    Hello people,

    I'll be back after a prolonged absence due to not having internet at home.

    I was wondering if somebody, especially those living in Japan, could give us a bit of an update regarding the arcade scene for VFR5. If I'm not mistaken the game didn't make it to SBO 2008 so I wonder if Sega held or some arcades held any tournaments.

    I see Ogikage uploaded a video of what seems to be the Bay Area cup, with Homestay single handedly beating the other team (which included Gorgeous)

    Beat Tribe (another final):

    Anyways, Homestay seems back in the game, super-Kages Jin and Koedo are still there. Any other big names? I see that Akira seems to be a lot stronger than in VF5 (as per the last posts in Akai's topic).

    VF5R was a game in SBO2008 - I think the team that won consist of Itabashi, Fuudo, and Joe.

    Akira players overall success in tournaments have not changed that greatly between VF5 and VF5R (at least comparing to R version A).

    i noticed they seemed to have reworked a lot of akira's animations. Looks a lot better IMO. Glad to see it.
