Street Fighter Finals!

Last day of the tournament is upon us, and things are getting intense.

The schedule I posted yesterday is no longer up to date. The best way to keep up with the event right now is to follow brackets and keep an eye on the stream.

@ULTRADAVID  "It Looks like the planned schedule is 3S top 16 first, then ST top 4, #SFxT top 8, #AE2012 top 8 to close"

Everything's running smoothly, and people are ready to get started. There are a lot of custom arcade pad's being carried around, and just as many players prepared to use them. It's looking to be a high energy event, everyone is super nice and super excited. I didn't realize how much money is on the line. Literally tens of thousands of dollars will be awarded at this tournament alone.

Sett-up is looking good.

Venue is filling up...

 

Fantastic games, some extreme nail-biters and comebacks. I've got a lot of respect for these guy's skill.  

****UPDATE**** Hey everyone, things are going well, albeit a bit behind. Bracketing issues pushed things back a bit but otherwise everything is running smoothly. Casual play is taking effect, and everyone is having a good time. Arcade Pads GALORE. (1:00)

Street Fighter 25th Anniversary Tournament!

Its been awhile since out last blog update, but we've come back with a big one.

I can't tell you how excited I am for the event we have planned this weekend. It's the Global Tournament for Street Fighter's 25th Anniversary. As an avid arcade goer,  I hope to watch most of the matches and see a few familiar faces. Unfortunately, tournament registration is now closed, but there should be plenty of casual play and practice rounds going on.You'll be given the opportunity to watch professional gamers from all around the world compete for a spot in the super tournament later this year in California. There's $500,000 worth of prizes on the line, and an ultimate chance to win a Street Fighter themed Scion FR-S Sports Coupe.

It's going to be a ton of fun, and I hope to see you all there.
