Hey Kikkoken, you ought to play the game with a friend. I thought I'd never like VF but when my friend got a Saturn eons ago, he made me play VF2. I don't know how I fell in love with that game, but I did. Now I haven't played VF in four or five years, but I don't think I would enjoy it playing it alone. The game is super complex but just like SF, its not the same as a single player game. Although with SF its a little bit more funner as a single player game because you can practice combos, juggling and parryings with the CPU. I see VF as a total mind game, and to me, its no fun "tricking" the CPU.
I hope this game comes out for the Gamecube though.
Your answer is quite interesting. I shall try 2P mode then. The thing is, the little time I played the game, I mostly tried to use Aoi's counter moves in the practice mode and... had a hell of a time trying to find out the timing. Considering how poorly I could use her counters in 1P mode, I gave up playing the game altogether.

newer players to vf really should start with the easier characters. unlike 2d fighting games where similar tactics can allow you to get by for almost every character (but never allow you to be a pro), for vf each character is so different and adjusted to different skill levels that a beginner starting with akira will 100 times worse than a beginner starting with jacky or lau. the thing is, aoi is a high skill character, incredibly difficult to use well (must to tons of cancels and reversals and mind games with link throws) and not only that, she gets floated high so eats more damage. argh! too tough to use for beginners.
too bad all the "cool" characters like akira, aoi, and shun are high difficulty. try lei fei - hes good because hes cool and can be good for both beginners and advanced players.

I totally agree with Makatiel's post. VF is totally different from your run of the mill 2D fighters. Although each character in CvS2 plays different, there are many tactics and strategies that you can use with all of the characters. That's why its harder to get into VF because the learning curve is a lot higher and there is a lot less strategies that can be used with all the characters. And sadly, that's why I think VF is so unpopular here in the US. Kids just don't have the patience to learn VF- maybe one can argue that's due to there being little or no reward for them to do so, afterall arcades in the US are a lot weaker in comparison to Japanese ones.
I wonder if there were a lot of kids who were dissapointed with their purchase of VF4 for the PS2? VF is usually highly praised in video game mags and by everyone else- but its simply a tough game to get into. I know that VF3 for the DC was unfortunately always for sale used. (Just like most KOFs and SFA3!)
