Virtua Fighter 5: Final Showdown heading to EVO 2012

Because a game must be available for at least six months to be eligible for the main competition, the Virua Fighter 5: Final Showdown tournament will be a side event.

As such, Sega will handle all registration and administration, with details still to be confirmed, and is fronting $15,000 total in prizes to be spread across the top 16 players.
