Tekken Tag Tournament, Tekken Tag Tournament 2, and Soulcalibur V Free to Enter at Winter Brawl 9

After experimenting with free-to-enter games at Northeast Championships 15, tournament organizer Eric “Big E” Small is ready to implement a similar system at the next installment of Winter Brawl.

Earlier today, Small took to Twitter to announce there will be no charge for a trio of Bandai Namco titles. If you happen to be interested in playing Tekken Tag Tournament, Tekken Tag Tournament 2, or Soulcalibur V, all you’ll have to do is pay your entry into the venue and you’ll be set!

But that’s not to say these games won’t have some nice prize pools to make competing all the sweeter; Tekken Tag Tournament 2 will feature a $1000 pot while Tekken Tag Tournament and Soulcalibur V will both be given $500 for their finalists.

Winter Brawl 9 is scheduled for February 20-22 in Philadelphia, Pennyslvania. More details can be found through the official website.

It’s Time for Foot Fireballs! Snoooootch Gets Fancy with Ultra Street Fighter IV’s Omega Mode Ken

Snoooootch is anything but a slouch when it comes to putting out content for Ultra Street Fighter IV’s Omega Mode, and his newest spotlight on Ken is no exception. These combos make use of aerial EX Tatsus in ways that honestly shouldn’t exist, especially when Hugo’s massive hurtbox gets involved.

The video also shows off some stuff that we don’t usually get to see in exhibitions, too. For example, toward the end, there’s a supercut of Ken using his Ultra 2 or his Super Combo as little more than a means to travel. With correct timing and spacing, the moves do connect, but they don’t really do notable damage. This sort of thing is best saved for closing out a match or just turning some heads, because it sure looks a lot flashier than dashing.
