Virtua Fighter 5 Final Showdown
Today at AOU2010, SEGA unveiled the latest update to the VF5 series titled Virtua Fighter 5 Final Showdown. A movie demo has been made available for download at SEGA's official VF5 website, and here's a YouTube link for good measure.

The movie shown gives a taste of new costumes, items, and more importantly, changes to gameplay. We can only speculate at what these gameplay changes are given the brief glimpse the video affords.

To discuss this news further, check out the Virtua Fighter 5 Final Showdown thread!

What about the VF5R for Console Petition?
As many of you would know, VFDC in collaboration with kamaage of vfdojo.net are conducting a petition to get the latest version of VF5 ported to consoles (see Petition announcement). Yesterday that version happened to be VF5R, but today it is VF5FS.

Let's not lose sight of our original goal, which was to send SEGA a message -- a message to say that we, outside of Japan, want the opportunity to play the latest version of Virtua Fighter. The petition is the vehicle by which we will deliver that message. If you haven't already posted in the petition thread, then perhaps VF5 Final Showdown can be that extra motivation you need?

Petition for VF5R on Console
A well known and respected VFer in Japan, Kamaage, was invited to meet with SEGA on the 28th January 2010. Leading up to this meeting, Kamaage approached VFDC with an opportunity to express our desire to have Virtua Fighter 5R ported to console directly to SEGA. He suggested we put together a document that explained a little about VFDC along with personalised messages from players in the community. If the document could reach 100 or so pages, then surely SEGA would be impressed, or so Kamaage thought!

After his meeting, Kamaage informed us that while the document was impressive, it simply wasn't enough. Kamaage now has another opportunity to pass our document to SEGA, but it must have more impact, at least 5x more!


How You Can Help!
Simply post a reply leaving a message expressing your desire to play VF5R on console. Feel free to share your VF playing history, why you like the game, etc. To lend weight to your message, please leave your real name, and your location along with your post.
