To JEFF-MARU

Hey, Jeff.
If you want me to translate the questions into Japanese, you can write to me here. Then, I'll write back to you while you are n LA.

HIRO

 

Hiro, sorry for the late reply. I went to my friend's play and we had a party afterwards...damn it took a long time.

Here are the questions...there aren't many since I'm guessing he would have to write the answers.

1) For VF3 the uu/dd system was compared with the E button system, with AM2 deciding to go with the E button system. Why the change now?

2) Is there any differences in 3D movement between VF3 and VF4?

3) Do throws have execution time or are they still 1-frame as in 3?

4) What type of gameplay do you see high level and hardcore gamers playing in VF4?

5) Would you say there is a conscious thought by AM2 to make VF4 more similar to more commercially successfull fighting games on the console like Tekken, SC and DOA2?

6) Will Taka be in the game?

7) Will the arcade version of VF4 in the U.S. have the card feature? (He may have already answered this question yesterday, but just in case...)

8) Is there anything specific you want to accomplish with the console version of VF4?

 

Hey, Jeff. I wasn't sure what console meant. I assumed that the word console meant game machines at home and I translated 5 and 8. If not, let me know and I will correct it.

1) For VF3 the uu/dd system was compared with the E button system, with AM2 deciding to go with the E button system. Why the change now?

Here, I will write all the questions in Japanese. If you can get access to a computer, then download Japanese IME at Microsoft HP.

Hiro, it worked, I got the Japanese translation perfect. Now I only have to approach Suzuki......

 

I couldn`t get to him, argh...probably good thing too, since I`d feel bad as I couldn`t get my hands on a tape recorder.
