This episode of Excellent Adventures came be simply summed up with one phrase, “OT GP FTW”. And if you have know idea of what I’m talking about, just watch.

Looks like Super Street Fighter IV: Arcade Edition has some sort of mobile phone application. Regular Street FIghter IV for arcades has a similar feature which let you “find out who was playing at which arcades, see win/loss rates, and keep track of the ‘zenny’ you earned to buy new outfits and colors”. This is what was said about it on Versus City about it …

“The mobile site will also get more significant upgrades by introducing battle challenges, where users will be tasked to perform specific tasks in battle against either the CPU or another player. One example of a battle challenge is to taunt against the CPU more than twice in a fight, while another simple one has you tasked with throwing another human opponent. These tasks will earn you zenny that you can use to purchase the alternate costumes and their respective colors. If you thought the DLC was expensive, wait till you see how much your average player spends just getting enough zenny for one costume!”

I would love to say this sounds pretty cool but honestly it seems a bit gimicky and if this feature makes its way overseas it’d never be used.

So there is this top secret invitation only Super Street Fighter IV Tournament that is supposed to have some of the top players on the West Coast. Check out the detail below.

What
Battle for the West Coast crown is exactly as it implies, a battle for the King of the West Coast. This will pit the most consistent placers from the West Coast against one another in a random draw, non seeded tournament in which all matches will be a first to five race. The players will all have to sign up with their characters prior to the event and show that they are indeed the better overall player.

Where
At my secret refuge, hereby referred to as the comboratory somewhere in Silverlake, CA. ****If you happen to know where this is and were not invited to this event by me personally, do not show up. You will not be allowed admittance under any circumstances****

When
This Saturday (October 9th) at 2:30pm

Why
Recently, a lot of the top players and myself have realized that running a first to five is the most entertaining of all match types. It’s fast enough so you don’t get bored, yet long enough so that the better player will adapt and win. Taking this concept a step further, having this be the tournament format, I think would create the most fun yet challenging atmosphere for the best person to emerge from.

and most importantly,

Who

Ryan “FilipinoChamp” Ramirez – This guy has been dominating all Norcal tournaments whenever Ricky’s not around. He has also defended Norcal against invaders from other areas and is definitely a contender for the crown.

Vance “Vangief” Wu – A cyborg personified. If his performance at evo didn’t put him at the top of the list for contender for the crown I don’t know what would! He has showed that Zangief can overcome bad matches by being played to his fullest so look forward to the fear he strikes into everyone.

Peter “COMBO FIEND” Rosas – I just added myself in cause they needed an eighth person. I’m pretty much here to turn waste and land some semi-cool combos.

Shane “Shizza” Cummings – Another top 8 player at evo. The other pad player garnering respect through his slippery footsies and infinite patience. He has been the quickest rising player in the West and can definitely give everyone a run for their money. We look forward to his presence.

Alex “Calipower” Valle – You can’t have a “King of the West” event without Mr. Westcoast himself. Valle’s legacy speaks for himself and his unpredictability paired with his ancient instinct definitely make him a threat. Can he overcome his own worst enemy..his execution, while executing everyone else? We’ll have to see.

Mike “Mike Ross” Ross – What is it about Black guys and slapping people…thousands of times? The people’s champion and another evo top 8 finalist. His performance against Gamerbee was definitely one to remember. Although he’d like for you to believe Honda isn’t the best, it’s a lie because his Honda is. His constant placement at the top of all the tournaments he enters solidifies his presence at this event.

Ricky “EG RickyO” Ortiz – Woman want to look like him, players want to play like him. After his amazing performance at Evo, not to mention just about every tournament he’s ever entered, Ricky presence is a necessity. Regarded as one of the fastest adaptive players out paired with his amazing reactions, his chance of taking the crown is very high.

Justin “EG Jwong” Wong” – Stranger to no one on this planet, Justin has decided to throw his hat in the fray. As a recent transplant to the WC this event will allow him to take the crown of his newfound home and if we’re all lucky, get to play Vangief again!!!!

It’s hard to imagine that anyone who is a regular visitor of this site does not already have Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix but if you are such a person and you own a PS3 then you can get the game half off as of now. Now go buy the game and don’t come back until you complete the game on the hardest level with every character.

On Friday, August 20th, to Sunday, August 22nd, at Byron Hall (part of Harrow Leisure Centre) in Harrow & Wealdstone, London, Neo Empire will be throwing their huge fighting game competition Super Vs. Battle. (more…)

Just like Marvel vs Capcom 2 last week, Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix is now 50% off on the Playstation Network. If you don’t Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix, this would be a great time to cop that. $7.49? Can’t beat that with a bat!
