My how times flies when you're having fun! We are back at it again for a 18th year and we aren't stopping anytime soon! There's 6 months until FINAL ROUND XVIII and the event will be here before you know it. Of course I personally would like to thank everyone in the FGC and the sponsors that have supported FINAL ROUND throughout the years because without you guys there wouldn't be any FINAL ROUND or scene! Online Registration for your games are up now and we are running an early bird registration special right now so get it while you can!

All team/Community ran events will be must held on Friday March 20 as this is the only day we have available to run them in a timely manner. All team/exhibitions/community events must get approved by ME to be ran at FR18 period! Any "Community event" will be ran by the communities that requested their game to be played at FR18. Remember that Community event doesn't mean it won't happen. If I allow it at FR then it's a tournament regardless of the label. Hence the name EVENT in the title. We would just need some help with the systems/games and you will have an area to play and run the tournament. All community events registration will be at the door only.

Team/exhibitions/community events that are confirmed as of now are as followed:

Of course we are going to bring back the popular series "CURLEY MUSTACHE BATTLE ROYALE" 5v5 team Regional tournament. The hype of FR + CM is too powerful and I know there will be more regions/teams allowed this year! More details coming soon for this instant classic!

Project M
VF5US
BB
P4U2
MvC2
ST - in the arcade room
3S - in the arcade room

We will have a BYOC room for people to play casuals during the event that spectators can play also. We will also have a FINAL ROUND Arcade thanks to Tony Majors. The same guy who brought the arcade to TFC is packing up his gear and driving to the ATL so everyone can enjoy the acrade scene! Here's a small list of games that will be at FR18:

Street Fighter 2 Super Turbo - on h2h Japanese cabinets
Street Fighter 3: 3rd strike - on h2h Japanese cabinets
Street Fighter Alpha 2 - on American stand up cab with Sanwa parts
Capcom VS SNK 2 - Japanese cab
Marvel VS Capcom 2 - Japanese cab
Samurai Showdow 2 - American stand up cab Japanese parts
Double Dragon!!!!!!!!!!!!!
and many more.

As always I really don't want people to forget the origins of the FGC, so having some type of link to the past is important to me and the arcade is where this community came from. Spectators can play casuals in the arcade.

We will have multiple streams for FR18 for those that can not attend FR18 to get a small taste of the event. We are glad to have the following streamers for FR18:

Stream #1= Team Spooky - http://www.twitch.tv/teamsp00ky


Stream #2= FunkyP - http://www.twitch.tv/funkyp


Anime = http://www.twitch.tv/sixfortyfive


Injustice = Kombatnetwork - http://www.twitch.tv/kombatnetwork



We will have more updates as the months pass by so keep your eyes open for the goodies in future post! Man how times flies when you're having fun! I can't wait to see everyone and again and hopefully meet some new players in the FGC at FR18. It's on now shawty! See you guys in march.

Edited the font color as it's a little difficult to read on the Light forum skin.

Will try to make this but @ShinBlanka can we run this on one of the next gen systems if DoA5 Last Round launches in time?

If possible, will this be ran on either Xbox One or PS4 (If Last Round is released in time)?

The tentative date I saw for LR was 3/31/15. FR18 ends on the 22nd! I will definitely try to make this one! (Btw, that was an amazing tournament! Congratulations to Kwiggles, but to all whom participated!)

yeah just noticed the old ultimate ver., there so do they mean Last Round to played at the Final Round lol ,crappy joke there.

Considering Last Round has been announced for February, I'm sure Final Round will be hosting Last Round. @ShinBlanka

The only thing unsure of at this point is the tournament console.

that is true, a lot of community members have said that most of the them the community will play doa5lr on PlayStation 4 but then again its up to the final round staff, or who ever is in charge of the DOA scene there. I guess what I am trying to say is I am just unsure as much as you are, Xbox one maybe I just don't know my self, i guess what ever way they decide to go I am game all the way. I hope to make it out there next year first time in the east coast .

If it's out on Xbox one before FR18 then that will be the system of choice.
wow I guess I have to buy a new fight stick again its OK but it sucks. No I wont dual mod, does devices give out I remember this one time a couple of months pass. some dude from Best of the battle in San Jose was using a modded stick it was so bad that it mead my stick lag and messed up my inputs on my stick, sucks. But yeah its cool no prob, plus first party's like Sony and Microsoft block many devices like that with there recent OS updates on there systems. yeah fight stick only, no pad warrior here lol no offense to those players that do used them.

Had to cut into tournament funds for a situation, so I didn't register like I had planned to before. I'm going to register by the end of the month or the 1st week of February. Along with my hotel fee. Also, I'm looking for a good converter. I found one, but it's like $40 on Amazon. If anyone finds a decent one cheaper, please let me know. Thanks in advance.

Or, you know, the worst idea ever.

As pretty much every poll we've done has shown.

If that's all he's got, then that's all he's got. Can't complain too much this early into the new generation. But its definitely not community choice.
