Virtua Fighter 5 Final Showdown
Today at AOU2010, SEGA unveiled the latest update to the VF5 series titled Virtua Fighter 5 Final Showdown. A movie demo has been made available for download at SEGA's official VF5 website, and here's a YouTube link for good measure.

The movie shown gives a taste of new costumes, items, and more importantly, changes to gameplay. We can only speculate at what these gameplay changes are given the brief glimpse the video affords.

To discuss this news further, check out the Virtua Fighter 5 Final Showdown thread!

What about the VF5R for Console Petition?
As many of you would know, VFDC in collaboration with kamaage of vfdojo.net are conducting a petition to get the latest version of VF5 ported to consoles (see Petition announcement). Yesterday that version happened to be VF5R, but today it is VF5FS.

Let's not lose sight of our original goal, which was to send SEGA a message -- a message to say that we, outside of Japan, want the opportunity to play the latest version of Virtua Fighter. The petition is the vehicle by which we will deliver that message. If you haven't already posted in the petition thread, then perhaps VF5 Final Showdown can be that extra motivation you need?

The petition will close Tuesday, 23 February 2010.​
