Alright I have heard your many comments in having trouble dealing with spammers in VF5 and this guide should help you with that, and a lot more! We have that, talking about taking and stealing turns, and how to use fuzzies(no they are not anything like dbfz fuzzies lol) to defeat multiple options the opponent has at the same time!

I have been granted a review copy of GG Strive by arcsys, which means I will be able to give you guys day 1 content for strive! The plan as it stands here is tomorrow I will be covering the event they are having in japan, which should give us a roadmap and our first hint at DLC, and monday 6pm EST I can post the first proper strive videos! There is a day 1 balance patch so first few videos will be a bit more general cause I have no idea whats in the patch and I don't wanna focus on combos or something that will be outdated on day 1, gotta figure out the changes first haha.

Let's keep pushing for a VF6 and VF Collection!

Spammers teach you all the ways to avoid their attacks. God bless 'em. 😀

rooflemonger all your VF5 videos are a masterpiece 101%. especially since i am a VF2 player from the arcade machines in the 90'S. not a player of frame data. i did learn the 1. minus 2. minus. your breakdown of it is a huge help & outstanding overall. now day as fgc fan of fgs i use frame data now.

Another very useful video. I have a lot of trouble taking my turns. What often happens is: block confirm-> I block -> he keeps blocking -> I try jabbing or a throw-> he jabs faster

Needed this. Was about done with the game after training for 3 days when I first got the game and losing to a Kage or Lion

Awesome video I’m usually a tekken Stan but vf has been super fun and I’m quite addicted

Reminds me of how much I like the concept of holds in Dead or Alive. If anyone uses a move too much, you can call it out and do a counter with a universal mechanic.

You are a good teacher, I appreciate your content. It's helping me unpack this game.

Vanessa's while standing P in Defensive Stance is great with dealing with 2P. It staggers on ch and a crouching opponent. It's her elbow class attack in DS. You can also use 1 P. It can sabaki lows and give van frame advantage.

I was really in trouble in beginning but now i'm a lot better i really to start to enjoy the neutral of the game

Thank you for this vid! I always have problems with mashers online and you are right about freaking out can mess everything up.

Virtua Fighter 5 is the best game ever made. I have no idea what they did to this netcode but it feels smoother than MK11, Tekken 7 and SFV combined. No delay at all, perhaps this Delay Absorb technique is a true game changer.

I really love the way you explain stuff in fighting games, clear and right to the point, while also keeping it interesting and fun. I don't even play this particular game but I just like watching your videos anyway, they are almost therapeutic.

Great tips. Great to see VF5 getting some new content on KZfaq.

Literally my favorite bathing is this game doesn't have a special bar

You sound happier than usual, been waiting to make content on VF weren’t you?

Thank you for making videos like these for VF Newcomers, you are doing a great deal of service for the community. I hope the VF veterans like you and tricky starts making individual character guides as well, am seeing a lot of newbies and willing to learn gamers in youtube viewing and commenting on any VF related videos, requesting for guides on specific characters and y'know not many have the patience to visit VFDC or read stuff, as some prefer audio & visual learning. 😅 Wish VF veterans would be able to put up contents as such, think this will help develop more hype, newbies to stay longer and further appreciation in playing the game. 💜

This is a great guide. I am a beginner and when I get overwhelmed by spam, everything I know get thrown out the window. Need to calm down first.

I hope they add Yakuza characters in VF.

Somehow, I've been playing vf for 15 years and i never knew about that fuzzy. Thanks roofle.

You are a hero. Me and a friend have created a friendly challenge where we will get better at the game and make weekly 1v1s and flame eachother for fun. This will help a lot cause he has just been spamming kicks and I didn't know what to do xD

Also keep in mind. 33 G fuzzy only works when you are at the most -5 (-4 for Taka). Anything from -6 to -9 you need to just lazy throw escape or evade.

I played ranked and didnt realize how people are more clueless then me lol I dont really look at moves and just learn on the go and felt sorry for some of my opponents trying to spam kick or didnt know the buttons at all

Akira mains, you guys can use the following to beat 2P; 2P+K - low parry 9K, 2K+GP, 66KK - jump kick low crush combo 3P - fast mid (be careful you’re -2 on hit) 66P - mid/best option you should always be using dash elbow anyway. Happy body checking boyz 😎

Excellent guide! Thank you for spreading the good word!

I’m learning VF5 now so i’ll be ready for if/when hopefully VF6 comes out😂

Not only do i enjoy your videos, the ending music is just so jazzy! thanks bro!

As an Aoi player Aoi has a huge advantage against these button mashers because Aoi is well known for her counters, her sabaki form and her reversals. I kept on using the Sabaki parry stance mainly because they kept on spamming their high punches, kicks,and sometimes for some mids. As for the low jab punch when I see that at least three times and they kept on doing that to win I used my low down reversal on one of those spammers.

This is useful, if the netcode doesn't sucks

Thank you, vids are appreciated

Fantastic, really appreciate this!

Not sure why people keep asking for VF6 when they don't even know how to properly play vf5. I'd rather like them to keep updating it with new characters, stages and moves, once in a while to keep it fresh. Something like KOF 94 to 98.

Spam them back

The funny thing is, a lot of people are afraid to get into Virtua Fighter because they think it's the hardest fighting game of all time or because they've seen the highest of level of competitive play and think everyone is supposed to play that way instantly, but the reality is, Virtua Fighter is not a complicated game, it's a simple game with a lot of depth, which in my opinion should make it easier for people to get into, not to mention, I don't think it's too difficult to master, sure it's not the easiest fighting game and some characters are a bit complicated as you progress, but there are a lot of beginner friendly characters you can choose from like Sarah, Jacky, Lion, Jeffry and even the more complicated characters like Akira or Kage can be very effective in beginner level play, on top of that, in 5 and especially Final/Ultimate Showdown it's a lot easier to combo than in previous VF games, there are quite a few easy options to launch or stun the opponent for a combo for all the characters, you just have to find the most damaging one.

High level Wizardy? No... Tis Sorcery!

Man... VF is so hot right now. Can it overshadow Strive release?!?

Thank still download again and see what goes down

I play goh and what I like to do is back dash with ⬅️⬅️↘️P with Goh to bait a whiff, evade and set up mix ups with mids

Fuzzy guard look very easy to do.

My defense is great it's just learning how to advanced step in time.

Great stuff 👏

How to deal with down punch spammers: Step 1: Block down punch Step 2: Hit 'em back with your own down punch. :3

Also the lag is a nightmare..

hey, can we get a Vanessa Offensive Stance guide? The defensive one was very helpful

Most casuals 2p at disadvantage. Watch their tendencies after you block a string/failed move.. Make them adjust. If you sense the 2p coming after a attack/series of attacks, side step and punish. Also some characters have 2p counters/low counters/ and attack with special properties to beat out lows..

The best is the idiots that just mash punch immediately at the start. I've even backdashed far enough away that I'm almost getting a ring out . And guess what the idiot is still mashing punch! Like I'm no where near you!! Stop that!!

nice vid do you have any tips to fight against taller characters like Sarah and Wolf? The reach of their kicks makes me rage quit all the time.

That's why ill never understand someone losing to an abare player and complaining about them and them playing that way. If they are playing abare then block then you'll have the advantage, and punish them with a floater or crushing move. It'll counter hit them and you can get a combo on them. The key to VF is mixing up abare with playing moral and seeing what works and what doesn't. Anything goes in VF imo. Nothing is cheap and nothing is off limits since there is an answer to every single move in the game. If you're losing its entirely your fault for getting hit by whatever it was. Online tactics can he cheap though but its still not impossible to beat if its a decent connection.

I drop the game after lose against that summo spamming a mid kick all the fucking match

These damn hunters will be forever hunters

I’m really disappointed with all the spamming in the ranked games.

for people interested in the final topic of this video, I suggest searching for the difference of a 50/50 that is not a nitaku, and a 50/50 that is a nitaku and what are your options for both cases. The best of luck!

I feel like lower jab punishes almost never come out on time.

I don't mean to get political, but the term for this is "abare"

EDC yo

I can't spammers in fighting games period just give a nice challenge

If they’re are any experienced players willing to reply tips for brad, I’d really appreciate it

REALLY appreciate you saying "down punch" etc. Hearing 6252787 pkkgofp isn't natural to people not familiar, and even after figuring it out, still takes a second to process.

Actually I have trouble with the dashing and side steps

Now that begs the question how you beat fuzzy guard?

Didn’t sound like a good moment to bring in TEG?

Always love the videos! Here's a problem I'm encountering, people interrupting my strings (which hit) with a crouching punch. What do you think the best way to test your own strings for stuff like this is?

For the fuzzy guard. Can you also back dash? Or it only works on forward dash?

I was against sumo who fid strong low kicks and i didn't know what to do can you help me?

I didn’t even find an opponent online. What’s the player count like?

It would be nice if you can have the frame data display during an actual game

Idk if you're playing on a stick but I can crouch dash by simply inputting 33. I think that's the "minimum" input requirement for an crouch dash to come out.

You need to just sidestep right??

Oh, so you can block low attacks with a standing guard?

just played a vanessa mid spam that was like on auto double mid kicks. literally couldn't do anything. games trash.

Can this game jump over spammers?

Is spamming bad coz net code? Or ?

Brian F's VF career is over already

The reality of the situation is that net code and input lag makes spamming way more effective than it should ever be unfortunately. Also it’s not fun to fight Cockroaches and they are everywhere.

Does anyone know how to evade+fuzzy guard on a pad? The sidestep in this game has a very long animation b4 the guard comes out.

I do not like this game. I played Tekken but this game is to slow for me.
