Fierce uppercuts. Lethal roundhouses. Fireballs into Oblivion. The place was packed wall-to-wall of intense gameplay at Northern California’s premier fighting game tournament – Norcal Regionals. Held November 21-22 at the beautiful Domain Hotel in Sunnyvale CA, just down the street from the historic Sunnyvale Golfland Arcade – the stage was set for some hypeAzifug total DOMINATION!

NCR mark the first time I’ve ever been to a Video Game Tourney of this caliber. And just so you know, NorCal Regional gamers don’t mess around!

The highest level of elite players from all over the country including: EVO top 8 finalists Alex Valle, Ed Ma, Ricky Ortiz, ShadyK, Combofiend, Chunkstah, and West Coast Warzone SF4 champion Marneto…

…were in attendance at the HauteAzifug event. The proof was in the pudding. I honestly don’t know how many people were at the event, but believe me when I say that there were “HELLA people!”

Highlights included: NorCal facing off against SoCal in an all-out grudge match to prove once and for all who was the Best in 2009. Live Streams provided by iPlayWinner. Convention sketch Artist, Jessica Gaona. And last but not least, the chance to meet new people and catch up with old friends at an Event we can all relate to.

All in all, the weekend answered questions to that dying question: Who came out on top? Who would reign supreme? And to find those answers, I highly recommend you heading over to the links below for all the information:
