As always, if you see an infographic for a FGC tournament, it was likely made by acekingoffsuit. The guy makes stream schedules for every major tournament and he does it for free. You can find his twitter account here: https://twitter.com/acekingoffsuit

Also, Malice215's FGC Calendar was used to help get more information on tournaments. Malice215 (also a gaffer) spends much of his free time maintaining the FGC Calendar

Without them, it wold be a lot harder to give out any of this information.
 
I'm hype to see how Tachikawa does at X-Mania. The SF2 championship edition Japanese champion.

edit: Could have been hyper fighting.

Damn, no one watching either huh. Guess I'll check out Smash at Pax since I'm not too interested in the team tourneys at Summer Jam
 
Saturday night at Summer Jam there will be a FT10 exhibition between Scamby and Cloud805 in umvc3.

Edit: I see it in the graphic now. And the other exhibition is Perfect Legend vs Sonic Fox.

Is this the first tourney where they use the PS4 ver? Alcucards Hugo is godlike tho

First big PS4 tournament in the US. Asian and European tournaments have already started the switch over.

Hugo brings the damn hype! Loving these matches.

Also appreciate the shoutout. Just doing my part to keep people informed. I also started a new Twitter for live updates.
