Sorry for the double post but i wanted to clear up something for the upcoming SRW 30th anniversary stream
A massive list of copyrights was posted for it online, and i can't read Japanese, so i ran some of it through google translate and Sega is listed twice, dont get your hopes up though because i dont think they involve Sakura Wars since Red isnt there at all. lol
I'm pretty sure they involve other Sega related stuff that's been in SRW because they credit the Virtua-On character designer and i know that this series has been in a past mainline title, where one mech was piloted by Hatsune Miku.
So it's now deconfirmed The voice actor situation is definitely for an "OG" character voice.

I really don't think we'd get a Spirit event for a series that doesn't even have a game on the Switch but I do appreciate the effort.

Book is out, import it from Melonbooks or BEEP Shop if you haven't.
Also interesting trivia, Tails creator, Judy Toyota did the artwork for the Cover:

Only tangentially related, but fellow Sega series Virtua Fighter is doing a survey, whether you played Ultimate Showdown or not.
In the last question I told them to add Sakura Wars characters like Kanna Kirishima as DLC.

Got the Sakura Wars Fanbook.
There's a neat Sumire artwork by Personasama on here.
Developers who worked on AoF, DoA, Street Fighter 3rd strike, burning fest, idolmaster, etc gave messages but I can't read them.
Ah wait its just a several pages to honor karate girls like Kanna in other games

Eh, I've been over that forum game for awhile. People there tend to not be very open minded.

Yeah, not a fan either
People on that thread don't seen to understand how statistics works.
10 percent is an insanely high chance considering all the viable characters, and there's people giving 50% to many characters which would only make sense if half of them became playable.

I kind of burned out on RTC, but you do make a funny point. Technically, at this point, the total chances for every character you think has a non-zero chance of being added to the game should add up to 100%, as there's only one slot left...
I think most are aware RTC is a gamified version of Smash speculation and not a serious statistician discussion, but that's still a funny point to think about logically.
"I give Sakura a 0.24% chance, which is actually pretty high all things considered!"

Lmao there's already like tons of misinformation already there and I highly doubt anyone would listen if we tried clearing it up so I’m already burned out looking but oh well
Anyways I’m thinking of importing that book it looks pretty good and it’s a reasonable price too so I might get it honestly

Considering that someone said that "her fans bug me" I agree.
(And uh... how do we bug them? We basically stay here in this thread and don't bring her up in other places.)

I think it's from past Sakura days, where there have been some large overrates. Some people also take the numbers game there quite seriously and don't like it when things swing weirdly far up/down due to fan presence.

Yeah I was legitimately confused about that cause like from my experience Sakura fans just stay in one place and kinda do their own thing
This gif basically embodies Sakura fans
Guess that explains it I was never really around for that type of stuff lmfao
Also in other news...

Um. Well. I can safely say I did not see that one coming. Does PUBG have any direct Sega connections? Is it published or localized by them in Japan or something?

Oh hey this is more my speed compared to the RTC thread, it’s basically an expanded version of the “Want” section from there.
I might write something later on it, I’ll look at the responses in the meantime though.
Edit: Oh wait it’s over, still was nice to read it though

You know I just thought…
When Sonic’s anniversary came I think it was in like May or June, they started pushing his franchise a lot and they’d frequently have collaborations and other promotions for his anniversary, game announcements too.
Then Monkey Ball’s anniversary came in June, once that came they started REALLY pushing that series hard and have really shilled Banana Mania in wake of the anniversary.
So I wonder, now that we’re in the month of September, which is Sakura Wars’ anniversary, could that be next on the agenda? I can only wonder…

And with this Sakura has been in a billion trillion crossovers, which is really cool.

Just reposting this hereAlso a reminder that the anniversary is on Monday and they're having a panel for it at TGS so this would be five days apart from that, something to keep in mind is all.

Haven't been on this thread for a long while.
Still hoping SEGA does some localization of the Saturn titles. At least with various subtitles if they can't afford an english dub.
