Discussion from "VF5R for console effort" thread

thanks for coming guys!

 

yes 2 times already

how much msg do we have now? We had 98 on 27.01.2010

 

@ Those who think this is pointless: Without hopes and dreams humanity would still live in a cave. It's better to do something than do nothing. If you have time to write that its pointless you have time to write a message to sega ^-^

Even if its pointless there is always a chance! Even if its small we should use it. <- almost every anime tells you to do so! God damn it!! So everyone write a msg already we have 12035 registered users at vfdc if just 1 3rd posts a msg we should have 1000 pages!!

 

Also since we have people from all around the world here we should do a News text in a lot of different languages and send them to the different gaming websites. Mine in german is ready @ german players please read it and give feedback to further improve it:

Größte internationale Virtua Fighter Fanseite startet Petition.


Virtua Fighter eine bekannte Beat’em up Spielereihe, besitzt seit dem 24 Juli 2008 den neuesten Teil in der Reihe: Das Spiel Virtua Fighter 5R, welches in den japanischen Arcades läuft. Es wird schon lange von Fans des Genres heiß auf Konsole erwartet. Sega jedoch hat bis heute noch kein Release angekündigt. Nach 1 ½ Jahren ist ein Konsolen-Port lange überfällig.

Kamaage ein angesehener Japanischer Virtua Fighter Spieler wurde von Sega für ein Interview eingeladen. Er hatte die Idee, eine 100 Seiten lange Petition mit zu diesem Meeting zu nehmen und schlug VFDC (Virtua Fighter Dot Com) der größten internationalen Virtua Fighter Fan Gemeinschaft vor, sie sollten Namen, Orte und Nachrichten von Spielern an Sega sammeln. Dieses 100 Seiten lange Dokument nahm er mit. Kamaage teilte VFDC mit dass diese 100 Seiten zwar eindrucksvoll waren, aber es 5x mehr sein müssten um wirklich Eindruck zu machen. Er hat immer noch Kontakt zu Sega und das neue Dokument wird sogar zu den Entwicklern des Spiels (AM2) und dem derzeitigen Präsidenten von Sega weitergeleitet. Daher rufen Virtua Fighter Fans weltweit dazu auf mitzumachen.

A lot users send me the Text per PM though.

 

Here is the one Libertine made on Tekken Zaibatsu: http://www.tekkenzaibatsu.com/forums/showthread.php?threadid=116092

There was also a VF general discusion on SRK with quite a few posts about this but I can't find it

 

HEY! Thanks for the effort people! Let's keep the flame alive!!!

There are three different VF related threads in SRK's Fighting Game Discussion sub-forum.

 

For this to work, the majority of the 500 pages should be full of funny pictures and videos.

Apart from the last 10 pages or so.

 

Should include Rod shredding his disc.

 

I have searched this thread for this but couldn´t find anything related to this idea i just had:

Has someone here already tried to contact (for the want of a better word) fighting game "celebrities" to ask them to spread the word of this campaign?

People like Justin Wong, Alex Valle or David Sirlin have their own blogs (or even websites along with forums) with lots of people reading them. Ok, those three examples hail from Street Fighter but they were just the first to come to my mind. Maybe people like them are friendly enough to help players of other FG communities with such a petition?

 

@quaelgeist I think thats a really good idea.

 

I said that in the shoutbox yesterday.

I never mentioned Sirlin though, it may be worth asking him.

Ryan Hart might be worth asking 'cause he was a VF player as well.

 

Yea Ryan was a big loss, I bet he quit cause FT wasnt ported to console. Cause he quit before VF5.

 

@MystD
Well, maybe someone "official" like the Admins of this forum could contact them?
(I think that would surely look more sincere than just some random user).

And lets not forget gootecks

These people can be found at:

Does anyone know well known players / celebs from other Fighting Games like Soul Calibur, Tekken, Blazblue and such?
The name Kayane comes to my mind but i do not know how popular she really is.

EDIT: Two answers while i was writing mine (and watching a youtube vid ). nice.
And maybe i should finally start paying attention to shoutboxes *g*

 

Myke said he was going to contact the heads of the other Fighting game communities to see if they could help.

I don't know how that's working out though.

I'm sure he'll let us know at some point.

 

Looks like he asked them to put something up on the front page of SRK.

http://www.shoryuken.com/content.php?r=107-You-can-help-bring-VF5R-to-consoles

He quit because of the lack of players, I remember him saying he prefers VF over SF and Tekken but he hasn't played much since 5 came out because there's no competition.

 

Yea I understand him, he was pretty much out of our league. I would really love to play him again though, I've improved very much since 2005. Damn now that I wrote 2005 its been 5 years already XD
