You're a braver soul than I. I tried maining Wolf day one, but I just couldn't cut it.
GGs to everyone. There were some really close matches, and I feel like I learned a lot about some characters that I don't see that often.

I would recommend watching some match videos to learn how to do wolf combos. Until you can scare them to guard you won't throw them for biggg damage.
I know how to do them, just something about online that keeps messing them up for me. Can't even get 46 attacks to come out online. All those long distance mid punch whiffs were me frustrated and trying to do tackle. And sometimes in the heat of the moment I just forget how to do them especially after 9 PK. I forget to do 46PK, and doesn't help my poor execution.

My Japanese has gone to shit over the last couple of years, but I saw this article over at Famitsu (copy and paste the URL)
http://www.famitsu.com/news/201209/01020542.html
From what I can make out, VF seemed to inspire the first gen Playstation, but I am not too sure. If anyone else with better Japanese skill can just give a cliff notes I would appreciate it.

Could someone teach me the magical art of throw breaking please? Thanks. 
Hooray at finally beating players 4 or 5 ranks above me, though. Need to play this more.

To break throw you need to press p+g and depending on the move also Forward or Back. There is also neutral.
For example, Wolf's Burning Hammer is 360 motion that ends in forward. So to break it you need to press forward plus p+g. Whatever the last direction of an opponent's throw is, that is also what you need to press.
When guarding you can press g then hold P as well to guard and be ready for a throw break. You will need to hold in the direction in throw you would be expect as you can't waggle the stick and hope to cover it all.
Some moves also can't be teched like Wolf's Shining Wizard and some El Blaze stuff too., you would just have to duck those.

Had my brother take a quick read through it and here is a summary
I guess it also helps to say that the opening line of the article translates to
""Virtua Fighter" was what saved the First Generation Playstation?"
So that is some nice trivia.

Always remember to hold at least P when you guard, look for patterns in your opponents throws and adjust accordingly.

Wow....much props for the heads up on this dude! I love watching VF tourneys in Japan. Good lookin'
Akuma can you do me a favor if it's not too much trouble?
Can you please bump this thread and give us the heads up whenever there's a VF tourney streaming live from Japan? I'm loving this tourney to bits, but God only knows how many of them I've missed already

It looks like an all Pai event is going on in Japan right now
http://www.ustream.tv/channel/newton-live
According to VF.com, this is the 5th annual Pai Off. I did not know this was a thing.

I know there was a Vanessa off in the last year- I think most chars get their own tourney in Japan.

if i'm around, sure i will post.
i think the best thing to do though is follow @vftv_live, @vf_relationship, and @vf_official on twitter since they tweet whenever something is going on.
also here is the schedule for the vf-r season http://www.beat-tribe.jp/images/calendar.jpg
nothing until next month as far as big tournies go.
but if you missed any tournies, many links to previously recorded streams can be found here http://virtuafighter.com/threads/virtua-fighter-relationship-2011-2012-season.15440/
Me neither, been playing too much sleeping dogs.

Good luck finding anyone. Game has become a fucking ghost town online. Tried several times at all different times of the day and couldn't find ONE room to get in.
First Daytona USA, now this. What is it about Sega's arcade games and low online participation? This is just beyond sad

in this case 2 things happened:
1. the game expired on PSN plus - everyone that had the game on that front is gone now.
2. Tekken and Persona came out - all the people who were riding the new fighter train left once P4u dropped and everyone that needed that 3d fix til tekken came out left too.
That happens man :/

VF for life for me. I'll be around tonight but not sure about the time.

SEGA would do much better if they:What is it about Sega's arcade games and low online participation? This is just beyond sad
-Toned down on that patented SEGA "charm"
cheesiness
-Put effort into story and additional modes because the bulk of fighting game players (many of whom eventually become legit players) really care about that stuff.
-Did a full court press on marketing.
-Most importantly, made a port on a well supported system that was true to the arcade version while also not being horribly outdated in comparison to other console fighters and against it's own arcade versions.
Just releasing an amazing fighting game isn't enough to pull in the kind of numbers you need to have a large community long-term.

i played with friends these past days. getting scrubbed out by random shun and lion online wasn't so fun anyway

Also about 95% of the players just stick to ranked. I play to play, so I go where people are.
Usually warrior-class and above opponents aren't spammers.
If you guys see me online, feel free to ask for player matches- I'm much happier playing this than I am TTT2.

Shun is so derp with drinks. half life combos off of the same move repeated three times.
You have any low crushing moves? Maybe use that 8P+K more? Also I suspect Blaze has a move to punish Shun if you get distance and he starts to drink , Kinda like Jeff running P+K.
(rocket discharge dropkick or splash perhaps?)

Yeah, Blaze has 8P+K as a crush move but didn't use it as much as I should have and I had a bad controller. I used 9P+K K to punish stuff down outside my range, assuming they're not ducking. It leads to pretty big damage actually.
I haven't played that much recently though so beating the Lion player we have was amazing as is.
