819: Virtua Fighter 4: Evolution PS2 \\ Arcade daydreaming in Quest mode'll get you KOed, Jacky!
0Playing Jacky Bryant in Quest mode of Virtua Fighter 4: Evolution on PS2, at Standard difficulty:
0:00 - start
1:25 - Sega World East

43:17 - wrap-up & what's next!
Well if this is like the time I went slumming back through the earlier Quest arcades and then had trouble acclimating back to the harder ones, it may be a few+ episodes of me flailing around before I'm able to settle back into Quest's very particular forced groove; Quest allows the tiniest of wiggle room to one with my tiny skill level, depending on workable moves you're able to find, with any deviation from it getting me immediately dunked on. This is, in my brief recent experience, different somewhat than Arcade mode, where you're given a bit more wiggle room in terms of viable attacks, but also face a possibly slightly more adaptive defense.
So I don't know, maybe I'll buckle back down eventually. Maybe I'll have to keep popping over to Arcade mode until I wear out my welcome there. ; )
I tried looking up the Japanese VF player immortalized in Quest as the Champion Wolf "Segirl," and didn't find much solid info, although there is a Japanese Segirl player who placed 65th or something as Astaroth in Soul Calibur 6 at EVO 2020 Japan--not sure it's the same Segirl; I suppose Astaroth is a big-body 3D fighting game character, rather Wolf-like in those broad regards! There's a brief shot of both players, both dudes, at the end, not sure which is Segirl there, but based on body language and maybe sides, likely the second, coming in from the left: https://youtu.be/ZYprbbfITw0?t=792 . The VF Segirl player is definitely referred to as male by people in this 2002 thread who were viewing a now-vanished RealPlayer video of a Japanese tournament; and apparently their name is pronounced like "segall," and sometimes anglicized as "Segaru" or "Se-girl": https://virtuafighter.com/threads/the-natioanl-tournament-in-japan.2558/
(By the way, I found the "Segaru" thing in a summarized translation https://virtuafighter.com/threads/den-faminico-gamers-tetsujins-roundtable.21705/ of a 2021 interview with three of six the "Tetsujin" ("ironmen"--the name came from the "Iron Chef" show) of the classic VF days in Japan: Bunbunmaru, Ikebukuro Sarah, and Kyasao; these guys would go around to arcades playing "kumite" bouts of 100 matches vs all comers.
The original article in Japanese has lots more photos of the three from the interview session, and photos from some of the crazy hype at marketing appearances and tournaments in Japan back in the day, that are really fun to see: https://news.denfaminicogamer.jp/interview/210731b ; this was full-on e-sports, in mid-90s Japan! (Also, you can see there what was translated as "Segirl" is the three katakana for "se," "ga," and "ru.") Here is a Google translate of the full--long!--interview: https://news-denfaminicogamer-jp.translate.goog/interview/210731b?_x_tr_sl=ja&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en&_x_tr_pto=wapp )
