What's Tonchan's nickname on PSN? Does he play online?

Actually, I'd like to see a map of Evo nicknames to PSN nicknames, because sometimes people use different nicknames.

Tonchan shares a PSN account with Koedo. It should be something like Koe-Ton (??) on PSN...

Yogo past PSN account used was TaikyoBeya1 or TaikyoBeya2 ...different players use those account...for example Kumichou (Wolf player that commentates, and Nidaime Furaibo, a Jacky player). When he participated in the online challenge cup qualifiers I think he might have made an account just to participate...its been a while.

Virgo (Barugo) PSN is Jeanogre.

The rest of the top 8 PSN ID is similar enough to their arcade/regular nickname iirc.

What a great tournament. Glad I stayed home to give these other players a chance to shine

Thanks, Akai.

Tha_FeauchA · Apr 3, 2023

Forgot to add. Felt bad for that one Jean player Densetsu SP. I thought he had a great chance of taking it by how well he was playing up until his loss in top 8. He had that input failure and dropped the wall combo to finish the set against that Lei Fei player. Lost that round and game, then ended up losing the next game to get eliminated.

Seeing that Akira player 'Sizzle' doing the things he was doing was wild to be doing it that far into the tournament, lol.

Also, seeing that Lei Fei that did that 9K+G(?) like seven times in a row, even if it was blocked to take the round was great, too, lol.

All kinds of moments. Really made me want to learn and play some VF.

Awesome tournament, so much skills and spectacular moments. It was a delight to watch from beginning to end. As a Pai player i was very suprised to see how predictable was her 23 p+k at elite level, i think none has counter hit in the top 8 xD.

A big thank you goes to Ryan Hart, who commented on the matches superbly, providing technical and precise informations while adopting an enthusiastic tone (great chemistry with Chen).

On Twitch, the chat was very friendly and positive, and I loved reading the jokes about the "advanced" age of Virtua Fighter 5 such as "VF is at age to license drive" haha xD. The only downside was that during the stream, the game's sound was really low, which was a shame for the hype.

Of course, I felt an immense disappointment at the end of the tournament due to the non-announcement of Virtua Fighter 6 (there were many comments about it in the chat).

Max, who continues to support the game, made a video on the top 8 highlights (already nearly 100k views!):

Pad and Hitbox were totally legal at Evo Japan.

The news that came out was Capcom Pro Tour announcing their new rules related to SOCD. I think the community uses the news to make statements… but I think the actual nature of the announcement is a heads up and people are missing the context.

The context is simple, Street Fighter 6 is a new game and the input buffer and command interpreter is modern. SOCD was a solution for games that were not coded for All Button Controllers. SF6 is coded for pads, arcade stick, and all button controllers. So the Capcom Pro Tour adjusts its rules for this newer reality.

That said… At Evo Japan, there were Japanese VF players who played with pad and fewer with all button controllers, but it is quite rare. The thing is, if you want to play the latest VF in arcades, it’ll be on Final Showdown arcade which is going to be using Sanwa JLF. So everyone is still using that and it’s still fantastic.

VF Esports would be played in arcade except that the arcade machine lags and so Final Showdown is the arcade standard.

I suspect that the next Virtua Fighter or Sega Fighter will be played on a variety of devices, including pad. It should be designed for all popular control schemes. But damn VF still is built for and plays like a dream on lever and buttons.
