Welcome to this week's Fighting game tournament thread! We got two premier Capcom Cup tournaments with over $15,000 up for grabs at SCR, and $0 for Brazilian Game Show because that's how Capcom rolls! Also, there is the Beast of Madden tournament that is a tournament about Madden. Yes, Madden. The Football game. The game where there's a glitch where a white guy turned into a black guy. That game. But we'll talk about that later.
First up is SoCal Regionals! One of the premier Capcom Cup tournaments happening this weekend, it is also considered to be one of the best tournaments in general in the United States. If you watched Paragon, you might be familiar with the venue, the Ontario Convention Center in Ontario, California. Alex Valle, considered to be one of the OG's of the FGC scene is the main Tournament Organizer, and promises to host a weekend full of mirth and entertainment.
Expected players for Ultra are:
RB|Bonchan
CCG|Air
MCZ|Mago
Kazunoko
Reiketsu
pH|LPN
Velociraptor
Marq Teddy
RB|Snake Eyez
pH|Nando Tovar

Acekingoffsuit promises a schedule infographic, but in the mean time, you can look at this, provided by LevelupLive, the organization running SoCal Regionals.
Edit: and here it is!
If you're a fan of fighting games, you want to check out SCR.
Next up is the Brazilian Game Show! The history of BGS this year was sordid with allegations of collusion, trying to gate out the foreign devils and trying to secure a Capcom Cup spot for the locals. The reality is that the convention organizers of BGS were incompetent and had no idea what to do, so Capcom stepped in and set up a 128 invitational tournament. Also, Laura was offically revealed here. Officially. Unofficially, she was revealed by Famitsu and made Ono-san try tears of trolls.
People in the tournament include:
SOA|BrenoF1ght3rs
Reversal|ChuChu
SOA|Ibukiman
Pepeday
Haitani
Keoma
SFT|Alexandro
SFT|DARK817
AAG|Baby Brasil
SOA|Caju
I personally only know of Pepeday, Haitani, and ChuChu. And I only know ChuChu because he was super free at Capcom Cup 2014, going 0-2.
Again, [strikethrough]no infographic up yet,[/strikethough] but Capcom has provided a schedule for us to follow.
Edit: Here is the infographic!
It'll be on Capcom Unity BR Stream for Saturday, and Capcom Fighters on Monday.

Last up is the Beasts of Madden! I'll be honest. The only reason I'm mentioning this is because it's being streamed on Team Spooky and NYCFurby, or fellow gaffer Arturo Sanchez is streaming it. I have no idea what a Madden tournament looks like. I'm not sure that I want to find out. But it's there. You can watch it. Maybe another white player will turn black again.
That's it! If you know of a tournament and the info isn't posted, please share it in the thread! I try to hit everything, but I'm only one person and there are always a ton of stuff out there.
Note: If you have an interest in discussing the Fighting Game Community, consider joining the Fighting Game Community thread where we try to talk about what is happening in the FGC.
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
