In their continuing promotion of Virtua Fighter 5: Final Showdown, Sega America is set to host a pre-launch party for the game at the iam8bit Gallery in Los Angeles on May 19th, featuring a couple of huge names in the Virtua Fighter community. Fuudo and Chibita will be on hand to showcase the game in a series of exhibition matches, as well as take on challengers in the upcoming release.
While not everyone will be able to challenge the Virtua Fighter masters, there will be plenty of stations available to participate in some casual matches with other attendees. The event is 21+ and invite only, so hurry over to the iam8bit website to request your invitation. With Fuudo and Chibita on hand to show off the game’s new features and Alex Valle as host, this is sure to be a fantastic event, so don’t waste any time.

Virtua Fighter 5 Final Showdown Contest – Name Your Opponent!
The fine folks over at Sega recently sent us some information on a cool new contest they’re working on for their loyal Virtua Fighter fans. All you have to do is come up with a name for one of the random enemies that appear in Virtua Fighter 5 Final Showdown’s single-player mode and their tagline before battle, as well as the preferred character you would like them to go up against.
This is a fun way to get your name or the name of someone you know in the game if it’s chosen by the developers as one of their favorites. The official blog post has all the rules and regulations you need to know to enter, but be quick, because the deadline is next Tuesday, January 31st.
