In this third episode of Jaxel's Power Hour, he weighs in with an opinion on why 3D fighters aren't as popular as their 2D counterparts, particularly from the spectator's vantage point as well as community support. Do you agree with his points?

This past weekend, VF veteran LA Akira had a training session with Justin Wong and Floe (professional fighting game players known mostly for their play in 2D games). The video of the session was streamed and archived on twitch. Some of the topics discussed during the offline session, included the importance of , fast mid (), fuzzy guard, and general frame ranges (fuzzy range, nitaku range and guaranteed damage range). Also briefly touched were character specific common denominators. For example, majority of Jacky's strings on the second hit connect at the high attack level.

For those curious on the progression of Justin Wong in Virtua Fighter or want to see players learning to apply VF fundamentals in versus matches go check out the VF5 with @laakira video!

At 2130 hrs, local Tokyo time, a Virtua Fighter 2 First-to-10 Exhibition battle will take place between Aopai (famous Pai player) and D.K. (director of VF!). This event will be streamed live on Battlecore's Ustream Channel. Don't miss out!

Have you ever wondered what the best throw to use is? Should you do your most damaging throw? Should you mix up your throws? Should you do the weakest throw because no one breaks it?

Fighting games are based on two players making decisions simultaneously. Different choices give different payoffs.

Dora neko akira has put together another fantastic video that showcases attacks against Oten-Ukemi (Side-Roll Recovery) that can lead into very damaging combos! For anyone wanting to sharpen up their Ukemi-zeme game, you don't want to miss this!

Cool things are afoot in the land of VF... things like Justin Wong and SEGA Cup.

Here's hoping he trains at WNF.
