    Hi guys, I'd like to introduce LAG: HOMESTAY | FINAL SHOWDOWN @ REDONDO BEACH

    It was so inspiring getting slaughtered by Homestay during Evo 2018, that I invited him to come play and hang with us. He will come with his wife and they both will do a little sightseeing, but he is looking forward to playing Final Showdown with us.

    It would be nice to have a sister event to NYG here on the west coast, where we invite Japanese players, get to know them a bit, and level up our game. (We used to do this with early NYGs during the VF4 era.)

      Sign up sheet done, thank you Rodney.
      Are we expecting to have HSA around for the entire two days event or just certain period of time?

      I will be showing Homestay and his wife around until Thursday evening. Depending on how tired he is, he may be interested in getting some games that Thursday evening / night. However, he will be around for Friday, Saturday and even some of Sunday to play with everyone. He's really looking forward to seeing everyone and making new friends.

      Thanks for the sheet @Rodnutz. I want as many people to feel Homestay's wrath. We'll have plenty of astroglide or gun oil (whichever lube you prefer) to ease the sessions.

      PLEASE NOTE: While playing people, Homestay will take some mental notes so that he can give you feedback after your Ft5 - if you are interested in learning. Basically we're asking him what he "sees / notices" when playing each of us. This will likely help you level up your game, so jot down some notes, SUCKAS.

      Hi DV! It'll be nice to see you again. As one of the guys noted above, there will be casuals in peeps' hotel rooms, so please ask around here to confirm who & when. The conference room will be available to us Friday morning, and everything should be all set up by 12pm.

      Everyone flying to LAG to avoid missing your flight because of the gov't shutdown please head to the airport extra early just in case. Airports all over the country are seeing the longest lines due to TSA worker shortage. Not only that but the bad weather will make it worse. This at Atlanta which is the biggest airport hub in the US:



      Uploaded January 14, 2019

      Holly Lyle, a 23-year-old traveling to San Francisco for work on Monday, told The Daily Beast how she arrived to the airport almost three hours before her flight, expecting delays.

      Several hours later, Lyle finally got through security. And she missed her flight.

      “I arrived at 7:05 a.m., and was directed to several different lines,” she recounted. “I didn’t get through security until about 10:25 a.m., and I missed my flight that was at 9:40.”

      I just checked with Montage and he said he's cool with hosting casuals in our room today. I probably won't be checking in until closer to 5 PM or so. Send me a message on here for room info and my phone number, or better yet message me on Discord: KilgoreTheFish #0001. I respond very quickly to Discord.

      Water will be shut down in the LAG hotel from 11 AM to 3 PM tomorrow (Friday)! Plan accordingly!

      Also, I recommend using the So Cal Virtua Fighter Discord server at least temporarily this weekend to coordinate with each other and keep track of important announcements: https://discord.gg/j7v6sfk

      Casual VF5FS play is underway in the auditorium room Nautilus for anyone at LAG now.


      I just showed KigloreTheFish this question, and his quick answer is "it's possible." He'll be back to explain more about this.

      Adam Yuki and Homestay were delayed a bit today, so we'll probably have to move a Homestay Dojo session to tomorrow. I'm planning on doing it after the VF 5 singles tournament ends, since we don't have anything planned after that.
