We got winners! One Fight Stand #19 just wrapped up and, with 48 players competing, this was a special one...
Every quarter we like to organize a Double Elimination Bracket and an 0-2 Bracket to replace the ol' Round Robin night.
From the player perspective, they get some great practice in a tournament format and we dish out some prizes. Plus, on the Tournament Organizer side, we test our efficiency in making sure our members have a smooth, speedy event. I mean... keeping the event to about an hour and a half on a Tuesday night? Yes...please...

If you're looking to level up in Street Fighter, I can't stress enough how important and helpful it is to have a community at your side.
That's why FightRise is an all-inclusive community where newer players are welcomed and our master rank players are always willing to share, help, train, and play!
These One Fight Stand events alone have taken some of our players who have never touched a fighting game into developing their game plan and climbing to Master rank.
Plus they're fun as you can see they're run seamlessly with an automated system in Battle Hub (so come dressed to impressed!).

Urge to Fight 5 is just mere days away. And, it's aptly titled: Legends Never Die.
That's because for the first time in Urge to Fight history we are throwing audience participation to the Battle Hub Streets. We have Legend Ranked, Marisa Player, Lazyboredom ready to defend the hill his kingdom was built on from all would be conquerors.
That's right... you have a chance to dethrone Lazyboredom during Urge to Fight 5 in a first-to-1 match. All you have to do is be ready when Urge to Fight 5: Legends Never Die airs this Sunday, March 10th, @ 8pmEST.
To celebrate such a fun event, I sat down with Lazyboredom to get his origin story and have him share some wise words for any of you looking to aspire up the ranks as he has.
While you listen to his knowledge dripping, take a gander at some of his notable victories in this highlight reel that'd bring a tear to any Marisa player's eye. Like Marisa would say... "That was a beautiful fight!"

As February rolls into Capcom Cup X we are seeing the fiercest competition since the launch of Street Fighter 6. And for good reason with a $1 million dollar grand prize on the line. But, everyone is eyeing another big update to Street Fighter 6... That's Ed to inject some new psycho power and life into the game.
After what has been a whirlwind year of amazing fighting game releases, we have seen so many new games with fresh mechanics drop. What a time to enjoy some good ol' fighting games! Tekken 8 being the most recent fighter that's sunk its grip on the hearts of gamers...over 2 million according to their franchise record-breaking sales figures.
And Street Fighter 6? Well, I'm happy to conclude for myself the game is still as fun and exciting to watch as ever. But, if our little Discord Community is any clue, I know that so many are ready for some updates to the game. While Akuma's release and Season 2 updates (come on...patch notes!) are still a ways away, we at least have Ed, who looks way cooler than he did in SFV, in our sights.
