That'd take 20 people to drop $100 each. Gamers are too broke...

VF players tend to be less broke.

i wish this were like a kickstarter and viewers could see how much each game is being donated up to the deadline. i would do my part to get FS at EVO even donating $1k if i knew it would get us over the top. i know one of the main DOA guys is planning on dropping $500.

hmmm didnt see the list above....9th place

ok this is getting serious. vf players who want to really get this game on the big screen at evo please donate. im ready to throw a couple racks to get in it. im just a fledgling player who wants to see this franchise in the best light possible. if everyone can get us in the ballpark ill do my best to get us over the top. can someone give me details like whats the last day to donate?

I've been sniping people on ebay auctions since a while after it was invented (1997). On the last day, as long as the Smash community (or other games) doesn't try to counter-snipe then i'll put my bid in if I know we will win. If it doesn't look like we have a chance by then then I'll donate a few dollars for the cause. Right now theoretically my initial donation would put us at/around 1st place.

Updated current standings:
Super Smash Bros. Melee $1,764.32
Dead or Alive 5 $1,202.69
Skull Girls $1,121.22
Guilty Gear XX $937.90
Dive Kick $422.90
Soul Calibur 5 $387.41
BlazBlue $225.00
Virtua Fighter 5 $201.00
Super Smash Bros. Brawl $160.00
Super Street Fighter II Turbo $145.00
PlayStation Sony All-Stars $126.00
Dark Stalkers 3 $115.00
Injustice $68.95
Street Fighter III: Third Strike $65.00
Capcom vs SNK 2 $60.00
Melty Blood $40.00

I donated $60 earlier this week; that's more than a fourth of the total. I may drop another $40 and make it an even hundred. I know not everybody's got the scratch to spare, but if you do, I recommend dropping a healthy amount. We are here, there's no reason not to donate to a good cause, and we can get VF back in the lineup where it belongs. Believe!

The amount of salt that would ensue seeing VF at top at the very last minute would be astronomical, lol. Remember, the only bad publicity is no publicity.

Also, I just found out, publisher donations are not accepted toward the total. This comes from the Twitter of Tom Cannon himself.

FYI, we are not accepting publisher contributions to the Evo 8th game drive. It's a community vote, so the fans decide.

since MLP is no longer in the running a lot of the fan who voted for MLP are now voting for Skullgirls cuz the studio said they would like to see Skullgirls win

Yeah saw that lol. Cool story, the dude who won last year's tourney places 10th or 11th at ECO '09 in SFIV. Did it with a broken hand no less, haha. People were mad he won lsay years SG tourney 'cuz he wasn't known and doesn't care about e-sports.

BBCP is out yet? becuase i know it's just in the janapese arcades...

Hrmm,

I'll keep an eye on this. If a last minute snipe wins this, Cobratron will have forever drinks from me.

Irregardless, should have been main game at Evo.

If we donate and VF doesn't make it, do we get our money back?

As much as I think VF should have been one of the 7 games after its great showing last year, and EVO's supposed interest in rewarding communities is a let down, in this drive its not looking good.

However, its sister title DOA has a real shot.

So I put my money to DOA and hope others do too. DOA curing breast cancer, too good.

(And its a great game featuring Akira, Sarah and Pai)
