The ST Games at EVO 2013!

By kuroppi | February 11, 2013 | Posted in: ,

Super Street Fighter II Turbo, now in its 19th year of competition, returns to the tournament circuit for 2013! And it’s all thanks to YOU and tournament organizers around the globe who are taking part in the dream of seeing ST returned to the grandest stage!
 
Last year, The TOURNAMENT OF LEGENDS created unprecedented success and attention for the venerable arcade fighter that birthed competitive fighting games. World Warriors from around the globe attended major after major, culminating in a Saturday night, EVO-stage showdown between two of Japan’s top Grand Masters, watched by over 28,000 viewers on the main EVO stream.
 
Riding this new wave of popularity, for the 2013 season, the ST Revival Committee brings you: “THE ST GAMES“. An Olympic-style competition to be played out at majors across the country and ultimately at EVO 2013 in July at the Paris in Las Vegas, NV!
 
THE ST GAMES at EVO will be comprised of four tournaments:
 
Event #1: RATIO TOURNAMENT: Spend your points carefully to create the perfect team from the entire ST cast.
 
Event #2: 3 VS 3 TEAM TOURNAMENT: The quintessential, classic ST team event!
 
Event #3: CHARACTER LOCK TOURNAMENT: Choose your one true World Warrior, through thick and thin, in good times and in bad, in 9-1 matchups and 2-8’s!
 
Event #4: THE GRAND FINALE: Win 3/5 matches to advance, double elimination, no holds barred (although Akuma is)!
 
And prior to EVO, players will be able to earn “ST Games” points at the following tournaments:
 

So Cal Regionals January 19th Irvine, CA
Winter Brawl February 23rd – 24th Philadelphia, PA
Texas Showdown April 12th – 14th Houston, TX
Civil War April 19th – 21st Richmond, VA
East Coast Throwdown May 18th – 19th Morristown, NJ
Northwest Majors TBA Seattle, WA
Super Arcade TBA Walnut, CA

 
The player with the overall highest score becomes THE EVO 2013 ST GAMES CHAMPION!

The Rise of Competitive Gaming & E-Sports

By kuroppi | February 3, 2013 | Posted in: ,

 
Featuring Damien “Damdai” Dailidenas, winner of the 25th Anniversary Street Fighter II Tournament (starting @ 4:03)
 
As games have increased in sophistication, they have become a stage for ever higher displays of human skill and brilliance. The result is a tier of the gaming world filled with startling disciplined, talented, and highly competitive players. Born out of arcade tournaments and LAN parties, the world of competitive gaming is now entering a mature phase, featuring major global events attended by thousands and watched by millions online. With valuable sponsorship and prize money of increasing value, competitive gaming is claiming a space similar to that of traditional sports. This new industry is still in its early stages, developing broadcasting models and negotiating the culture of its widening audience. But whether it’s fighting games or MOBAs, the players and spectators are passionate, and individuals and leagues are working hard to elevate e-sports into the highest echelons of human achievement.
 

Help Save Super Arcade!

By kuroppi | February 2, 2013 | Posted in: ,


Super Arcade, the home of Wednesday Night Fights, The Runback, and the foundation of the SoCal Super Turbo scene is going through some rough financial times right now. The transistion period between the previous owner has taken affect and has set back the arcade.
 
Luckily, there’s still hope for this bastion of Southern California competition. A donation drive was recently set up through WePay that asks patrons of the facility and members of the wider fighting game community to help Watson gain some ground against the mounting expenses. The donation drive ends on the 14th at 12PM and those who donate will be entered into a number of special drawings for various Mad Catz items that will be broadcast live on Thursday or Friday after the fundraiser ends.
 
The new owner, and long time supporter of the SoCal ST scene,  Mike Watson had this to say:
 
“During this entire ruckis I have learned many things, and although I am new to the arcade ownership side of things, I have always been a people person and dealt with my customers very well over the years. When times are tough people show their true colors. I personally ran a charity tournament for someone I genuinely cared about and it felt awesome. Now I am running one for myself and the community and have mixed emotions. The goal here is to provide a future for game lovers and the FGC here in Southern California and hopefully this will make it happen. After all prizes are given out I want to have a couple “customer appreciation days” where I can turn everything on free play and give back to the community once again that have stood by me and supported me during my rough time. I promise Super Arcade will rise again and better than ever once all this is complete. I have a deep passion for fighting games and a great love for the community involved. Thank you all once again for the support and hope you get something out of Super Arcade, whether it be countless hours of hanging out with friends here, competition from our tournaments, or even being at home and stream monstering it up with levelup and iebattlegrounds. As long as someone is enjoying and benefiting from my hard work and that of my crew, that is enough to make my long hours and rough nights till 4am all worth while.”
 
Stay strong FGC and lets push for an even stronger future.”
 
Alex Valle, who organizes Wednesday Night Fights and The Runback at Super Arcade had this to say:
 
 “Super Arcade, the home of Weds Night Fights and The Runback, is going through some rough times right now. The transition period from the previous owner has taken effect this year which has unfortunately set back the arcade. Mike Watson and I are working around the clock to make sure the SoCal community and fans around the world have a place we can all level up from. If you’d like to support, please visit https://www.wepay.com/donations/save-super-arcade. Thanks goes to everybody for their continued support and we’ll have updates as they come in.”

ST takes the lead for the 8th game at EVO!! – Today is the last day to donate!

By kuroppi | January 31, 2013 | Posted in: ,


EVO 8th game donation drive update!
 
Super Turbo was lingering down around 5th place for pretty much the entire time since the donation drive started.  Suddenly, in the past few days, and more specifically on Wednesday, it appears a mysterious benefactor or benefactors have dropped a number of huge donations for ST.  Early in the day, ST sat at approximately $10k.  As Wednesday ended on the West Coast, the mysterious benefactor propelled ST into first place!  Update at 8:45AM PST – SSMB: Melee has about a $1300 lead over ST ($36,834.00 to $35,500.53).  All three games, ST, SSBM: Melee and Skullgilrs are expected to snipe in donations late tonight.
 
Papasi has put out a CALL TO ARMS last night to help the mysterious and generous benefactor’s efforts not go to waste:
 
“THERE IS NO GOING BACK. WE ARE ALREADY AT 33,623.41
 
*** I AM PLEADING FOR EVERYONE WHO CAN HELP, DONATE AS LITTLE AS $5 TO HELP US OUT, SPREAD THE WORDS ON TWITTER & FACEBOOK ***
 
THIS IS HOW WE STARTED IT ALL
 
STREET FIGHTER II
 
LETS GO”
 
A reminder that the donation drive closes TODAY (Thursday January 31st) at 11:59PM PST) so this is the LAST DAY to donate to support ST and for a great cause!
