When designing characters for Virtua Fighter, Seiichi Ishii was told by Yu Suzuki to create fighters influenced by the Dragon Ball series. The obvious two were Jacky Bryant and Lau Chan.
Jacky was based on Goku's Super Saiyan form while Lau Chan was based on Tao Pai Pai.
One of the greatest things I like about the Action Star Job is that Ichiban and crew can perform various moves seen in the Virtua Fighter series. Gotta love
@RGGStudio
for this!
Here's a quick demonstration:
Sonic Frontiers Character Bio
#1
Sonic the Hedgehog
The world’s fastest supersonic hedgehog. Sonic’s adventure begins on the Starfall Islands in pursuit of the Chaos Emeralds and his lost friends. He is also guided by a strange voice along the way. (1/2)
#SonicFrontiers
Character Bio
#2
Sage
A mysterious girl that appears across the Starfall Islands. Throughout the story, she cautions Sonic to leave the Starfall Islands despite his mission to find and save his friends. (2/2)
What
@Tracker_TD
said is true. If you collect every ring in any bonus stages you accessed from the star post, you'll unlock all of the Metal NiGHTS accessories.
@NaotoOhshima
-san and Takashi Iizuka-san, thank you for adding iconic SEGA references in Sonic Superstars! 🙇♂️❤
After playing Sonic Superstars at TGS, we got this cool Sonic Superstars Start Book Manga which serves as both a prequel to the game and provides tips for first time players!

I do miss my daily dose of

SEGA announced Virtua Fighter 3tb Online for arcades in Japan! Its a rerelease with updated features used in VF esports and will be release on November 28th.
Going to Japan in September for 2 weeks & plan to interview former
#SEGA
designers, Yumiko Miyabe (Space Channel 5) & Akihito Hiroyoshi (Virtua Cop) about how their careers started in the game industry with SEGA and current hobbies.
If you have any questions, shoot me a message!
Props to Ibaraki and Mizunuma for drawing Akira and Jacky as Beavis and Butthead back in 1999 in a Japanese Dreamcast Magazine issue.

I see that Virtua Fighter is trending. Let me share something interesting with you guys. Back in 1994, SEGA collaborated with NHK/Film Australia's Escape from Jupiter by including a scene featuring VF characters combined with live-action footage to create a realistic setting.
@aokyseizy
showcased Katsuya Terada's Virtua Fighter 1 & 2 artwork on the latest Japan Fighting Game Publishers Roundtable stream. There are a few that I've seen on Beep Mega Drive magazines and some never seen before.
Thank you for sharing Aoki-san. 🔥
The SEGA Saturn Magazine has a lot of cool interviews covering SEGA games such as Sakura Wars. Here's an illustration of NiGHTS and Claris by Kosuke Fujishima and Hidenori Matsubara who both worked on the character designs for the Sakura Wars series - SSM, Nov 1996.
This is very interesting news regarding
@RGGStudio
Model 3 emulation. That one programmer deserves a lot of praise and hope we can get an SEGA Arcade Collection greenlit soon from fan requests.
Virtua Fighter producer Seiji Aoki & APM3 general producer Toshiaki Yuasa talk Virtua Fighter 3tb Online 🇯🇵
here's a summary not a lot of insight into the broader future for VF, but there's some stuff for Model 3 fanatics to chew on
Happy
#NiGHTS25th
Anniversary! For me, NiGHTS into Dreams was one of Sonic Team's greatest titles released for the SEGA Saturn with arcade like flying and platforming elements.
Here's an interesting video of Sonic Team's producer Takashi Iizuka explaining the concept of NiGHTS.
Feel the heat! Kazuma Kiryu from

In addition to the

premiere. My friends and I were given a brief tour of the Sonic Pillar Head Office and got a picture with the blue hero himself. Thank you

I agree with Emi. Other games developed by Sonic Team are fun to play and deserves another chance for the new generation of gamers to try out.
*PS: I got addicted to playing Burning Rangers a lot recently.
It genuinely shocks me that many Sonic fans have not tried games like Samba De Amigo or PSO. Its telling you guys. If you like Sonic, you will like these other games. They have the same spice 🙏🏻
In order to become the heir of the Yuki Budokan, one must train enough to be the ultimate Virtua Fighter! Shouts out to
@SEGA
for sending me the

package the other day! Happy to help out the VF community
Everyone! Continue playing Virtua Fighter! もっと強いやつと戦いたい!
Like the planet & stars, the more you encounter the beauty of SEGA's games, the more you will come to like and know SEGA. The essence of SEGA love isn't whether you have played its games, it's having interest in SEGA. The gate is open to all who do. That's what SEGA is all about.
Ikude, Kiryu-chan! The Mad Dog of the Shimano, Goro Majima, slashes his way to

Please RT!
@SEGAForever
should be supported for it's game preservation for people who are interested in the history of game development & bring back classic IPs to modern audiences.
I appreciate the social channels for showing never before seen concepts and artwork.
It's 2023 and I think its about time for another Sonic & SEGA Superstars/All-Stars game.
What genre and characters would you like to see in the next installment?

@RubyEclipse
, wore this awesome Vyse costume for Halloween.
I hope you don't mind me sharing this from the blog. Wanted to appreciate you for all the hard work you've done for SEGA and the Sonic community so far. Keep it going!
These 4 SEGA franchises are getting anniversaries, sequels, and reboots this year + more! Even if SEGA's 60th Anniversary is over, there are still more to come.
It was nice seeing
@NaotoOhshima
and Takashi Iizuka again. Very thankful of them developing Sonic Superstars for old and new fans alike.
Hope you enjoyed the gift
@NoNeckKota
gave you two! ❤
Virtua Fighter 3tb Online is getting an OST release on December 14th with the original music, arranged tracks from VF5US, and vocal tracks from Takenobu Mitsuyoshi himself!
Christmas came early! 👊
Weekly Famitsu book featuring Sonic Superstars arrived today at my door step and features creator comments and concepts of some zones. I'll provide a few scans and notes later today after work.
2 more days until

The last Shinobi game we ever received was Shinobi for 3DS starring Joe Musashi's ancestor Jiro Musashi. I remember how fun & challenging it was as it had high replay value where you can unlock new weapons/characters, Street Pass challenges as Joe, & many SEGA easter eggs. (1/2)

I've noticed playing Virtua Fighter 3tb is that Aoi would have her kimono sleeves up above her arms in outdoor stages and down to her wrist inside interior stages.
AM2 really went all in on VF3's development when it comes to detail.
