I decided to stick with Eileen and its kinda paid off. I've got her up to 5th Dan but god DAMN if anyone using vanessa past 3rd Dan doesnt just steamroll me. Most of the 8th Dans hand me my ass too. They block so well and get in a lot of throws or knock me out of chains midway through. Eileens air moves are easy to kick her out of too which kinda leaves me to the ground game with hopes of 'surprising' the AI.

The Vanessas are nuts tho. I just get obliterated. The OPM guy ProdigyOPM plays a really good lei fei tho. Felt like a really good fight. I thought about using Shun Di as a secondary but god damn if that didnt throw off my Eileen game. Im pretty good with Shun Di tho, but i think I topped out at 7th dan with him in Evo.

What do you mean by 5th Dan and such? I know the game isn't online, so are you playing against uber hard level computer players?

MrAngryFace · « **Reply #2 on:** April 07, 2007, 12:57:51 PM »

yeah there's quest mode and basically you are ranked as you play in tournaments and arcades. Since im a casual player that has never crested the Dans, all I know is it goes.

10th kyu ----> 1st kyu : 1st Dan ------> 10th Dan : (all the super fantastic you rock rankings)

IMO VF4 Evo and VF5 have some of the best single player replay value for a fighter ever.

The internet would probably die if it was announced the 360 version would be fully playable online

MrAngryFace · « **Reply #4 on:** April 07, 2007, 01:26:55 PM »

I dont think it would work, the game really depends on split second choices you make based off of what the other player is doing rather than dial-a-combos a la DoA4 and what not.

Van Cruncheon · « **Reply #5 on:** April 07, 2007, 06:39:32 PM »

i play lei-fei exclusively and am 5th dan

i started to try to learn goh, but i dunno if i have the fortitude -- he's really hard to master.

TWO PEOPLE PLAY THIS GAME APPARENTLY! Come on people, you cant all be playing Naruto

Yeah VF4EVO has the best single player game in a fighter ever, next to Street Fighter Alpha 3

What stage conditions do you have to deal with in VF5?

Robo · « **Reply #11 on:** April 09, 2007, 12:53:50 PM »

I have a Champion Jacky, Kage and Jeffery in VF4:Evo, and I think my Akira is around Warrior or so. I can't get his damn strings to come out consistantly.

I poke around with Lau a little too, but I don't like the changes made to him from VF4 to Evo, so I never stuck with it.

MrAngryFace · « **Reply #12 on:** April 09, 2007, 12:55:50 PM »

Wow Akira, im impressed. Only one harder to use ive found is Goh.

Himu · « **Reply #13 on:** April 09, 2007, 01:06:19 PM »

Goh isn't really fun to use imo

Robo · « **Reply #14 on:** April 09, 2007, 01:53:53 PM »

I like his move set, but Goh never clicked with me.

Akira isn't so tough to use if you can do the inputs, which pretty much requires that you're using an arcade stick. He's quick and can drop off half a life bar in an instant. Any sort of strategical failings are made up for on a single float providing you can follow it up with big damage.

Mr. Gundam · « **Reply #15 on:** April 09, 2007, 02:11:46 PM »

I've been trying to use Akira, it's not working out too well, though...

MrAngryFace · « **Reply #16 on:** April 09, 2007, 02:41:54 PM »

I suk at akira

Robo · « **Reply #17 on:** April 09, 2007, 03:23:52 PM »

I actually think it's harder to use Lei Fei without getting into a mashing tendency. Being able to know which stance to go into and when and what you can do from there takes a lot of practice, memorization and experience. When you get confused and frustrated, it's too easy to just start the FUCK YOU PPK PPK PPK PPK routine that works more often than it should (against the computer, at least, I should say).

MrAngryFace · « **Reply #18 on:** April 09, 2007, 04:20:08 PM »

Drinky does a mean Lei Fei, was smashing my Eileen game down for a while. I win a few now, but its true when lei fei gets in a good string yer all kinds of fuck if you cant manage to evade or dig a quick simple move thats faster than what lei fei is thrownin out of yer butt.

Van Cruncheon · « **Reply #19 on:** April 09, 2007, 11:10:35 PM »

PPK against MAF gets me killed. ANd he overstates -- he wins about 2/3rds of our matches. Lei-Fei's stance and move variety are fuck awesome, which is why I don't have much incentive to play anyone else.

MrAngryFace · « **Reply #20 on:** April 09, 2007, 11:15:25 PM »

When I lose tho I get beat down so bad

My Eileen looks badass now got the monkey king crown and the black n gold kung fu shit. Stuck at 5th dan tho goddamnit. This 8th dan pai and 7th dan vanessa keep showing up. And dont get me fucking started on ProdigyOPM

drohne · « **Reply #21 on:** April 12, 2007, 12:53:42 PM »

conqueror, akira

played quite a bit of pai as well, don't remember exactly what rank i left off at

MrAngryFace · « **Reply #22 on:** April 12, 2007, 01:32:52 PM »

If you need to be good with an arcade stick to be good with Akira, thats probably why I cant be good with Akira. Im a pad junkie all the way lol.

Robo · « **Reply #23 on:** April 12, 2007, 01:53:55 PM »

You can still do well with a pad, but nailing his SPoD strings and his knee float is so much easier on stick. On a stick, the knee is just a simple hammer off on the buttons. You're still gonna miss it occasionally because the release window is like two fucking frames, but at least you can use the damn move.

I really need to quote this whenever some idiot says VF5 NEEDS online play.

MrAngryFace · « **Reply #25 on:** April 15, 2007, 11:59:27 PM »

Aww yeah im RIGHT next to 6th Dan, got all the cool costume parts. Opera Monkey Face paint, monkey king crown, monkey staff, an outfit of black n gold.

I get owned by PAI tho god damn her

MrAngryFace · « **Reply #26 on:** April 17, 2007, 01:03:49 AM »

6th dan thank god finally. There's this Lau in one of the noob arcade that is always giving me gold treasure opportunities so I mostly grind noob arcades lol.

I also cheesed an 8th dan vanessa out of a win in a tourney. 10k gold here I cum. All the tourneys are whoever does the most damage in 10 seconds, which is easy cause eileen excels at staying out of reach.
