Since Sega is J6, never.

Goh already intercepted him.

Kamaage's ETEG is pretty goo dthough.


I think he's in with a shout.

To be honest I'm sure Sega of Japan has a ton of employees who are fluent in both English and Japanese. So someone from VFDC translating everything would have been most likely unnecessary.

Let's just hope that we get a legitimate response from Sega instead of the usual one or two 'diplomatic' generic lines and then being completely ignored.

Kamaage already posted on his blog that he had met with Sega, but made no mention of the petition he brought. He only talked about live streaming Sega's events and whatnot on his blog. I don't know what became of the console talks but it'd be best to just wait until he posts.

Hi, All.
Let me update what happened today in Sega.

I met one Sega guy who is in quite responsible position.
He was very impressed with the formal proposal. I told him
how much you guys love VF and how much VF5R is wanted in all over the world. He promised me to send it to development team.

BUT the stroy continues. He said "I will pass to development team" and I asked him "Is it possible to give directly to Presidentof Sega?" That way, I thought we can have the maximum output.

I asked him Can I do it? He said "Yes I can pass this to the President" so its possible. but If you guys want, I will try mybest to negotiate and pass it from me to the President of Sega.

But Being Honest document was great but the Sega guy and I agreed on one point. its not quite enough. I do not think President will read the whole document neither japanese or english. What we need is "number of pages".

He said it will be very powerful if we can have 5times more(which is 500pages..) and I think so too.

There are two options.
1: Document is passed to development team. We wait for output.
2: We make 5times more and I will pass it to the president face to face.

I do feel the same with you guys. Making number of pages sounds bit rediculous and it might not be successful at all. Actually we did really good job here and we can stop here.

If you can decide to go on, then I will start to get the formal proposal of japanese version too.

So please dicuss and decide what to do.

mod note: Those linking from the front page news or from other fighting game websites, please post your message to Sega in this petition thread - Kamaage: VF5R for Console Effort. Thanks

I think we should do both. Give the 100 page one to the devs. And make a 500 pages one in the mean time. ^-^

Also Ill try to get more ppl to write.

Thank you Kamaage. Your efforts are very much appreciated. I suppose it couldn't hurt to keep adding comments here in the interim.

Do we have a time frame to get 500 pages? And is it possible for those who already posted comments to add more to extend the length of the document?

500 Pages would be the most effective option, door knock for VF5R appeal or something

Find every single friend or person that has played VF and get them to write a story, given the layout of the document if each person could write a minimum of 200 words then we would be looking solid.

I know I can get about 30 or 40 others to discuss their experiences with the game to some detail, words will trump number here, we had 20-30 people (majority are well known and respected inside the fighting game community) but if we were to step it up a notch and get a few more, get a story placed on Iplaywinner, Joystiq or even Kotaku then we'd be in great shape.

These are just my ideas, but doing some of these would help alot!

Kamaage, thankyou for your efforts so far and I hope we can get you a 500 page document to take to the President of SEGA.

Thanks @ Kamaage.

500 pages is quite a lot. It depends on how much time we would have for that.
I´ve already started proposal-threads at german videogame-websites. I think we could get more contributions from there.

Thanks for the update Kamaage. Who else is involved in this project besides VFDC? Is there anyway you could pass your documents to both? How sure are you that they'll obtain such documents?
