Gamestop SF4 National Tournament

03.23.2009

One of the reasons why I been busy is because of the National Street Fighter 4 Tournament held by Gamestop and affilated with Evolution.  There are 4 rounds and the 4th round which is the finals will be held in Northern California.  The first 3 rounds will be held in local gamestops around the nation.  I qualifed for the finals!!! (YAY ME)  I been competing at the Gamestop on 33rd and Broadway for all 3 rounds.  There were prizes too.

Round 1 Prize = Golden SF4 Headband + Red headband
Round 2 Prize = Street Fighter 4 FIGHT PAD + Green headband
Round 3 Prize = Street Fighter 4 Tournament Edition Stick + Brown headband

Soo I had no problem qualifying each round.  I had to play on the sad xbox 360 pad. That kinda sucks, but I been practicing on pad like alot.  Now I am happy that I made it to round 4 where I can officially fight for the Nation’s best in the best game ever created since slice bread, Street Fighter 4.  The finals consist of 16 players from different regions.  The Final prize is the Street Fighter Arcade Cabinet which is valued up to $15,000. And also if you are the 16 finalists, you get an seed at the Evolution Tournament held in July in Las Vegas. OMG!!!! At least the finals we are able to use actual joysticks, which is a plus.

Now the winner of this tournament will then represent the US in the world tournament. The world tournament will consist of 4 players.  One from the US, Iyo who is the Japanese Champion, Poonkyo who is the Korean Champion and the Euro Champion has not been announced.  I hope I am the one to represent the Land of the Free. (That was corny.)

Wish me luck everyone!!!!
