When we expanded the finals to 32 back in February, we had made plans to run a qualifier at Team Madcatz Championships in San Diego, which was scheduled to take place last weekend. After the announcement last week that TMC would be postponed until after EVO, we were approached by Box Arena to move the qualifier to their location at Frubble.
Frank Fresh, the director at Box Arena is an avid ST fan and Box Arena became the perfect choice to replace TMC, as Frank wants to be a part of the ST revival, they are the premiere fighting game group in San Diego and the qualifier remains in SoCal, as originally planned.
The Box Arena qualifier will take place on Saturday, June 2 at 2PM. The qualifiers will be $20 to enter and is standard ST tournament format:
Double elmination.
3 out of 5 games.
Akuma is banned.
This is our first encounter, but it won’t be our last.

This is our match for the title of Champion of the Universe where he defended his title for the 2nd time. I eventually took the title back, but that match wasn’t recorded.

Nemesis, our battle will be on a level of epicness that hasn’t been seen before. It needs to be held in a venue appropriate for its grandiosity, like a stadium or something.
I might go. It been about a year since I touched this game. And just about three since I played it seriously. I certainly am no legend. So, I expect to get rolled…But, I love the game.
Several of us are interested in going, we just gotta work out the carpool situation.
Not going to lie, I’m primarily willing to drive down there just to get some experience against Kuroppi and Zaspacer. I feel too comfortable in those matchups, and I need someone to make me think otherwise.
When I whip out my secret character, people are going to start pulling on my face to see if I’m someone else wearing the Mission Impossible mask disguised as me.
Inside joke. Only Kuroppi knows what I’m talking about.
I like how in ghost protocol the phone doesn’t self destruct properly and Tom Cruise has to go back and tap the phone to make it blow up. I thought that was clever.
