Month: January 2018

This past weekend, one of the largest anime tournaments celebrated a decade of competition as Frosty Faustings X played host to a whopping 25 official titles in Elmhurst, Illinois.

While Arc System Work’s Guilty Gear Xrd REV 2 and BlazBlue: Central Fiction received top billing, this was also one of the first American majors for the newly-released and rebalanced Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition, as well as being the home of NetherRealm Studios, guaranteeing some stellar Injustice 2 action as well.

With the likes of Echo Fox|SonicFox, EG|NYChris G, PG|Punk, Marlinpie, Coach Steve and KitanaPrime, Wong Nation’s LostSoul, Circa|ForeverKing, Nicky, Wolfkrone, and JoeyD, Method|Flux, Japanese Jam God Teresa, BjornSonOfBear, /r/Kappa|KizzieKay, BloodWolf, Lab Zero’s Mike Z, ElvenShadow, SRK’s own Woocash, F3|Alucard, and many more in attendance, every game was filled to the brim with killers. You can catch replays of the games Team Spooky streamed here.
