I use to play a mean game of fighters mega mix does that count?
I’ve been playing long enough that I should be…but I’m not…
There are two people on this page that are that posted, tho’.
I’m trying, but not sure I can talk myself into a PS3 for this one game.
Especially since I’ll likely get nuthin but a fat load of kumite with the total lack of players 'round here.
Okay, the 1st official national tournament airs LIVE tonight on the web (11pm EST), Otenami Haiken 5. If you want to watch it, you must follow the instructions in this thread, and join #vfhome on EFnet before it airs.

You beat me to it cygnus, I was writing a long post about it just now and canceled it when I saw yours. I would finished sooner if I didn’t stop for breakfast. 
can someone help me out? I’m all signed up but like the poster on vfdc said you can’t watch outside of japan without doing ‘tricky stuff’. Then he says go to where the VF’ers hang out. I’m confused, maybe I’m just being an idiot but I don’t know what this means. I took far too long to sign up and I don’t want it to be wasted by not being able to watch the steam. So can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks

Well, just spent 3 hours trying to connect to the stream at 2 locations with no success. I’m pretty unhappy with Sega at the moment, everything about VF5 is nationalist as hell.
I was lucky enough to catch most of it. :cybot:
Fuudo, a Lion player won. Here is the YouTube links of the final match

Here is some camera vids we captured in NYC.
Are there any players in NorCal from SRK?
We have a pretty decent scene going now in NorCal, if anyone is interested, there are about 18-20 players now along with a Final Tuned machine in NorCal.
We’d be happy to meet some new players. VFDC has info as well if you need more details or just pm me.
I live in norcal but I pretty much play the computer. If theres a actual meeting place thatd be cool.
Any idea where all the other characters placed? we got lion in 1st kage in 2nd
also any lists of characters popularity? i’m going to be guessing the usual akira,kage,jacky?
Only 1 Akira qualified but got knocked out in the first round. But basically yeah alot of jacky’s kage’s and a couple pai’s.
