Street Fight IV Launch Party and a Little SWAG

Well, now that the 2old2play XBL Community Playdate is behind us, it is time to plan our next event. Since we have not seen the release of a "True" Fighting game in some time (Soul Caliber does not count as it includes weapons - my opinion and I AM allowed to have one), I thought we might host a special event to kick off the release of Capcom's Street Fighter IV on February 17th. The game should hit stores on the following day, so why don't we plan a little get-together on Friday, February 20th? This should give everyone a few days to get into the swing (and kick and punch) of things and learn a few new moves before trying to show off in public. INKA_COLA and MancoTheGr8 have volunteered to help me pull something together on relatively short notice and we should have more details for you by the end of this week. We may simply set up a "Mini-Community Mixer" and organize a number of rooms hosting matches. Or, if we get really motivated, we might just try to set up a little impromptu tournament. So stay tuned and be sure to go out and get your copies of Street Fighter IV next Wednesday and start practicing, cause there's gonna be a fight!

And in the spirit of great fighting personas, I have a few free gifts to give away. I have one more Afro Samurai figurine and a X-Blade T-shirt up for grabs. Each will be given away to a separate winner. All you have to do is post a comment in reply to this blog prior to this Friday, February 13th at 5:00 pm est. Two winners will be chosen at random from those post a comment. But please, try to say something interesting, witty or relevant to the subject at hand (i.e. fighting games). I reserve the right to disqualify anyone for being a bonehead - You have been warned.
