After his inspirational beatdowns by Homestay Akira during EVO 2018, a reinvigorated @adamYUKI was driven to create a new chapter in a long standing tradition of Virtua Fighter Gatherings -- the inaugural Los Angeles Gathering (LAG). Taking place over the weekend of 18-19 January 2019, VFers gathered from near and afar to welcome, play against, and learn from the legend himself Homestay Akira who happened to be accompanied by his wife, a formidable VF player in her own right!

On Sunday, 13 January 2019 the annual Kyushu Tentai Cup VF5FS tournament took place in the southwestern island of Kyushu, Japan at the Taito Station Fukuoka Tenjin arcade. The Tentai (Celestial) Cup saw 21 teams entering, consisting of 105 players with many strong players from the north of Japan in attendance!

As 2018 has come to a close, so has the 25th Anniversary of Virtua Fighter. As a tribue, both @MadeManG74 and I thought it'd be fun to commemorate the occasion by compiling a list of 25 things you probably didn't know about Virtua Fighter!

During the Tekken World Tournament 2018 finals stream, Tekken director and producer Katushiro Harada made an interesting comment to the effect that, even if SEGA gave them the VF license and dev team, the hardcore VF community would still reject the game just by seeing the Bandai Namco on the startup screen. So, do you agree?

We've speculated and speculated some more about whether or not a new Virtua Fighter was in the works, and now we've got more fuel to add to the speculative fire! Siliconera recently reported that SEGA had filed to renew the existing trademark for Virtua Fighter, along with a new trademark for a title called 'Battle Genesis'. What could this mean?
