My personal blog for Virtua Fighter

A lot of the old assets are not working anymore in this blog. What I had intended for this blog to be, a very well-organized notebook for the latest version of Virtua Fighter will now be transferred over to a private discord. I might use this blog instead for a variety of VF articles.

March 8, 2014 - Moving forward with the VF Moves Project, my goal is to compile lists of options in a given situation and their consequences with an emphasis on Virtua Fighter being played as a speed guessing game.  To elaborate, ones' success in Virtua Fighter is based on how quickly one can: recognize opponent's tendencies; process what options are available and their consequences; and execute command inputs correctly.  I think I will write a little bit more on those aspects later.  In analyzing the game's system, I plan on writing those entries with the following formats:

For the end of this week, I have finished adding command inputs to all the characters' default stance pages.  In the future, I will add more notes to each page, similar to the content available on Akira's page.
