Why do you play with Lion?

    Also, Lion REALLY annoys lots of other people, which is an important strategy to use against high-level opponents.

    It's certainly about a mind game when you use Lion, but Fu~do doesn't use the strategy to his advantage (maybe Chibita does with his flashiness).
     
  3. I actually like Lion, game wise. I'm more of a Pai Chan fan, but I used to play him in VF2. He's got some awesome moves and -then - he had better pick up lines IMO.

    I still play him sometimes in VF4, but I can't stand winning... seriously. And after seeing his video clips, I doubt that I'm gonna change my mind any time soon. The pose and the voice... not digging any of it. The strategy is working against me X( Not that I hate him, just can't stand using him (I'm a girl, sue me, I'm picky).

    lol!! At least he doesn't say "YEAAAAAH!!!" or "LET'S SEE IF YOU CAN WALK THE WALK!!!!" and my favorite "YOU LOOK LIKE YOU'RE IN SLOW MOTION!!!" or something along the lines of that!
     
  6. All the characters have their share of cheesy lines. Even Pai's are not that impressive, it just sounds cool in Japanese so no one really bothers that much... but *points at a Lion Win Pose* He jumped-or skipped-like a girl who happily got a hot date on prom night and yelled "yes"... (0:23-25 of the Lion Quotes clip in youtube). The only one I like-yes, LIKE-is the "Twice the man" bit because it's... "cute".

    *remembers cousin's famous sarcastic impression of Jacky: I'm paster dan tander!*

    I really do like him, and that's prolly why I get annoyed this much: I can't play him without cringing. Yeah, I can prolly just put it on mute, but that ain't fun now is it?

    So basically there's like 4 Lion players in Europe and 3 of those are in the UK?

    I first tried Lion in VF2, and quickly decided he was trash. I went back to Sarah, because I'd played her in VF1 constantly (I just loved her 6 6 P+G throw) and was a n00b.

    VF3 passed me by completely, and when I got into VF4 with friends at college, I'd sorta already decided to devote time to Lion and make it work. I <3 the annoying little brat.

    One more UK Lion player, Leo. AND YOU'VE SPOKEN AT HIM ALREADY!

    But I'll try to have fun, that's the most important thing.

    I'll also look really good while doing it.

    I'll also be really ANNOYING while doing it.

    The last two are the high points of Lion in VF that Chibita didn't tell you about, Leo.

    How do you know he didn't tell me about them but I kept them secret from you?

    Jide! Have you left Lion? So does that mean that if I beat Rayne I can say I'm the best Lion player in the UK?

    He might have done, I've never spoken to him. :|

    I saw him in a video on the internet once, though. He had crazymadawesome hair.

    This has wandered off-topic, hasn't it? The more I play VF5 Lion the more I like him. But VF5 Vanessa is calling to me again, and I want to put some time into her. Oh, and Brad. I dunno why, but I want to play Brad now.

    All I remember was being being hit by max damage stance-correct combos over and over while my hands froze and my vision shook. I think some pee escaped into my trousers but I can't be sure that was related to the BEATING that I took.

    Ask Joel about them, he has access to the PS3.

    I've stopped playing Lion now, that's how badly you beat me.

    NOT.
