The impact of the hits

So, I've been reading complaints/insults/(insertnegativethinghere) about VF recently and it seems that the one complaint that comes up the most is:

- The impact of the hits seems like s**t.


And I think that it's due to the sound of it. Correct me if I'm wrong, but do you guys believe that giving new sound effects to hits would give a new dimension to the impact?

Because I do. As it is right now, they sound like slaps. Everything sounds like a slap other than a few heavy hits (like moves that cause crumple and the likes, Akira has quite a few of them I believe?)

How good would it be to switch them to heavier sounds?

 

The game obv needs 7.1 surround sound and sfx done by a movie studio to be worth playing.

People who bitch about tiny things in VF are just looking for excuses not to play. If they find the game dull or aesthetically ugly then you can't really do much about it.

 

Honestly, complaining over a lousy sound effect? Not to sound offensive but if some is complaining over that then find some other game to play. VF5FS has a different SE but I bet they'll complain about that one too.

 

Guys, I do understand your point. Not that I mind the sound effects, but my question is: Would it really make the hits seem heavier?

I believe so, but I am still unsure. My point being, I want to start a VF scene over here in Montreal, but the whole FG community over here seems to favor SC and Tekken in terms of 3D fighters (guess it's only natural, it's so popular -_____-...)

I, at first, was turned off by VF's stiffness and overrall lack of feel when it came to hits. It is truly an amazing game and I'm just asking whether or not that could really attract new people. I understand that it's dumb, just like how some games get underrated due to their graphics being overrall lower quality-wise but that's beside the point.

So, again, would giving new SE bring out a new dimension to the hits?

 

In my honest opinion I don't think it would. VF needs much more than just a new SE effect to reel in players. Sadly Sega isn't doing much towards that.

 

They already changed a lot of the sound effects in R and FS

 

I wish on counterhit they would give us a electric tekken effects but only on counter hit.

 

I'll have to agree with you on that one. But although it DOES seem to strengthen the effect of it's weight, I believe that the slap could really be replaced.

I doubt that they'd ever do that. VF was aimed towards realistic Martial Arts fighting, so putting lightning effects would go against what they are aiming for.

You could very well be right. I haven't tried playing other sound effects over any VF5 videos, so possible it needs more than that to attract new players.

 

So what about the current yellow and blue flashes then?

 

Yeah i hate that Aoi throw but i guess it ment to look gracefull and painful. As far as hard hits go i knew sega was on the right track when the Speed on jacky's neutral throw had a harder slam down effect in R. Same as Goh Leg toss throw.

As Far as throw goes.. I wish he had a more visceral combo sort of like Jann Lee's wall throw. (Think Bruce's Combo against Chuck at the end that led to the counter wrsit snap lol.)

All in all Sega did a good job enhancing the sounds.. Lets see if they add some more. Can't hurt.

 

You mean Aoi's new neutral + throw (I think)? That's an actual Aiki-Jujutsu technique, I've seen it plenty of times. The fall can really hurt when done correctly.

 

Luckily I was able to find one on YT ^_^



The "nage" preforms the technique twice at approximately 0:30 (Sorry, I don't know how to time stamp vids ^^').

 

Jacky's was a clothesline in VF3 and VF4. It changed to the three punches from VF4Evo.

 

Neutral throw is spot on Myke.
@Tiripsem Nice vid but the video version looks painful is done with force and the FS version really looks like it can be teched for no damage lol!!

 

No problem . It does look better as a reversal especially since you can use the technique with your back turned. Like SDS said, in the video it's much more damaging (you can tell by the thud). It's supposed to be the force of gravity and the force of the push from the user that makes it work. However, Aoi doesn't look like she uses any force at all XD

I'm amazed it counts as 40 dmg and not something less!

 

In other words... Animation change in Version B Like many other moves in R.
