Final Round is the premiere fighting game tournament on the east coast. Final Round XII in 2009 was one of the first majors to house Street Fighter IV, and Final Round XIII in 2010 carries its own significance; it will be one of the last majors for Street Fighter IV, seeing as Super Street Fighter is already well on its way to consoles come late-April. Last year there were close to 300 people in the SFIV bracket, and things are looking even more promising this year, as everyone wants to put their stamp on this game before we ship it out to sea. This truly could be the "Final Round" for vanilla Street Fighter IV.
With this said, this is my first offline tournament I will be attending, which sounds a little crazy. I'm not sure how well I will fare, but I'm sure to have a great experience no matter the outcome. My goal = to win against someone. If I do that, then I'd say my experience is a success. I will be packing light, only bringing an arcade stick, some clothes, an ipod and my camcorder. My stick isn't even a PS3 stick, but who knows what casuals I may be playing at, I'm sure there's going to be random Xbox's throughout the various hotel rooms people will be staying in.
I'll be arriving Thursday, a day before the event begins, and two days before normal singles competition in Street Fighter IV. That'll give me time to dick around the venue with my camera, participate in some hype casuals with nobodies, and hang out with my very special buddy, SpecialBuddy! I'll either be renting a PS3 stick for the tourney (since it's all on PS3), or sharing his dual-modded AMERICA STYLE T.E., hopefully the latter. We'll be staying in the same room, so this is is your opportunity to come down to Final Round with us! WHO'S WITH ME!??!!
