That's exactly what I'm gonna do. Give me a good date and time then I'll launch a FSD open lobby on PSN. We can all talk to each other in the site's chat since I have no mic (on top of my voice being awkward as all heck). Since everyone's starting to go back to school and what not, this week is more or less the best time to go through with it.

What SEGA had always traditionally done was to create an entirely new VF utilizing the hardware from every up and coming generation of their time. Which was why we had VF2 for the Saturn, VF3 for the Dreamcast, VF4 for PS2, and finally VF5 for PS3/360.

This for the most part is true, although originally VF3 was going to be a Sega Saturn game, however it was constantly delayed until then 2 years after the original arcade release came the Dreamcast, but it still wouldn't see a Western release until another year later, and by then, VF3 was hella old news with Soul Calibur and Dead Or Alive 2 getting all the glory. Sega was going through some seriously tough times in those days as well.

I'd really like to see VF4 Final Tuned get a PSN release, I can't get the arcade version to run too well emulated really.

VF6 vs DOA6 vs SC6, 2014... I hope in the next game the characters finally resemble their CG portraits. Going from DOA5 Pai to VF5 Pai is a little jarring lol

I think it's time for a VF6, but I think DOA6 can wait a few years. SC... I dunno, sure, why not.

As far as a DoA6 goes, I want to have a VFxDoA made before that even happens. DoA5 shows well that their cast and VF's go very well hand in hand. Only this time, It would be much better if the game ran on VF5FS's engine. As far as universal holds go, no friggin holds out of stuns involved please <_<

Really? I can't even tell the difference.

I can. I take a long look at CG Pai and DoA5 Pai, then go back to VF5 to gaze upon Pai's puffy red chipmunk cheeks.

Yesterday I played VF5FS online for the first time in months (I had only played training mode in a while, hoping to not forget Shun's moves). I have gladly found there are more than 20000 players on XBL now (there are more than 30000 on DOA5). I found a few matches (only against kyus and dans, not ready for real ranking matches right now). In general, after playing DOA5, I feel I play more reckless now LOL. Also, I seem to play more unpredictibly. So on the good side: I'm more unpredictable (in part because I have forgotten how to play). On the bad side: I'm getting counter hit a lot. Playing DOA has turned me into an abare cunt.

Got back into the game about 3 days ago and truly amazing things are already starting to happen.
So have a cool story :U

http://www.insertcoinclothing.com/hoodies/hazuki-tiger.html

And how I came across this has an interesting story. I was playing VF5FS one morning before the start of the first day of school and came across an Akira player with the exact same Ryo Hazuki set up as me who was only one loss away from getting his rank demoted from his current Defender position (I'm ranked Sentinel). We had a mirror match, the rounds were 2 to 2, and I was most likely gonna end up taking the victory. It wasn't in me to demote someone, so he was shocked to see that I completely jumped far away from him, and voluntarily stepped out of the ring so he could get a ring out victory and keep his rank.

He messaged me, said thanks, we talked for a bit, added each other as friends, then I took my keester to school. Then yesterday, he talked about how his wife managed to get him a Shenmue themed hoodie for Christmas and I immediately jumped and asked where he managed to pick up such a treasure. He directed me to the site and here it is XD

Oh yes, Erick. I'll add you immediately : P

We are around the sam rank. I'm a Guardian.

My wife and daughter will be gone for two weeks starting the 28th. I really have to try to reach the next rank (Warrior?). It took me 4 months and a lot of demontions to reach Guardian! LOL Two weeks of video games and intoxication...

I'm not sure if I've ever been demoted in this game yet, but it took me months to get where I am now XD El Blaze saw me all the way through to my journey of starting from 10th Kyu to becoming a 10th Dan. I originally intended on learning Akira so I could use him in DoA5, but along the way of getting me up from that point to a Sentinel, he may have become my new main entirely. Still sticking with that luchador goodness though :cool:
