G4 XPlay's Best Fighting Game of 2012

Just want to point out, that Eventhubs.com writes a story about Persona 4 winning best fighter at the Spike Video Game Awards, but not VF at the G4 Awards....

G4 is no more, like I said. Goodbye G4, hello Esquire. Now, this network would have some class.

 

I just don't get how VF is hard to understand for a lot of people, especially people coming from other fighters. I explained the game to a friend in less than 5 minutes and a couple later, she was stepping, fuzzy guarding and puttin up a nice offense. I explained it the same way at a tourney and people thought I was speaking Russian. I think people just go by reviews who also don't understand the game, and go by that.


I hate gamers.

 

i mean isnt too hard but there is alot to learn compared to other fighters since this is most technical fighter ever. i think the problem is new players find it boring like mentioned earlier. They dont realise i takes time to learn your character. once you do that then the game starts getting fun. lts not a button masher like DOA. Frames play to much into the game where you must respect it or get pwned over and over by competent players.

 

I hate the way some individuals across other FG message-boards simply write off games with a "block button". The shallow ignorance never fails to astound me, as if VF is some kind of Mortal Kombat game lol

Breaking the spell of Ryu/Ken or Mishimas, and taking some of these hidebound fighting gamers out of their established comfort zones, is a big part of the challenge facing the... proselytization if you will, of Virtua Fighter outside of it's homeland.

 

Gah, listening to that was painful. Still remember the time I was in a room with 2 dudes who had just bought the game because it was cheap on psn. They couldn't do anything but rag on it.

"Why are there only 3 buttons? That's so gay. Even DOA has 4 or 5! This game is so stupid. Worst $15 I've ever spent!"

~sigh~ It doesn't matter how much good press VF gets, if gamers have that kind of attitude towards it, it'll never be as big as we all hope it will become...

 

There is more to learn in other fighters than VF mostly because most other fighters are deliberate with their characters and have more of them, meaning you have to know a lot more specifics than in VF. You can't mash in any game and get anywhere if you go up against someone who knows what they are doing.

Visually, yes they need to spice it up but that's about it. It did wonders for KOF XIII, despite it not being as versatile as 98UM.



Don't let people's opinions on VF bring you down. If they don't live in Asia, they suck at whatever game they play.

 

Srk, about VGAbest figting game reward :

 

The guy that made that video has over 500-1,000 matches he's played on his channel in games like SvC Chaos and Art of Fighting 2.

 

Yes sir. I always leave it up to my boy AcidGlow to provide videos for me to completely disagree with.

 

I could never get him to fight me in Real Bout Fatal Fury 2 back when he was playing it.
