Super Turbo Sundries

SNF2X Poll


I put a quick poll on left side of the blog. In addition to picking one of the choices I'd ask that you:

1) tell your sparring partners about it. The idea is to survey regular readers but friends of regular readers would be excellent, too.

2) post ideas for future polls in the comments to this post. This concept was lifted from the SF2 Fan Site (see below) but those questions don't really fit here.

Thank you!

Star Cup Live Stream


Gama no Abura (NSB chief) is going to help get a stream up for Star Cup weekend.

Pre-Star Cup Event
October 10th at 7:30pm (Japan)

Duo 4on4 tournament (each team consists of four characters divided up between two players) followed by some exhibition matches.

The SuperStar Cup 2009
October 11th at 1pm (Japan)

Solo 3on3 as usual.

It isn't clear what exactly is going to be streamed and where, but the exhibition matches, at least, will be on Nico Live. You'll need a Nico Video account for that. I'll post URLs when I have them.
