PyroGuy's Old VF3 Notes--1998

NOTE: The following announcement is no longer effective. There is now someone to head the Virtua Fighter section of fighters.net. However, as of the time of this notice, outside help from other VFers is appreciated.

updated Monday, April 27, 1998: There isn't a very big update today. I've already said the VF page is pretty much done. I added some more links to the VF Links section. The one I'd definately reccomend is "Tao of Virtua Fighter." There's simply a ton of documents and info on that page. I'm experimenting with different images now; I might put on a background image or something for this page. Again, happy VFing, this will probably be the last update in a while.
updated Sunday, April 12, 1998: Wow! I think my Virtua Fighter 3 Page is now completely done, except for one thing! I'm working on an image gallery of stuff I'm drawing or putting on the web! When I get enough cool images, I'll put it up for all to see! But you want to know what's going on now, don't you? Today, I added three more links to my VFlinks section, along with descriptions. I now have 40 Virtua Fighter links! Also, I changed the introduction on this page. I made it a lot longer, explaining a little about my different sections. I made a few minor changes, like centering the text about Mr. Angry at the top, changing the Credits section, etc. Another possible future outlook is adding a very light, probably grey, background design for this page. Also, if this is the first time you've been to my Virtua Fighter page, or you haven't been here in a while, read the "New stuff and notes from earlier this month" section farther down on this main page, from April 11. I talk about a combo I did as Kage which was really awesome--about 80% damage, and knocked the opponent out of the ring from the starting position! Also in the future I'll probably add more links as I find them. Sorry, yesterday I made a bunch of typos in writing the links so they didn't work, but now the links from yesterday's updates should. But for now enjoy my huge VF3 page, and have a fun time playing Virtua Fighter 3!
updated Saturday, April 11, 1998: The first thing I want to say is a general note to the VF community. I was playing as Kage for the first time in a long time, and I did an awesome combo. I didn't put it on the Combo List yet, because I'm not sure exactly the conditions. Without further delay, this was it: uf+K+G,f,d,df+P,df+K+G,d+K,df+K. Forward flipkick, uppercut, reverseflipkick, low TT kick, ground stomp. The whole thing connectd. It was against Sarah in her stage. I'd seen the uf+K+G,uppercut on combo lists, and that it would connect if the first hit was a major counter. I'd never done it 'till today, and I just kept going. I doubted the reverse flipkick (df+K+G, sorry if my move names of Kage's are wrong) would connect, but apparently it scraped along the ground and hit Sarah. Half the time you connect with it, you can get a low turnaround kick, ground stomp after it. Just that part's a very easy, almost 50% damage Kage combo. With the reverse flipkick as a major counter and uppercut before it, the combo did about 90% damage (or maybe 80%--I could be exagerating; it depends on how many damage points the lifebars are set on, anyway)! The cool thing was that Kage hit Sarah so many times that she was pushed so far back that she fell out of the ring as soon as she started getting up! I did this as soon as the round began, so she got pushed back half the ring! So I think for it to work it has to be against a light character, and the first hit must be an MC. It's possible, though, that Sarah had started rolling forward, and the df+K+G hit her out of the roll, but very unlikely, because I almost definately would have noticed her rolling; I have a quick eye for VF. I'd REALLY like some feedback on if anyone knows how to do this properly, or if it's possible without hitting her while rolling, or anything about it in general. On to the updates! Well, guess what I've been doing for the past 10 days since you last saw an updaten (besides playing VF3). Slacking doing nothing? Nope, I've been hard at work on my beloved Virtua Fighter 3 page for all you folks out htere in netland. I've got several things for you today. I need to say first, finally Kage-maru has his own character page lovingly crafted by me. I've still got the link to DreamMaster's Kage FAQ [note that DreamMaster's pages are now on Tripod, not Geocities, so the Kagepage url changed] on all the character pages, along with my Kage page. Actually, something to note: I now have links to every single character page from each character page, and the main VF charcters page. Speaking of characters, I went back over the Akira and Jacky pages, which are actually moves lists. I'd made them a while ago, and some of the terminology I'd used was different than general VF speak, so I changed it, along with the Key, along with adding more terms on the key. Additionally, I fixed what I'd put for the enemy's reactions on the Akira page; some were wrong since I'd done it a long time ago before I was as goodat VF3 as I am now. Check out the VF Links section! I now have 36 VF links, plus descriptions for every single one of them! It takes a while to visit and write descriptions for that many links, plus add two more. Finally, what you've all probably noticed, I changed the images at the top of the page (twice, actually--for a few days I had an image that was pretty much like the text except the words were above and below the VF3 icon.) I now have a fiery, pyro-looking logo, along with a crude animation of Akira SPoDing "MR. Angry" (thank you AkiraMad for coming up with that name. I know the animation isn't all that great; it's only 4 frames, in black and white, and I didn't even draw Akira's whole costume. Keep in mind I did it very quickly, and will probbly add color and more frames later. I'm sorry my page may load slowly, but I had to upload all the images at the tripod ftp server since every time I tried to use Angelfire's in the past 2 months it didn't work. But, hey, slow images are better than no images! But it would be great if you VFers out there would tell me what you think of the images!
updated Thursday, April 2, 1998: Wahoo!!! Another big accomplishment! Today marked the 1000th hit to my Virtua Figher page! 1000! Yes! I also have some awesome updates for today. First of all, AkiraMad mailed me some notes on his Akira 90-combo list. So I put the notes up on there. If you haven't been there yet, check it out! It's awesome! BTW, there were already 20 hits to the Akira combo list and it's only been up about a week! Way to go AkiraMad! Also, I added a counter to Tigeraid's combo list, which I'd forgotten to do before. Sorry, Tigeraid. He's got anywhere from 10 to 80 combos for half the characters! I added a ton more (about 8) links to the links page, along with deleting old links that don't work anymore. Plus I added a links counter and made it look a little nicer than the old black and gray. And finally, there were two more votes in the survey, and guess what! Yep, both people voted for Virtua Fighter! Check out the much-neglected survey section to see the exact stats on how many votes went to each game (VF IS winning). I'll probably make my own Kage character page soon, instead of using the DreamMaster's awesome Kage FAQ for more Kage link.
