@Chanchai_VF I play on leverless now. Coming from years of pad. I tried stick and really enjoyed/miss using it. I had trouble with diagonals on stick and the many customizations available seemed to have not help me :)

@PoliceMart43735 There are still a lot of stick players, including me. But leverless seems to be selling a lot and pad still seems likely to be dominant by default. I have fun playing on all and lever is my favorite. But I’m cool with anything.

🤣

@Shidosha @vf_official Yup the pace of play post update is like zen for me right now. Relaxing :)

Overall I'm not mad at the @vf_official update. I'm having fun playing at a more intentional pace. I do hope that we get some kind of update addressing the unstable matchmaking lobbies. They either freeze, randomly crash, or time out when other people try to get into a big room.

@RentalAnimator I love pressing buttons too. Even if I'm the one who lost :)

I’m honestly not sure if EDC sped up or slowed down the exchange exactly. But I loved that I could cancel evade into a dash faster, since I could move faster overall—even outside of combat exchanges. You saw me moving around after winning, right? lol I just love quick movement because it’s satisfying 🤣

My personal opinion about the EDC nerf is that I do not mind it. EDC was probably too strong. But what’s sad to me is that I don’t feel the mobility we used to have. EDC was not only used as a strategy; it was simply movement. I wish we could keep the speed of the game as it was…

@KNRingabel @OkamotoKitchen @Paul68kdmd Maybe Sega is trying to figure out a way to recreate this kind of exciting play without asking the player to have the ability to execute a skill that is not easily attainable. Imho, basic stuff should be able to stand against this skill set otherwise we can't grow the community.

@OkamotoKitchen @PoliceMart43735 I can see that, as I still love playing 4FT from time to time, but there are differences between both. Moments like these will be gone because the risk reward system feels slower now. @Paul68kdmd and I playing. Was super fun.

People celebrating this patch are outing themselves as A.) Non-VF Players who yap B.) People who just wanted their character buffed, but changed a whole core of the game doing it C.) People who complain about ECD, yet not use their moves correctly. They want free interactions.

@KNRingabel I don't see it as lowering the needed skill. It's more changing the skill focus to core VF. Evade is still there, fuzzy is still there etc. LTE might be next on the "simplification" block though.

@PoliceMart43735 It means the skill gap is lowered. The better player should always win. It's basically how fighting games are lowering the skill floor for no reason, and it makes the games way less satisfying to watch and play.

@KNRingabel So essentially, Japan loses one of their advantages. Now the thinking park of the games changes a bit. Everyone now is on the same starting line. Is that a bad thing or just something different from before?

@PoliceMart43735 No, it becomes freedom of options, where you have to think about it vs. Forced Interaction only (this patch). People believe only half and full circualrs go here, but it was about timing (something Japan is very good at, I found out the hard way.) Variety of moves are needed.

@KNRingabel So it becomes simpler options rather than less skilled ones vs before one needs to have skilled options available?

@PoliceMart43735 So skilled player vs less skilled? Everyone has the ability to do it, but most in America won't because they're lower skill. It was there for fast small gameplay, where to be good at stopping it, you had to think about it, then delay your options.

@RentalAnimator As a beginner player, I think it saves me from some frustration on "what the" situations where I miss hits and i don't understand why. Moving forward, does this ecd change make ecd more of an optional rather than a necessary skill to be good at VF?

I’m genuinely curious what people think about the EDC change in the new VF patch. Let me know if you like it or not.

@RentalAnimator I agree. Felt slower but there's better ability to mix things up as a result. The mind games really opens up.

Today I played a room match with Yellowtail for the first time on the new version. It was really fun, but I definitely felt the difference from the EDC nerf. The game feels slower overall, but the decision-making process becomes simpler

@LonLon89 Taka got buffed with ecd nerf I think.

PATCH 1.10 WINNERS VS LOSERS!! Let me know what yall think, we won't "reeallly" know until next week but this kind of what it looks like so far according my own opinion + chat opinion + other high level players. #vfrevo #backtobasics #playmorevf

@Chanchai_VF I was kinda thinking about your thoughts on these changes. Is this VF 5.9 we're gonna be playing soon?

HUGE CHANGES TO VIRTUA FIGHTER! I WILL BE TALKING ABOUT THE VF PATCH NOTES Today at 3pm PST (6pm EST) #VirtuaFighter #VF5REVOws twitch.tv/chanchai_vf/

@RentalAnimator Nerfing the VF advance mechanics I think. No more staggers, no more ecd, less evades? @SEGA trying to balance the playing field between old and new players maybe?

Wait... does this mean you can not cancel Evading until you spend 13 frames??? or you get longer window of canceling evading ???? Japanese players are confused as well even in Japanese sentences 🤪

@Shidosha Now we'll have frame tight Taka players because they can't do anything else unless they want to eat punish for breakfast :(

BRO STOP IT 😭😭😭 #PlayMoreVF

@HIMA_FGC @Chanchai_VF Wow! 心からお祝い申し上げます

結婚式！親族中心のささやかなやつだけどやってよかった✌ I had a wonderful wedding party!

@Supersonic540 @RentalAnimator Ironically though, the things that makes it exciting are the things that discourage some people in taking it up.

I dont think that enough people understand that the reason i have always liked VF was because it feels like a choreographed kung fu movie when played with 2 people at an equal level. Not many games are as hype when neither side lands what they are going for.

@Chanchai_VF Waiting for that time to come for me and I'll post it all over 😜

Some people are just too happy to get that one… in fifty… 🤣

@Chanchai_VF Who's/what's "McGyver"?

Teenage daughter: “What’s MTV?” … Exactly.
