Getting rid/reworking juggling combos (stun system)

To improve the aesthetics of virtua fighter animation needs to be redone with the likes of motion matching along with juggling combos being removed - instead replaced with a "stun" system were critical launcher hits (set ups for juggling) leaves a person open for combos.

Motion matching is used in "the last of us part 2" and it looks awesome - Digital Foundry has a video on it. Take a quick Google. https://youtu.be/4i1WCW3B0x8

Essentially this stun system will work exactly like juggling combos do. But it'll look better and who knows maybe game play innovation can come out of it.

 

What you describe sounds like doa stun system and I hated it. Juggles are fine imo

 

Except it won't since the way AM2 will do it, will mean their interpretation won't be clunky. VF6 would use superior physics and even innovate on the punishing "combo" gameplay.

VF6 will never be popular if it doesn't innovate and then do it well. It'll be an improvement if they do it and do it right.

 

Innovation is fine. We have stuns. They are called plus frames and staggers.

 

Nyet. VF is fine.

A lack of slapped-on mechanics is what drawn me into the game. It doesn't need them to attract new players. That should be their choice alone.

Just make it prettier and simplify more things that will make the old men here rant and swing their canes. Maybe forget the ladder.

 

Well, with time vf has changed a lot. The combo system may change again with something that looks more "natural" to viewers. I would like to see more links like jacky's 6p+k into a p string. Also Kage and Eileen has that too.
Also something that really bugs me is the wake up mechanics which hasn't really changed since vf1

 

There's virtually nobody to play online, the franchise will die without new blood. The graphics have to be really pretty with sexy characters along with being superior.

We don't even have a new VF or even a remaster for god's sake, because the franchise isn't growing.

 

I agree, it's truly not an MMA simulator and it doesn't need to be, but it should be more like what arcade-racers are - taking all the cool stuff from the real world and mixing them with flashy stuff that adds to the fun.

 

That's what it is!

 

It could be that tiny bit better and more natural looking - we'd definitely win new fans.

Well I think they could take a leaf out of the Tekken book design wise.

Master Raven > Vanessa
Chun Li, Asuka, Xiaoyu > Pai, Eileen,
Kazumi > Aoi
Nina+Anna > Sarah

Personality wise the characters could use a bit of tweaking - besides Akira, Kage & Jean, they all seem pretty generic.

 

Lion is generic of what? And Jeffry? Aoi?

 

First, Why do u keep stating ur opinion as fact? IMO This whole discussion is stupid and it's a waste of time. It's like comparing apple's and oranges or marvel vs. DC. WASTE OF TIME.

Second, the Kazumi>Aoi and nina>Sarah is completely wrong considering Harada admitted he ripped them off the others.

Third, the only thing Raven (a blade ripoff) and Van have in common is that that their black. It would be more accurate if u compare Van to Mordok.

 

You leave Eileen out of this. She is just fine the way she is.

 

I find lion's voice work annoying irritating, but he's not too bad. Jeffrey - not a fan at all he seems to be arse. Aoi - looks a bit of joke appearance wise to consider her fighting.

 

Because I honestly believe if I was the lead designer, those are objective criticism to have in order to make the game a success thus continue to secure my job had I been in that position.

Not all sentiments/opinions are created equal and usually business realities prove this.

To me Virtua Fighter could stand to learn a lot from Tekken and Street Fighter about presentation and aesthetics, the hidden gem that is VF's gameplay could be shown/embraced to the world if it's done.

 

I can't argue with your sentiment but if I'm to be honest the smart money is not with Eileen remaining as she is.

Thinking out loud here:
I'd have her adopt some lucky Chloe traits, perhaps expanding her otaku charm. Given that she's from China - it'd be interesting expanding her lore. Maybe making her Hong Kongnese could be better.

 

So what ur saying is u would be a better game designer than Yu Suzuki.
