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!

This is it! You’ve broken through your opponent’s defense and landed a powerful strike, sending him reeling. Now, while the time is right- don’t back off! He is weakened on the ground- you can end this, right here and now! Step forward and deliver the coup de grâce!

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.

So your time has finally come. The veritable God of Calibur stands before you. Spacing unparalleled, punishment razor-sharp. Rushdown like a tornado, defense an impenetrable fortress. You have no chance of winning against this opponent.

… but you do. You possess a gift- a small glimmer of hope in the face of this adversity. A weapon powerful enough to combat even the most invincible opponent. You, my friend, must never forget that you have the power of mixups.

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.

If you’ve ever been playing the game, and you’re just having… just a lot of trouble. Nothing seems to be working, you can’t penetrate your opponent’s defense, you lose and lose and you don’t know why.

If it’s ever happened to you, well, the million-dollar question is: Are you punishing?

If you are not punishing, you are going to lose! Besides, you want your revenge, don’t you? Don’t let your opponent get away!

What’s the one way that you can guarantee victory forever and ever, win all of the time, and never lose? I’m talking… tournaments, sponsorships, money matches, casuals in the dorm room, skimpy cosplay girls, game director shaking your hand, Charlie Sheen, all I do is win, put your hands in the air, make them stay there. Be psychic.
