Come on MadeMan, so why all that hype, these views, these likes...

Only because it seemed a lot VF related, and all this thread itself says it too.

a LOT of people thought about VF with that SEGA teaser, that was not pure hazard.

Yeah... I mean you can't even compare the budget to the first two games. Tons of limited resources and I got the feeling that Yu's studio is just... Not experienced.

He really can't use that studio to do a VF game... Not with those animations.

Just because a bunch of people on VF site no less, saw what they wanted to see and got hype, doesn’t mean that it was meant by SEGA to hype up VF. It’s pure speculation on your part at best. It’s more likely and probably to be just a coincidence.

At this point, I think that those who are desperate for VF6 are going to see anything VF related on almost any SEGA announcement. The vaguer the announcement from SEGA the stronger the speculation on VF related news will be.

Not only on VFDC at all.

But everywhere in the world and on the internet (YouTube, forums, video games websites, social medias...) tought it was maybe VF related.

Akira stance + 6 a coincidence, yeah right...

Song "That's Life" (Gordon Kelly L / Thompson Dean K):

That's life
That's what all the people say
You're riding high in April, shot down in May
But I know I'm gonna change that tune
When I'm back on top, back on top in June
I said that's life
And as funny as it may seem
Some people get their kicks
Stomping on a dream
But I don't let it, let it get me down
Cause this fine old world, it keeps spinning' around
....
​

Regards.

PS: there is an effing in VF4 SPoD...

You’ve been clearly craving any type of news that is somehow related to VF6. Of course I’m not surprised that a silhouette of a stance that VAGUELY looks like Akira and the #6 was enough to convince you and get you speculating.
Yes SEGA must have an entire team of marketing folks just assembled to troll VF fans. That must be it! Sheesh.

lol teasing the "SEGA 60th Anniversary" with Akira stance + 6, instead of Sonic...

Of course i am stupid and i will not think about Virtua Fighter at all.

I wasn't arguing on whether you or other people saw "clues" and thought VF6. My argument is on whether SEGA purposefully referenced VF to troll VF fans. On which case, I don't think it was purposeful and most probably a coincidence because there's not enough evidence to convince me that it was otherwise.

Silhouette is too skinny to be Akira, there were more evidence that it had to do with Segata Sanshiro. And the #6 is more probable to be inline with the 60th anniversary. 60 day countdown for a website I think may be too long for marketing purposes.

I won't deny that the fan in me saw it as VF related ( tho a few hours after that I kinda was semi convinced it's nothing VF yet I kept hoping).

I don't think they purposefully trolled us, but I think there is some VF-ness in the whole thing. I don't think SEGA is so stupid not to think people will associate the judo stance and the number 6 with VF6 after all... They have one fighting game with a leading character that wears similar robes and does a similar stance and the next release should 6th.

I am kinda glad it ended up this way vs VR -VF based game.where you train with Segata's son ( I actually thought it would.be this given the shadow characteristics LOL).

Wish SEGA more success.

Here is the closest trailer to vf 6 lol. https://youtu.be/Cj9M9D7VrXQ

At least they tried.

We will inform you that "SEGA Co., Ltd." will be born on April 1, 2020.

Actually a serious "we need a proper VF5FS port" petition/Kickstarter will most likely result in us getting that IMO. It will be easy to showcase interest.

The only catch is, you won't even get the people.in this thread to sign.

Only trashy petitions ( like Shaggy for MK11) get signed. So I'd rather not show that to SEGA.

Players from all fg communities thought that was vf related. Sega is relentless.

According to Kotaku this means Sega games and Sega Interactive are merging to just be Sega. Hopefully this leads to them to making more games in the future, they have been very quiet lately.

Merging might be a good move for sega, and it'll be cheaper for them too.
And yeah, I hope this means more games too.

That's entirely possible.

They have a big library that they can certainly use.

I think they updated their new site... Nothing new... But I think they mention VF is being part of their arcade franchises and they say they will provide immersive experiences for variable customers
