Which character do you plan to learn?

Hey VFers -- take the few seconds to fill out the below poll. I want to get a good sense of the distribution of characters used here at VFDC. The answers will also dictate what I will try to write/test stuff for; so for example, if it turns out there are a lot of Aoi players I will do my best to take what I understand about Aoi from the Black Book and video clips and write about it here. I hope other VFDC members (especially those who can actually translate Japanese) could do the same!

Please regard the choices as characters you plan to play competitively with (i.e. in gatherings) and not just to mess around with. For me those characters right now are Kage, Lau, and Goh.

 

Hmmm... only one...

Aoi, I mean 13i mdp move that doesn't get sabaki'd by Shun and a reversal for everything (not worth the risk, but I don't plan to win, I plan to be stylish and mC'd).

If I get discouraged: Akira, Goh, Wolf (in that order)

----Read reason for this-----

Oooo! Ooooo! More Aoi/Goh/Wolf/Jeffry points!

 

For me it's Aoi, Sarah, and Eileen.

 

Can I put down a list of potential characters? I have yet to play the ps3 version. I'm trying to see when my lan gaming center will get it so I can play it there. I have several I want to test, but do you want me to wait until I test, or just put down my "interested" list?

 

That's a pretty even spread, I like.

 

Damn, Eileen?

You guys want to go to jail or something? She's like 16!!!


LMAO, Just joking around. Strings for the win.

 

For me it's Goh (well... of course /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/wink.gif ). Not having a chance to play him in FT, I was shocked at how different he fights in VF5 - and amazed at all these sweet "new" techniques he can now pull off (yay for seoi nage and the back-turned oouchi!).

So that's my main. As a sidekick - Sarah, just for a change (I'm not a combo person, but she's is cool - and her style makes a nice contrast to our friendly neighbourhood J6's errand boy).

Fun fact: Eileen intro quote can have a meaning "I'm young, so don't lick/taste me, okay?". I wonder if that's intentional /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/wink.gif

 

Oh yes, I'd definitely like to (re)learn Goh for VF5. Seeing as I've never played VF4FT, I have much things to pick up on since then, like his Basara combos.

 

I have to say "El Blaze" I'm a Big time Wolf Player(Since VF2) So, it only make sense. I've been telling myself to learn how to use Shun Di for the past few years, but he just scares me, LOL. So far, I'm learning El Blaze, Akira(Bringing it back) and Lei fei.

 

I'm a bit surprised to see the low level of Pai interest. She's an easy character to learn and has all the tools necessary to be good--more people should give her a chance.

 

She is quite boring (Like her father imho).

I'm surprised to see all the vile Jacky fans come out of the woodwork...

YEAH!!!! (I said it)

 

Goh and Lei Fei, wanna try out those new stances

 

Main:

kage
Lei-Fei

secondary:
Goh
Eileen

 

She's my secondary character

And she's much more interesting than she used to be. Movement with her is fun as hell.

 

I agree with what Ice-9 says.

Pai is fast, easy to play, has all the tools that VF offers like sabaki, inashi, reversal. Very very complete and strong character.

 

Only Aoi and Eileen.

Okay, reason why I choose/chose Aoi, is because I like her elegent and graceful fighting style. It's really fluent and almost like a dance the way she cancels stirngs and etc. Oh, and her reversals own.

I'm choosing Eileen simply because of her mocking/obnoxious monkey style, it's pretty damn unique too. Oh and, because she's cute ^^

 

I plan on using Pai as my main. I also plan on using Aoi and El Blaze.

 

I'm surprised there's an overwhelming amount of interest in Goh.

 

^He's just too cool not to like lol. Problem is, he's extremely tough for beginners to learn him against actual people. Playing the CPU makes you feel so good with him till you fight actual players lol.

 

^lol yeah,Goh looks too cool not to play with.+ i hear he's alot better in VF5.
