It was truly wonderful to meet everyone who came to LAG, and we had an amazing time together.
I've also posted lots of photos in the official Discord LAG channel.
If you have any photos, please share them! 🫶
Let's soak in the memories of LAG.

This was wonderful coverage of our #VirtuaFighter Gathering: #LAG2025 by @D_C_Theo 🙏🏼
It was a real pleasure to meet Theo and I am so happy someone documented their journey the way he does here!
There are tournaments here, but Gatherings are much deeper events, filled with ❤️
This was an incredible event and i cant wait to go back next year. Big ups to @Chanchai_VF @adamYUKI @dropkickevents @DRB3000 @RushdownTurtle and everyone else that was able to make this amazing event happen. #PlayVirtuaFighter

Big news:
@VF_SEGA has offered to create a custom in-game title exclusively for #lag2025LAG LAG attendees! 🎖️
We're working closely with them to make this a reality — while there may be some platform or distribution limitations, we expect to provide this to all attendees. Huge shout-out to @RushdownTurtle for this iconic design!
(But just in case: please understand final availability is at SEGA’s discretion.)
Either way, it’s a huge honor 🙏

Online lag, monitor lag, jet lag...but most likely the best type of LAG is the the L.A. Gathering! A VF offline event "born out of passion, community, & cross-cultural connection," there will be a random select, 3vs3 team, and a singles tournament. #VF5REVO Details in reply.
