Hadouken: LA Riots III – Sunday March 28th – Pasadena, CA

The most exclusive tournament in the country is back and you can watch it live and in person this Sunday at Jake’s Burgers & Billards in Pasadena, CA.  As you may recall, Jake’s was the home of Bar Fights I and II and we are excited to have another SF4 event there.

The competition promises to be fierce and we have some new faces that are making their LA Riots debut.  Filling in for Alex Valle and Justin Wong who can’t make it due to prior obligations are OnlineTony213, SoCal’s best Seth player and Hugo101, SoCal’s best M. Bison player!  These guys, along with Shizza and Combofiend are representing the Inner City.  Check out the gorgeous poster here!

This tournament is up for grabs and you do not want to miss out!  We are only selling a limited number of tickets due to the small size of the venue.  If you went to Bar Fights I or II you know how packed it was and you also know how awesome it was to be in the main room where all the matches were played.  This time we are limiting it to ONE ROOM ONLY!  In the past we filled up all three rooms and I believe the experience was best for those in the main room so we are focusing all of our efforts on just one room.

We are also deciding not to stream the event due to bandwidth limitations at Jake’s (it is a bar, after all).  We will be recording the matches and releasing them after the event though, so don’t worry if you don’t live nearby or can’t get tickets, you’ll be able to watch it afterwards.  But the only way you’ll be able to see it live is in person!

The first round matches are:

  • Shizza (Chun Li) vs. Keno (Balrog) – LA Riots I rematch: Keno – 1, Shizza – 1
  • Kai (El Fuerte) vs. Combofiend (Abel/Cammy) – LA Riots I & II rematch: Combofiend – 1, Kai – 1
  • Mike Ross (E. Honda) vs. Hugo101 (M. Bison) – Bar Fights @ Hooters rematch
  • OnlineTony (Seth) vs. Ken I (Rufus/Akuma)

Prizes
1st Place gets $500 cash
2nd 3rd and 4th get Mad Catz Fight Sticks
5th-8th get to try again next time!

Distribution Methods

As I mentioned in the LA Riots I post, we are trying out different distribution models for LA Riots and this is an opportunity to try another one.  I found out yesterday that there is a 3 GB file size limit for all the torrents on MiniNova.  LA Riots II is 3.4 GB, putting it well over the limit.  Because of that, LA Riots is available to download in two forms: free via Bit Torrent and via direct download for $2.99. If you don’t want to download the whole thing, it’ll be on YouTube soon so sit tight.

Free Bit Torrent Download

As with LA Riots I, Bar Fights II and Arturo vs. Daigo: Match of 2009, LA Riots II is available for download via Bit Torrent for free.  Unfortunately, as I mentioned above, the file size limit is 3GB, so I had to split it into two torrents.
Download Part I
Download Part II

Direct Download

Also available for your convenience is a direct download option for $2.99, which means you:

  • don’t have to mess around with the downsides of Bit Torrent (firewalls, slow download speeds, BT clients)
  • get LA Riots II in one big file instead of having to wait to download it from two separate torrents
  • directly support LA Riots and help us cover our costs which will allow us to do future LA Riots events
