Select Fighter – Fighting Games on March 8th

Our Select Fighter event is going to happen on March 8th, at 5pm in the SLC Great Hall.

We’re going to have a variety of Fighting Games around, with some amount of emphasis on Marvel vs Capcom 3, as it is very new. Other games include Super Street Fighter 4, Arcana Heart 3 and even older games like Killer Instinct.

We will be running a small Marvel vs Capcom 3 tournament with a $2 entrance fee if there is enough interest at it during the event. This will likely occur at 6:30pm-ish, once everyone gets settled and plays casuals for a bit.

There is a planning topic on our forums if you would like to help out.

5pm, SLC Great Hall

Mar 9: Starcraft II Meeting

MC 4041, 5:30pm

Mar 23: Starcraft II event

ASUS Starcraft II Open Season 2 – Final 32 Tournament, 5pm, SLC Great Hall

Mar 24: LAN Meeting

Room TBA

LAN Event – April 2, RCH 307, 11am-midnight

We’re running our 2nd LAN event of the term! Games like Team Fortress 2, League of Legends, Starcraft 2 will all be there as well as a bunch of other games. Just come on down to RCH 307 after 11am and play some games.

You’ll need to bring your own computer to the event. It may be unfortunate for you, however we’re not made of money. If we were, we would probably buy computers for public use. Please bring an ethernet cable, or two, or a hundred with you. We’re going to be connecting to a central switch, so we need all of the cables that we can get.

We’re also planning on running a series of “retro” games at 1:30pm. The general idea is that we’ll convince everyone to play a game for 20-30 minutes before switching to the next game. We’re only going to be doing older games that are freeware or abandonware, thus we’ll be leaving with good memories and/or completely ruined nostalgia. The current games that we’re thinking of running:

• Command & Conquer: Renegade
• Tribes 2 (via tribesnext)
• Soldat
• Tremulous
• Warsow (ok, so this is recent but it’s practically quake 3 arena)

If you have a great idea for a game, just post on our forums or email us at uwgamers@gmail.com

As for that Starcraft II thing that we ran last week, I’m working on getting all of the replays together and we should have a page up where you can watch the replays soon enough.
