    Feedback and Impressions
    Who better to report about the event than those that attended! Participants of the event comment on their experience in the original SEGA Cup Europe event thread. Here are some excerpts taken from those posts:

    "The event was awesome. The location was great, a big room in a museum/art centre about 30 minutes from Victoria bus station. Easy to find, relatively cheap to get there, nice friendly people at the reception/cafe, air conditioning, etc. really impressive." - MAtteoJHDY

    "As a first tourney experience, it was awesome playing VF offline with some seriously skilled players and they had plenty of consoles set up for casual play. Everyone seemed really chilled as well so it was a nice atmosphere. Here's hoping for a Sega Cup 2014." - Hyperion

    "Was great seeing old and new faces, putting voices and faces to guys I had only known by their avatars on VFDC and in game costumes is always great for me." - Seidon

    "There were moments of glory, despair, fear, arrogance, all power ... But mostly fun beyond all my expectations!" - Kaleendah

      I have two things to say about the event:

      1. It was awesome. Really awesome to see familiar faces and get to know new ones too. It was also a joy to play everyone that I played. Hopefully it'll happen again next year.
      2. I am the raffle king.

      My first vf tournie and i had a great time. Thanks to the guys who let me use there fight stick and xbox contoller (i suck with both lol).
      I will definitely attend more events if there are more in london.
      Was really impressed with the community and event and really happy with the diverse character usage all the way to gf. I was supposed to duck out earlier to meet up with some friends i promised to see but ended up staying lol.
      @ash great lion play man!

      a few things:

      1) it was not epic...it was more than that!
      2) what was really nice is the fact that the attendance was bigger than Cannes (almost all the guys from that tournament) hoping that the trend will continue for the future event (Rome? Paris? ;))
      3) the VF community is the best of the best!
      3)Ash Kaiser is a raffle cheater :mad:

      Dat pic is Da Pic!
      I really hope to hear back Sega about this event...

      I'm currently watching the archives. Thank you for taking the time to upload the matches, they are very educational and exciting.

      Although the excitement might have been too much for some of the commentators ;)
