    In September 2014, a Japanese VF2 Tournament - Virtua Grand Prix V - was held online on the PS3. Footage from this tournament is available on YouTube and is worth checking out if you have around 45 minutes to kill. For some this may be a trip down memory lane, and others it might shed some new light on how this old game was once played. Either way, when compared to the version we all play today, it shows just how far we've come!

      I actually think VF2 is underrated.

      truth. Even on its release for the xbox I was hard pressed to find anyone in NA to play against. My connection to the Japanese wasn't bad, surprisingly and I had many exciting games with Y Kudo and others but even that dried up fast when their own scene re-ignited.

      Some good play in that video. Weird to see very bad (in recovery terms) moves being abused successfully though. I guess lag.

      yeah, it's the whole reason I can't be arsed to drag out the xbox - what is the point. The only game I'd play would be VF2 (VF3 were it available) but there is no scene at all.

      also, so nice to see Tempter4 (lau) go down hard. wotta douche.

      We've talked about doing VFLIve on VF2 a couple times if any of you ever want me to try and organize an event.

      the only thing stopping me is paying $40 - 60 for xbl JUST to play 1 game

      I feel like I should buy this game on PSN and run a $1 tournament at the next Toronto meetup. Most of the players here are new to VF and have no experience with VF2, might be a lot of fun (especially the first time someone jumps).

      If you did, and if there was sufficient interest I would try and get myself and Kbcat out there to teach the specifics of the game. It would be tough but possible.

      ^Well I won't be here for the next Northern Battles, but after that I might be able to.

      Alternatively

      Any interest from you guys in running VF2? Not sure if either of you have on your consoles already.

      I'd play. Akira is my secondary so I wouldn't have any trouble in the character department, and It'll be interesting to see how the old vf games were like. Have fun finding a character @cmase1989

      Damn that was really exciting. The Akira who won was really really good, but there was some tough competition there.

      First fight of Part 4 brought back memories of my Shun getting beat up by Akira players every week. :p

      Are we still talking about VF2? VF2 Wolf is nothing like FS Blaze. :)
