They all seem to be using that very same paint/water - splatter animation in all of their advertisements these days.

Too late.

I'm more likely to be playing Melty Blood Actress Again Current Code Ver. 1.07 on PC, since that'll be out on 31. December THIS YEAR.

Or, y'know. 3S, SF4, some form of TEKKEN.

Monkeyto

In that case, never mention Virtua Fighter again, because in general nobody here really likes it and you're ****e at it anyway.

Found this on SRK and NeoGaf earlier.

That's some pretty good pricing if it's a stand-alone game and doesn't require the regular disc copy of VF5.

Dreddybajs

Great price alright.

The Hound

Ya pay for quality, therefore it must be **** if its so cheap unlike hobnob cookies. I was thinking about making a thread on how godlike those cookies are

So when you wanna do this chopper?

Leprekaun

Yeah, I'm massively looking forward to this. I may give up my faithful SF focus towards VF now. Its seriously in depth. That said, I am a Sega fanboy so anything Sega is always awesome! :pac:

If there is enough interest (which I unfortunately suspect, there will not be), I'd be willing to set up tournaments for this. SF players can be found all over the place but true hardcore VF players, I just can't seem to find them . Net play is still out of the question for me so I'll be doing my VF training, arcade style :pac: which basically means, again, if there is interest, VF casuals at least every two weeks.

Oh and the great thing about VF, once you've tried to pull off some crazy combos (or simple combos which are hard to execute like my eternal enemy, Akira's Dragon Lance) and go back to SF, you feel like a total legend, pulling off FADCs, 1-frame links and generally going insane because VF made you so good! Or bad, very bad, but thats just because you're probably **** at fighting games and thats the end of it...

K.O.Kiki

Quick heads-up: I will have to let chopper get some practice postpone due to a family visit.

On the plus side, we can probably get this recorded.
