On Sat there will be a VFers gathering at Barney’s house. With around 13 players attending it. I expect it to be a great gathering I thought of some new Eileen stuff which I can try on Danny tomorrow HEHE! Also, just an update on the Germany project. We managed to gather around 1400 Singapore dollars. Only 2/3 left to go. Since Danny will be “released” from Army today. We will try to come up with more ideas on how to go about gathering more funds.
Bueno, esta tarde he salido a dar una vuelta y de paso llegarme por una tienda GAME y me he pillado el Virtua Fighter 5 (por 13€ de segunda mano que me parece un precio aceptable), el clásico juego de lucha de SEGA que si no lo conocéis podéis echar un vistazo a este artículo de Tatoon en Segarcadia sobre esta pionera saga de la lucha 3D, que como ya he comentado no soy muy de los juegos de lucha y menos de los 3D, pero el tiempo que tuve la 360 de Deny tuve el juego y me piqué con el, y como s

If anyone havent found out yet, WCG isnt paying for VF players trip to Germany… Singapore’s only professional organization Team Titans is sending me to Germany with support from Intel. I am hoping Danny could participate in Germany this year too. The only possible way, I can think of is by getting the community to help him in the expenses to Germany. The total cost is around 4k+. Right now he is in reservist mode, so I am helping him with the post. Please help spread the word. If you wish to
Virtua Fighter is a 1993 fighting game developed for the Sega Model 1 arcade platform by AM2, a development group within Sega, headed by Yu Suzuki. It was the first game in the Virtua Fighter series, and the first 3D-based fighting game (4D Sports Boxing was released few years earlier, but belongs to slightly different genre). It has been ported to several home video game consoles including the Sega Saturn and Sega 32X. A port with enhanced graphics was also released for Microsoft Windows.
Overview
The Virtua label indicates that the onscreen action takes place in 3D. The Saturn technology and the NV1 architecture relied on quadratic surfaces rather than the polygons used in modern 3D graphics. The images were created using wireframes and flat-shaded quads. Beyond 3D, it retained the staple of multiple characters, each with their own distinctive moves.
Unlike other fighting games of the time (such as Street Fighter II or Mortal Kombat), the game relied on a control stick and only three buttons, Punch, Kick, and Guard although different situations and button combinations led to a vast variety of moves for each character.
The game is highly regarded for its in-depth fighting engine and real world fighting techniques, and was considered revolutionary when it first came out.

An Arab fighter named Siba was planned, and his character model even appeared on some Virtua Fighter arcade cabinets (though, in some cases, Akira's name was placed under his portrait). He was ultimately dropped, but later appeared in the Sega Saturn Fighters MegaMix game.
Virtua Fighter Remix
Virtua Fighter Remix was an update of the original Virtua Fighter with higher-polygon models (when compared to the Sega Saturn port; the original Sega Model 1 game has higher-polygon models than Remix) , texture mapping and some gameplay changes. It was given free to all registered Saturn owners in the US via mail. It also had an arcade release on the ST-V (an arcade platform based on the less powerful Sega Saturn) and later ported to Microsoft Windows as Virtua Fighter PC.
