VF terms mega thread

Minor combo vs MC combo (in VF4E times) where different ones for Sarah's P,K jgl starter. It juggles on both minor and mayor countr hit, but on MC it juggles more high (it means you can connect FC,f+K,K only on MC, on minor you must go for another, not so powerful combo). But I cannot remember any other move which works like this...

 

I think the difference between minor counter launchers and normal hit launchers is a slight damage adjustment. I think minor counter = more damage than normal hit.

Unicorn is correct that a major counter launcher may float higher than a normal hit launcher. I do not think minor counter launchers float higher than normal hit launchers.

I have also heard that some moves launch only on MC (Major counter) and mC (Minor counter) and do not launch on normal hit.

 

AFAIK you are correct for all other launchers than that Sarah's K,P (VF4Evo)

 

I'm new to virtua fighter with VF5. Can anyone tell me when a counter hit happens and how I can tell it happens?

 

Counter hit is situation when you hit opponent in the moment he is going to hit you. It means you hit him during animation of his attack - like in the moment his leg starts moving forward etc.

Counter hit you can recognize easily - by watching the light effect of hit. White color means normal hit, other colors are different counterhits (comonly you will see yellow, but fe blue from side counter...)

 

I was under the impression that Abare was the ability to deal damage off of various "random" attacks. Meaning characters that can land good damage off of many easily landable moves would have good Abare and characters who can only get good damage by landing hits with situational moves or requiring special setups would have bad abare.

 

The term Abare applies to players and characters, there is a bit of a difference in the meaning between the two.

When concerning players it means a person who prefers to attack from a disadvantaged situation. This usually goes hand in hand with very aggressive playstyle and constant "in your face" exchanges (as well as a hefty bit of counter hits, I'd imagine).

When concerning characters an Abare character is defined by loads of fast moves who prefererably have little disadvantage on block, allowing you to spam along quick moves to high heaven.

Also, buttonmashing is an extreme form of abare since you take nothing in account at all and just keep attacking.

 

I'll have to disagree and say that buttonmashing is the Lowest form of abare, because there is not real thought and strategy involved, and even if there is, it's minimal.

Ohsu Akira and Chibita both have Abare play styles, as do a few of my comrades down here. Abare is a legit style of play... albeit VERY frustrating /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/wink.gif

 

What does DE mean?

 

Hhhmmm, when I said ultimate I wasn't aiming for the 'best' meaning... More the 'extreme' meaning, let's edit that one.

 

DE = dashing elbow (Akira/Jeffry f,f+P). See also SDE - super dashing elbow (Akira f,f,f+P)

 

I've seen it used like this over on the Dustloop forums for guilty gear. I think it's just worth accepting that the usage is quite different between the two games. There was a reasonable discussion of abare back in the link I posted earlier too.

 

Also, is there an accepted shorthand for 0 frame throw? Whenever I use tsukami it tends to confuse people.

 

Jeff's f,f+P is not DE, simply because it is not elbow attack but normal fist attack /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/laugh.gif

 

Dude. Refer to Jeffry's command list for f,f+P name and class. Preferably before posting.

 

I agree. I'm new to this game and even though I have no problem pronouncing japanese words, since I don't speak the language memorizing the terms will be way harder. I appreciate this thread though.

 

Yo, this is DancingFighterG. I was looking at Brad's move list and there is a category that is on the movelist called Act. What is Act? Too clarify it one of the actions that you can sort the movelist by.

 

Yo, this is DancingFighterG. So pretty much since P+K has an active frame of 6 it's good because the effect of the elbow last to counter quick hits but because the active is so long the move leaves itself open to reversals and stuff. Is that a correct thought process?
