Deezo presents “Video Throwbacks”

 

Hey everybody this is Mandel Scott aka Deezo  introducing the Video Throwback series here at Seattle Versus.

For the very first of the video throwback series, I will be showcasing the classic B3 Street Fighter Alpha 2 finals that took place  between Alex “CaliPower” Valle and John “ChoiBoy” Choi.

SeattleVersus @ Gameworks 06/26/09

Abandon all hope, ye who enter here

Last Friday the SeattleVersus staff took a trip Downtown to try out new fighting games… at Gameworks. Hard to believe right? Well believe it, because now Gameworks has Blazblue, King of Fighters XII, and Tatsunoko vs Capcom on net city (Japanese) arcade cabinets. In addition to the fact that the arcade is expecting to get Tekken 6 Bloodline Rebellion very soon as well. To the average fighting game player in Seattle (one that’s familiar with the arcade scene), this is completely unheard of. One would suspect that they would have a better chance of winning the lottery or maybe even seeing a Unicorn with their very own eyes before Gameworks ever updated their archaic fighting game section. But ladies and gentlemen it has happened, albeit nearly a decade later, but better late than never. It all started last fall with Gameworks getting Street Fighter IV. A lot of people were happy with just that, figuring that expecting anything more would be silly, so this is all shocking to say the least. Especially since Gameworks is notorious for not caring about the fighting game scene.
