Fighting Games Weekly | June 29 - Jul 5 | Frauds Among U.S.

Aksys are not allowing Marlinpie to enter Arc Revo quals at EVO because he doesn't have a US Passport. He has a Green Card and a Japanese Passport.

Jiyuna is allowed to enter because he has a US Passport even though he lives in Japan

For people that've travelled a lot for FGC tournaments, do airlines ever give you problems over your arcade stick?

They usually ask what the hell is in your bag and check it. I always wish for that moment where they know the player like with what happened with Arturo.

Yo why is Sanford always so salty?!

Just so that anyone who cares knows, all of the tournaments are TBA because they're all being scheduled around when P4AU and GGXrd pools are happening. Steams are also TBA, but that's moreso because it's never really known until the last minute who is or isn't going to get lit up by 4G connection issues.

The rules explicitly state that you have to be a US citizen to enter the tournament. I can see how from a practical matter that stinks, but it is what it is. Who knows whose call that is, even -- it could be a weird legal issue for all we know.
 
Just ordered p4u2 cuz of hearing y'all talk bout it and watching matches. I liked the first and felt like it had a nice pace and felt more free in that ggxx way.

Think I'll main s naoto but is mitsuru still good? Thought she was p cool.
 
Smug: "Can you take me off the overrated list?"

Kbrad: "Who did you lose to in the last tournament"

Smug: "......"

Mike Ross: "Wait who did he lose to?"

Kbrad: "Me."


ROFL!!!!
 
Is it that difficult to get a Japan visa? Or maybe it requires a special visa because they have a chance of winning money? It sounds like the spirit of the rule is to prevent Japanese players from qualifying in the USA.

Or a sponsor issue that says they want actual US players (citizens) for the spot. Remember, the spot is for foreign players to participate in Arc Revo as a special team, no? Having Japanese players that are residents take the spot kind of defeats the purpose of creating a slot for foreign players specifically.
