[TAS] Virtua Fighter 4 - Akira Yuki

[@SoulStreak64]

Ironic that Akira is supposed to be this game's "Ryu", yet he's one of the hardest characters to master. I guess that's what's good about Akira. "You're 10 years too early!"

[@Carcosa-]

More like Ryo Hazuki from Shenmue

[@truindividual]

@@Carcosa- surprised he never was a guest character

[@Carcosa-]

@@truindividual Maybe on VF6 but I can dream

[@gta1977]

@@Carcosa- originally Akira was going to be the star of Shenmue, then for some reason they changed it to Ryo.

[@donjohnlopez1801]

And They Say Kazuya Was the only hardest character in 3D But their is one Right Here XD

[@MoonlightStrider]

I love how in Akira's stage you can see Aoi's stage outside the Dojo, that's one thing I love in videogames when you can see other stages or levels from other stages or levels like how you can see Serpents Cage outside Terror Furnace in Fighting Vipers 2

[@ajskylesbroflovski2250]

I know Jacky and Sarah are siblings. But is Akira and Aoi like cousins or a couple? And Pai and Lau are like daughter and father?

[@MoonlightStrider]

@@ajskylesbroflovski2250 Akira and Aoi are childhood friends through a friendship between their fathers Pai is Lau's daughter though for most of the game's supplemental stories show that their relationship is very strained.

[@ajskylesbroflovski2250]

@@MoonlightStrider That's cool. Are there any other stories between characters or rivalries between them?

[@MoonlightStrider]

@@ajskylesbroflovski2250 There is man. Aoi and Brad have a rivalry due to the fact Aoi lost to him in the 4th tournament after Brad distracted her with his womanizing charms Lion and Jean Kujo are rivals since Jean has been tasked by Judgement 6 to kill him though they don't realize they were childhood friends Vanessa and Goh are rivals since Vanessa escaped J6 and Goh's been assigned to kill her, Goh also has a rivalry with Jacky since it's implied Jacky beat him in the 4th tournament Lau and Lei Fei are rivals due to the fact Lei Fei tried to kill the aging Koen Ken master while he tried to learn Lau's art he ended up fixing Lau's relationship with Pai after she saved her father. Kage and Shun are rivals after fighting each other in the finals of the fourth tournament but the match was a no contest after Dural (aka Tsukikage, Kage's mother, brainwashed) interupted the tournament. Wolf and El Blaze are rivals though Wolf did have a friendly rivalry with Akira before Wolf started having dreams of an apocalypse caused by J6 though this seemed to have stopped after the fourth tournament, El Blaze enters the 5th tournament because he's jealous of Wolf's success in the heavyweight wrestling division while he finds success in the light heavyweight division, he wants to prove that "Heavyweights are nothing to him" Jeffrey and Taka Arashi are rivals mainly because they're both heavy hitting heavyweights though their reasons for entering the tournaments are different, Taka wants to prove himself against the best while Jeffery wants the prize money to pay for the means to hunt a giant shark called the Devil Shark though in the 5th game the supplemental material tells you that J6 has stolen the Devil Shark and Jeffery wants dibs on it. And you've got Akira who mainly fights to understand what "True fighting" is about and to hone his Bajiquan (Hakkyokou Ken) style

[@ajskylesbroflovski2250]

@@MoonlightStrider Holy crap dude. There is a lot to learn that have been overlooking and I think that this J6 is an evil organization like the Akatsuki. Dural is Kage's mom? So she's basically like Frost from Mk11 or Seth from Street Fighter. Same as for Akira to Ryu and I'm sure that Eileen and Sarah are just chilling and living life. This is genuinely insane. It goes way deeper than I thought. Lol

#Revive Virtual Fighter forgotten fighter game needs to be more love

[@melvinshine9841]

4:01 What was that damage?! Characters shouldn't be able to do 45% off *one* hit if it's not a command grab or super. 8:27 Akira just looking at her like, "You know you're not supposed to be up there, right?" I'm a Tekken guy, haven't touched a VF since the Saturn, but I do genuinely hope VF can make a proper comeback one day. I'm not optimistic, though, because Sega just finds ways to screw up.

[@truindividual]

Ultimate Showdown came out in June. Was ok but its been 15 years since a sequel has been released

[@SoulStreak64]

That damage is nothing compared to Tekken tag 2's damage. Seriously, it's so inconsistent thanks to rage and counter hits.

[@truindividual]

@@SoulStreak64 omg, what an unbalanced mess Tag 2 is. Fun though

[@KhushbuMel]

4:01 That move (the bodycheck) has been that way since VF2. The base damage is comically low, but racks up the deeper the move hits. Akira also gets a damage bonus if the bodycheck hits as a counter. This move can also duck under or outright ignore a bunch moves. What you saw was the absolute worst scenario for the opponent. The trade-off is that Akira's recovery, if the move is blocked, is so awful that the opponent has time to think about what their most damaging punish is! In VF5 Final/Ultimate Showdown, the evasive properties of the bodycheck are mostly gone now, and opponent chains track even successful dodgers far better. I can't tell you how many times I've been straight up stuffed out of this move by simple jabs, knees and elbows. It's much, much harder to YOLO or punish dodged attacks with the bodycheck now. As a trade-off for Akira, the block stun and pushback are now odd, making it awkward for the opponent to counter. If the opponent knows what they are doing though, Akira is still a dead man when this move is blocked. Despite the balancing in the most recent games, the bodycheck does MORE damage (60%+) now if Akira knows exactly what he's doing and his opponent is very, VERY unlucky, LOL.

[@randomtrainerx.3424]

I remember finding out about VF due to my uncle having this game, although Akira wasn't my first choice, he was interesting to play.

[@ViktorVasko]

[@mainaHighway]

CPU 아키라도 플레이어 못지않게 엄청 잘하죠. 그러나 아키라 특유의 직선적인 기술이 많아서 회피할 수 있는 기회가 많아 AI적으로는 대처하기 쉽게 만들어진 편입니다.

사실 신의욱 선배님의 영상을 많이 참고해서 버파 4로 대입해봤습니다 🤭 스텝의 활용 자체는 버파 3때 유용하지, 버파 4는 버튼 입력이 아닌 레버 입력이라 이제 무조건 앉아 대시로 캔슬해야합니다.

[@king-dragosancho17]

Akira may be the strongest character to use but the only problem is not only he has 2 punch combos his moves are impossible to do I tried using him I could only do a couple and his throws but not the whole thing Akira is one of the best

간지와 난이도가 안좋은 쪽으로 비례했던 캐릭터... 수라패왕고화산이랑 서서 쌍장이 아무리 연습해도 늘지 않아서 때려친 기억이 있네요 ; 제슬이라거나 니킥은 안써도 그만이었다지만... 대신 콤보 데미지 하나는 정말 끝내줬던... 아 물론 제가 그 콤보들을 쓸 수 있었다는건 아닙니다(...) 영상 재밌게 잘봤습니다 수고하셨습니다!

[@mainaHighway]

다 못써도 약보정주(666P) 하나만이라도 잘 쓰면 꽤 좋았어요. 버파에서도 날먹기가 여럿 있지만 그 중에서 약보정주는 정말 대회에서도 자주 보일 정도로 주력기라 한번 질러보자는 식으로 가위바위보 싸움. 저는 수패고 자체는 쓸 줄 아는데 패드로만 쓸 줄 압니다 🤭

마이나님은 버파 2랑 4 중에서 어느걸 더 선호하시나요? 전 2를 더 선호하는것 같네요

[@mainaHighway]

저는 3편을 더 좋아합니다. 3편 특유의 어려운 조작감과 더불어서 3편도 4편 못지 않게 잘 만들어졌거든요. 애석하게도 3편이 드캐에서만 나왔기 때문에 TAS로 못합니다.

[@새로운시작-r1b]

@@mainaHighway 3편을 좋아하신다라... 그나저나 마이나님께선 어려운 조작감을 좋아하시는군요 보면 다들 조작감이 어려운건 싫어하던데욬ㅋㅋ

[@mainaHighway]

꼭 그렇지도 않은게, 3편이 2편과 4편의 중간 느낌이고, E 버튼이라는 특이한 회피기 시스템이 있는데, 이걸 이용해서 철권 스럽게 횡을 자연스럽게 치면서 움직이고, 버파 특유의 스피디한 게임성이 마음에 들어서 그래요. 저는 일본 아케이드나 우연찮게도 친구 집에 버파 3를 많이해서 기억이 나는데 철권 4 처럼 맵에 고저차가 있어서 타카 맵, 아키라 맵, 사라 맵 이렇게 많이 했어요. 파이 맵, 리온 맵은 브금이 좋아서 하는 맵. 지금이야 일본은 물론 디코에서도 버파 3의 인기는 여전히 좋습니다.

[@새로운시작-r1b]

@@mainaHighway 그렇게 되는군요 3에선 e버튼으로 회피를 하는군요 4에서도 버튼으로 회피하나요 철권에선 레버를 두번 당겨서는 회피한다고 하던데요

[@mainaHighway]

@@새로운시작-r1b 아까도 말했지만 버파 3에서만 E 버튼이라고 각종 레버 상황에 피하는 기술이 있고, P+E나 K+E나 피하면서 옆으로 잽, 킥 이렇게 사용이 되고요, 일반적인 E버튼은 4~5편의 공격 회피 모션이라 횡 성능이 굉장히 좋아서 가정용인 3TB에서 많이 약화가 되긴 했지만 E 캔슬이라고 이름하야 코리안 스텝으로써 철권 못지 않은 횡신력을 보여줄 수 있었습니다. 신의욱 씨의 대회 영상만 봐도 E 버튼의 잠재력을 참고하실 수 있고요. 그외 4편 이후로는 레버 횡이동, 회피 이렇게 두 가지로 놓일 수 있는데, 횡이동은 그냥 철권 시리즈 처럼 소리가 안나고, 철권 시리즈하고는 달리 동작의 틈이 커서 잡기나 양횡 공격에 취약한 단점이 있어서, 앉아 대시로 캔슬해야 횡이동 딜레이를 줄일 수 있어요. 전작의 E 버튼의 모션이고, 발동 조건은 상대방이 직선 공격 혹은 회전(시계 혹은 반시계쪽 양횡 공격은 회피 안됨)공격으로 회피에 성공하면 소리가 나오면서 횡이동 하는 시스템이에요. 오히려 버튼 때문에 취향차이가 갈리긴 하지만 버파 3를 집요하게 파고드는 사람도 있을 정도로 현지 일본에서도 인기는 여전히 좋습니다. 마지막으로 철권에서도 철권 3, 태그 1 만해도 "버튼 회피 설정" 이 있긴 있었어요. 버튼 만큼 편하디 편하긴 한데 물론 버파 만큼이나 회피가 좋진 않고, 횡이동 도중에도 쿨타임이 있어서 횡을 치고 바로 횡을 못해요. 횡캔횡이 되는 건 철권 5부터 개선이 됩니다.

[@JK-ji7py]

추억에 눈물이나네요..한국은 철권이 지배했지만 그래픽 사운드 박력면에선 동시대 버파4만한 겜은 없었던거같습니다

[@mainaHighway]

저는 버파 3를 굉장히 좋아했는데, 애석하게도 버파 3에 맞는 레코딩 에뮬레이터가 없어서 부득이 하게 버파 1, 2, 4, 4에볼만 할 수 있게 됐네요. 버파는 시리즈 별 취향차이가 확실하다보니까 팬덤도 확실히 2편만 파고드는 사람과 3편만 파고드는 사람의 차이가 확실하더라고요. 👻
