    I keep seeing "Gonta" (★ ゴン太 ★) in the top 4 spots in the Sega VF tournaments. What is interesting, is that this person gets first place numerous times, but using different characters. I started seeing the name in version C.

    I was told before that many of the players share their cards or have multiple cards...so anyone know anything about this Gonta person?

    There is a team of five players belonging to the team ★ゴン太王国★, with all similar names. The leader is ★ ゴン太 ★ but there is also ★ ゴン太さん ★,★ ゴン太くん ★, ☆ ゴン太 ☆, and ★ king ★. Aside from king, who is apparently a female player, the rest of the team is pretty strong. They are all listed as living in one city with the same age and same gender, so they are probably different people living in different areas of Japan.

    This is ★ ゴン太 ★ 's character listing:

    Main Card
    Taka-Arashi(7th Dan)

    Sub-cards
    Akira(10th Kyu)
    Pai(4th Dan)
    Lau(Master Rank)
    Wolf(強者 Rank) - New Rank in 5R... translates to "strong person"
    Jeffry(King Rank)
    Kage(6th Dan)
    Sarah(4th Dan)
    Jacky(傾奇者) - New Rank in 5R I think? I dunno how to read it though.
    Shun(Bujin Rank)
    Lion(Bujin Rank)
    Aoi(Bujin Rank)
    Lei-Fei(8th Kyu)
    Vanessa(3rd Dan)
    Goh(5th Kyu)
    Brad(2nd Dan)
    Eileen(5th Dan)
    El Blaze(Strong Person)
    Jean(10th Kyu)

    So yeah... he uses everyone, and he's really good with a lot of characters. Basically anyone over 10th Dan is an above average player.

    Thanks! I also saw gonta-kun and gonta-sama (or san?) name tags in the tournament results. I got very curious of this person after seeing this person's name consistently on top and check his tournament record...

    Its neat to see how he participated in 10 or so tournaments in version C, never finishing the top 4 with Kage. Gradually with time I saw him winning tournaments with Lau. Finally, I keep seeing his name consistently with a lot of different characters!

    Wow, can you just pull up someone's card listings if you have their name Reno? If so, that's damn cool.

    KrsJin: Yeah if you are connected to VF.net you can search for players via name, and you can also search for teams too.

    akai: Gonta is also a pretty common name, if you leave out the stars from the nickname, there are actually three players named Gonta, so it's not surprising that there are multiple Gonta players out there. There are probably a ton more when you consider that not all of them register on VF.net. Also, sometimes you'll see famous players changing their names all the time because people like to impersonate them or something. I know Fuudo doesn't really do this, but some players in the Kansai area like Fuumin change their ring names a lot.

    You could have teams setup on the VF network? Cool, I didn't know that.
