Playing judoka Goh Hinogami in Quest mode (on Hard) of Virtua Fighter 5 on PS3! After a false start where I went a little too hard with down attacks (and some trouble with Kages--that continued through the session :P), I bashed through the VF Battle Masters tournament for the first time. And after fighting for a while in Sega Park East, I ran into the most amazing Goh AI I've met so far!
0:00 - start
2:07 - VF Battle Masters run 1
4:58 - promoted to Warrior rank!
16:32 - VF Battle Masters run 2
27:40 - status
30:50 - trying 'p' to wrap up Sega Arena Coast
46:10 - fighting in Sega Arena East
49:43 - Club Sega Bay Area tournament
1:02:56 - vs "Man o mule" (9th dan Goh, Sega Arena East)
1:15:24 - wrap-up & what's next!
Well, I learned not to try doing down attacks all the time. That Goh AI, "Man o mule," did loads of them on me, especially the throws; I'm starting to suspect that in order to get a down throw in fast enough, you have to deck the opponent with specific moves--like maybe that palm slap he liked (bfP).
By the way, check out the match-winning Ring Out he engineered against me at 1'11"13. : o I gotta figure out how to do that shoulder push thing he does after throwing me back off my feet.
