VF5 Final Showdown: Console Features

Revision and item updates as often as the arcade release gets them would be nice, even if the arcade version gets a window of exclusivity with them I think it's about time they made sure the console releases get to keep up.

 

I would like FS to be more than a game for me. I would like it to come around evenings to wash the dishes and chat a little, cause im lazy and bored. And I would like FS to tell funny jokes and maybe even perform a little dance routine. And...no no no this I cant say in a public forum....

Anyway FS, if only you where here with me, things would be all so much better. Life as we know it would cease to exist and the doors of paradise would be wide open to us.

Please Sega, release FS with a Smoothie machine-peripheral, because its my favourite drink and I dont see why Sega should not include one with all their games. And maybe some bananas, fresh ones. and maybe a sticker to attach to my bicycle, something that says "Im VF and Im hardcore". I have more suggestions but I need to do some work right now!

 

Matt I got VF stickers with my 360 Arcade stick. They're somewhere around here, god knows where though.

 

One simple thing that I just remembered, in the 'save replay' menu, make it so that "new replay" is the first option, not the absolute bottom one underneath every single replay ever saved.

The user interface should allow deleting replays also (currently it is not possible, have to delete from xbox settings and files menu)

 

You can just push 'Y' to save it as a new replay.

 

Why not just have a feature where the game saves every replay for you. Probably goes against TRC's though..

 

A save and upload system like Halo 3's File Share would not go amiss.

Halo 3's theatre saves all your replays temporarily but you can go can save them permenantly if you wish to do so.

 

You know a training mode feature I would have always liked to see is the ability to set the training dummy to receive a normal or counter hit move and then set it to react with a specific move from the dummies move list.

This would be awesome for testing purposes. For example training dummy is Lei and you hit it with MC and then the Lei dummy reacts with + .

Anyway while I want to be hype about FS, I'll save it for the official announcement I think will be here by E3 or sooner.

Please Sega don't drop the bomb on this one. Give us at least a 4 man lobby system, replay channel and record mode.

 

SSF4 does this also

 

I find it personally hillarious that I am involving myself in a console discussion as when my 360 died I figured I was out permanently. I haven't missed playing VF much, to be honest, but the game is in my head and hands and I still find myself thinking about it. nutso. anyway, the console features I'd love to see for FS are (and I'm sure these have been mentioned before):

VERSUS OPTIONS
*arcade or dojo play option while waiting for someone to join a session.
*lowest allowable Ping list. for those days when you really don't want to mess around with a slideshow
*ban list - don't want to play someone again ever? put em on the list and you'd be effectively invisible. at the least, a quick disconnect.
*re-match and new character select. seriously, why can't I switch it up without having to back out of a session.
*group versus - quarter queues like in the old arcade days. one guy loses, his spot gets replaced by the next in line.

REPLAY OPTIONS
*view replay option at the end of a match without having to save - it would be cool if both players could view it in real time.
*replay export option to youtube

DOJO OPTIONS
*program specific move(s) for CPU opponent to retaliate with (rod's idea but I like it)
*VF1 Dural stage - for those days you just want to practice normal floats or strings without a wall or RO option

I'm sure there are more, cooler, options but that's what I'd like to see for sure. Also, VF1 - 3TB.

 

Wow... CAPCOM got almost everything right with SSF4 modes. I hope SEGA takes a hard long look at what they did.

 

Why doesn't someone just make it into a document and before you asked I already posted a document here that someone could edit themselves..

People are just repeating the same stuff over and over again..

 

Posted in another thread: but really only three things I want

Blazblue-style button config

Ability to get items via offline versus or online play.

A disconnect % to shame raqequitters- it worked in SFIV, no other game has worked in discouraging them.

 

That's already in VF5.

 

I still say there should be a penalty item for people with a high disconnect rate. Should be forced to wear it until their d/c rate drops below 5% or something.

 

This time make Dural playable in online VS.


I need some variety after fighting 9 million Leis and Jackys .


And bring back revamped versions of the VF3TB stages. Those were pure awesome. Nobody complain about the slope juggles : VF5 FS has 205 pt wall combos, and everbody is ok with that. To call foul on the slope juggle is hypocrisy.

 

You've seen FS gameplay?

 

Oh right numbnuts, they are taking it out after VF5R . Care to wager on that ???

Bring back the learning opponent AI from VF2. And please keep the stat tracking (guaranteed throws excecuted , etc) from EVO, and this time link some of the trophies / achievements to benchmark numbers in those stats.

Also, add some online trophies / achievements .


Playing VF3TB recently game me this one, bring back tag battle mode, but let players tag in and out. That would be hard. Not hard meaning "hard" , but hard meaning "good")!!

 

I'm not sure playing 9 million Durals will make it any better.

VF3 sloped stages weren't a source of complaint for the damage potential but for all the uncertainty that they brought into a match. hit levels changed, elbows whiffed, throws whiffed - there was too much randomness in the game when the game prided itself on the opposite.
