Comments on: How Virtua Fighter 4 ruined fighting games for me. http://percentsign20.com/wp/2009/06/23/how-virtua-fighter-4-ruined-fighting-games-for-me/ Some jerk from Los Angeles nerding it up about video games, sports, and politics, in long form!

I did grab the "Training Manual" in PDF though, but couldn't find the game's manual proper. I also knew about the display commands thing in Training Mode which gets you part of the way there. I don't remember the Challenge Mode's Trial Mode (versus Attack Mode which was something different) being particularly useful though. Honestly, had I magically not had a ton of other games to play that I owned or were sitting in my GF queue, I probably would have stuck with it for a while longer. But I did!

If you're new to Street Fighter type training modes, you should read the instruction booklet that is provided with the game, as this is covered there. The Training mode is actually very good at training you how to do things, and practice execution. You can "Record" actions for the cpu player to do, (Jump RH, crouch RH, Jump Back, foreball for example) and test all of your different options against whatever you can come up with. Another sweet feature, unrelated, is when you watch replays of the top ranked matches online, you can actually watch the command inputs the players went through as you watch the match, so you can see who button mashes and who has perfect execution :) “Challenge Mode” of SFIV has the ‘do this combo/this is what a char can do’ and you can turn on your command inputs in training mode to see why you’re missing moves.
