Capcom seeks European SFIV champion News

Xbox 360 News by Robert Purchese

24 April, 2009

Capcom is running an Xbox 360 tournament to find Europe's best Street Fighter IV player.

Open now and ending on 17th May, the competition uses the new Championship mode (released today) to track your performance. This will be measured using Grade Points, which are awarded for victories.

During the weekend beginning 30th May, 30 fighters from each of the five European countries participating - UK, France, Germany, Italy and Spain - will compete for their national crown.

Then, on the weekend of 13th June, those champions will fly to a secret location for the International showdown.

Star prize is an Aerox R Yamaha scooter with matching - and SFIV-emblazoned - jackets.

Incidentally, Street Fighter IV fans without an Xbox Live Gold membership will be able to take part from 1st - 4th May, when Microsoft runs the Xtival weekend.

Please pick someone other than Ryu or Sagat.

Fuck this, Netherlands not participating grrr. Btw, Ryu is a wuss, only lost once or twice from him with Ken. Sagat is a pain in the ass though.

Yes; they've scaled down Europe as a result of the credit crunch.

I wonder if Gouken is banned? He's banned in most other unofficial tournaments due to the ridiculous priority, throws and parry's he has.

Screw that... Capcom could just keep the scooter and pay for Dream Machine to do a custom Street Fighter paint job on my Kawasaki ZX12R Ninja :D

Although with my current Sagat skills as they are, and having only accumulated around 3500 BP, I don't stand a chance of winning :(

I'd happily pay Ł200 in cash for that jacket right now :D although I am more of a Kawasaki man :-\

I play with Guile and love it when ppl pick Ken as 90% are quite beatable. Sagat can be a git, almost all Akuma players run away and air fireball.

I think I fall squarely in that 90%, Sonic_D, but my love for Ken knows no bounds! Guile and Sagat are good backups, shame Guile's combos require the dexterity of a chimpanzee wired to the moon to pull off with the 360 analog stick.

I've always played Ken, and I 'm not stopping now.

At least he isn't overpowered like Sagat.

If the prize ain't a DeLorean, I'm not interested.

It's a good rule of thumb for life in general.
