Get pumped to this.

Hello and welcome! If you missed us last week, and I wouldn't be suprised if you did, I am the offical host of the PS3 side of Destructoid's Saturday fighting game marathon Shoryuken Saturday. The deal is simple: six hours of non-stop hitting each other in the face over various fighting games on PSN. Last week was a bit of a slow start, along with some annoying connection problems, but it worked out. A lot of people wern't around for it, be it they were away for the weekend or just didn't show however. I expect more people to be around this weekend. So what is the lineup for this weekend?

All times are US EST.



8pm-10pm - Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix
Kicking it off old school/new school here. We had a lot of problems last week with trying to get a game going, but we can always try again. I still need my fix, and I told Yojimbo I'd fight him.



9pm-10pm - Street Fighter IV
Grab a partner from STHD, because next is Street Fighter 4. Hopefully we won't end up just rotating between three people like last week. Maybe we can even run a tournament room if enough people join. The time is overlapping with STHD too because more people can fit in a room so I'd think the gameing would want to last longer.




10pm-11pm - King of Fighters XII
Checking the forums, enough people have picked this up I'll be playing with more then nilcam this week. Yojimbo, Solgrim, Magnalon, nilcam, decoy...come on, get on this shit!! Bad netcode or not, we have enough for a good room. Also, it's not a beta you punks. >=(




11pm-??? - BlazBlue: Calamity Trigger
Wrapping it up is the best, and most popular, on the menu. I don't think I need to describe what will happen when BlazBlue starts up. Tager's will start smashing hopes and dreams, AoBRA will laugh manically, I'll guard break someone with my Arakune, and Yojimbo will beat everyone with his Hakumen. Good fucking times regardless.


Let's get a crowd this weekend. As for a quick preview of next week...
