1) Is VF5FS/VF5US a balanced VF fighting game? What are unbalanced things in this one? Why? What is the most balanced VF game?

2) Do you like the new one way Throw system in VF5FS/US or you like MTE of the prev VFs? Why?

What do you think about uneven terrain in VF3? Do you think it should return in VF6 as a real step forward for the next generation of fighting games and VF?

3) Your thoughts about new Hit sparks in VF5US?

4) No saving replays with Frame data displaying and skipping BWD FWD frame by frame in VF5US... Is this thing important for you? How do you analyze fights and learn frame data? (thought that replays w frame data is the most easiest and pleasure way to learn frame data).

What do you think of VF3's dodge button and movement system? Do you think they should've kept the dodge button?

What do you think of VF4's movement/dashing system compared to VF5FS and what are your thoughts on movement counters like sidestep counter hits and backdash stagger?

What are your thoughts on clash in VF5 and the removal of sidestep attacks?

Do you think the new combo system FS introduced is too much because of how floaty the characters are, and how many times you can wall splat and re-bounce characters in a single combo? Or do you think it's good because it allows for more creativity.

Maybe remind HSA that VF5R never officially released outside of Japan

They removed Akira's wall throw. How does that make you feel?

It's a real question, lol. I miss it. It was really cool. Most likely gone because they removed the throw that activates it, but they should bring it back and give it a new input when his back is against the wall. Like half circle back P+G.

Thanks (to whoever) for interviewing him, asking our questions and translating his answers!! However, you'll never be forgiven for cutting him off from answering the rest of the 'Akira's wall throw' question, lol (I'm kidding). That's awesome he also misses it. And smiled and laughed when he heard it and answered it, since it was a light hearted question (@41:00 in the video).

Also cool he likes the combo system because we can do and see more creative things.


That was cool of him to do that for us. Thanks again.

I missed it, do you know if he answered to my question about VF3 unever terrain?
