The folks over at VG BootCamp recently went live with another installment of Smash @ Xanadu from Xanadu Games in Baltimore, Maryland. These weekly broadcasts provide a great look at the region’s Smash community, with tonight’s stream focusing entirely on Super Smash Bros. for Wii U.

As a neat twist, the event will also allow players to choose custom moves, so check it out to see what these techniques bring to the table. The stream is live below, but you can also head on over to Twitch to join the chat.

NorCal Regionals 2015’s Community Choice Games Decided; Guilty Gear Xrd -SIGN-, Marvel vs. Capcom 2, and More

NorCal Regionals, typically hyper-focused on Capcom games like Ultra Street Fighter IV and Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3, has once again allowed the community to decide which games will also be included in the official lineup for this year’s event. While a title needed only eight entrants to be considered, the recent March 15 deadline gave us a clear picture of which scenes will be showing up to Sacramento to compete and which will not.

According to an email being sent out to registrants, Skullgirls, Street Fighter x Tekken, Divekick, Tekken Tag Tournament 2, Virtua Fighter 5 Final Showdown, Soulcalibur V, Soulcalibur II, and Capcom vs. SNK 2 did not receive enough participants to keep a spot in the roster.

These results show a continuing decline in 3D representation outside of particular regions, but perhaps the most surprising is the absence of interest in perennial favorite Capcom vs. SNK 2.

Fortunately, it’s not all bad news! Fans of King of Fighters XIII, Killer Instinct, Guilty Gear Xrd -SIGN-, Dead or Alive 5 Ultimate, Super Street Fighter II Turbo, Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike, Marvel vs. Capcom 2, Under Night In-Birth Exe:Late, Persona 4 Arena Ultimax, and BlazBlue: Chronophantasma will be joining the aforementioned Capcom games as well as Super Smash Bros. Melee and Super Smash Bros. for Wii U in the weekend’s lineup.

NorCal Regionals 2015 is scheduled for April 3-5 in Sacramento, California. Registration for this event will be open until March 27, so be sure to visit the official website for more details.

Ever since we launched this blog, we’ve been covering a ton on the ins and outs of YouTubing as an MMO gamer.

Well at TGN we don’t like to play favourites when it comes to gaming content, because we pretty much love every kind of gamer vid out there.
