Well, it's late Friday night (11pm to be exact), and I thought it be about time to make an official blog post concerning the new "Media" section that's been up since early this afternoon.

Basically, it's exactly what it sounds like. A section where we place our videos from events and such. This includes matches, as we do record the finals at our tournaments.

Right now, you will find two sections currently up. Matches for "Fight for the Future 2" and "That Summer Tournament 2007". I assure you, more will be added in the future. Before I forget, I'd like to thank ShinAkuma (Shane) for not only recording these matches with his equipment, but also uploading it to youtube. He's been doing it for much longer than I've been a part of… (more)

Jeez, I haven't really been keeping up. This is ridiculous, guy who posts the mosts blogs and he's falling behind. There are a few things that I guess I should cover this week. The big one would be:

Fight for the Future 2: Revived

This tournament went extremely well, all things considered. We set up pretty much like TST III, I'm very grateful to have a good team that runs things along side with me. Also, I'd like to thank Ariel from Machineinterface.com for giving us more prizes and making ours look like crap, just kidding. I'd like to thank everyone who came out, especially the newer players. I appreciate your support to the scene. I hope to see everyone in the next year where we'll have at least… (more)

That's the price that Triumvir is asking for their Shadowloo M-65 Jacket, and that's a pre-order. You have to pay up front, but that's also in USD, which means shipping and stuff will cost me over 200 dollars, FOR A JACKET! But it's for a Shadowloo Jacket. NO! NO! NO! I really really wanted this jacket, but with everything that's going on. I can't/won't be able to get it. Hopefully they'll re-release it and I can get it sometime later in the coming year. PLEASE TRIUMVIR, RE-RELEASE THAT JACKET!

Anyways, I'm one day late with my normal Wednesday update, and almost 2 days late too. I've been busy with other things. School has pretty much made my weeks a living hell hole, especially with Fight for the Future II… (more)

I originally had something else planned to write.  However, I realized that this is something I should probably state before the tournament.

This Saturday, our charity tournament, Fight for the Future will be happening.  This tournament is an important one.  Not just because the proceeds will go to charity.  This event will see the end of quite a few things for our tournament events.

Dreamcasts

Some of the staff have expressed desire to phase out DCs by the end of this tournament.  This of course, doesn't stop any of you from bringing them to play casuals.  I expect Matt to continue issuing money matches in MVC2 and Shane showing us why he prefers Second Impact over 3rd Strike.  But this would mean the end of their use in official tournaments.

Original Super Turbo

It looks… (more)

For screwing a lot of people over with your "new" by-law! If you don't know what I'm talking about, then let me give you the summary.

The new trading in games by-law in Manitoba (and only in Manitoba for the moment) is that you pretty much can't get anything free anymore by just trading in games. That means no free systems with 6 games, no 2 games 1 free game, NONE of that exists anymore in good ol' Manitoba.

So what DO we get?

Well the government pretty much said, "We don't want people getting games and/or systems tax free, that's not good for us". So here is their answer to that (Well at EBGames at least):

- You can only trade in software FOR software, doesn't matter which platform it's for, that's all… (more)

My second column is, interestingly enough, inspired by a quick scroll through the forums. One of the first things that popped up in my mind was that the "Player Rankings" forum is...

Completely blank.

Part of this is because our tournaments have been somewhat few and far between in the past year or so. Dating back to November 2007, we've had 3 Third Strike tournaments, with one soon to come at FFTF II (and we hope to see all of you there), and even less tournaments for the other games. With some highly-anticipated releases in the near future (Street Fighter 4 and Super Turbo: HD Remix), I expect it to be somewhat of a breath of fresh air; everybody gets to start from scratch with SF4 and I look forward to seeing… (more)
