Final round this year will be missing out on some of our top players. In order to make this Final Round the hypest event for Soulcalibur, @RTD has been putting in a ton of work. In the Soulcalibur Competitve Players Group, RTD has started a donation drive for two of our top players. @LostProvidence from Chicago and @lolo from Mexico would love to compete. However, LP and lolo need support from the community so that they can attend.

Most of you know that Final Round this year is going to be a huge event for Soulcalibur V. Thanks to Shin Blanka and others in the Atlanta scene, Soulcalibur was added to the list of main games. However, we have ran into a problem. There are just so many top players coming this year for FR17 that we need your help!

You can help us out by giving us your speculations on who will make Top 3. We can determine how to make an appropriate bracket by the community telling us who the real top dogs are. Below is RTD's post in the Soul Calibur Competitive Players Facebook Group where he addresses our predicament.

Soulcalibur: Lost Swords has finally been given a release date! According to EGM, the release date for Soulcalibur: Lost Swords in Europe and Australia is Spring 2014, however no date has been mentioned for North America. The game launched in Japan today so if you are desperate to get your hands on the game then make a JPN account and get downloading! No other information has been released yet.

Update: Release date for all regions confirmed for the end of April.

What's up, gang? With much sadness, I bring to you the last character episode of the SoulCast. We have, indeed, reached that point in the series and Alpha Patroklos is the last non-Edgemaster character to do. Special thanks to LostProvidence for joining me on this finale and sharing his knowledge!

Hey everyone! Final Round is rapidly approaching, with it taking place in the middle of March this year (March 14th-16th) and as usual looking to be one of the bigger events for SoulCalibur in NA. Thanks to @ShinBlanka and others, we now have Final Round as a main game.

A lot of people are hyped up for this tournament and like previous years, there will be a number of great players coming out to play. @RTD has recently made a generous offer to help finance players who are uncertain if they can go to Final Round via Facebook.

So, this episode was originally recorded at the end of November, but due to some very unfortunate hardware failure, my computer went kaput and I had to wait to get some scratch to get new parts so that I could get at the harddrive. (Which, by the way, thank God the harddrive/files didn't get corrupted.) For that, I am very sorry for the ridiculous delay.

With that out of the way, let's get to some Calibur! Big thanks to AZYG4LYFE for coming on to the show and chatting some Dampierre. Much love to those across the pond and the international community as a whole. Enjoy!

Recently revealed via the SCR (Southern California Regionals) 2014 lineup stream on LevelUpLive, Alex Valle announced that 20 games would be present at this year's event. Among those titles, SoulCalibur V will be making it's return for the 2nd time and joining it will be the recently launched SoulCalibur II:HD.
