In a Video Games Chronicles interview, Justin Scarpone, recently hired by SEGA to be Executive Vice President Head of Global Transmedia Group, responded to a SEGA Legacy IP question.

I recently asked Zonchan for some help with Lei Fei combos versus Taka, and he kindly sent me all of his personal combos against the entire cast! Thank you, Zonchan, this is much more than I expected and is greatly appreciated! If you don't know who Zonchan is then you might have seen some of his amazing tournament performances in the past like winning the 2019 Beat Tribe Cup or when he defeated an entire team (OCV!) in the 2020 Pre Beat-Tribe Cup during the finals stage!

Last Updated: October 8, 2024 - Translation of the tactical guide series written by pro Virtua Fighter player Shiwa is now completed! Thanks to VolcanoShed, Tenguman, and Setsuna for tanslating these guides into English. For your convenience, links to the original guides written by Shiwa and the translations on VFDC are posted within this thread.

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!
