Gonna take 3 hours or more...

LOL. Way more. I did a planned speed run and it took me upwards of eight gameplay hours and about 12 real hours. I skipped all cutscenes, found exploits against the AI, and used a second controller to boost the character specific ones. Command Training alone has the potential to take three hours, especially if you have trouble with Akira's 1-frame knee (which you have to do) and the VF characters' on hit moves in general. Pai is easy but Sarah has some tricky stuff and Akira has the potential show-stopper with the 1-frame knee. The DoA cast is relatively easy for the most part.

Lol wow its going to take some time then im not to worried about the command training since i come from a VF background but everything else sounds pretty time consuming.

If you can do Akira's one frame knee easily then you should have no issues with anything else in command training. When I had to start my save over, I actually got the knee on my first try. Rikuto was a witness. It was epic.

Nice one of the harder moves to perform in a fighting game andy my biggest concern at the moment is how well the game will end up playing online.

If my recent matches (as in just a few hours ago) are any indication, my earlier concerns were completely unfounded. I fought against Ikodomo from here and we're across the country from each other and the matches were very playable. Not perfect and maybe not quite up to SCV levels, but better than DoA4 and most other fighters online. Drastic improvement from the first few matches.

I wouldnt expect them to be one the level of SCV when your playing an opponent that far away but its very good news to hear the matches were playable at that distance. Hopefully things are getting better as far as online play is concerned but i wouldnt be against a patch that further improved the quality of online matches. What you just stated about improved online play just made the wait for this game painful again but for a good reason so i thank you.

Hope your enjoying the hell out of this game.

Side note (godDAMN am I fond of these): I unlocked the achievement for getting Alpha 152 and all titles just by getting Alpha. 1000 wins aside online, I'm getting the full 1000g in this game unless Survival gets the best of me. Again.

It's plausible that the achievement is just awkwardly worded. Perhaps it just wants you to unlock Alpha-152 and the titles bit is just giving you a hint on how to do it. Or maybe it's a glitch, which seems likely because all of the other achievements are pretty straightforward with their descriptions.

Btw, fuck survival.

I don't want to go through all 8 pages of the thread...Can anyone tell me how to unlock the VF characters? That's all I really want to unlock.

You need a file for VF5FS on your HDD for Akira and Sarah. Pai is just by getting many wins with those two online.

Excellent! Then I only have to unlock Pai by playing Akira/Sarah online. I'll have to practice some Akira/Sarah then (although I suck at those two...)

Seriously though, that would have been a great business move on Sega's part. "Sure your customers can play with our characters, just as as long as they buy our game".
