Mr. Wizard also mentioned the return of the EVO online tournament for SF and Marvel for 2012. Last year, the winner of the online tournament received a trip to EVO. If you would like to see a similar online tournament for Soulcalibur V, let them know and show your support.

Oh hell yes!
 
As I've never been to Evolution before, do I need to even enter of the seeding tournaments to enter the EVO SCV tournament itself as I can only afford one trip to America this year...

Shoot him a tweet or post your interest here in this thread. He should see it either way.

And with the amount of people that do play Soulcalibur online, there should be a TON of interest in an online tournament for a trip to EVO.

And who knows, maybe a certain somebody could stream the finals for it. Hmm.
 
Sweet, see you in America, I can personally assure you there will be British representation for SCV. ^^

On a side note:
Idle. You had better come to this!
 
um i am interested in an online tournament for SCV mainly just for the fun of it of course in the compettive perspective and to have the chance to recieve a trip to EVO. If i do bad i am sure that this will prepare me for future competition. This also is the same for just going to EVO and not doing well: I will learn what a "competition" is from this experience either way.

I'm good at over exaggerating so i will just think of the competition more fierce than a regional or online tournement....if that is the right choice.
 
Also, I've just realised my 21st birthday is the day after the tournament finishes. Does anyone want to celebrate with me after EVO because I'll defenitely stay in Vegas for that! (Also I'll finally be able to order a proper drink in America, lol.)
 
It's great to see SCV for EVO. And I'm totally in support for an online tournament for SCV. Even if it's online, it's great for learning the matchups and showing general support for a game we all love.
 
oops but even still... EVO and Rio Seafood Buffett have become synonymous

Tag...all you can eat lobster tail!!
 
What are the best wired controller alternatives aside from an arcade stick or a PS2 controller converter? Any good wired third party controllers that feel similar to the wireless PS3 controller?

What if I remove the battery from my PS3 controller so that it can only work if connected by a USB cable?
