This is it then, the big one, and in conjunction with the game dropping in price a month before this event, we could be seeing levels of penetration and recruitment for the series not seen since the '90s.
Good luck to everyone that's going - play hard and play with bushido! I shall enjoy the ensuing videos from afar :thumbs-up:

EvenPit is already counting his $3,000 dollars .

1) Really glad this is up on the front page! I am not crazy about waiting until the last day of registration to have something posted on the VFDC front page. WE WANT AS MANY PEOPLE GOING TO THIS AS POSSIBLE!

2) It looks like we already have a large pool of players confirming their attendance! Here is the link to the facebook event page!

Yeah I registered a while ago.

Online play > all. It's how the game is meant to be played.

Done.

Signed up. you guys can just give up now.

wow 10th to 16th place nets you a good chunk of change! great idea, I don't think I will be able to attend but if I did I would feel way better about it having a far more significant chance to break even! I imagine this is very encouraging for the talented players who may have wrote the tourney off knowing top 3 is slightly out of their reach and have trouble financially justifying a trip.

Jesus look at that pot if came 16 i would have money for a hit box damn.

Wish I could go, but I'll enjoy the stream.

Damn, Sega is really taking this seriously aren't they? Two tournaments with large payouts for top 16 in less than a year? If this becomes a regular thing it could really grow the VF scene outside of Japan. But as much as it kills me to say this, there's just no way I'm going to be able to make this one. It's going to be a bad time for me in general, and it doesn't help that I'm a little low on funds at the moment. Still, good luck to all that are going, and I'll definitely be there if they do this again next year... or if I win the lottery some time between now and when the tournament starts.

Thats it.... i gotta go... its time to make my debut in the tournament scene and see how far my skills take me.

also another question..........is pad allowed? it doesnt say anything in evo rules.

I would believe so

What's this about two tournaments with large payouts in less than a year? You talking about last year's evo? VF isn't going to be at evo far as I've heard this year.

Evo was July right, SEGA cup in April? My maths could be off that does seem to be two big tournaments SEGA have hosted in less than a year.

I count years at in , "in 2013 there has been one Sega tournament in USA".
