Smash tournaments tend to be pretty self-sufficient and independent of the rest of the FGC, as they’ve proved for themselves over the past 10 years. The two communities had very little crossover until Evo 2013, where they were heavily showcased. Since then, aside from the annual Evo there have been a few events scattered across the calendar, like CEO/Apex, or the handful of local venues around the country. Though the communities are distinct, with culture and identity very unique to each group, more and more events are beginning to bring the two under the same roof. An upcoming event in November, Kings of the North, is the next to chip in at the monumental task of bridging the gap between these two communities.
At Kings of the North, Street Fighter V, Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3, and Guilty Gear Xrd -Revelator- are featured; something noteworthy, since it was an event that focused exclusively on Smash in the past. These games are, of course in addition to Melee, Super Smash Bros. for Wii U, and Project M. Not only are these games considered main games, along with Melee and Smash 4, SFV is getting a $1000 pot bonus! The event is November 19-20, in Wisconsin.

Companies polling fans to decide their next step with a product isn’t particularly new. We’ve had character polls before, with Capcom or NeatherRealms gauging interest on potential roster members. Even Lab Zero did this, back during the fundraising campaign they did for Skullgirls DLC characters. Despite being nothing new, the recent poll by Lab Zero and Autumn Games is a little different. They’re asking if we would like a physical copy of their flagship indie fighter, Skullgirls.
Japanese fans already have a physical release of the game, provided by AkSys, and since then Lab Zero has been very receptive of US fans asking for the same. This poll has two options on it: Would you buy a physical release with Japanese voices, and if you would buy one without them. I’m rooting for the option to switch between US and JPN voices, as the JPN voices are completely new additions that are currently only available on Japanese discs. For now, we’ll just have to wait and see what comes of this poll.
Check out Lab Zero’s new poll on Facebook here.
