Does Virtua Fighter Still Exist?

VF can always come back, people seem to forget that Melee was dead for years after brawl came out, at the end of the day it boils down to how much people are willing to support it.

Also, having a documentary might help...

 

Vf will only happen when $$ is involved

 

In his initial post he was specifically asking about competitive offline VF for money/prizes via tournaments. He wasn't asking about online or offline casuals, so the answer to that is no.

Icky is correct there needs to be $$$ involved.

 

Bring back Justin Wong so Sega can throw more money at him while GT nearly survives another Japanese gauntlet.

Or keep playing, I guess.

 

Myke's statement pretty much ends this discussion. Everything else just sounds like excuses.

 

Sega themselves had a huge part in this.

 

Stl_Tim is right. I completely agree. As long as you play and enjoy this game then it exists, there is nothing more than that. Just because sega isn't throwing money at the scene anymore (or ever did) doesn't mean I won't give this game a try. I think this is an amazing game and I can just only hope that more people will eventually see it and maybe pick it up. I am going to put in the effort to try to get good, play online, and if the chance arises go to a tournament if they're still being hosted by then.

 

where in upstate new york are you?

 

As of SFV's release. That's a tough question.

 

This thread is pointless. Those posting could be playing.

 

There you have it, @Myke answered the question: VF does not exist. GG.

 

We play VF on monday tuesday wednesday thursday friday and perhaps sunday. I don't understand the question

 

VF is dead in some peoples minds because they have deemed it so. The mind can be powerful. If you want to play VF...THEN PLAY! If you dont then sit down and stfu,but dont try to impose your preferences on others. And why are people makin sf5 an issue of vf popularity?????? VF is 3d and SF5 is 2d.

 

I am in the Rochester area, but it will be hard to play right now because I am in the middle of the college semester. Maybe I can try to introduce it to our local FGC club.

 

Introduce it to them, yeah. Definitely keep up with @oneida cause even though it is a far ride, I'll bet he'd offline with you on occasion, as well as having a stable online connection most likely.
That's also close enough that you can come to the next NYG if you are still interested by Summer time. We don't have exact dates for it yet, but it is usually in August. It's a good experience and a lot of people travel from far away for it, so you will get lots of exposure to competition. If you keep an eye on VFDC, we will probably be posting dates soon. Some of the best in the western world show up for VF, and it's a good way to see how much depth is in the game.

 

Same old thing that has been repeated before of the circular argument of gamers not caring because sega doesn't care because gamers don't care etc.


The Sega Cups were awesome but the timing wasn't off. The online DRM tied to Japanese arcades throughout the VF5 series sure didn't help on top of never keeping up to date with releases (bad VF3 port, VF4:FT, VF5R etc.). It's nothing new and has been repeated and brought up plenty of times.


not sure why Myke's quote wasn't quoted.... :/

 

Vf still exist.... it called the shoutbox.
