In Japan.
I've been barging in on their online matching events, but really want to play against more non-Japanese monsters too, so let me know if you're up for some matches. Europe, Oceania, Middle East, America.. whatever. Time to dust off that PS3 and PPPK again!
My PSN ID is ct_hihihi and I main Jeffry. Oh, and I also play Fighting Vipers.

Would love to play this since I own the game in psn, but I sold my ps3 last year
I hope that the rumors of FULL BC for the whole PlayStation family in the PS5 is true

Add me to the list of useless people who would love to play the golden age of AM2 games online but whose Dragon's Crown player PS3 is out of circulation.
It does make me think: Capcom's middling Street Fighter Collection was kind of pointless since everyone plays on Fightcade already, but it would be HOT HOT HOT if M2 got hired to make an AM2 Collection with online matches for Virtua Fighter 1-5, Fighting Vipers, and Fighters Megamix. And Daytona since technically it is a fighting game after the car appeared in Megamix, I think.

I think it would be really cool is people would get back on PS3 to play these games. There's no fee to play online either. Just today there was a 6 hour long online session streamed on Youtube. Here are a couple of links:

Awesome video links, LEGENOARYNINLIA.
This makes me wish I had my PS3 hooked up to play. I'd love a Steam version as I think my beaten up laptop could run it... probably?
Having started playing the series at VF4, whenever I watch VF2 and 3 not having quick get up really confuses me. You see a lot more down attacks as a result, but for some reason it feels "cheap". :) Also the damage is nuts.
Would be nice to get a real VF collection with all the games bundled and multiplayer ready. Would be even nicer to get a new game... *sniff*

Now that I think about it, I always heard that at least the xbox 360/one scene of VF5 is alive, sadly seems like no one here has either console

People have spent years thinking they long for an unrealeased sequel like Shenmue 3, but the missing port of Virtua Fighter 3 (Team Battle doesn't count) has a much greater sense of loss, like the sorrowful absence of a missing child or something. I remember how the news of the upcoming Saturn edition vanished, along with the system's prospects.
None of which is getting us closer to fixing our PS3s, but I totally approve of the topic. Virtua Fighter 2 rules.

Like with VF2, the PS3 VF5FS scene is alive and well in Japan. VF5FS had a tournament in Combo Breaker this past weekend, and they just announced a side tournament for Evo too. Getting a PS3 would be a wise move. Playing online is FREE.

Noted! Next time I manage to revive the old hardware, I will send out the Maou Signal.
Nothing against Virtua Fighter 3 Team Battle as such, either---it's just that (at least in Japan), the two-years-late-port-that-should've-saved-the-Saturn-but-was-instead-ruined-by-Genki couldn't even be arsed to have a versus mode when it arrived on Dreamcast, only to be promptly buried by Soul Calibur anyway. Emblematic of Sega's baffling misfire of what was once slated to be their secret weapon.
Actually, both my PS3 problem and VF3's curse would be easily solved if Sega would let those magnificent M2 maestros graduate from their recent Virtua Racing port on Switch to a glorious online Virtua Fighter Collection.

If anyone cares, an XBOX ONE last week and I also purchased VF 5 FS if someone wants to play
Only know I realized how fucking great is the xbox if you are a old school sega fan, Panzer Dragoon Orta, Monster World Collection, Daytona, Guardian Heroes, Virtual On Oratorio Tangrem, etc

Nice matches! And great to know VF3tb is still alive, it's a great game.
Interesting that this is one of few non-KoF games with a team elimination mode as default (the only others I can remember are Dragoon Might - sorta - and Toshinden 4). Considering KoF's success, I wonder why there haven't been more games following its style.
But I'm digressing. Sorry. Anyway, thanks for sharing these videos!!
Maybe I'm this person right in front of you... nah probably not though.

Neat! Just curious, but are there any stages that are banned for tournament play? I don't know much of anything about VF3 but I always wondered if some of the slopes and hazards were considered too much. Then again, if you're playing 3tb I guess you're going to be all in.

No stages are banned. In Mikado tournaments the stage is drawn randomly by the TOs and announced before the players sit down. In some stages like the dojo and the dohyo, characters like Kage-Maru are especially dangerous because of their ring out combo abilities. But if you're used to how common ring outs are in VF2, it's no big deal. Two stages (Sarah's and Jacky's) were actually made larger from 3 to 3tb, so that Wolf can't throw opponents out with a giant swing right from the get go.
