      This is excellent news!

      This will be an Arcade/Network release? Does this mean no physical copy of the game? I know I shouldn't complain.

      SEGA is notoriously stubborn, but does anyone think they will look at the popularity of SSFIV and AE and rethink their decision to allow spectator or tournament mode? This would make VF5FS a killer fighting game app to me.

      Uwahhh, look at all the new/returning faces! Definitely going to be interesting when its released. Of course I can't wait to buy it (Ghost Aoi here I come!!!!!). Now time to practice on vanilla VF5 twice as hard until my hands fall off.

      There are a few details that worry me about this announcement but I'm too happy to care right now.

      I don't know, I don't see spectator modes as being that big of a deal. Mainly they just seem to add lag.

      Just type VF5 into youtube, you'll find higher level play from JP players than you'd ever be able to find via spectator mode. But there are loads of people from all skill levels who have uploaded VF5 matches neway.

      Hmmm. I think I actually may by this on my ps3. I don't like the 360s pad nor do I like paying to play online. My 360 does need some love doe. I played like one game (Crysis2) on it this year and the only other game I plan on buying is Gears 3 and Mass 3 (only to carry on my save data). Been playing MK9 but it got boring fats. That's y I love VF, so much debt that u stay learning and growing your character. Can't wait to play with Wolf and Brad to break out all the combos and new moves I have been drooling over for like ever. Back to watching VF5FS vids again!

      Well, looks like I'm back again! Can't believe its finally happening! Gonna have to dust off my vanilla copy again!

      It does sadden me a little that there won't be a disc, but I'm just happy its coming. Hopefully they change their minds in the next year!
