Week 1 of formal Wutan Bajiquan training complete! Wutan is a school that augments your Bajiquan with other martial arts, starting with Zhongyiquan. Homework was to record a 基本八式 Ji Ben Ba Shi (a mini taolu of stance transitions) and the 弓馬捶慢磨 Gong Ma Chuei power drill.
There’s simply no one else like Akai.
One of the game and community’s greatest supporters, he hosts weekly online leagues, brings players together, and gives the community a place to compete, learn, and stay connected.
We’re beyond lucky to have him.
#PlayMoreVF
The good ol' days of Virtua Fighter 5 Final Showdown casuals in NYC. This was the debut of "Jacko Damage". (Beware of Volume LOL).
To think this was 13 years ago...
@Crimzonblu@JohnnyTheFlash_ As an Akira main myself, it's all a lie 😄 the knee eke's out a tiny bit extra damage, but isn't necessary to play him. Dragon Lance & SPoD are less tricky, but more necessary, same can be said with squeezing in crouch dashes for while-rising attack during combos, but not bad imo
This segment legit made me emotional and I really haven't ever played a Virtua Fighter game before.
Idk if I've ever been hit this hard by any game trailer before
There's so much culture, love, and talent packed into 30 seconds.
Very much looking forward to VF6
@JohnnyTheFlash_ I personally have no issue with it. The 3 buttons are a limitation in some ways, though, while they simplify in others. That's why so many directions and combinations are needed in VF. Removing double taps, removing motions etc are already things we've seen in "modern" elsewhere
Since this scene was a mix of 2D and 3D animation, it was extremely complex and challenging to make work. I had to make sure all the action timing was prepared in advance. Many people worked incredibly hard to make this possible
