Level|Up's Wednesday Night Fight 2.3 Stream, Alex Valle celebrated his birthday with the guest appearance of L_A. Both respected players went through some old photos reminiscing about the Spot 21 Arcade, the fighting game scene before Daigo, and when AOL was still the hot thing. Around the 13 minute mark, they talked about Virtua Fighter and the invitation-only VF5FS Pre-Launch Party on May 19th, 2012. Guests at the event includes Fuudo, Chibita, Myke, and other members of the VFDC community. In the stream, Alex mentioned that L_A will be helping him out with the Pre-launch event. Check the archived stream link if you want to go down memory lane or get a glimpse of the fighting game community in the 1990s. Original information came from IGN Blog Entry (Live stream tip form Sudden_Death).

Virtua Fighter 5 Final Showdown is making its way around the United States! VF fans in the Midwest be happy as Keits from Shoryuken have announced that VF5FS will be demoed at the UFGT8 event in Chicago, IL from May 25th-27th. Similar to the NorCal Regionals 10 event in San Francisco, there will be a side tournament (64 player limit) with prizes given to the Top 8. If you live in the Midwest area and want to get a taste of VF5FS before it is officially released this might be the best event to go to!
Only two players in Japan have the rank of 天翔神 (Tenshoushin) - Itoshun (BR) and Joseph (AK). Tenshoushin is roughly translated as "Heavenly Soaring God." Itoshun was the first person to receive this rank by fighting against Joseph during a "Flame God" ranking battle in late 2011. Joseph got promoted to the Tenshoushin rank last month. Now both players will face each other again to determine who is the best! Who will get demoted!?

Sega seems to be collaborating with everyone these days! The Nintendo 3DS project between Capcom, Namco, and Sega has been know for a while now; however, it was recently revealed through Famitsu Magazine (check out the page for tons of footage from the game) that it will be a single player strategy RPG featuring characters from the three companies. Why is this on the front page of VFDC? For VF fans, Akira and Pai will be two of many characters representing Sega!Check out the original Sega vs Capcom vs Namco thread in which people were speculating on the game and its character lineup.
For all aspiring Aoi players out there, this video is a definite must-see. Resident Aoi expert, kingo, has been hard at work in the background with not only updating the Aoi Combo List and Aoi Strategy page, but has recently put together this great video showcase of Aoi's combos in Version C.For a more indepth discussion on these combos, please refer to kingo's original post Aoi VF5 vers. C combos video in the Aoi forum.
