Just a quick shout out to our very own CoCo | DMG/MCZ The Blacktastic for his impressive showing at Power Up 2012. Along with a top 8 finish in UMVC3 he was able to get some stream time to exhibit his commentary skillz. In my personal highlight of the entire tournament weekend, he showed an Evo Top 8 finisher why Captain America is not to be slept on. In case you missed the money match between UVG's Noel Brown and The Blacktastic... click the link to see it and all its glory. America!
A week after PowerUp, I think I've just about fully recovered from the event. From fits of frustration to losing my voice and somehow getting sick, there were some bad things and some good things to take away from the Cincinnati "EVO Qualifier".

I've heard some people say that their character does no damage or has little options. Even some talk about tiers being as important an issue in choosing a character as they are in some of the other more popular fighting games.
Not here! Your choice to win is many!
Well, do you? As an ever-growing competitive fighting game scene, Console Combat has to put itself and its people out there to be recognized by the rest of the general fighting game community, right? So the details are all figured out, people. The official clan-tag of Console Combat will be... drumroll please...
What's going on guys? Hopefully you're as excited for the return of Console Combat as I am (which you're not)! With April being a grand month for fighting games and tournaments galore, I'm going to give you guys just a little piece of what's going in the drama-filled, stream monster-having, glorious, finicky, dirtiest, and most beautiful thing we call the Fighting Game Community.

There is a very interesting discussion going on in one of the SRK threads. In summery it is revealing a lot of opportunities for MLG to improve the stream experience for viewers. Many of the notable names in the community are weighing in here. Also the Fighting Game Tournament Director for MLG responded... click the link to read what he had to say.
If you are not traveling to MLG or NorCal Regionals this weekend, there are a few gamestop stores that are hosting sfxt tournaments. I believe the entry is free and the prizes are not very good. However, it is a chance to compete. ALSO, YOU MUST SIGN UP IN ADVANCE IN PERSON AT THE STORE YOU WISH TO PLAY AT.
Update: I called almost every store and met a lot of friction. A few stores said that we needed to sign up in person and there was a chance that it may be canceled. However, the Macedonia store run by Josh Weigland, is running it on 360 and allowing the using of fight sticks. I would encourage you to head to his store. Also, you do not need to sign up in person and can show up on Saturday. Personally, I see this as an opportunity to compete and don't really care about the prizes. Hope to see you there.
Click the link for more details. All tournaments will be this Saturday, March 24th, at 2pm.
Namco released full patch notes for the upcoming SoulCalibur V patch. The fuzzy guard option select "bug" will be fixed, along with a ton of tweaks to moves for nearly all the characters. It seems like most of these adjustments are nerfs, but we'll see how it all plays out when the patch gets released on March 21.
SDTekken is hosting a PDF of the entire list here, or you can read a sampling of the system changes below.
It's been a while, hasn't it?
Although Console Combat has been undergoing an extended hiatus, we've been searching for a venue that will help us better accomodate the players. It's the community that helps us keep this thing going, after all! However, we at the Northeast Ohio fighting game community have not stopped in our efforts to compete with other scenes across the country!
