New to VFDC? Introduce yourself here.

Wow, many new challengers... Welcome.

 

Hello. I'm just new to this site and also new to playing VF competitively. Though I have been playing VF casually since VF2. I'm from the Philippines.

I'm using Lei-Fei as my main. /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/grin.gif

 

Hi I'm new to this site, GT: MEKAHINEYHOE I used Brad and Jeffry.
I'm having a hard time with this system if anyone wants to have a
run hit me up.

 

Hello, I'm relatively new to VF - I mean I've played almost all of them but always casually. I played the original VF, and bought VF4 Evo for PS2, but got frustrated with it and ended up trading it in.

However, I decided to buy VF5 Online for Xbox 360 and am having a lot of fun with it, but I'm having some difficulty getting past "button-mashing" style of play.

Perhaps my favorite character is Eileen, but one thing I have problem with is the execution of some of her moves. For example, some of her best moves involve the qcf or qcb movement. However, trying to use the d-pad on the wireless Xbox 360 controller to execute these moves is very iffy at best.

What do you guys use for control? Should I use the thumbstick instead? Is there a particular controller with a better d-pad for fighting games? Should I pony up the dough for an arcade stick that would offer the "authentic" experience?

Also, what do you recommend for "training techniques" (for lack of a better word) - I'm playing through the quest, but seems like like mashing is still doing the job too well so I don't feel like I'm getting any better. I also tried playing Online, but it seems like I'm either getting my ass handed to me or I get involved in a mashfest with another new player.

 

Hindi ka naman "button masher", no?

Anyways, welcome to VFDC!

 

No, I'm not. I've invested a lot of time to learn to play it competitively and seriously. Unfortunately, we don't have any VF arcades here. People here prefer Tekken more. /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/frown.gif And I also got the PS3 version of VF5 so there's no online play for me.


Thanks for the welcome anyways.

 

Hey what's up guys! It's great seeing other Filipino players playing VF. I'm in NJ. Pai_fan where in Vegas are you? I have some friends who moved there from NJ a few years ago. Baka kilala mo sila /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/laugh.gif

Jigsaw, do you know Lehman and/or Kane_warhead?

 

I'm not new to VF(been playing since the good 'ol saturn days),
but I'am new to this site. I live in Watertown,WI. 28 years old.
I play on PS3. VF5 is the only game I own because I hate FPS.
Taka needs to come back! you don't know what you got till it's
gone! Whats the word on the EVO 2k North tournament in 2008. Is
VF5 going to be there? If so what are the dates and when/where do
I register to compete?
I came here to become a better player.

 

tekken is a kiddie cartoon, I played VF3 in the arcade years ago.I've never seen a VF4 or 5 machine in the states though.Shame...

 

Just found about this site about a week back and this is like heaven I can't wait to play more of you guys. Most of all KingofCarnage, his Akira is a demon.

Goh player btw

 

woahh! glad to see more filipinoes are getting in the action... any way im not that new here... i just want to introduce my existence in the community im "SouthEast" and i've played fighter's megamix 1st which made me interested in vf, after that we bought the pc ver. of vf2 and long since i've never grew tired of vf and became... well a fan of the series.. my main is aoi(i can boastly say i'm good w/ her hehe) and sub is brad (can't say the same for him though but am willing to painstakingly improve) and i hope the vf community here in the Philippines expand considering how tekken entized the population here....well i got 3 brothers to play with.... well if any of you fello filipinoes would like to spar w/ me? i am willing to spend an extra peso for travelling expense

 

I live more in the Southwest, in Mountain's Edge. Wala akong kilalang VFer's cuz I only play with the 360. I'm not too big in the arcades.

 

Sayang! I wanted to play more pinoys in VF...trade-in mo na lang yung PS3 then buy a 360.

 

Well I'm just new here. But the kane_warhead name sounds familiar to me.

Well I really hope the VF community expands here in the Philippines.

 

Hello all! This is my first time with any Virtua Fighter, and I hope to improve enough to have fun online. No real competitive goals.
Picked up Brad cause he's badass and his profile is funny. Also looked at Wolf and Blaze since I take pro wrestling classes but I sucked with both.

 

New to VF, hoping to get up to speed.

Seeing as how Myke was _almost_ good enough to beat me at Virtual On back in the day I reckon his site might have a few tips worth thinking about.
