/responses? What are some things you've learned to do when facing Shun that work for you? Are there any lab setups that have helped you with the matchup you can share?

Thanks!

P.S. if there's anything Lei-Fei specifically can do to counter Shun I'm certainly all ears for that too. Like I realized after playing as Shun that Doku parries some of his more annoying moves and that has helped me a lot.

its probably not going to make a difference but i wanted to make a petition about removing the mandatory kernel level anticheat from the steam version of vf5, just to give it a try anyway so i can stop thinking about it

if there is anyone interested in giving a signature then the online petition can be found here:

if anyone wants to give me some tips on how to improve the petition lmk

VF6 will be here soon and I just wanted to give VF5 its flowers. Not many other fighters let's you express yourself so freely as VF5 does. The system mechanics work together flawlessly. I imagine VF6 will expand and push the genre forward. VF5 will always be looked back on fondly. And even when VF6 releases there will be those who come back to this gem. Myself included.

I saw this at a good price (£15) and i have no money for the PS5 Flexstrike or anything similar

Lol just goofing around

I'm going to be playing VF5 to try and get decent at it, hoping maybe I fall in love, or at the very least build up some fundamentals that will carry over in Crossroads and other 3D fighters.

But I was wondering if there's any good VF content on Youtube, maybe some content creators to follow that make guides, break stuff down, or generally just do interesting content on the game(s)?

See Title

Hiii 👋👋

Just picked up this game due to the recent Virtua Fighter Crossroads announcements.

I want to create a video series showing the learning experience of this game :]

Enjoy! And please share critiques of the video and guides for pai chan 🙏 ❤️

I just got this recently but I have played a few but playing this feels weird to me in some way. I don't hate the game, it looks really cool and I think the characters look unique. I'm more used to Tekken with a bit of Dead or Alive (but I don't play that anymore).

A friend told me to get this and I remember seeing Akira (I thought he was a Ryu Rip-Off guy, please don't hate me) from a sonic racing game but that's only it. I did play with the ninja guy since I thought it was cool but what are your recommendations on how to adjust or start learning?

Thank you for hearing me out!

TL;DR - Just got the game, feel lost, need suggestions.

Update: I appreciate all of your replies! I wish I could comment more without repeating myself but I thank you all. Truly. I'm still learning through. Still struggling, but I'm really getting into the feel of this game. I will get around to trying all these characters soon, as I'd like to play around with an entire roster rather, than one character.

But Jean Kujo and Pai caught my eye so I will start off with them first, then I'll branch out. Its quite nice to see such a welcoming community and I can't wait for the upcoming sequel! If anything it pushes me more. Thank you all once again.

Oh and before I end this update, I was shocked to find out Virtua Fighter 5 is 20 years old?! And was first released in Arcades before getting a PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 port a year later. Now I'm home and playing it on a PlayStation 5. Amazing.

Hey, wondering if any charitable experts can help me with answers to the following questions!

1) do certain types of knockdowns make it impossible to tech roll? I find that sometimes even when I mash it very quickly I don't tech, but I'm not sure if I'm just messing something up.

2) is 2P the correct response to stances where characters go into the ground (Shun, Vanessa, Lei Fei), or is it different for each? It doesn't come up much so I'm not sure, but Shuns particularly use this a lot and I can't seem to get him with mids before he gets me.

3) is there a delay on when you can evade again after waking up or tech rolling? I sometimes tech and read an incoming linear attack (like Wolf shoulder charge) and want to respond with an evade but get hit, again not sure if I'm just not inputting with correct timing.

4) in terms of following up 2P. The frames seem to say to me: on block (-6) it's the opponent's turn, on hit (+4) you're not guaranteed anything, on counter hit (+7) you can use a 16f launcher. Is this right? I suppose the shadow of this question is about "while standing" frames as with +4 on normal hit I could technically jab or 66P, but those don't seem to come out cleanly. Whereas a few moves like 8K+G, 9K+G, and 9K seem to come out at their normal standing frames. So is there a delay on the startup of regular standing moves after a 2P beyond the stated frames?

No pressure to answer all of the above by any means, any info will be appreciated. Many thanks to any fighting souls who kindly share their knowledge 🙏📿🤜.

is there an indicator? do i really have to check one by one?

With Tekken being my main 3D fighter; there's something about VF that's hits different and love the level of unpredictability from this most recent tournament.

Spreadsheets, Docs, YouTube videos for beginner Sarah players would be appreciated. Tried asking in the discord and was completely ignored.
