This is going to be my next modern game purchase (only the 3rd or maybe 4th modern game I've bought all gen). Not preordering, just very likely going to buy it day one or close to it based on what I'm seeing. I'll be getting this on PC, so is it better with a gamepad, fight stick, or is kbm OK?

those boots suck

Virtua Fighter will be dead within a week, just like every other entry, because they refuse to make the gameplay intuitive.

>>717637741 (OP)
i'm genuinely confused, didn't 5 launch a few months ago? Why are they rapid firing like this?

>>717637741 (OP)
>only the 3rd or maybe 4th modern game I've bought all gen
That's a lot considering they are all shit. Nobody knows what the best controller is yet but its pretty safe to assume that all games are made for a pad in the post arcade era, SF6 is the first Capcom fighter I played where an arcade stick felt a awkward, I expect that feeling to become more common.

>>717638118
VF only has 3 buttons so it's not like a stick is going to help all that much

>>717637741 (OP)
Nope

>>717638207
vf traditionally is better on stick because it needs clean diagonal inputs due to 3 buttons.
stuff like 43p inputs.(numpad)
vf6 might change everything however. like idk how they're doing the dodge.

>>717638010
But anon, isn't it so hardcore to have two-hundred extremely redundant moves on just two buttons, most of which are only available in the character's several transitionary stances, many with lots of obscenely tight input windows?

>>717638010
>because they refuse to make the gameplay intuitive.
kek, it is incredibly intuitive. If by intuitive you mean they let you win by spamming shit like in tekken then no, fuck off. This was a common complaint against street fighter too from people completely unwilling to adapt basic shit like links and motions.

>>717638118
>That's a lot considering they are all shit.
I really only play 1 modern game of the literally two games I've bought this gen and just dabble with the second. I'm not even joking when I say VF6 is maybe the third game all gen long I care enough about to consider buying.

>>717638398
No fighting game outside of Soulcalibur is intuitive. Especially not any faux "3D" fighter

>>717638207
VF 6 is not going to be a 3 button fighter, it makes absolutely no sense. The only reason it was 3 button was because it was an arcade game and they didn't want to scare off casuals. Using 3 buttons in the modern era only overcomplicates shit.

VF plays better on a stick precisely because its 3 button, it was designed with combination of buttons in mind, not single button macros.

VF will never succeed until they remove the

>extremely generic characters

>>717638082
anon, Virtua Fighter 5 released in 2006

>>717638497
Its going to be the only new FG I buy since SF6 which is the only fighter I bought this gen. I used to play SNK, tekken, SF, MvC, GG, SC and a bunch of other shit but I lost the desire to try any of them. VF is the first fighter I'm actually excited for since the SF4 era, I wasn't even going to buy SF6 but I saw my friends playing and got it out of obligation. If SEGA fucks it up I'm just going to drop the genre entirely which is depressing because it was my favorite in the 360 and prior eras.

>>717637741 (OP)
I always enjoyed VF gameplay, but it was always an eyesore and the characters looked aesthetically boring
they haven't shown enough, but hoping this fixes that. more than likely will pick this up, unless i hear bad things after release.

>>717638580
Id argue SC is intuitive in some ways because of the 8 way run and lack of combos but its still spammy as fuck when you start and its much more difficult to get to the fun mind games with GI and other core mechanics requiring a lot of game knowledge to implement. VF, like SF has a bit of a bump at the very start but you understand the appeal of the real game much faster than average.

Its easy for a game to just give you auto combos and hand out wins for slamming your face on the pad but that doesnt build long term engagement and that isn't what id call real accessibility.

I don't like 3d fighters but I like it when the FGC is doing well so I hope this game is good and you have fun with it

>>717639121
Can't disagree that it's more "down to earth" when compared to the others, but I appreciate that tone when compared to SF, Tekken, KoF, MvC and the others. It looks like VF is putting more emphasis on the strategy and "dance" of the fight to be what draws the attention on it's own rather than the ultra flashy visuals and level 3 cinematic supers. I think it helps it stand out in a good way.

Any rooms?

>>717638010
VF is literally the easiest 3D fighter to play

>>717637741 (OP)
>Gamepad
They're fine for fighting games
>Fight stick
Very few people play on fight sticks anymore, generally just very old school players
>Keyboard
Basically a ghetto hitbox
>Hitbox/leverless
If you wanna be serious about the game then a leverless is gonna be the best controller. Nearly every pro has swapped to one.

>>717638010
That's the whole point. It's a fighting game. Not a kusoge. That's like complaining that Gran Turismo doesn't have blue shells or missiles.

>>717641192
More or less right but leverless is for fags and fight sticks are fun.

>>717638010
It's probably one of, if not the most intuitive fighting game there is, anon.

This will be the only modern fighting game that doesn't have slowmo attacks

>>717641321
Bro, did you not see the gameplay? Lmao it was full of slowdowns also the woman in it was fugly.

here is your fighting game bro

>>717641367
its kind of embarrassing that the Microsoft flight simulator of fighting games has more personality in its facial expressions than tekken, SC or DOA.

>>717641682
At least the women don't look like men.

>>717641307
absolutely not

>>717641840
kek

>>717641840
nta, but have you never seen a real life woman before? how in the world woudl you think that looks anything like a man?

>>717638010
>because they refuse to make the gameplay intuitive
>3 button game
How much more intuitive do you want zoomie?

>>717641261
>VF
>not kusoge
lol. lmao, even

>>717641367
i'm in love bros

>>717642182
Less buttons does not mean more intuitive, retardo

>>717638843
You could say the same this about Dota 2

>>717641338
That was just for the demo video

>>717642465
There's a reason why everyone knows what LoL is and nobody plays Dota2

>>717641367
Thanks, bro.

>>717642352
what do you mean by intuitive? 1 button for each punch, kick and guard are pretty intuitive to me. If you come from tekken, it's gonna take like, 5 min to get used to it

>>717642627
Intuitive like directional inputs plus button coming out as something that makes sense, and not having to rotate the stick in 500 circles to do a single attack.

>>717642035
this has to be photoshoped

>>717637741 (OP)
>so is it better with a gamepad, fight stick, or is kbm OK?
Whatever feels the most comfortable, it doesn't really matter. Personally I use a stick or leverless cause I find it more comfortable than controller, but if you were to look into the hori fightpads then I'd recommend that as an alternative for controllers. keyboard is cool too, some people even use keycaps to move instead of buttons. Nothing beats the satisfying feeling of slapping buttons though.

>>717642721
you have not played the game

So no rooms?

>>717642906
I have played the game, it's shit. Besides being overly complicated, every character is painfully bland, boring, and obvious knockoffs of other FG characters.

>>717641192
tranny

>>717637926
there are "people" who actually enjoy women with this much muscles. I'm glad she's not like that anymore. Unlike >>717642035

>>717637741 (OP)
just look at akira and tell me he's is not the coolest looking fighting game protag you've ever seen

>>717637741 (OP)
Sarah's so fucking hot in this. The instathot face is perfect, she LOOKS like some white girl. They nailed the look perfectly. One of the very few times I've seen facescanning actually work in a video game.

>>717643502
Shame about her breast cancer

>>717643720
The ill-advised mastectomy ruining their already mid body is central to the white girl aesthetic.

>>717642734
nah its real. theyre working on fixing it because of the backlash

>>717641367
Realistically can this game succeed without sexo? SF and Marvel both have a lot of sexo... is Tekken sexoless?

>>717646208
MK is hyper popular and has 0 sex appeal. coomers in general are an annoying vocal minority that dont even play games, they just whine about games not matching their fetishes on the internet.

As long as the women aren't DEI monstrosities they will be fine.

>>717647216
>MK is hyper popular and has 0 sex appeal
Are you underage?

>>717637741 (OP)
Yep. Same.

>>717638010
Their gameplay is great, and I'm sure it WILL be intuitive, just in a way that matters, as opposed to supermove spam.

>>717643502
They probably did this so people would stop using Sarah as Samus in porn animations.

>>717643096
if you don't like girls with muscle why are you even playing a fighting game niqqa, this is a female muscle space
