The only difference nowadays is that Muay Thai and Kickboxing are sports that share similar techniques but have different rulesets. Elbows, catching kicks, and clinch are usually either illegal or limited in Kickboxing. At the same time, Kickboxing and Muay Thai are sometimes used as umbrella terms amongst fighters for striking dominant sports that allow you to strike with your arms and legs. So, the definition of Muay Thai and Kickboxing is not a very clear one even today. But in this case, I would argue that Muay Thai would be the correct term. The term "kickboxing" would not exist without Muay Thai. Brad's head movements do imply a more Kickboxing centric style but you could argue his long guard stance is very common in Muay Thai. Considering VF is a Japanese game, it's not surprising that they would refer to his style as "Kickboxing." I've heard the term Kickboxing was coined by Kenji Kurosaki, who adapted Karate with more Boxing and Muay Thai elements, after seeing numerous Japanese Karate fighters lose one on one bouts to Thais during the 1970s.
I play both. Brad is definitely more beginner friendly, and a good choice for new players. Akira is a lot of work, so it's not a bad idea to focus on Brad at first, and keep working on Akira until you're ready to cook.
my first online opponent was washing buttons with this char, all his attacks were reaching me and hitting me while none of my attacks were landing, i was using the drunk guy....i couldn't win 1 round then i closed and uninstalled the game...the game is too clunky any button mashing idiot can constatly knock you on your ass
The problem is you failed to practice the fundamentals. Learn to block and evade by going to the training mode. Once you are good enough, try again fighting online opponents. Learn for losing to understand your shortcoming. That way, your first victory will feel like a reward and your gameplay will flow better.
@@WatsonDynamite i was blocking, and the moment i released the block thinking it's my turn I got knocked on my ass again...idk I couldn't tell when it's my turn ...it feels like too many attacks cause knockdowns , it's a knockdown fest
Presenting The BRAD SHOW!!!
“Might makes RIIIIIIIGHT 🎵”
It's Go Time Baby!
Yeah...GOH time!!!
As a Bryan main, Imma pick this guy!
I'm coming from Tekken 8 as a Bryan player and I'm picking him too lol
As a Bryan loyalist i Will do the same
He's more Steve than Bryan, to be honest. But don't let me get in the way of a good time, go kick some ass, boys.
As a Steve main I will pick this guy
@@Sazime888 Exact same.
Steve main, Brad future main.
Really good for Bryan mains
They keep saying he's a kickboxer, but his moveset screams Muay Thai. What's up with that?
It's kinda melded together; Muay Thai is just kickboxing at its core.
Because muay Thai is often conflated with kickboxing.
His strings have lots of bobbing and weaving that come from kickboxing. Muay Thai movement is much more contained.

Thanks for that.
Break em down! 👊🏼 👊🏼 💥
Brad and Akira, one of these 2 characters will be my main. Akira next please. I'mma begginer in VF, and please drop this game in consoles please.
The balance update is already on PS4/5, but it doesn't feature rollback netcode.

@@JamesNordberg-xv2pq What about Goh? I played him, when i had ps plus. Kinda simular to Dragunov from Tekken, waiting for ch, throw attempts
Goh and Akira are higher level players, best to pick up basics with like Jackie, brad, ellieen, pai etc.
MY GOAT!!!
Checkmate!
He's gonna be a main just for the Ichiban costume.
Track name?
Terrace theme from vf5 ultimate showdown
@ ty very much :)
大して人気ないから次回作いなくてもいいキャラかな。

Get back in it, man. Don't give up yet. You got this.
You haven’t utilized the dodge system yet. Also some characters have ways to cheese spam just by standing still.
The problem is you failed to practice the fundamentals. Learn to block and evade by going to the training mode. Once you are good enough, try again fighting online opponents.

thank god the devs put in a block button right
