You look at the online ranking ladders in Virtua Fighter 5 Ultimate Showdown and majority of the top ranking players are from Japan. For those of us who do not follow the Japan VF scene, those names might lack any meaning to you. On twitter, Hima Jean started a series to introduce the people behind those names.

The good news, we have lots of organized VF events. The bad news - I can't keep up with all of them! Events with results and/or videos that occurred during July 21 - July 25, 2021 are listed in chronological order.

Thanks to everyone who previously contributed to Virtua Fighter 5 Ultimate Showdown Feedback thread. Much of that feedback has already been passed onto the development team, and obviously some things have already been implemented or fixed. Now, we have another opportunity to collate some feedback to the team so please review the current list and add what you think is missing! Also, SEGA have put out a survey inviting all player to submit additional feedback. There are some very specific questions about the netcode and your online experiences with lag, so be sure to tell them what you really think!

In this final episode on Harada's Bar series with VF5US/VFes producer Seiji Aoki, Aoki-san shares his thoughts on how practicing Martial Arts gives one a different outlook on life, reveals a couple of his (many) interesting hobbies, seeing ghosts and, as teased in the opening, his favourite kusoge!

In this episode of Harada's Bar, Harada continues his interview with VF5US/VFes producer Seiji Aoki where they talk about SEGA's marketing, how VF fans had given up hope like "people who have grown afraid of love", Aoki-san's commitment to developing the community within eSports, admission that the game wasn't 100% ready upon release and, oh, you know, a little thing like a Team Battle feature in an upcoming update! Also, did he just drop a cheeky hint at VF6 with the takoyaki!?

In a previous episode of Harada's Bar "Come, Virtua! I've waited 11 years!" Tekken director and producer Harada shared his thoughts on the Virtua Fighter 5 Ultimate Showdown (VF esports) announcement trailer ahead of its release, as well as his career-long history and rivalry with the Virtua Fighter series. In this episode, Harada interviews VF5US/VFes producer Seiji Aoki to discuss their impressions of the initial release, how it compared with expectations, the responsibilities of taking on such an important IP, and ... what's with the "800" on Aoki-san's shirt?
