      I'll be darned. Wild shit. Maybe I'll dust off ol' brad and get him ready for next summer.

      At first, I thought, "do I even care anymore?". Then I sobered up a little, and discovered that this is one of the few things I DO care about.

      Nice work, sega.

      I'd actually like it a lot if the game gets into Evo that it becomes a Team Tournament.

      I wouldn't mind if the tournament standard for VF in the states was in Team format.

      3v3s are more hype, too, imo.

      I would think that watching a plethora of vids and breaking it down while keeping skills in tact should at least help pose some sort of threat. Sure, moves and properties/frames change, in conjunction with getting new moves (or losing some altogether), but staying with the fundamentals should keep you at least grounded somewhat and avoid a major slaughter (things like that at least work in b-ball [think of basic teams vs and-1 street ballers; they get crushed by simple basic ass teams sometimes because of fundamentals].

      Oh yeah, America's out of that BB shadow. EVO this year showed that. I think MB is the same, but I'm not too sure...

      I am pretty ecstatic about the new version finally coming out. I thought it would've been way longer than this though in all honesty. Let's hope Sega can continue to build that hype and actually get a "hype man" of some sorts. Now I've got 2 games to stay sharp on: KOFXIII and VF5FS. The true revival of solid fighters is here. I'm definitely shooting for the best Jeffry (and maybe Lau/Aoi) in VF, and most definitely the best Billy/Joe/Hwa in XIII.

      Cats should start streaming VF5 on twitch.tv or justin.tv to build hype, too.
