Fighting Games Weekly | March 26 - April 1

I guess it's time for another upgrade. Just like the expansion from the Guard Crush thread to Fighting Game Wednesday, this change is probably long overdue, and since I'm the one who usually makes the thread, I'll take responsibility for the inaction. I'm not sure how well this idea will work, expanding the thread from a single day to a weekly, but we'll see.

As for the overall purpose for a weekly thread:

1. A home for discussion on the various weeklies.
2. A catch-all for FGC-related streams that might not fit the theme of a particular game thread.
3. A place for reminders of upcoming events, such as majors.

As you can guess, I had intended to make this a few days earlier, but yeah, I'm a bit lazy. As for the streams listed, these are the ones that are the most popular and/or feature a significant number of notable players (plus a bit of my own personal bias). Of course, what fits that qualification is pretty subjective, so if there's a stream that you think that should be listed and isn't, make a post or send a PM, or hell, make the thread. It's not mine, it's everybody's thread.

Time Zones
The majority of these streams are US-based, and either on the East or West Coast. If you're a follower of fighting game majors, you probably already know about the 3-hour gap between EDT (UTC -4) and PDT (UTC -7). For EC and WC events, I leave the time in the native time zone, since factoring those three hours should be easy enough. As for events outside of the US, I list the native time zone first, followed by the UTC/GMT listing and a conversion to EDT.

MARCH 26 - APRIL 1

Special Events

CAPCOM and GODSGARDEN are collaborating again to bring you another event, this time featuring SFXTK. CAPCOM x GODSGARDEN 2 on Friday March 30 will be an open 32-player bracket tourney, but 4 of those slots are taken by invitees: Nuki, Kokujin, Nekojita and Kazunoko.

You should include the live talk shows too.

Cross Counter, UltraChen, any others there might be.
Click to expand...

Yeah, I probably should add those in, but with a re-direct to the individual threads for those streams. Since CC Live and UltraChen already have their own threads, that's where all the discussion should be going.
 
Amazing work, USD. Kudo for being such a badass. Thanks as always, for making the majority of the fighting game threads.

STA VF5 ranbats will be this Friday.

Also CVS2/3S/MVC2 will be this Sunday, not KOF.
Click to expand...

Yeah, I made a general weekly template but forgot to change some of the individual streams for this week, thanks for the reminder. Also probably just got some stuff wrong.
 
Just wanted to give a bit thank you to USD, thanks for always making the threads and in a great format to boot. Kudos sir.
 
Hmm, So I'm planning on going to the godsgarden tournament tomorrow.. but it's only a 32 man bracket? Is it going to be first come first serve, or do they really expect such little interest?

I'm pretty sure the bracket is already filled. I'm sure there was plenty of interest, just keeping the tourney small to keep things running on time. The event starts pretty late, so there's no way they probably couldn't manage to run a larger one without spilling over into the next day.
 
Just way to say own3d.tv works like a buttery silky dream on the new ipad, no app needed, 60fps stream so smooth and the ipad is taking it like drinking water.

I wish twitch was this good.

GodsGarden is usually an invitational with an open bracket to play in for the last couple slots. Dunno how this one will work.
 
looks like its big two for me tonight, the runback tomorrow, and curleh mustache 3 on saturday!

curleh is definitely going to be awesome, and the last one did not disappoint!
 
In dat ass tonight for spooky. I hope he puts some input into the Gootecks situation, and maybe they'll do 2v2 in SFxT? One can hope we start seeing it so we can see if the EVO staff is on the right track, or if the game is still shitty to watch.
 
The girlfriend bought me a Team Spooky t-shirt for my birthday earlier this week. Best thing is I have a Kappa sticker but I have no clue where to place this sucker.

Hm, but on the website it looks like it says it has an open bracket with some invitations? Also am I reading it right that there are sign ups starting at 6pm?

Updated the OP with several talk(-ish) shows: UltraChenTV, WakeUp SRK Live, Cross Counter Live, TOPANGA TV (JP) and KaoTV! (JP). Note that UltraChen and CC Live already have their own threads, so discussion should go there.
