Sega Cup - VF 5 tournament in Socal

Sega Cup: Virtua Fighter Tournament 2013
SEGA Cup 2013 – Virtua Fighter 5 Final Showdown – Meet Justin Wong

Any VF fans planning to attend? Chanchai from the old SydVOC and/or VO dot net forums informed me about this, and he'll be attending.

Super Arcade is a few minutes from my house. At one point they had a 5.2 cab, but it's been a while since I've been there and I doubt they still have it. Anyway, if anyone is going, reply or shoot me a PM and we can meet up.

I went earlier today to check out some of the pool play and meet some VOOT players (Myke, Chanchai, etc.). I'll try to head back there to catch the best of 8 at 8 PM PST unless the schedule is wrong. The stream is here:

Although I don't know much about VF it was still fun to go check out the last few rounds. GentlemanThief had a bunch of good matches until ultimately falling to the tournament favorite Fuudo. It was also cool to finally meet some of the people I've known on various forums over the years.

The tournament seemed to be well run (of course I was not a participant). It appeared to be on schedule and it eventually finished early. The setup seemed good (see pics below). If Sega ever released a real VO sequel maybe we could see a tournament like this.
