FGC Events this year!
Yo guys, going to break up the stories for a bit just to mention some of the stuff I'm doing this year in the FGC.
So far I'm confirmed for at least 3 events that I feel like I can't afford to miss on a personal level.
Buttonsmash 2014
This is held in Queensland, March 15-16

Back in 2012 I had attended this event and got fairly strong results but lost to myself in the top 8 matches that counted. One match that really stuck out as horrible on my part was vs Snow (Akuma) in the top 8, I really underperformed a let him get away with a lot of things that Akuma can't do in the Dictator match up. I can't wait for the opportunity to play Snow again and play to my potential. Other than that, Queensland is the home to most of the serious Marvel players in Australia. So it'll be great to actually play Marvel again because things have kind of hit a lull here in Melbourne. I've had quite a few close matches against Baxter in tournaments over the years in Marvel and I'm hoping this is the year I close it out on him. At worst, it'll be a good chance to hang out with my mates that I haven't seen in awhile!
If you guys like those ESGN profile pics, Buttonsmash was doing these in 2012 with a green screen and it was super funny.
The second event is
SEAM 2014 June 20-22 Trailer here - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ebf_gKxKwJY
Now I was already considering going to Singapore before July this year just for the purposes of training up, when Sgfinest released the trailer for this major I locked myself in to go. A lot of my major improvements in gaming came from my visit to Singapore, they just have so many talented players and it's also home to one of my buddies Xian.
The last time I attended, I actually got decent results with two top 8 finishes. This time around, I want to break into that top 4 and improve my results in SSF4 (It'll be Ultra by then).
The third event doesn't require an explanation.
EVO 2014
