apparently there's a scene in chicago that does locals for a handful of puzzle games though

I've actually been trying to convince people to do a puzzgame event here in Minneapolis, might just have to take a trek down there.

PS4 version is slightly more expensive at 50 dollars, 10 bucks off the list price of 60, and both versions have free shipping

it's not a great deal but it's decent if you were looking for a disc copy this is going to be your best chance probably unless you want pre-owned

Schedule update: the SoCal regionals were supposed to happen in May but they never did and it looks like they've been spun off into a 3 part tourney, one of which is happening in June (the others are after Evo). It appears to be a smaller one-day event with just USFIV, MKX, UMVC3 and GGXrd on June 6.

More importantly the Combo Breaker schedule is out and is jam packed. 15 games with brackets, plus multiple auction tourneys, plus a mystery game and random events, plus 4 throwback brackets and 5 or more commentary crews means over 200 hours of fighting games being broadcast this weekend. I'm very excited. It's also being sponsored by a variety of companies and developers in the area, which means higher quality broadcasts and some games with $10k pools.

Game List:
USFIV + Auction
MKX + Auction
KI + Auction
GGXrd
TTT2
UMVC3 + Auction
Skullgirls + Auction
Smash 4 + Auction
Melee
UNIEL
KOFXIII
Injustice
Divekick
P4AU
Lethal League 2v2

Throwbacks
Marvel Vs. Capcom 2
Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 (yes!)
Vampire Savoir (YEs!)
Garou: Mark of the Wolves (due to revitalized interest after the wildly popular imp zone tournament hosted earlier this year. We did it)

has there ever been a good auction tournament? all of the ones i've seen just had like one good player get the characters he wants while everyone else who plays have seemingly never played the game before and they get predictably trashed. i guess the auction itself can be funny to watch, like when people went out of their way to outbid chris g on everything he wanted

the only fail part about combo breaker is that KOFXIII is only being broadcast for top 4 and none of pool play. Ah well, there's probably only like 6 people in the tourney anyway

no offense to KOF lovers but watching it is like watching modern ballet, I can't work out what the gently caress is going on

serious respect to KOF players because something about those games breaks my ability to parse fighting games
