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

Hadouken: LA Riots II Results & Wrap-Up

Unexpected results, great matches and plenty of surprises, LA Riots 2 was quite a show!  Here are the quick results:

  1. Alex Valle (Ryu)
  2. Shizza (Chun Li)
  3. Ken I (Rufus)
  4. Kai (El Fuerte)

Those players are invited back for LA Riots III which will be announced soon.

5. Combofiend
5. Keno
7. Yeb
7.  Jayce the Ace

These players are eliminated and won’t be in LA Riots III unless they make Top 4 at the next Bar Fights qualifying tournament which will be announced soon as well.  :)

Shizza had a great run, defeating Ken I in winners and losers bracket as well as LA Riots I winner Combofiend.  Combofiend was then eliminated by Kai’s El Fuerte, extracting some revenge for losing to Combofiend last time.

Jayce the Ace, who was a last minute addition, subbing in for Shady K, put on a good show but unfortunately went 2 and out against Combofiend and Ken I.  Yeb also went 2 and out, losing to Keno in winners.  Thanks to those guys for playing, better luck next time!

Wrap-Up Posts & Images

Please check out Xensin’s flickr for pictures and Coin-Op TV for their wrap-up.  Thank you to TheStream.tv for having us, Coin-Op TV for production assistance and interviews and Mad Catz for kindly providing stick prizes for the winners!  :)

Hadouken: LA Riots II: Saturday January 16th at 2PM!


LA Riots, SoCal’s most exclusive high-level tournament, is back again for round 2!  This time, we have three new competitors, as well as five returning ones to complete the line-up (and one guy who got eliminated and then got his spot back!).

New Players

The new additions to the LA Riots line-up were the Top 4 finalists from Bar Fights @ Hooters last month, where Alex Valle, SoCal’s #1 player, defeated Our Hero Ken I, the Legend of the Orange Sweatshirt to win his spot at LA Riots II.

Also joining them, from way down south, San Diego’s favorite sons ShadyK and Yeb!  ShadyK, who teamed up with LA Riots I competitor and Arcade Infinity Ranking Battle Season 3 point leader ComboJack this past weekend at The Box Arena’s Duael 2v2 and placed 2nd out of 42 other teams. His Akuma placed 5th at Evo 2009, so we’re really excited for his LA Riots debut!

Yeb beasted his way to LA Riots II by placing 4th at Bar Fights @ Hooters last month, beating out over 60 other competitors with his infamous Gen to secure his spot at LA Riots II.

Returning Players

Ken I, who went 0-2 last time with Akuma and was eliminated, is back because he got 2nd Place at Bar Fights @ Hooters last month. His Rufus came really close to beating Alex Valle’s Ryu in the Grand Finals, but ultimately Valle clutched it out for the win.

LA Riots I winner Combofiend, is back to defend his title and see if he can make it two LA Riots wins in a row with Abel. He and Valle teamed up this past weekend at The Box Arena’s Duael 2v2 to win the whole thing. Thank you to The Box Arena for letting me do commentary with Viscant and Killer Kai, it was a lot of fun as always! If you haven’t been to one of The Box Arena’s events at the Miramar Speed Circuit, you should go because in addition to a fun tournament, there is also go kart racing, which is where the Our Hero, Ken I image came from.

Keno has been doing well for himself recently, placing 7th with teammate Mike Ross this weekend at Duael. Last time he was sleep-deprived from The Specialists event at House of Cicada in Moreno Valley, CA and STILL managed to get 2nd, losing only to Combofiend with Balrog.

Kai’s El Fuerte is sure to be a crowd pleaser, as he had an exciting run last time, defeating Shizza’s Chun Li and Combojack’s Sagat to finish 3rd. He recently got 4th place this weekend at Arcade Infinity’s Ranking Battle #3.2, beating out over 50 other competitors, including Ken I, owning him pretty hard with a double Perfect in Top 8, something I don’t think I’ve ever seen before.

Finally, Shizza, the up and comer from the inner city, is back with his Chun Li. He placed Top 8 at the Bar Fights @ Hooters tournament and he is the only pad player on the line-up. If you play on pad in favor of a joystick, this kid should be your role model!

Live On Saturday at 2PM

We’ll be streaming live on TheStream.tv, starting at 2PM. If you missed the first LA Riots, you can download the first half via Bit Torrent or Hotfile.

Commentary will be provided by myself, Mike Ross and West Coast Warzone co-director John Rog!
