VF5R SBO 2009

Joseph's team advances to finals? (twitter+ babelfish)

\o/ JOSEPH!

 

YOU (SA) / Chuutaro (JN) / Anaguma (JA)
vs
Yuutenji (LA) / Gorgeous (EI) / Joseph (AK)
in final apparently

 

Yuutenzi ([rau]) the vs. [chi] [yu] - it is the [ro] (John), with 3-0 3 shields of Yuutenzi's. 'Victory of [sutadasutokuruseidasu] decides [bachiyahuaita] 5 R'!

 

yuutenji (rau) vs chuutaro (jan) : 3 - 0. virtua fighter 5R; stardust crusaders = champions

 

Most of those names are pretty much house hold in 5.

 

I love how every person on each team uses a different character. VF just rules that way.

Great to see that 6 different characters will fight for the final.

 

I want to see YOU's SBO SA footage.

I wonder what will happen with the game after SBO now

 

I would love to go to one of these SBO tourneys and watch the festivities. I wish we can get a 3 man American team in there just for the hell of it...Somehow i feel we'll be treated like that 3 man "Sports" team in KOF98 lol!!!

 

Actually it went for all three games yesterday.

SFIV 7 of the top 8 were unique (2 vipers), including 3/4 of the new characters represented.
T6BR 11 of the top 12 were unique (2 Bryans) and both of the new characters represented.

Glorious age to be playing fighters.

 

Isn't it an SBO rule to not have more than 1 of the same character in a team?

I'm probably wrong..

 

Does anyone have an organized list/chart that shows who fought who etc up to the finals?

 

Kamaage (Akira) / Akape (Goh) / Zettoman (Lei-Fei)


what a beast of a team!.. but they are not even top 4? Weird

 

jide - ah alright, didn't know vf5 vids too well.

 

You are right, and it goes for all games, so VF is not special in this regard.

 

I agree completely! It took over a decade and many iterations to get these games as balanced as they are. Practice makes perfect . When you have that many people playing your game, it's nearly impossible to stop someone from eventually something they can exploit.

Can anyone link us some vids of the of the tournament??? I'd like to see any of these games played at pro level.

 

Video cameras are banned at the event (even photography inside) with warning that cameras will have their data reset if caught. And there was no stream this year (it was a SBO07 once-off).

Word is that the tournaments won't be on separate DVDs this year, but included with the monthly arcadias, and VF5 is first off the bat on next month's DVD. [This is according to someone at Shoryuken forums who says they were there and saw it in the SBO handout.]

 

This is good news, I was confused at the rumour of no DVDs.

 

Where can I get arcadia in the US? Preferably without getting reamed.

 

anyone know what the guilty gear results are?

 

Top 4:

Kazuki (DI) / Kawin (PO) / Inoue (OS) vs. Satou (JO) / Chonari (ZA) / Mugen (BR)
