If we had writers who were more focused on fighting games then maybe we'd see more obscure stuff like tournament videos shared on the main page, but we don't.
Except that this was an exhibition match put on and paid for by Sega at an official launch party that Sega USA put on to promote the game in America.
But yes, I don't want to fight, and sorry if I offended you as well. Maybe you didn't mean it the way I read it, but I did find the 'pathetic' comment hugely offensive and basically just nasty (especially coming from you, since you are mostly a nice guy). The vid I posted is probably the most extreme situation of going nuts for a game I've seen though, and even fighting fans find it over the top and funny.
I didn't mean to insult you with the comment about you not playing fighting games, but I meant that it's clear that you aren't into them on a competitive level, or you would have been used that kind of commentary by now. And as I edited in, I probably was being a bit harsh on the SonicBits comment, but you know how I feel about Sonic now.
Anyway now that me and Barry have kissed and made up, lets get back to the game: Who's getting it on XBLA, who's getting it on PSN?
I'm going to get it on XBLA for sure. I'm going to need to re-learn VF all over again I fear, I haven't really played a VF game for years unfortunately.
Also, one thing I meant to say about VF before was that i love the way the characters actually evolve in their styles over the years. Take a look at Jacky from VF2 through to Final Showdown and he's changed so much. You get the sense that he's less flashy but more effective in his moves now, and it just seems like they have realistic development in their styles and movelists (being able to combo more of his moves etc). Ditto with Goh, he started out having a heavy Judo influence, but now in FS he looks like he's straight outta Yakuza with brutal street fighting moves and brawling, with just a touch of his Judo origins left. For a game without much storyline, the characters fighting styles themselves seem to tell a good story from game to game.
