The 2nd aspect his more complex as it depends on which level of play you're talking about (and shitloads of other aspects). If you take Jeffry for instance, the first aspect is quite easy to master, his combos are quite easy to pull out, his moves as well (exept maybe TOKD and hit throws but these are not crucial IMO), Akira on the other hand requires training to be able to pull out his most damaging combos. You 're contradicting yourself bigtime here.Р”Р„s for tiers etc I believe you have to distinguish 2 different aspects:Р”РЋ- Learning your moveset, combos etc which difficulty changes from one char to another (hard for Akira, pretty easy with Lion or Jeff for instance, i'm talking about basic shit here not stance dependant combos etc)Р”Сћ-Learning to use your moveset effectively in the VF gameplay system I've played jeffrey half the time i spent on akira and i can say without question i am twice as good with jeffrey, does this mean he's a better character? Luck is also a different thing in VF than most other fighting games.Р”Р„nd no character requires less time to become good with over another. The matches can be 'ripped apart' and therefore proved if one thing works or not and why it didnР“С“РІР‚С™Р“вЂљР’Т‘t work. In the world of fighting games, VF has itР“С“РІР‚С™Р“вЂљР’Т‘s most elements designed such a manner that it can be analyzed very well by numeric variables and by spesific 'scenario' thinking. That is also why IР“С“РІР‚С™Р“вЂљР’Т‘m talking purely in relative sense. By no means, IР“С“РІР‚С™Р“вЂљР’Т‘m a culture research student in university and pretty much forced to think this stuff most of the time. ItР“С“РІР‚С™Р“вЂљР’Т‘s my nitpicking time! I think that the term scientific is mostly subjective in this case and determined by what people are thought to consider as 'scientific'. Perhaps VF1 wasnР“С“РІР‚С™Р“вЂљР’Т‘t so deep to be that 'deep', but it certainly went through with VF 2 judging by many playersР“С“РІР‚С™Р“вЂљР’Т‘ opinions. The game gets more elements in there with so many circumstances. Most of it can be analyzed by numbers and possibilities. That 'scientifically' sentence was only meant to exemplify how deeply thought out game VF really is. There's little to no science involved in the design of VF game'play' system (I will take exception to hardware design only).

But 'Scientifically Determined' ? /versus/images/graemlins/tongue.gif Well, I'd disagree with the term wholeheartedly. It would be much more easier to put 'easiest characters to play'-list than 'the best characters'-one.Р”В¬omplex, Well Structured, Detail Oriented - I'd buy these terms.

VF is a gamers game first and foremost and it has enough fuel to please players needs and various playing styles. so I think that proves my point even more. Judging from the viewpoint on EVO 2004, the results were: After hanging around in VF circles for years I can say that there have been awesome players with all characters more than most other fighters and that VF has so much 'depth' and different variables that affect the gameplay that playing it optimally with most characters will take absolutely months, if not years. Like how easy it is to fight satisfactory with X character. Most players tend to stick with a couple their strongest characters so tiers seem to look as the way they look for specific reasons. I would like to add that in FT, it seems that the amount on Kage players has diminished after the change on TFT throw command.
