That I find out that Virtua Fighter 5 is indeed contested at the World Cyber games.

I was getting bored with Soul Calibur IV. See I'm far too good. I do get my ass kicked alot mostly cheap player who don't know how to play. But There are a good 60 something times where the other player really was better than me.

So I went to DOA 4. Counters seem to be the key to winning in DOA and I can't seem to get them down plus LAG DOES EFFECT MATCH RESULTS.

Virtua Fighter 5 has no online achivements. So there's really no point to it. BUT Virtua Fighter is technical. It's like chess and I think with a good stick the guide and the right teachers I could get good at Virtua fighter.

Playing through Quest mode only gives you a small idea of the depth of the game. The Majority of the AI Opponents are more moronic than the staunchest British Atheist. But as you rank up the opponents get harder forcing you to get better.

In 2d fighters getting your ass kicked doesn't exactly make you better. In 3d fighters it does make you better. you learn blocking and countering sometimes if you're playing with somebody friendly they'll show you a few new moves you never knew about before.
I learned alot the other night playing against a Seasoned VF player. Even against somebody of my skill level I learned.

That's really the mark of a good game when you keep learning and when the community is willing to help.

unlike the Asshole flooded FPSes.

But I hope I get good in Virtua Fighter. Like Good enough to go and Compete in Japan......and probably get my ass kicked

Oh yeah........Sarah's hot

Challenge me in Soulcalibur IV and see how good you are. My furry Taki craves blood.

I'm pretty disappointed in Dtoid's representation on SCIV overall. Not that there aren't fantastic players, but I never see anyone online playing the game. I was expecting full-blown tournaments and quarter matches, but I only managed to play a few games here and there with Dtoid people. :(

Let's try to get a couple people together for a quarter match. I'll be online for a good part of the night, starting around 6pm EST. Any takers? GT: ShinigamiBV

It's because SCIV is kind of boring :( The lag (even though it's miniscule) makes the game an exercise in frustration online instead of anything fun, and the game always just comes down to who can attack the person on the ground over and over again the most.

If I'm around and otherwise unoccupied, I'm down for that.

"do get my ass kicked alot mostly cheap player who don't know how to play."

Ha. This is why video games will never be accepted as a mainstream sport. You never hear this with anyone who is good at any other "sport".

"I'd have totally won that billiards tournament but there was some cheap player who didn't know how to play that kicked my ass"

@YKMG

While I totally agree about gaming becoming a mainstream "sport" (It is NOT a sport), that particular flaw is more of a problem with SCIV than with gaming in general. You will rarely, if ever, see that happen on a game like VF5, or TF2.

Unfortunately, Soul Calibur rewards button mashing and doing the same two moves over and over again and punishes strategy or varied playstyles.

Forza 2 is at the Championship Gaming Series, but the way they play it is an abomination. I saw it once and I cried myself to sleep that night.

I'll play some SCIV, I've been looking for people to spar with, I am pretty terrible though as I only got the game a few days ago and only know how to use Amy(and not her entire moveset either).

Also, WHAT THE FUCK?!?!?!?!!!!!!!! 2-4 weeks of emptiness...
