This weekend is definitely a stream monster weekend. Don't miss a second.
Events are in approximate order of start time. Note that events may be added/removed/updated as more information becomes available. If you have info on upcoming events for the week, or a stream you think should be featured, feel free to make a post below or send a PM.
Last week's thread (April 23-29)
APRIL 30 - MAY 6
SPECIAL EVENTS
May 4 is the 3rd KokuNuki Cup, a 3rd Strike 5on5 team battle event to be held at Game Spot Versus in Tokyo. If 3rd Strike is alive anywhere, it's in Japan, so expect to see a lot of great talent competing. The event will be streamed on Nuki's Nico community and begins at 3PM JST (UTC +9, 2AM EDT).
KVO THE ULTIMATE BATTLE will be taking place May 4-5 in Osaka, Japan. Organized by Kyamei, who also helps put together KUBOSGARDEN, the event will feature several games:
May 4
ULTIMATE MARVEL VS. CAPCOM 3 (3on3)
May 5
豪血寺一族 先祖供養 Gouketsuji Ichizoku: Matsuri Senzo Kuyou (Power Instinct 7)
persona4 The ULTIMATE in MAYONAKA ARENA
Some of the best Marvel players in Japan will be in attendance in what will be the biggest UMvC3 tournament in Japan thus far. The event is also a UMvC3 qualifier for Tougeki, so the winners of the UMvC3 tourney will get their blue tickets to compete in Tougeki 2012.
A sub-event for KVO 2012 is KVOxGODSGARDEN, a special collaboration. This is a 8-player semi-invitational with 1 player chosen by invite (Chou, the winner of KUBODSGARDEN in January); 4 by a fan vote held through last week; and 3 by a qualifier held right before the main tournament. The KVOxGODS vote is now closed, and the top vote recipients will be announced on AmalgameTV this Tuesday. The winner of KVOxGODS, sponsored by GODSGARDEN, earns a trip to EVO 2012.
Haunts, fubarduck and Bluerei will be traveling to Japan for KVO 2012 and the event will be streamed by IPLAYWINNER. In addition the three will be hosting "World Broadcasting Heroes", a show to be filmed during their stay that will function both as a documentary of the fighting game scene in Japan and as a travel guide for the Tokyo and Osaka areas. KVOxGODS is the 3rd event for Mix Up Night and will be streamed by MUN.
Shadowloo Showdown 2012 in Melbourne, Australia will be going down May 4-6. If you've seen the latest trailer, you'll know that a ton of star talent from across the globe will be in attendance (NOTE: ChrisG will not be going to SS2k12). Top-level players in KOF, 3S, UMvC3, VF5 and of course SSFIV AE are showing up, so expect to see some great action in all of the games.
The King of Fighters XIII
Skullgirls
SoulCalibur V
Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike Online Edition
Super Street Fighter IV Arcade Edition Ver.1012
Street Fighter X Tekken
Tekken Tag Tournament 2
Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3
Virtua Fighter5 Final Showdown
SS2k12 will be streamed by Shadowloo with two streams for the event,ShadowlooHQ and ShadowlooHQ2.
May 5-6 is Season's Beatings: Summer Slam. As a part of the Road to EVO 2012, all of the EVO games will be run, and being an SB tourney, of course there is ST.
King of Fighters XIII
Mortal Kombat
SoulCalibur V
Street Fighter X Tekken
Super Street Fighter II Turbo (Tournament of Legends qaulifier)
Super Street Fighter IV Arcade Edition Ver.2012
Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3
As with the past few Season's Beatings events, Summer Slam will be streamed by Team Sp00ky. While SS2k12 will be running the same days, the events are on opposite ends of the world, so there will be relatively very little time overlap. Are you stream monster enough to forgo sleep and watch them both?
Also May 5-6 in Sacramento, California is Battle at the Capitol, a special charity tournament. The entirety of the registration fee will go to Child's Play. All of the EVO games will have tourneys:
King of Fighters XIII
Mortal Kombat
SoulCalibur V
Street Fighter X Tekken
Super Street Fighter IV Arcade Edition Ver.2012
Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3
Skullgirls (side tourney)
The event will be streamed by FinestKO and the first tourney is scheduled to start at 1PM PDT.
