    The frame advantage on a Back Turned opponent is 3 frames or 3 frames disadvantage if you are back turened.

    What is the frame/disadvantage for Side Turned situations?

    The BradyGames Virtua Fighter Strategy Guide states the following. Except for situations where backtuns are use offensively, its generally a bad thing to have your back to the enemy. From here, any action started will take an extra 3 frames to execute.



    I presume that the strategy guide is erroneous. If backturned situations are 3, then side turns situations have to be 1 or 2 which seems too minimal.

    The 6 for Back Turns and 3 for side turns make more sense.

    Thanks for the clarification.

    No problem, and yeah, the BradyGames guide is incorrect on this point.

    Nearly everything in their guides is incorrect or it's written and layed out in such a way it makes the guide useless.

    I agree with you. The information is so impcomplete that you get more confused than understanding the game. I recommend to everyone to save your money on this pooly written book.

    Just read the
    1. Frames Guide
    2. System guide one and two.

    Complete and very clearly written.

    The only issue I have with VF is that you have to learn every charachter to be an advanced player. Very time consumng.
