This is this Saturday, any Giant Bombers in the area should come check it out. Follow us on twitter too while you're at it: http://twitter.com/UGTL Also, we will be having twice the amount of live art as well as vendor booths with anime and arcade stick parts. Dollar tacos.
sf4 was the first sf i took seriously, while i enjoyed all previous ones, i was by no means "good". if anything, i achieved king of the scrubs ranking amidst my friends, but my skills didn't build until sf4 hit. now i've found that my sf4 skills translate back to sf2, so i'm much better at the older games now than i ever was before.
if you want to be good at sf4, you will be, just practice and have fun. in the end, you'll gain skills that crossover to other sf games and other fighting games as well.
Hey I just did a ton of work to our website, started adding some info on the artists involved with the UGTL (both djs and visual artists). Check it out, lemme know what you think. It's still a work in progress for sure. http://theugtl.com
