Howdy all. Devs are starting to release a greater number of tournament fighters for PC, which I think is great. If you play one, please consider posting what/who you play here. I'm always looking to add contacts and find sparring partners. As more games are released for PC, I will update as I play them.


I play

Super Street Fighter 4 AE 2012 -- Chun-Li (main), Vega/Claw, Zangief (alts)

Street Fighter x Tekken--Chun-Li/Lili (main), Ryu, Juri, Hworang, Jin (alts)

Skullgirls -- Cerebella/Valentine/Squigly

Dunno if this applies to anyone here, but:
Major Tournaments Agree to Rules Standardization on Player Collusion, Event Coverage Determined by Rule Inclusion and Enforcement

Collusion of any kind with your competitors is considered cheating. If the
Tournament Director determines that any competitor is colluding to manipulate
the results or intentionally underperforming, the collaborating players may be
immediately disqualified. This determination is to be made at the sole
discretion of the Tournament Director. Anyone disqualified in this manner
forfeits all rights to any titles or prizes they might have otherwise earned for
that tournament.

As of this writing, the following tournaments have agreed to institute this rule:

• Evolution Championship Series (Includes all Road to Evo events)
• Big E Gaming Events (Northeast Championships, Summer Jam, and Winter Brawl)
• Canada Cup Gaming (Canada Cup, April Duels)
• Community Effort Orlando
• Civil War
• East Coast Throwdown
• The Fall Classic
• Final Round
• Level|Up Events (SoCal Regionals, Wednesday Night Fights, and The Runback)
• MTLSF Events
• Northwest Majors
• Shadowloo Showdown
• NorCal Regionals
• Toronto Top Tiers (TORYUKEN, Canadian East Coast Championships)
• Treta Championship
• Ultimate Fighting Game Tournament
• Armshouse

For those not in the know, this stems from the Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 (UMVC3) finals at the Video X Games two weekends ago. In that match, EMP Flocker and AGE Chris G picked joke non-standard teams and split the pot afterward.

Note: Video language not safe for work.



In the wake of that both Capcom and MadCatz (the two main sponsors of fighting game tournaments) came out and said that they wouldn't be taking part in any tournament, regional or weekly, that featured players that acted as such. And so, the tournament organizers made the public pledge that Dowly linked to.

Well, fast forward to this previous Wednesday night at the weekly Next Level Battle Circuit tourney in New York, which was also part of the pledge. The finals of Street Fighter 4 this time featured the same AGE Chris G versus EMP Sanford Kelly this time. After playing seriously with their mains (Sakura and Sagat respectively), they both switch to random characters (Yang and Balrog/Boxer) and have a laugh at the newly instated rules. In response Victor Fontaine, the tournament organizer and the guy running the stream, shut the finals down.

Again, video not at all safe for work due to language. There be some angry, angry people:



Now it seems that sponsors, what few there are, are pulling out. FGC drama best drama.

[Dowly]

Losing for a benefit has been and will always be there. You just can't prove it,
if it's done right.

For a fighting game, I would imagine something like "accidentally" pressing the
wrong button at the wrong time and losing the fight would be pretty hard to prove.

King of Fighters XIII coming to Steam.

Could've posted it in the bit of news thread but since both SSF and SFxT uses the service.

“Games for Windows Live will be discontinued on July 1, 2014. Although it is available through Steam, Age of Empires Online requires features of the Games for Windows Live service. You can continue to enjoy all the features of Age of Empires Online as the service will remain 100% operational until July 1, 2014 when the server will shut down.”

Microsoft still hasn’t responded to requests for comment.
Assuming it’s sticking with those terms, however, that leaves titles previously tethered to GFWL’s hissing tendrils in a tight spot. Games like Bulletstorm, Dark Souls, Resident Evil 5 (which is abysmal without co-op), Street Fighter X Tekken, Iron Brigade, and Dirt 3 may well lose significant chunks of their functionality unless something changes between now and July.

Great good riddance it stinked anyway....but what would it mean for the SSF and SFxT MP because it uses the GFWL service.

Capcom is converting Ultra to use Steam as the matchmaking service. RIP my 3000BP Chun.

No word on SFxT, but that is fine because the PC netcode is terribad.

That's good news for SSF at least

I'm not really conerned for SFxT because the netcode just makes it unplayable when you are on different continents and was still hoping capcom one day might take a look at it and say ''you know what sucks, the netcode lets fix it''
