Soulcalibur V

This past weekend, MLG streamed an event where they paired off some of the best players for Starcraft 2 in a boxing-style show match called MLG PrizeFights. They are now looking to expand the concept and have a poll for which fighting game people would like to see on the show.

Right now its between Mortal Kombat and Soulcalibur V, and SCV is getting its ass kicked in the polls, so if you would like to see Soulcalibur featured, then make sure that you cast your vote. You can vote as many times as you want! So vote, click "return to poll" and vote again! Keep repeating this until they "block" you from voting; you will be unblocked 2 hours later and will be able to begin voting again!

Power Up 2012 is now over!

The top 8 for Soulcalibur V has concluded, however you can find the results and a battle log of the top 8 action after the break.

The 8th edition of Stunfest is currently taking place in Rennes, France. The solo tournament for Soulcalibur V has concluded, but on Sunday, the finals for the 3 on 3 tournament will be streamed beginning at 3PM CET (GMT +1) / 9AM EDT.

After the break, you can check the results from the solo tournament along with the stream archives for the top 32 that have taken place today.

On Wednesday, MLG shared some some details on their next two upcoming events for fighting games. The first event which is the Spring Arena, will take place in their studio in New York City on April 28th and is an expansion on their Winter Arena event for Starcraft 2. At this event, the top 8 placers in Soulcalibur V and Mortal Kombat at MLG Columbus are being flown to New York to compete in a $3400 prize pool for each respective game.

The second upcoming event which is the Spring Championship, takes place on June 8-10th in Anaheim, California and will feature SCV, MK, and KOFXIII. Spectator passes are already available for sale where as competitor passes go on sale May 1st.

Earlier this week, Namco Bandai brought us the SC5 World Championships in which 8 players from around the world competed for a cool $10,000 ! If you watched the event live (which I unfortunately couldn't), you would have seen that Hori USA was running a special promotion for their Soulcalibur 5 Arcade Sticks.

Well Namco Bandai and Hori USA just informed me that this special promo will be extended until next week! The normal price for this stick, which is probably the best arcade stick Hori has ever made will run you a total of $150. Well using the coupon codes in the images below, you can save some money and get one of these sticks at a steal of $100!

The time is almost upon us! Tonight, starting at 7pm Pacific (10pm Eastern), eight of the world's best SOULCALIBUR V players will be squaring off for over $10,000 in prizes. Be sure to check it out live, courtesy of Team Spooky.

In case you haven't been paying attention, Namco Bandai has put together a "world championship" event. During the past month, players have been competing for a chance to be invited to the finals; even if they didn't know it! Eight of the best players in the world are being flown in to Las Vegas, in order to compete in this very exclusive event.

The event will be streamed by Team Spooky and will feature commentary from Mark "MarkMan" Julio from MadCatz and Rich "filthieRich" Bantegui from Namco Bandai. In addition to that, Namco Bandai has just released a teaser trailer for this event showing off the players who will be competing for that $10,000 prize!
