There was a tournament on Halloween night at a SoCal rave in 2009, the game was Street Fighter 4 and the grand prize was a PlayStation 3 console.
No social media or StartGG to find out who was attending so this event was unknown to the digital streets.
Yours truly heard of this tournament via party flier and noticed the grand prize was worth entering. At the time I was purchasing consoles/monitors for training sessions (soon to be WNF).
The tournament at a rave was a cool concept if you’re into the party scene and gaming. Probably not ideal for general tourney goers due to loud music and flashing lights.
Upon arrival I went straight to the tournament organizer to ensure a PS3 was there for the grand prize. As advertised, he showed me the prize which was ready for the winner.
I looked around to check the competition and could see some familiar faces looking nervous and surprised to see me. One of those familiar faces (which was most likely a grand final contender) was @ThatMikeRossGuy .
I don’t remember much of the tournament bracket run just that it was super free. As predicted, Mike Ross was in grand finals vs me. Honda vs Ryu so you can imagine how that match went.
Thank you @ThatMikeRossGuy for the FREE PS3 to add to my collection and Happy Halloween 🎃View quoted post on X
