Virtua Fighter MODS

Big shout out to all fellow Virtua Fighters!

First off, who is upset with the amount of options/tweaks/modes there are available, when playing VF online??

I've had the following thoughts/ideas floating in my head since playing VF FS for the last six months or so and would love to hear what others think. Please note if some of these already exist in other fighters, go easy on me as VF is the only fighter i play online.


bLIND pLAY / Health bars not visible during play.
Who thinks this would not be super AWESOME! All of a sudden you win/lose unexpectedly or the complete opposite when you think you had your opponent and he is still standing.

vIRTURA sTREAK /Winning points only when a certain number of games/matches are won in a streak, or picture this:
No rounds, no matches, just one vIRTUA sTREAK match. A chosen amount of time and the game just plays on and on with no stops, and streak points are given every time time you drain your opponent’s health. Health bars are replenished for both fighters immediately without any stoppages to gameplay and your max streak is recorded. When the time ends the person with the highest streak wins! Many variations of this streak point system could be used.

bEAT tHE cLOCK
Much the same as the above game mode, but instead of using the streak point system, winning could be purely based on who wins the most points before the timer ends.


vIRTUA dAMAGE zONES
Arenas would be divided into x parts, three for this example. A center area which damage would be normal for both players and two further zones, which players attacks will damage their opponent twice as much. There could be player specific zones too, such as one zone damaging one opponent twice as much where’s the complete opposite would occur to the other player, say only 50% damage is taken. Basically each player would have their safe zone which they would try to force their opponent into. I can see this working really well with the ability to increase the max health bars to the 1000 range or more for a more epic battle. A variation of this would likely require the zones to temporarily shut off forcing advantage player to resume in the normal zone, as fighter A would choose to remain in their advantage zone after achieving a lead, although this could create for some exciting matches with regular health bars and probably higher round counts, five or above.

vIRTUA sTATISTICS
Wouldn’t it be great to have all the match statistics continually recorded during play for reference and bragging rights.
Match count - Round count - Total Damage - Throw count - Round Streaks - Match Streaks - Damage Streak - Biggest Combo Damage. Is this not something players would not want to see incorporated???

mORE cONTROL oVER oPTIONS
Does anyone else wish they could increase the round count beyond 5? Have health meters into the thousands? Giving further options which would practically cost nothing to implement? Why is this not available?

vIRTUA aTTITUDE
How about some added attitude to the win quotes, such as ones specific to how the game was won or when a huge streak of games has been achieved, a really cool win quote is said with added KAPOW!. Could even be a little mk fatality like, with some form of input being needed to trigger certain stuff.

tHE mOST oUTRAGEOUS iDEA yET?
How bout the option to type in your own win quotes and your fighter says it with their voice, much like those proggys that you type something and it voices it out. I think this would be pretty cool, but i can see it seeming a little lame also, but then again playing virtua barbie outfit customizing must of seemed pretty strange when fighters introduced it.

If you took the time to read all or most of it. A BIG VIRTUA THANKS to you!

Love to hear everyone's thoughts and if they have any ideas themself

 

I hope you never work for Sega.

 

I don't like any of these ideas. Just seems unnecessary and uninteresting. I don't think VF needs mods. They would be better off making a story mode that includes cutscenes.

Having a quest mode and an adaptive A.I. would be cool though. On the internet side, allow us to see what room matches are currently in progress, make it harder for people to rank up so they cant play hunters thousands of times to get a few levels, and if someone pulls make them lose part of their rank bar.

Give replay mode a fast forward, rewind, and pause button. Also, make saving replays much faster.

 

the turn off health bar option is not a bad idea, mortal kombat did that but vf could add brusing and cloths rips but nothing too bloody like mk and this will not alter the gameplay of vf either.

 

i actually like these ideas. it could definatly give VF more options and could also be fun with friends
don't know why YOMI is being so rough i like the ambition!

 

These ideas sound better.

 

Bring back the slow-mo replay option from Evo, and maybe include items that give your character their old model like on 4/Evo with the VF1 models! Those would be neat touches to me.

 

I like your wiquote ideas!

I'll add in that we should have subtitles for the characters that don't speak English.

Oh, and character specific intro/winposes too!

 

good to see people giving their thoughts. i think some new additions to the vf franchise is essential for long term success. Sega needs to be innovative with some new additions to the series that could bring new players to the series. The ideas ive put forth above are ones i see being easily implemented to the existing game. Heres some futher ideas ive had, let me know what you think.

VIRTUA BETTING
The ability to place bets on online matches, with some form of odds set based on ranks of fighters. Players could decide how much virtua currency they would wager on each match. I see this being of strong value to people spectating matches, as it would give them some added input to the match, and definitely increasing there interest in the fights, much like betting on a sport.

CINEMA MODE
Both the xbox 1 and ps4 will have a heavy emphasis on recording play footage and sharing this footage with friends and the gaming community.
How bout giving the player some camera control options and special effects to really bring their fight replays to life. I can imagine users could create some really stunning vids. May even influence others to buy the game after seeing some of the creations.

One more small additon which i didnt mention in the original post, but i think it would be really cool to have some different scoring systems, something similar to tennis for example. Having a Five set match for epic long battles or quick one set matches for some quick fun. Switching sides between rounds and tossing a coin to decide who starts on which end, might be pushing though.

again thanks to those who read and put some thought to it all.

 

Custom win quotes (text or otherwise) don't work in fighting games because stupid people will always lace them with profanity and generally distasteful things directed at other players. I'm sure all developers already know this, which is why this feature has never been implemented in any fighting game I'm aware of.

Your only idea that I don't think is terrible is being able to adjust health, time, and round count as you can with other games, but I'm an advocate of sticking to default settings anyway, so... yeah. I guess being able to customize the camera or add effects in uploaded replays is an okay idea, but the emphasis on viewing replays is usually to appreciate the gameplay-related decisions the players made, not to be dazzled at how well someone can sugarcoat their match in an awkward attempt to make it look like a kung fu movie. The novelty would die off pretty fast, I wager.

 

I want a mod that gives us the april fools joke trailer movelist. give me jean throwing fireballs!

 

ill have to save up for a a copy of sega gaga. Japanese language lessons here i come!

 

VFR Stages!
