One thing I've noticed, there seems to be a lot of players using GOH, wonder if this is because of Fedor and grappling in general getting loads of publicity from MMA.
I doubt it, I think its because he has that dark horse/emo look hence people think he may be a power character and he is in the right hands though I will always be a faithful Akira/Kage man myself

He looks like a frankenstein creation.

If you see it moving it's a lot better. But it's definitely a love it or hate it game.
Check out these badasses throw down.
But the game isn't really about the graphics, what they're doing is really complicated. If you think that a leg kick takes 3 frames to initiate, then 2 hit frames, then four recovery frames when you can't do anything, if your oponent blocks that kick then initiates an attack that only takes 3 frames to get to the hit frame you can't block the attack.
These crazy dudes memorize the frame data for there chosen character and as much of the others as possible. Seriously dude, this game is as deep as videogames get.

Haha, yeah, memorizing a sequence is as deep as computer games get... More like an example of how shallow games can be.
Adapting, creating new strategies and tactics, manipulating your opponent is an example of the depth of games.

I was thinking that too. They dont look very PS3.
On the contrary, they look very PS3.

You don't know anything about the subject you're arguing about.
If you want I can talk about the mental side of the game, and the creative thinking behind strategies, just that if you want to even be in a position to employ creativity you will need to digest more technical information than any other game you can list.
Again, you don't know anything about this subject.

I'd have to agree the Virtua fighter series has been extemely popular in Japan for many reasons they infact used to hold a tournament called the "iron man" where they pit some of the best VF players against each other the winner would beat something like 100+ (most really good players as well) players to be declared the best I remember them doing a show on Gamesmaster (way way back when it aired on channel 4) where the extremely skilled japanese chap obliterated all players he faced even the best player in the UK was made to look like an amatuer
There IS alot to VF than just punching and kicking every part of the game is technical right down to blocking, things like faking a kick then quickly pressing block before the leg is outstretched means you end up blocking instead of actually kicking ever tried a juggle in VF? it is harder than you think.

Remember the end? the UK's finest was also using Kage and managed to beat him the first round then rd2+3 the jap just made our finest seem like a newb lol I remember Dominick diamond saying something to the effect of "so how do you feel about the talent and players you have faced here?"
and the champ replied something like "I can fight another 100 right now"

Haha, yeah, memorizing a sequence is as deep as computer games get... More like an example of how shallow games can be.
frame data is the time it takes for a move to execute and recover from, and judging from that determines which moves leave u at a disadvantage, which moves are safe, unsafe, which moves that are high and low priority etc.
fighting games run at a constant 60 frames per second and there are even moves that require pinpoint timing and can only be executed within two frames. when was the last time you've ever had to perform a command within 2/60 of a second?
not that i know much about VF but a single jab in tekken consists of either 8 frames or 10 frames depending on the character and considering there's about 100 moves for every character each with their own frame data then mastering one single character in VF can be a whole science in itself with different mixup tactics, traps, properties etc etc etc.
as a tourney tekken player i know full well about this and to be honest i'd suggest u don't talk about stuff u clearly have absolutely no idea about since FPS or RTS games or whatever crap are infinitely easier to play than being good at a high level fighting game.
"memorizing a sequence" in a fighting game as u so nicely put it would be the equivalent to knowing the absolute basics like "tanks are good for destroying buildings" in an RTS or "this gun has a secondary fire button" in an FPS.
not really sure about the frame window(how much time u have to escape from the moment ur grabbed) but escaping throws are 1 for 1+3, 2 for 2+4 and 1+2 for most command throws(like f,f+1+2).
people train themselves by watching how the hands stretch out before attempting a throw escape. i call those people freaks with eagle eyes .
if it's a 1+3 throw the left hand is stretched further out than the right hand... vice versa for 2+4 throw and for command throws both hands are stretched out equally. the frame window is shorter on side throws and backthrows are nonescapable. also, good players never use f+1+3 or f+2+4 to grab because the arms just stretch further ahead and it's so obvious.
chain throws like king's or nina's are escaped the same way.. either 1,2 or 1+2. basically anybody who says chain throws are cheap just have no idea what to press and are basically noobs.
now throw escaping in VF is said to be a bitch since there's virtually NO animation that shows when you'll be thrown and the frame window is said to be even shorter than in tekken's. all u can REALLY do is know how ur opponent plays and anticipate his most used throws in a given situation.. for instance after a tech trap or whatever.
anyways throw escapes in tekken is something ALOT of good tekken players can't be consistent in... for me like 90% of the time i just guess what button to press. can't imagine what kind of hell it must be for good Vf players.
I've never really had a problem avoiding throws personally just duck + 1 infact most things can be countered by duck +1 especially throws then its just a case of WS+4,4 (I play as hwoarang go figure)
I'd say im pretty good at Tekken actually I started playing since the original release, however I played hard till T4 I just couldnt devote as much time into 4 and 5 as I'd hoped, dont get me wrong im no Jang Iksu but I can still hold my own

this game is so pish .. i mean its that bad it makes tekken 2 feel good to play
wtf why do these guys even bother only good beatem up is tekken rest are either
button bashers or just feel & play like crap
virtual fighter 5 = rubbish
DOA = Rubbish
tekken tag & onwards are all sooo much better
& i paid £40 for this crap lol time to pop it on ebay me thinks
Why is it rubbish?, specifically. If you don't like the game personally then fair enough, it's a subjective opinion about a piece of entertainment. But if you're going to try and claim it's rubbish you'ld better be able to back it up with an informed opinion.
Have U tried it ? .. very limited moves like DOA U could more than likely beat the ai with 2 moves .. the atmosphere of the game is really poor as well .. it just does not feel like a
complete game .. i mean i get more enjoyment out of playing a game as old as tekken
than i do out of virtual fighter 5 & thats just been released ..
Also the characters are like cardboard they just dont move like they do in tekken..
really id rather play the spectrum version of street fighter than this
this is an experts fighting game and as such feels extremely dry to many people.
sega managed to create a deep and very balanced fighting engine as opposed to tekken/doa/soul calibur.
the downside is that it's just not very fun and accessible unlike the others. big part of the reason for me is the lack of flashy stuff(when i land a powerful hit the opponent just float a little as opposed to other games where he would prob roll 10 feet away) and content that's not gameplay related(stories, ending movies, character personality etc etc.).
this game was never made to appeal to the casual crowd(which i'm assuming ur part of).
also there's about the same amount of moves for each character in VF as there are in tekken.. possibly more or less.
Ironic that high level Tekken players end up playing a low frame technical poke based game because the goodlooking strings are too unsafe but it definitely appeals to casual players much more as well. there's a thread on VF.com about why it doesn't appeal to new players funnily enough.
