Defensive Stance

Hi! I mained Vanessa, and I always play her in offensive stance. Defensive is a little hard for me. Any help?

Thank you /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/smile.gif

 

Weird, usually people ask for advice on how to play OS (offensive stance). In fact there's *far more* discussion about DS (defensive stance) in this forum - just check the threads below the one you hastily created

If you really need a quick-and-dirty guideline to get you started on DS, here's my advice:

UP CLOSE

If you are at disadvantage (usually meaning your opponent just blocked your previous move) --> choose between , or block.

If you have the advantage (usually meaning you blocked your opponent's attack) --> choose between , or throw.

FROM A DISTANCE

Alternate between , or (backwalk).

If you are new to the game don't try her other defelcting moves for now - they require intricate guesswork that you might find difficult to grasp. Instead try randomly throwing out some low punches, strings and the good old tornado kick once in a while to keep your opponents honest and you're set, insta-DS!

Once again, check out the other threads, this advice will only take you so far

...good choice of character btw

 

12?

 

This is a nice outline by... uh someone.

Dang, had I know you were a pedo I would have said we have kids at NorCal gatherings so you'd come to one. :\

Disagree. Jeffry/Wolf/Goh/Akira are better characters in the sense you'll learn the system far easier.

 

pfff I don't get down like that /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/whistle.gif just weird to see a 12 year old that likes VF /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/crazy.gif

I have been busy the past couple months and unfortunately I will be tied up till after the holidays

I ordered a custom stick from arcade-in-box, damn thing is expensive but the talk is beyond good about it and I get a one year warranty so that's good, done using pads.

I dunno maybe if I can free up some time early NOV but that's the best I can do and It's not guaranteed 0_o

 

Sebo, please write something about the OS as well!

Thanks you for your work, It really good

 

Thanks for the advice. I like offensive stance because offensive is fast and fun. I think defensive is hard for me because its slower (in my opinion) and I never can finish combos.

My big brother got me into Virtua fighter when I was 11. He plays Jeffery and might main Taka if VF5R comes to 360.

P.S. Kind of a silly question but, why did they change Vanessas skin color?

 

And around what age do you think a lot of us would have been when VF1 came out, eh?

 

Let's not get into that - what's important is that if you play Quest Mode enough you can win a special item that makes her skintone darker

 

Different time then ......3-D was the new hotness and arcades still had a pulse
