I find it interesting that while VF5FS/VF5US removed certain strings that appeared in VF5 Vanilla/R, those same strings would find later use in DOA5 Ultimate and Last Round. See Sarah's Spear Kick Combo variations for example.
Not gonna lie, back when I played DOA competitively, I usually beat myself and kept saying that I suck whenever I lose. But in VF, I don't feel that way when I lose my matches.
VF5US's Summer Update came out and added Team Battle Mode, and other features. But what stood out from the update was the fact that VFDC got an official shoutout from SEGA thanks to two of the three new titles that were VFDC-related.
