Commentary: VF5 still alive and kicking
Posted by: Leonard McCoy on: December 11, 2009
The retirement thread was beginning to fill up with posts of disappointed long-term players. There were posts abound about how we could emerge into new areas, into new games. Modern Warfare 2 and Tekken 6 made its debut and are still played heavily, even among the most faithful VF players.
But you know what?

No multiple choice. No further hints – just plain hardcore. And Goh specific.

SuddenDeath and I came up with the idea of making a tutorial video about escaping side throws simply because we never really dug deeper into side throws. Even the VFwiki isn’t a too great help here. Not only is it hard to distinguish which side your opponent is on (left or right). But also, the [...]

Konjou speaks up: Is Street Fighter 4 really worth its money?
Posted by: Leonard McCoy on: March 20, 2009
Since launch Street Fighter 4 has gained high review scores accompanied by bombastic sales numbers. A good amount of VFers already gave in, bought SF4, and returned disappointedly without ever quite leaving the VF scene. Capcom’s hype – also caused by their now-matured, original SF2 players – is taking hold of the more hardcore VF [...]

So far, my articles about how and when to defend only touched the standard share of techniques that you can use for a consistent defense. I covered ETE and ETEG, Fuzzy Guard and Crouch Fuzzy Guard. But what other option do especially Goh players have?

How a match begins, the first flurry of strikes, has vehement impact on the outcome of the round. Who will land the first hit? Whose feet will be whipped away first?
Evaluating the personality of your opponent and checking your potential round-openers beforehand can give you the advantage in a match where the first strike, [...]
