As some of you may already know, Nintendo and the Pokémon Company are backing Pokkén Tournament with a dedicated Pokkén Tournament Championship Series. Currently, a $100,000 prize pool is on the line for those who plan to compete in the series.

Now, more details on the Pokkén Tournament Championship Series have been revealed. The biggest new piece of information we have is that the series will be split into 2 divisions: Masters and Seniors. Players born after 2001 will compete in the Masters division. Meanwhile, those born before 2001 will be part of the Seniors division.

These divisions will have different numbers of players at the world championships later this year. The Masters division will have 64 players while the Seniors Division will only have 16.

Players from both divisions will compete in major and minor PTCS events. For the Masters Division, major events will see the top 32 receive points, while minor events will only have them for the top 16. For the Seniors, only the top 2 will receive points.

The Pokkén Tournament Championship Series starts this weekend in Europe with the Pokémon UK National Championship. It ends with the World Championship in August.

In the wake of statements from Disney regarding its future (or rather not) in the video game industry, speculation has been growing as to the possibility of another entry in the Marvel vs. Capcom franchise, considering Marvel licenses fall under Disney’s umbrella.

Taking a small step further than merely speculating, eager fans from the /r/MvC3 Reddit community have launched a Change.org petition to show Disney and Capcom that the fighting game community is indeed ready for a fresh installment in the renowned series.

As of this writing, the Marvel Vs. Capcom 4 petition has gathered over 3800 signatures, putting it well on its way to making its target of 5000. The petition can be viewed–and signed, if you’d like to add your support–here.

Do note that reaching the petition’s goal will not necessarily persuade any involved parties to begin even the earliest steps of production on the title. Of course, signing it certainly won’t hurt anything.
