Love this game, but after getting to 2nd Dan, starting to get beat a little too often. I main Lion, will pick up Jacky/Lau (wish I had the skill to play Akira effectively) but man, I really seem to be losing to Derpness. Wolf running around during that stupid rush move, getting hit on wakeup because it looks like I'm too far away, etc...Coming from SF4, it takes a lot of getting used to just to block effectively. Anyway, I can tell these players aren't really "outsmarting" me, and VF5 is a game that I was told to be all about skill. I'm pretty decent in SF, so I just want to get to that level with this title.
PSN is OmniCloud, would really like to play against good Lion players, as I don't see a lot of him online and he's my favorite character. But, it also seems like characters like Jacky/Lau can go more on "auto-pilot" a bit easier than Lion. So what are you guys bnb with Lion and are you having success with him against most of the cast? Dying for a good spar, tired of losing to players I know I would crush in a game I'm more competent. It actually hurts my pride a little ;-(
I want to get the costume unlocks for Lion and Jacky, but I feel like I haven't deserved that option yet'-(
