i always knew sarah was a dirty girl.

BTW He would be down for the hitbox in VF and fully supports what I've been saying about execution barriers.

AND I QUOTE:
I want to make win based on right decisions. And because of that battle system in fightings still imperfect. Even in Virtua Fighter. If you wasn't able to press button in exact moment, and because of that you loose, the problem is not in you wrong decision. The game just set the task on reaction for you. Did you accomplished or failed combination – this is on what win depends. It would be better to attach sensor on gamer, so all his thoughts could be instantly and faultlessly implemented by character on screen. So then it will be not just battle of solutions, but a real fighting, and real in a good way, not thanks to blood and violence. For example, for this could be suitable sensors that measure Alpha-waves, and it's not a distant future, people already work successfully in such direction for a long time. There are people , for example, who have microchips that can control heart function.

Most people lack the hand eye Co-ordination for simple button press(es) and taps. The HitBox is an execution barrier as well.

Maybe Yu is working on an OR fighting game?

The hitbox just has a high barrier getting past the first stage but once you get past that your execution will increase at a fast rate. You're right though, it does require a high degree of coordination. Staggers are still difficult not because it's hard to do on hitbox but it's hard to coordinate the fingers.

For me, VF is about positioning, reactions AND decisionmaking. Not just decisionmaking.

Look at VF5 online. Reactions are taken out of the equation and playing is reduced to decisionmaking and guesswork. As a result most pros hate it.

While I applaud that Suzuki gave us VF in the first place, I absolutely do not like the idea of simplifying games.

Jenya Davidyuk (translator) asked by herself: Did he even invited you for a dinner later, in a gratitude?

Yu Suzuki *throw up a hands*

Great interview, thanks for the translation.
The fact that people can creat egames from assembler always amaze me as a dev.

That's my girl! For some reason, I feel proud reading this...

I could imagine one of her win poses in VF6 being her throwing back a shot of tequila while flipping Jacky the middle finger...

Now i understand why Sarah is blackstars waifu :3 he knows how to pick em'

He gave an interview to a Russian magazine? I'm impressed
By the way, "Strana Igr" translated from English means "GameLand". Here's how this magazine called for the world community. Correct news please

"We go back to fightings again and asking him about future of genre, what Yu Suzuki think should be changed? And again, he gave us unexpected answer"
"Modern fightings are too much hardcore, “maniacs”. And such maniacs fightings are limit the audience, and because of that, fewer people are playing, and at this rate genre can sink into oblivion. And so because of that I'm for a more simpler games."


I dunno, maybe we are our own worst enemies.....

I know what I want. The world is full of games aimed at casual people.

Agreed.,. but I fear the days of making games strickly or mostly for the hardcore might be coming to a close... And it appears, that we may have read more into VF than Yu Suzuki originally intended. If the translator was correct in using the phrase "hardcore, maniacs", that would indicate that Yu Suzuki is perhaps on a different page than some of the folks on VFDC. The tea leaves might suggest that any future version of VF would be even simpler (dumbed down?) than VF5FS in the name of reaching a wider audience.

Yu Suzuki's comment:

"at this rate genre can sink into oblivion."

is a pretty strong statement against catering to "hardcore, maniacs" ....

Im sure he is reffering to Super Smash
