This thread has been created in support of a member of VFDC who has been one of the most helpful and giving to the VF community since the release of Virtua Fighter 5: Final Showdown, Chibiaya.

As far as Virtua Fighter is concerned, Chibiaya is a very formidable player skilled with Jacky, Wolf, and a variety of other characters. His contributions to the VF community have been numerous. He has contributed valuable information as a Jacky Forum Content Manager on VFDC, as well as created valuable and impressive media focused on VF5:FS; including the very informative podcast series featuring players like Kamaage, video tutorials geared toward newer players learning VF fundamental tech, as well as hosting hype matches between VFDC vets, as seen by many players.
