Obviously, some of these are tongue-in-cheek, so Zerochan please use your better judgement. No offence is intended in any way!

1. In every VF game up to and including VF4, the character's default stance was Southpaw (right foot forward). It was finally changed to an Orthodox stance (left foot forward) in VF5. Considering Orthodox stance is most commonly used, was there any particular reason why the series started out and stuck with Southpaw for so long, then finally switched? Is Yu Suzuki left-handed by any chance?
2. Who is your main character?
3. In a first to 10 battle between you and Sexy Saitama, who would win?
4. Have you considered ever doing a cross title with another fighting game franchise? If so, which ones?
5. Why haven't we seen more customisation tie-ins with other SEGA IP, such as the Shen Mue or Yakuza series?
6. If you were stranded on a desert island and could only have 3 things with you, what would they be?
7. If you, Harada and Ono were stranded on a desert island, who would you feed to the sharks first?

1. There are a lot of organized events and support by Sega for the Virtua Fighter scene in Japan; however, this is lacking outside of Japan. I understand this is mostly because VF is made first to be an arcade game. Compared to the past, are there any plans to provide some type of support/event for people outside of Japan in the future?

2. For future releases of Virtua Fighter, are there any intentions to have everyone in the world have access to the same version of the game at the same time (besides traveling to Japan of course)?

Sorry for any duplicates, didn't look through any posts.

I also have alot of potential questions that you might like to see, so I grouped them in different categories.

--------

1. How do you design characters, from an inspirational, as well as a game development standpoint? Is a character first created, followed with an appropriated fighting style, or are fighting styles chosen first, with characters created around them? Do you visit/have Master-level martial artists visit and demonstrate, or even motion capture? Do they oversee or advise on various styles throughout development?

2. Is it true that Yu Suzuki was inspired to create Virtua Fighter(and Shenmue?) through the manga Kenji by Matsuda Ryuchi? (link: http://www.mangafox.com/manga/kenji/ ) They are very similar, as well as great respective pieces of art! Also, how does Yu Suzuki's legacy affect AM2/Virtua Fighter development team today?

3. How many members are on the various VF development teams? What about for each department(art,graphics programming, AI, game engine programming)? I imagine ALOT! What kind of development strategy do you take to develop so much fresh and varied content over the dozens of arcade updates and releases. Also, how do you continue to develop so much content for, what pretty much is a single VF release (I'm sure it's taxing/tiring!) Where do you stop and say, 'we should save this for Virtua Fighter 6!' What about balance? I imagine alot of development resources are used to focus strictly on maintaining the Virtua Fighter series much appreciated balance. How does AM2 go about ensuring that each released is simultaneously as fun and balanced as possible?

4. What is the state of popularity in VF in Japan? What kind of demographic (in Japan) do you think plays VF? Are you satisfied with the current success of VF5:FS, or is the arcade scene very difficult to gain new players? What do you think of the current arcade market(which is heavily rumored to be declining within the Japanese market), and how does it affect the Virtua Fighter series? If there is arcade market decline, and it gets worse in the future, will there be more focus on console development?

5. How do you feel about Virtua Fighter players/fans from outside of Japan? Would you like it if Virtua Fighter more well known/received internationally (like Street Fighter and Tekken), or are you/AM2 primarily focused on Japanese players? Is there consideration of international audiences during development? How was the 2010 VF:R/Final Showdown petition viewed amongst yourself and the development team? How do Japanese view international VF players, and are they particularly interested in seeing more international players play VF?

6. What inspired YOU to become on the Virtua Fighter development team? What do you personally like Virtua Fighter, and what inspires you to be on the team today? What is your history in game development world, and how did you get to your position in AM2/VF team today? What are the responsibilities of your position?

7. How is the legacy of Virtua Fighter games viewed within Japan? What about the legacy of great VF players in the past and present?

8. Can you describe the tournament scene for Virtua Fighter(in Japan/Asia?) Who do you think are notable players, and what makes them notable? What do you think of international tournamens, such as Evo? Do you watch the streams of these international tournaments? Several companies, such as Namco, Capcom, Arc System Works, SNK/Atlus, Warner Bros., etc, have taken great strides to have their games featured, advertised, and played in tournaments in Japan and (most notably) worldwide -- should we expect SEGA to make similar tactics to expand the worldwide audience for Virtua Fighter?

9. Not a question: most of all, thank you and thank AM2, for keeping the Virtua Fighter series strong and with great gameplay

More questions :

Do you have any notable stories from a developer's point of view?

Do you have any notable stories of the Virtua Fighter characters that you'd like to share?

Can you put out some 2D Virtua Fighter concept art???

Guys, please refrain from asking console specific questions. D.K's influence is on the arcade only.
