Sure, who doesn’t want to get their hands on Street Fighter IV more than a month before it’ll be in stores? Well, Capcom is offering some PlayStation.Blog readers the chance to do just that, later this week in Las Vegas. Better yet, your Dragon Punches, Flash Kicks, and That-Thing-Vega-Does-Where-He-Jumps-Off-The-Edge-Of-The-Screen-And-Suplexes-Fools will count for Team PlayStation in a friendly bout vs the readers of Microsoft’s Major Nelson!
Here’s how it works: We’ll hold a tournament on the PLAYSTATION 3 version of Street Fighter IV to determine the best PlayStation player. This fantastic and charismatic individual will be awarded a Collector’s Edition Street Fighter IV, before taking on the Microsoft winner. This person will then be victorious, because they’re just that special. Capiche?
Do you think you’re that person? Well, if you’re 18 or older *and* will be in Las Vegas this Saturday (January 10th) *and* know how to pull off a Super, email iwannaplaystreetfighteriv@gmail.com with your name, PSN ID, and why you think you should have a chance to compete. I’ll be in touch.
Please keep in mind that only 20 players can compete on behalf of PlayStation, as room and time are limited. Each chosen competitor will be allowed to bring one guest to witness their moment in the sun. More details here.
If you can’t make it to Vegas, look for updates on Capcom’s Unity Blog, and right here on the PSB a week from today. Good luck, and remember: You must defeat Sheng Long to stand a chance!
I took a look at the Major Nelson site and this PSB owns that site. Go PSB.
Dammit! I wish lived in Vegas right about now.
I don’t think defenders of a particular brand should be ashamed for doing what they do, sure call them fanboys, but if someone generally attacked games as a whole, would anyone in ‘love’ with games, sit idly by, and say nothing given half a chance… no way!… There is nothing in-human about standing up for what you love, trust, and/or respect, attackers on the other hand, are the ones that should be ashamed, they obviously do it out of jealousy, or unrest, over a particular subject.
That aside, I’m a dedicated Sony fan, not because of any one reason either, I’ve continually paid attention to the industry as a whole, my entire life thus far, and my trust, and respect for Sony will not be shaken easily.
That also aside, I feel the PlayStation controller completely destroys the 360’s, and I’m sure MS fans feel the exact opposite, it’s a complete mistake to hold a final bout’ on any one system, a coin toss would instantly determine a winner they wouldn’t even need to fight the match, It’s very unfair, and boils down to a 50%/50%, something both players are not that familiar with or equally familiar with is the only answer.
And whoever said not to take this contest seriously, needs to check their location, we here at Sony camp take everything about videogames very seriously, a competition is all about status and perseverance. It means a lot, don’t try to sell it short, and try to cheapen the effect. Capcom has done something brilliant with this competition in my opinion, I hope it’s an example that many games follow in the future, it’s nice to see fanboys of multiple devices in one place competing, no matter what the outcome.
A new movement in gaming… I say “BRING IT! X-Bots!”
Sounds awesome. SF4 is my most expected game this year. And I must find a way to import a MadCatz Pad :3
Excellent idea!
PLEASE ANSWER MY QUESTION!!
So lets say if i make the trip to vegas will i be able waltz in and spectate the match!?
or is there some sort of fee!?
No, you\’ll have to email me and be selected, or be the guest of someone who is selected. There\’s very limited room.
And again, big bouncers, I\’m told.
