After about a month of inactivity SCTier is finally back to provide the community with some pre-tournament coverage. This time we have the Northeast major, Winter Brawl with the veteran kAb as our guest. In the context of the current competitive scene this event can seem like a warm up, or a precursor to the upcoming Final Round. On the interviewer side of things there is Partisan, Jimbonator, and that one nameless desperado.
SCTier is currently getting back into gear and has things such as post-tournament coverage and other non-podcast media on the way. Once again, this project has massive potential and would love to hear any form of suggestion and feedback.
So without further ado, here is the pre-Winter Brawl podcast featuring kAb.
So you have found 8WAYRUN.com, and you are starting to like the people, conversations, and atmosphere of the place. You’ve maybe heard of tournament players or have already considered the idea of entering a tournament, but the idea of traveling anywhere farther than a few hours can be a scary prospect.
In this article we’ll demystify traveling and reveal some options what will make getting to the big leagues a lot easier.
It’s time for the first post-tournament podcast by SCTier! In the guise of killing two birds with one stone, we covered both SCR 2013 and APEX, featuring Xephukai and The Jimbonator as guests respectively. We also have Greatone and a shady mystery guest to express their views and entertain you. These podcasts will typically talk about the event itself, how it was presented, and the behind the scenes not caught on stream.
For those of you who are not in the know yet, SCTier is a budding Calibur de facto project designed to keep the community up to date on tournament listings, coverage, tutorials, and all things Calibur. At the head of SCTier you have your very own SCPartisan and Xephukai.
Just some minutes ago, the Evolution Championship Series Facebook page posted a poll asking it's followers about which games they'd like to see for EVO 2013.
I encourage all of you to vote and show the fighting game community that we support our game and want to see it at next years EVO Championships! It isn't everyday we get an opportunity like this, so PLEASE take advantage of it and show your support!
In years past, there's usually a down period after the conclusion of EVO until the next major event for us, but this year, there hasn't been much of a down period in major tournaments hosting Soulcalibur with plenty of events to check out going into 2013.
There were also some people asking about posting events on the front page, so I thought that it would be great to create one post for the upcoming events and include details and videos for those who are interested in attending.
Contrary to popular belief, there's still tournaments taking place for Soulcalibur V. If you happened to miss the live streams from the most recent events or check the archives for Tekken Arena, GUTS, or Double Impact, these match videos are now available to watch on YouTube.
You can watch the finals videos from these respective tournaments after the break. Special thanks to Kombat Houston, GameUnderground, and Tekken Italia for the uploads.
This weekend, we also had two major events that featured tournaments for Soulcalibur V, in Seasons Beatings: Ascension which was held on Friday night in Cleveland Ohio, and GUTS: Game Underground Tournament Spectacular which took place on Saturday in Somerville, Massachusetts.
If you were unable to attend or watch the tournaments live, you can find the stream archives as well as the results after the break.
