VF4 EVO @ SVGL

    Well... they got it yesterday (test version)...

    Good news and bad news.

    The good news is... they got it yesterday lol.

    The bad news is... It's set to super hard, 2/3 rounds, and 3 tokens to play. Sega of America is seriously retarded. They jack their test machines up to the worst possible case, then say "oh... people in the USA aren't interested in VF" when no one plays it.

    If anyone from SEGA is reading this... stop being so fucking stupid and put the game on REAL settings. Then you might actually get some solid feedback. Even if it was only 2/3 and 2 tokens... that would be acceptable. The combination of 2/3 rounds, super hard difficulty, and 3 tokens is just too much. Way to go.

    Oh yeah... I forgot to mention the monitor is completely fucked up too. Yeah... way to test a game.

    Sounds just like the London version. It is indeed foolish. Over here it's a pound for one game. So in the past three weeks I've spent over £45.00. The Arcade owners don't understand that if you make the game more appetising they'll receive more customers and revenue.

    tragic: The game is probably set to normal - the CPU is much, much stronger than the CPU in version C. It's very normal to not go through the game on one credit. That's mainly b/c they don't want the mission mode to be super easy to do.

    Also, for 2 of 3 rounds -- I agree, but I'm sure they're anticipating large crowds, and want to give everyone a chance. Even with those settings in Japan, there was always a long line at the beta tests.

    BWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAA!! Paul Paul Paul, you just have no idea what VF in American arcades are like these days. Compared to Japan, it's practically a ghost town.

    This is definitely true, especially at SGHL, most the people there play MVC2 and SC2..I went to SGHL every day for a week and I've seen maybe two or three people besides me play it.

    Okay -- ya got me. I guess I've been spoiled, eh?
    WEll, Sega has done much dumber stuff. See my many posts on their awful marketing skills --- no doubt, the reason the DC died an unfortunate death.

    Actually, for test units they usually do. The machine's Sega's to keep there or to pull at their will. SGVL just provides the space. While SGVL gets the revenues from the use of tokens, I dunno if any money changes hands (i.e., SGVL paying Sega anything to have the machine there).

    The machine I'm talking about is at SVGL in norcal. Supposedly SHGL has it also... in socal. Anyway... I saw the test data screen. Only 65 plays since it came in. Longest game 9 mins, shortest game 53 seconds. about 15 VS plays, and 50ish vs CPU plays. If it was on 3/5 or 2 tokens or both, I woulda played it 50+ times myself on the first day alone. 2 day total... 65 or so played games... lol!

    Fuck Sega of America for being so stupid.

    Also... I have a camera... what do you want to see specifically? Honestly... recording from the screen would suck... basically because the cabinet that VF EVO is in... is HORRIBLE. The monitor is all washed out (even though the cabinet looks all new and stuff).

    Mad presentation points.

    even tho it'll be shitty... there's currently zero movies of brad or jeffry. Seeing brad just doing anything at all would be cool, seeing jeff's new stuff would be nice.

    Beyond that, new moves, (sarah's new flamgingo shitz) throws (wolf got three or four new/reanimated) , and reversal animations (aoi vs. headbutts) would be nifty. And of course vs. matches if you can talk anyone into playing on camera.

    I don't thinks anyone has said it's at SHGL. I'll be going there myself about a week from Wednesday to see.

    Heh, spoke too soon.

    Just found out that VF4Evo IS at SHGL. Catherine and I will be going there tomorrow. Southern California people see the new SHGL thread in Jamboree.

    Well, given the news on settings at SHGL I could be wrong. Perhaps someone (Jason/Jackybrothas) could talk to the management at SVGL and find out if they can't change the settings?

    Of course, this doesn't really matter unless someone actually _plays_ the game... (grumbling about $5 of tokens spent against the CPU... where is everyone?)

    Re: Finally!

    Hi, Haward! Playing Evo??
    In Japan (June) I touched Gou just a little bit, so I do not remember anything. uhu... (I intensely played Brad, but I do not remember about that either.)
    Anyway, will you play evo in this weekand??
    I am just thinking about the arcade on this Friday, so
    can you tell me how the setting was?
    When the last time I went there, I could not even execute a low punch.
    Thank you !!
