1. Hey Guest, looking for Virtua Fighter 5: Ultimate Showdown content? Rest assured that the game is identical to Virtua Fighter 5: Final Showdown so all current resources on here such as Command Lists with frame data, Combo Lists and the Wiki still apply. However, you can expect some VF5US specific changes to come soon!

      Sorry for the delay on this (been dealing with other VFDC issues), but my priority right now is to get the Wiki up and running again. I've almost finished the VF5FS system guide, and then I'll be creating basic templates for others to populate.

      Once that's done, my priority will be to either integrate the Combo database into the new forum framework, or, work out a way to authenticate users in order to edit the database. My preference is the former, but if too troublesome, will go with the latter.

      For now, I hope that prospective "specialists", with the use of unlimited editing time on posts, have been doing what they said they would in the character forums.

      I was wondering if unlimited editing was unique to me or just a global change.

      Myke! Wanted to ask a couple of questions about the new command lists so figured this would be the best place.

      1. Can we get a URL column so we can link vids of the combos? Doesn't have to be used by everyone but I think it'd be handy having a basic vid next to each combo to show inputs etc.

      2. Can we get two command lists per character pleasey? I think it would be best to have a basic combo list and a max damage one for each character, guess I don't have to explain the benefits of having both.

      Sorry if i'm an hassle :p

      Feck, you mention "command list" a number of times but are you really referring to the "combo lists"?

      *brain fart

      I meant combos, I actually noticed the second one as I was typing but forgot to edit it o_O

      Feck, thought as much! ;)

      Great suggestions!

      The URL column is easy enough to do.

      But as for the basic vs max damage lists, I had always envisaged for the combo lists to have more filtering options such that you could choose to show:
      • Basic combos: only show combos that work against all characters
      • Max Damage: only show maximum damage versus selected character
      This is pretty timely in that I've recently got user authentication for the Combo Lists working against the new forum on my local development environment. I'll look at implementing these suggestions and roll them out to VFDC soon.

      Ahhh, being able to filter the combos like that sounds better than having two pages per character :)

      Thanks for looking into the URL column idea Myke.

      Got the functionality working, now just tidying up the front-end.

      The way it works is the Filter now lets you select "Versus Character" as an option:

      vs-chara-1.jpg

      Then the remaining selection boxes will change to show a single character drop-down list:

      vs-chara-2.jpg

      From the character select list, if you choose "All", then it will only show combos that work for all characters (this is the Basic Combos suggestion by Feck):

      vs-chara-3.jpg

      Otherwise, if you choose a character, then it will only show the combos that work versus that character (example vs Goh shown):

      vs-chara-4.jpg

      The last example is how I've chosen to implement Feck's "max damage" suggestion. That is, you filter on your character of interest, and then you can sort on the "Dmg" column to easily see the maximum damage combo for that character.

      Hope you guys will find this useful. Once I finish tidying up the front end, I'll be rolling this out to VFDC along with opening up the combo lists for edit by the (yet to be announced) "Character Specialists".

      I'm willing to offer input for Akira. I've been using him since I got serious about VF in vanilla VF5 (500+ games in vanilla and nearly 1000 in FS) and although that seems recent, I can execute all his moves very well (I still haven't perfected the new SPoD but I can do it 4/5 times 1P side and about 2 or 3/5 times on 2P side) but the Knee I can execute without fail and CD moves are no problem as well. I have explored a lot of his combo potential against the weight classes and more specifically, combos which work with specific characters and not others (e.g.: Combo works again JK but not against Brad).

      I'm also exploring other characters like Goh, Wolf and a bit of Aoi so I can offer some input for those but I don't really know strategy for them as well as I do for Akira.

      Thanks for the offer, but requests have long since closed. I'll create a new thread should more or new applicants be required.

      If you have anything to share about Akira then post it up in his subforum in dojo. As for the combo's post whatever you have in the combo thread and I'll take a look at it.
