EVO 2014 SCV and SC2 Side Tournaments

EVO 2014 is fast approaching and to make things more exciting, members of the Soul Calibur community have stepped up to help run side tournaments for both Soul Calibur 5 and Soul Calibur 2 HD Online! The events will be run by the folks at Twin Galaxies and to add further incentive for attendees, several members of the Soul Calibur community have graciously offered contributions to the Pot for both tournaments. With the contributions by Revin122, Jer, TalimJP, Malice & Zane, I believe the Pot Bonus figures for both tournaments are currently at $1000 for SCV and $700 for SC2HDO. This is a great showing from the Soul Calibur community so it would be waste to let them down by not attending, so get to EVO If you can because the event will certainly not be one to miss.

Japanese SoulCalibur II HD Online Tier List (1/31)

This is a tier list that was posted onto the internet by Michang who is a Japanese Soul Calibur player that I translated. Although Japan hasn't received the game in Japanese yet, (maybe some differences from say SC2 JP to PAL?) this might spark some interesting discussion and I hope to see more of this game from Japan when more of the players get access to it. Take a look at the tier list yourself below.
