Re: Virtua Fighter 5 still on top in Japanese arca

Look at Guilty Gear, I totally forgot I had that game. Accent Core is one of the deepest 2D fighting game out there, period.

When I'm not playing VF I'm playing GG:AC. Game is fucking amazing, its like the VF of 2D games when it comes to depth and complexity.

Edit: Maybe even more so with the possibilities stemming from the proper use of roman cancels, false roman cancels, burst, etc. etc... to make a long story short. If you haven't played this game go buy it NOW. Its 29.99 new (in the US) for the PS2.

Wow T6 beats VF by a large amount. Glad to see VF is up there though.

Quoted for truth /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/thumbs_up.gif, that’s the exact same thing I thought when I bought AC – best 2D fighter in my opinion. Even Tekken fans can love this game.

GGAC is actually the game I quit Tekken for. I used to have high hopes for Tekken's future because of DR. It felt like they were actually close to achieving system balance upon more tweaks (In T5’s respect), rather than just use of character diversity (Especially if you consider the first location tests where the bounce system wasn’t implemented). But then they pretty much screwed up mine, and everyone else’s expectations. To add insult to injury, it was also stated immediately after T6 was released that they were planning to release a “DR” version of T6 in the future. Talk about total disrespect. If Namco only wants to invite, and cater to newer players, then they can go right ahead. In the next game; they can make EWGF df+2, or have throws breakable at 30 frames for all I care.

There is a T6 machine a little far from where I live, but honestly I don’t even care about it anymore.

If any game deserves its place out of these rankings, it's definitely GGAC. (I haven't played the Gundam games, but I hear they are really fun!)

Wasn't Tekken 5 broke as heck because of the crush system, juggles, and the 5 God tier characters(Devil Jin, Steve, Nina, Bryan, and Feng)? Besides, Tekken 6 is probably just as bad or even worse because of the bound system, item moves, juggles, God tier characters(Bob and Kazuya), etc.. /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/sick.gif

It seems that everyone in Japan loves Tekken 6 and new Gundam versus game couldn't make it to first spot /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/frown.gif

Latest ranking from Aracadia

1. TEKKEN 6
340.2 / Pts.- Worst Tekken ever IMO, it's a shame that Japan is eating this game up...Tekken hasn't been good since T4, which had a lot of problems, but was still a fresh new take on the series...Too bad they ditched that route..

2. Mobile Suit Gundam: Gundam VS. Gundam
327.5 / pts.-I don't know too much about the Gundam Vs series, so I can't say anything other than I am a fan of most of the Gundam anime series though! lol

3. GUILTY GEAR XX Λ CORE
315.7 / Pts.-GGXAC is a great game that I have alot of fun playing from time to time(Ky Kiske and Dizzy ftw!), but as far as 2D fighters go, Street Fighter is my fav...

4. Arcana Heart 2
230.8 / Pts.-I've heard alot about this series, but it isn't surprising that it's up here, considering Japan is into the whole 'loli phenomenon'...

5. THE KING OF FIGHTERS'98 ULTIMATE MATCH
188.6 / Pts.-KOF is a good series, and an updated version of it's most popular title is definitely gonna pull in some big numbers...

6. Virtua Fighter 5
157.9 / Pts.-I guess the fact that people are waiting for R, is why VF has fallen in the ranks abit...IMO, it should be no.1, not that joke T6.

7. MELTY BLOOD Act Cadenza
128.2 / pts.-I've played a bit of this series, it's pretty fun for a while, but it isn't really my cup of tea...The anime adaptation 'Tsukihime' was good though.

8. Sengoku BASARARX
103.3 / pts.-I guess this has replaced HnK in Japan atm, more of the same stuff though, it probably won't be here too long.

9. STREET FIGHTER 3rd STRIKE
76.4 / pts.-Awesome game, highly unbalanced though, and it seems to dying a bit...Which is inevitable I suppose, with SF IV right around the corner...

10. Mobile suit Gundam SEED DESTINY combination vs. Z.A.F.T.II
60.4 / Pts.-Another Gundam Vs game, featuring my least liked series in Gundam, Seed/Destiny...Wow. lol

Re: Virtua Fighter 5: R releases...

at least i'll have good comp for both ggac and vf5 when i go to japan next summer.

honestly, i'm surprised at the games ggac overlaps with in the us. most og gg players come from 3s/tekken while most new ones come from smash bros. it's crazy i tell you!

I hope to god Tekken 6's overhype finally dies out by next year and Virtua Fighter 5 R finally reaches #1. I'm getting sick of this. /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/sick.gif

Re: Virtua Fighter 5: R releases...

@Kristina-Well, it looks like Namco will be thorwing a wrench in your plans so to speak, for Tekken 6: Bloodline Rebellion will be coming out in December. lol

Anyways, I'm not really surprised that SF IV and VF V are that low...Considering all of the top games are the highly-fast paced, combo-centric fighters...Well, excluding Gundam that is...

I hope this "combo-fad" in Japan will eventually die out and traditional fighters will reign supreme again...

Yep, Namco may be trying to keep the game from getting stale(Too bad that started in T5...), so they'll probably give 6 the 'Dark Resurrection treatment"...A couple new characters, remixed stages, etc...

This is all speculation about what they'll add of course, we'll have to wait till later this month to see if anything worthwhile is changed with the overall game engine...

Well, it looks like people want to play juggle-happy fighting games instead of a fast-paced fighting game where you sit down and take time to learn a character. /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/frown.gif

By the way, I'm probably guessing that some broken, God tier characters like Bob and Kazuya are getting the nerf hammer and low tier characters who couldn't deal damage worth crap like Xiaoyu and Marduk are getting beefed up. Amirite? /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/wink.gif

Oh of course, in fact, expect Baek and Ganryu to get beefed up to top as well...There's Namco's idea of balance I suppose...

I'm not saying he's weak. I just said he was nerfed from DR and had alot of problems that made him low tier in T6. Xiaoyu was the character that couldn't deal damage worth crap and suffered from SC3 Talim syndrome in T6. /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/smirk.gif
