Friday at LAG isn't just casuals before the bracket. It's a full day built for getting better. Panels, replay review, hands-on time with top players. So, what do you want to work on? Take 2 minutes and tell us! 🙏 forms.gle/M1xMALLDg4xXxKXU9
Before we lock the schedule, we want your input. General tactics, a specific character, or a matchup you're stuck on. It shapes who teaches what, and when.

Since this scene was a mix of 2D and 3D animation, it was extremely complex and challenging to make work. I had to make sure all the action timing was prepared in advance. Many people worked incredibly hard to make this possible

Yes — that YOHEI.
A core Virtua Fighter fan who has even competed in VF tournaments!
I’m sure it wasn’t easy for him not being able to tell everyone around him.
Thank you, Yohei!
There’s still a lot of work ahead of us, but let’s keep pushing forward together!
