Why has the site seen so little news? For many reasons!

1. We're moving away from our own video platform, mostly because it costs a lot without adding very much to the experience. Our video on youtube is much more popular (obviously), and fewer people are hating on the commentary. We can save a lot of money and stress with this change, and get more eyeballs on the video while we're at it!
2. We're working on a f'reals merchandise store! That'll be up before February 1, I promise!
3. We're working on the REAL (read: non-beta) website! It's gonna be great, and I feel like updating this old one is a waste of time. Bleh!
4. I got Bayonetta! You should too. flyyyy me to the mooooooooooooooooon~

Anyway, be sure to tune in on Sunday for the next Battlefield Arcadia stream! No matter how crappy and slow we (read: just seb) are at updating the website, I'll always be at tournaments every weekend for streaming and recording!

So, I had the pleasure of attending one of Dynasty Events tournaments that are held at King's Games in Brooklyn, NY on November 7th(which was yesterday as of this writing). I figured I'd go since I missed out on the last Battlefield Arcadia, which had featured nothing but amazing matches from start to finish. "Why not?" I told myself, so I ended up going because you never know. Most of NY's finest players were in attendance and it looked like it might have been a promising tournament.

Tekken 6: Bloodline Rebellion has finally hit console at the time of this article. Every serious Tekken player is hungry right now because it's no longer Texas, California, and New York only playing the game. Everyone has it now. And I'm sure most of you are trying to figure out if you want to play Tekken after a long year of SF4 madness. Tekken 6 has been the number one game in Japan for two consecutive years according to Arcadia Monthly. So what in God's name makes this game stand out compared to other fighting games that come from Japan? There's a variety of reasons as to why it's popular in Japan. There was a slight dry spell in the Capcom and SNK camps in regards to something new. Tekken 6 launched in arcades November of 2007, so the game is pretty old by now if you lived in the above three states or played in Japan. But for a good majority of this country, the game is relatively new and there are probably going to be a lot more new players in the Tekken community. I, for one, am one of them.

Hey people! My name is Javits, known to those who went to Evo 2K9 in Las Vegas (Room 1676, Rio Hotel, Ipanema Tower!!) as the Don King of Street Fighter. Matches that went down in my hotel room at Evo include Daigo -vs- Arturo Sanchez, Andre Lambert -vs- Combofiend, LI Joe -vs- Shady K, and many more (Shoutouts to ruiN from Vegas for helping me create some hype too). I also helped set up the Daigo money matches that happened after Season's Beatings 4 in Columbus, Ohio (Thanks to Issei Suzuki for translating for us with Daigo, it was so much fun). The reason they gave me that nickname is because I'm all about building the hype in order to set up the best grudge matches, rivalry matches, money matches, and exhibition matches for the community's entertainment.

Tournaments are great but I find the true excitement in watching the matches that the people actually wants to see. How many times have you watched a tournament stream and wished for your favorite 2 (or more) players to duke it out in a set of really good matches but due to the brackets it just never happens? Well I say, forget about the brackets, forget about the politics, forget about the tournament formats, just forget about the RULES! If you want to see to people duke it out in a set just find a way to make it happen! Put money up, instigate, talk some trash, keep it friendly, keep it feisty, all of the above... WHATEVER! Just make it happen because to me the rivalries and the focus on the competitive drive in fighting games is what makes fighting games enjoyable and makes the players in the community want to step it up to the next level.
