EVO Japan Roll Call

Just met SHU at Akihabara Sega. Also played some games against YOU and managed to win 1 game lol. Got there right before closing so I didnt have time to play much but there were about 20 players there.

Since I was just here I found this pretty interesting being a big fan of VR.

A new VR area is opening at Club Sega in Akihabara on May 31. Called Sega VR Area (clever!), it will be located on the sixth floor of that legendary arcade.

 

wth no VF in the official EVO Japan line-up (ARMS though)

it wouldv'e been easy to fill a 500 man bracket. FAIL!

 

I'll keep playing. Sadly, I won't be going to evo japan though.

 

Hell yeah!! VF 4 LIFE!!!

 

Oh damn, I was just thinking of this thread this week. One of my closest friends is moving to Japan to get married and live there this Fall, and I was into the idea of visiting him and maybe playing VF with some fellow VFDC guys. Shame there won't be any representation at evo Japan. I'll still be hitting up arcades when I visit though.

Oh also I guess I don't need to say anything but we still got an NYG coming up in this year, even with all the difficulties we had in NY scene, along with Flash and Shang's NMTC which was a complete success. So VF still ain't dead, even in 2017.

 

lol Arms at EVO Japan ? Is that serious ?

 

Arms seems like the kind of thing that goes over really well in Japan. Simple enough concepts with the possibility of depth (maybe? I only ever saw it in videos), and it has a zany kind of attitude. It might be a choice to show that Evo Japan has a different attitude than Evo US, although it might just result in Evo US having Arms next year lol.

 

Fuck...why no FS though!? Dammit Japaaaaan!!
