The folks over at Super Arcade have just gone live with their Thursday night weekly. This is another installment of their brand new tournament series, marking yet another chapter in the venue’s history as they strike off on their own.

Similar to The Runback, tonight will see competition in both Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 and Killer Instinct, along with Under Night In-Birth Exe:Late and Persona 4 Arena Ultimax should there be enough interest.

Also, a special treat, they will be running a tournament for Capcom vs. SNK 2 in preparation for 37 Reloaded this weekend. Fighting game legend BAS is reportedly in town, so it should be quite a show!

The stream has been included below, but you can also visit Twitch if you prefer to chat with other viewers. Full brackets have been made available through Challonge.

Yes, the time is finally here: Super Smash Bros. for Wii U is now available in North America through the Nintendo eShop. While the handheld version served as a great warm-up, tonight’s release is sure to serve as the main source of competition.

If you took advantage of Nintendo’s pre-download program, you should be able to patch Super Smash Bros. for Wii U with the last bit of unlocking data you need to play it. Those of you outside that camp, however, will need to purchase the game digitally or wait until tomorrow morning to pick up a physical copy.

Super Smash Bros. for Wii U will continue its release campaign into Europe and Japan on November 28 and December 6, respectively.

Are you among those already playing this new installment? Let us know what you think in the comments.

Over the past few months, Northern California has been stepping their collective game up with regards to consistent events, and one of the big groups behind all this is competitive gaming organization ShowDown. Their weekly Churning the Butter tournament has only been running for a couple weeks, and yet they are garnering a player base on par with other local tournaments around the country. And, as we highlighted in videos from their second outing, some fantastic talent is showing up to throw down and improve their own game.

Tonight, they have once again taken over Folsom Street Foundry in San Francisco, California to put on an Ultra Street Fighter IV tournament for the regional players. If you’re interested in seeing what the NorCal cats have up their sleeves, be sure to check out the stream below and show your support. You can also head on over to Twitch if you prefer to chat.

Want to check these tournaments out for yourself? Well, you’re in luck, because even if you missed out this week, Churning the Butter is held every Thursday at 8 PM PDT during ShowDown’s game night at Folsom Street Foundry. The group also plans to eventually get a ranbat series off the ground at the same venue, so stay tuned for more.
