Sorry for the lack of news lately. Life got onto us, but we will be posting about this year weekly contest in the next few weeks.

Next one will happen in March. I will do it once every two months and bring it to other cities too. Till we get women playing FGs comfortably and being respected by their local scene.

This last Saturday was the best day of my life.

It is today. We will be live at TrtChamp twitch channel at 2 pm EST!

Adventure Island is a bit too easy to be a contest game. Only option is to play 1 life only.

There will be, yes. And it will go unclaimed because you all are uglier than Godzilla fighting King Kong.

We are still planning it and will announce all the details through the course of January. Stay tuned!

I didn't steal that car! I... borrowed it without asking it's owners!

https://www.espn.com.br/esports/artigo/_/id/6463636/torneio-feminino-de-street-fighter-v-quer-dar-experiencia-competitiva-as-jogadoras ESPN Brazil just wrote an article about it.

Treta Championship and I are hosting a Street Fighter V tournament aimed to introduce fighting games to women and help strengthen the female fighting games scene in the country; The Fight Like a Girl tournament will an offline tournament hosted in Curitiba, Brazil and will take place on January 25th. There will be prize money and trophies for the top 3. Women of all skill levels around the city have been invited to participate. With luck, we will have some off state players too. It will be streamed live at Treta's twitch channel. I will be helping run the tournament and commentating the matches:

I have simple goals for the start of this new decade. Help with the growth of the female Fighting games esports scene here in Brazil, for which I already took the first step by helping organize a women's only SFV tournament that will take place on the 25th of January: Become a more relevant Street Fighter player till a younger woman achieve my skill level and take over. Never look at any kind of software development ever again Get back to travel abroad. There are so many places in the world I need to see. Remain able to lift over my head and throw objects and men up to 150~180 pounds of weight Maybe find a nice woman my age and settle down. Adopt two kids in 2030.

I have been playing a whole lot of Street Fighter 5 in my quest to git gud. I am consistently getting top 8s at my locals. Next I have to get top 3s consistently.

This port is a technical marvel, but overall it was a pretty terrible port of the best Alpha series game. It is playable, but the balance isn't arcade perfect. Fun for some casual playing time.

We weren't planning on that to happen this year, but the forum thing mess screwed up our timing. I will make sure that the final week doesn't happen on Thanksgiving next year.

Fixed that.

Congratulations to @bertsampson for being the very first VGS Weekly Contest champion! And for @Tablew/chairs for putting such a valiant attempt and ending up 2nd. @skinnygrinny ends up with a worthy 3rd place after all his hard work through the year. Thank you all for participating and for sticking around after the turbulent times we had right before the tournament. And a very special thanks to my pal @guillavoie for practically running the tournament on his own as life got really complicated on my end the last few weeks. We will be back for 2020 with more weekly gaming goodness to entertain you all through the year. You're all the best!

@Bearcat-Doug ain't you that guy that couldn't get under 10K at DD2 low score? Thought so.

Ain't any of you will put a challenge to Bert? For shame!

I will update the scoreboard tonight. Keep posting them scores!

Think of the fat 15 tournament points and you will do it in no time!

We should just do that. 999,990 will be the max someone can score at balloon trip. 999,990 will be worth fat 15 points on the tournament. So git gud and get 999,990!

I failed you all with this rule set. I failed the weekly contest.

Yeah, if you have a video to validate your run, it will be alright.

Yeah, my bad. I shouldn't have asked for continuous runs, but instead for single times for each race.
