[EMPEROR_COW]

Hi there,

I made a new tutorial on VF5FS Sarah
Link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_fFGofSdaes

This video is meant to shed some light on the different ways Sarah can transition from one stance to another, as well as how to attack from a particular stance and stay in that particular stance after the attack.

the stances covered:
- Switch step
- Flamingo
- Back Roll Escape
- Step
- Forward Slide
- Backward slide
- Back Turn
- Moonsault
*BONUS : (Backward Flamingo and Backward Moonsault)

I hope this information provided is understandable, enjoyable and useful.
Thank you.

(By the way, There is a lot more planned in the works. Expect something hopefully as soon as next week if all goes well. )

Nice vid, does exactly what it say on the tin.

ggs to NinjaCW. As soon as I saw the gamertag I thought "Oh shit! I'm in for it now!" and panicked. Your Sarah was a beast. It was the first good Sarah I faced and I felt like I couldn't do anything to stop you.

On another note, I saw a Jeffrey player online yesterday for the first time. I honestly forgot he was even in the game, guess everyone else did too.

If PSN would ever let me add funds to my wallet I'd play the fuck out of this game...

Here's the offline casual stream archive from VF5 sessions at UGS: http://www.twitch.tv/ugslive/b/326617056

Lot of character variety even though first hour and a half are two same players, one in particular Kenny got 16th at EVO (GO MASS!) Also got an hours worth of KOF13.

I've been missing out on your streams, Gill. I will try to watch the next one.

 

[RoboJoe]

Gill, you should do another online fsd stream. It was fun watching the people from here battle it out.

My interpretation of this video:

Fuudo: DRINK........Oh you want to stand over there.......DRINK, DRINK, DRINK, DRINK, DRINK, DRINK

Ryan Hart: I'm gonna run and throw you

Fuudo: Ryan plz (troll face)

tks for all the vids guys, really helping me understand the game better. After a bit of reading about the basics, I blasted to Defender and Veteran Rank on PSN, but since then, I've been bouncing up and down in the same bracket, and it has been really discouraging. You know that feeling you have where you truly "FEEL" better than your opponent but still lose anyway? I realized how lacking my defense was, and it's a really strange transition for me coming from SF where you just have to hold back to block, downback for crouching, and only worry about X-ups after Knockdowns. Being good defensively takes a bit more effort here...

I main Lion and Jean, but also like Bryants (especially Sarah, she seems really unstoppable in the right hands) so anyone on PSN that's good, please hit me up for sparring. Once I get going, I have some decent mix-ups, and I don't really play too predicable, but my game won't excel if I don't work on defensive options (guarding well with high-lows, throw escapes, wake-up defending etc..) help!

If any of you guys missed the stream of VF at Summer Jam, check it out. Some amazing play from some amazing players yesterday.

Also, here's a great FT10 money match with Cozby and Chief Flash.

I have VF5FS for the PS3. Been a while since I've played the game. Still love it.

Now that I am done traveling to the per-release DOA events. I can get back to playing this great game again.

Hey...we can play tomorrow at night if you want. My Lei-Fei it's begun to rust.

 

[Blackula]

If anyone wants to play, hit me up on XBL at BlackulaReturns or PSN at Blackula-VFDC.

I just moved and now my connection will be wireless, unfortunately. If I can find my wireless adapter (I miss placed it) I will look you up.

If anyone wants to play, hit me up on XBL at BlackulaReturns or PSN at Blackula-VFDC.

The same thing to you, sir.

I would have to agree with the guy who said "That was the best shit I've seen in a long time!" Great battle.

These videos just make me want to not even try anymore Anybody care to teach my Pai something?
I've played 3 games and one of them might have been not horribly onesided, so I figure I'd be somewhere near first dan if ranks mean anything, but I'm 10th kyu 'cause I've never won. <I tend to laugh when I'm humiliated, so don't mind me, I'll still have fun - lol>
I'll likley be on for a while and most weeknights (eastern time) until I get my copy of DOA5. I don't really play VF, so this is just something for me to practice stick.
Sadly my computer is downstairs, while the console is upstairs, so I can't stay on here, while waiting or playing there.
PSN - Ooobe <though today there should be an 'N' in front of that>
