Wow that troll has some stopping power lol. I also love how everyone thinks FS came out five years ago, when in reality it is the newest iteration of the game. The game still looks amazing but its one of those games where the vids and images don’t do it justice.
$45 for all the bells and whistles? Count me in. I’ve paid $60 for less. Did I just start an argument?
I plan on being at EVO for SCV…so, bet your ass I jumped on that VF5 FS Tourney. First 256 made me jump on that ship early.
Let’s do this! GET IN THERE!
Already registered. I hope they open up the tournament to international players though. I’m fairly certain at least some have already made arrangements. Good thing they’re checking up on it.
Tournament is open to everyone. This includes non-US residents.
a couple of oddities to note about the Evo tournament’s format
(assuming they are going to use a standard double elimination bracket)
- it appears there will be probably be a tie-breaker set (outside the scope of the bracket) between the two 5th place finishers (to get one 5th and one 6th) and between the two 7th place finishers (to get one 7th and one 8th)
- the 9th placer finishers (four of them) and the 13th place finishers (four of them) will receive the same amount of prize money
it’s really, really, really awesome that Sega is doing this.
based on the previous Evo announcement about seating/capacity (no booths on Sunday to make as much room as possible for spectators), it sounds like the last two matches of this are actually going to be up on the big screen on finals day.
A really awesome set/ranking battle, probably my favourite one thus far. Some amazing Lei-Fei play and great players like Kaibutsu, Shiwa, Itoshun, Wasakon, Zen, Raki, etc:

That should be enough VF to satisfy those who couldn’t wait for tomorrow =]
The first Lei Fei player in those vids is “The Man.” I believe the second one, in the outfit with the long blond hair (looks like Krauser from “Detroit Metal City”), is “Chabouzou.” I think the third Lei player is “Algol,” followed by a bunch of symbols I can’t read. PS, probably gonna post these on NeoGAF to bump the VF5FS thread. Thanks for converting these. 
Thank you for the help; however thanks to Akai I was able to confirm that the Lei player in white is Chabouzu; the green Lei is Zetoman (I actually forgot I had his name labeled in Hiragana in another video I had, so I know it’s him) and the one with the blond hair and cape is Ou Koukumin. As for The Man I had already put his name down as thus, it’s just that sometimes players make their display names different from their known aliases.
Wow, I was way off, haha. Anyway good to know. There’s going to be a 3on3 stream tonight at 2 a.m. Pacific time. Pretty late, but probably worth watching if you’re going to be up. Info here: http://virtuafighter.com/forums/ubbthreads.php/topics/322111/Railway%20Series%20Stage%202-03
It is a bummer knowing that the majority of people won’t be able to see your customized character. The price is still killer though. Is there any way to transfer your customs to another console for offline play?
no
With the 360 you should be able to save your data to Cloud storage; then when you download your profile on another 360 you should be able to access your profile save data.
It’s a real shame though; it would really sell the game well during tourney’s/streams if profiles were portable.
PS3 has the same function, now only if we can get a cross platform cloud storage function.
I think I’ve noticed the PS3 version, but don’t you need to be a Plus member?
Yeah sadly…
what are the primary virtua fighter websites/forums?
Links to great websites and youtube channels.
http://virtuafighter.com is pretty much the SRK of VF the first site you should go to.
BTW the epic Fuudo vs Chibita stream starts in 2hrs:
Can’t you just carryt he info for your customs on a flash drive?
It would be sick if Bluetooth technology was useful for something. Like send your character to your cell phone and then wave that shit around to load it to whatever other console.
