The 2024 Pre Beat-Tribe Cup: a 5on5 team tournament with emphasis on teams made up a single character--was held in Tokyo, Japan, at the end of September. The archive of the entire event is available on YouTube. The first post in this thread have been updated with timestamps for all tournament matches, including a bunch of interesting stats from fastest/longest match on stream, to 3 (or more) win streaks achieved on stream!

What if Akira spoke in English? How would he sound like? Will he sound weird or acceptable in English? So I decided to have some fun and give it a go by recording his voice. I shared it on social media and fans loved it! I continued the concept by working on the other characters that did not speak 'English'. I got other voice actors involved and this is the end result of the production. Please enjoy!

Storm Collectibles' Jacky Bryant action figure was first announced to be in development in March 2022. Now after 2 years, VF Official has posted an update for the figure with "Coming Soon". We can likely expect a pre order for this item sooner than later. This is the 3rd figure in Storm Collectibles' VF5US/VFeS series. The 2nd figure, Wolf, is now expected to be released in the 2nd Quarter of 2024.

While Virtua Fighter 5 Ultimate Showdown (aka Virtua Fighter eSports in Japan) will not be at Evo Japan, Tetsuko Yamada hosted a VF Party with a focus on the international VF community!

Players representing Europe, North America, Oceania, and other parts of Asia was in attendance. Archive of additional information of the event within the thread.
