Looking for Sparring Partners (XBox 360)

    Hello all!

    My name's Mat, and my girlfriend and I are both newly-made Virtua Fighter addicts!

    We used to occasionally play Tekken, because we thought that it was the best that fighting games got. Boy were we wrong! After downloading the demo of Final Showdown on the 360 and playing it a handful of times, we decided it was well worth the $15. A few days later, not only are we both completely hooked, but we both purchased fighting sticks to improve our game (neither of us having ever used a stick besides years ago in an actual arcade)... Now neither of us choose to use a standard controller to fight.

    The balance and mechanics of this game are incredible. Tekken feels so clunky in comparison, and is too easily manipulated by simple button mashing. VF takes endless patience.

    We are both looking to others to spar with that are close to our level -- We're about two or so weeks into playing, having the basics down but sanding edges. We've each been trying to use one character 80% of the time (or so) in order to master one at a time in a sense. Anyone looking to spar just send us a message saying you're from VFDC.

    TehMidcap8 (mine -- Mat) (main Wolf)
    Hannah8791 (gf) (main Vanessa)

    NOOB Question: is it worth the $7 to pick up a used copy of Virtua Fighter 5 Online having never played any except Final Showdown? Was thinking about it just for the added one player game modes and whatnot... or is Final Showdown that much better (/similar) that it's not necessary?


    From my post in new starters, just to give you a background. Looking for some people to play Virtua Fighter with!

    Most time not playing VF5FS is spent playing Forza (both 4 and Horizon) or NHL14, so if you're into either one of those games that's a plus. :) Mostly looking for some good humans to practice VF skills against, though.

    Edit: Yes, North America. PA.

    Dogs can't play? You're gonna have a hard time finding matches buddy. There might be some human tags in the respective matchmaking threads though. I'd go there.

    Oh btw, to answer your question, you can think about Virtua Fighter 5 Online as a totally different game. It's great and we'll with the 7 bucks, but at the same time, don't think you can go back and forth between FS and the original VF5 as the characters and system play much differently.

    Final Showdown is the newest and most relevant version, and the only one people still play online.

    Sorry to derail, but your energy used to post negative feedback about xbl's current vf status isn't relevant. How about donating your time for these new comers and let that be that.

    If you read the quote I believe you will find that my message is just a lame pun and not intended as negative at all. However Im sorry if it comes off like that. I was in a weird mood haha! Good luck to Midcap finding games.

    LOL you were being a negative Nancy and got told and now your trying to double back going "ha. ha. I'm corky." Anyway I have no problem finding games in Rank, but I also don't play rank that much cause well look at my friend list. I'm a popular lady. Honestly in Rank my rule is as long as we have a good connection I will play you. From 10 kyu to stormwhatever I'm game.

    Anyway send me a Friend request and I will give you some games when I'm on.

    Hi VF community,

    I'm sweet 44 years and the first time in my life into online play :D

    I a big SEGA fan and love the VF series, but played only offline till now. I don't know how good or bad I am, but VF5 FS is the greatest fighting game ever and now with XBL Gold I will try to fight around in onlinematches.

    If you want a fight dummy (probably) ... or maybe to be beaten to pulp by my Sarah (hmm, maybe), please feel free to add me if you play on X360.

    Gamertag: DC4ever
