Photos from Shoryuken forum troll, ohgee, snapped the photo above of a new Street Fighter 4 tournament stick design. It looks like Madcatz and GameStop will be pushing out more tournament stick and gamepad designs for you fighting game junkies. For more photos of the new designs, go past the break. There is also a (Disney/)Marvel VS Capcom 2 design.

Coming soon to MvC2 - Disney character assists

An appropriate placement of the XBOX buton for the Viper design.

Another very appropriate place for that XBOX button on that Cammy design

Capcom will be selling stuff

In Capcoms debut PAX appearance, Capcom will be coming out of the gate with an exclusive tournament stick and a Street fighter 4 T-Shirt. If you don’t have a PAX ticket, then you’re already shit out of luck.

The Street Fighter 4 tournament stick will feature the women from SF4 and have a purple trim for your girly, gay, or metro side of you.

The other item they will be selling is a different color combination of a unique SF4 shirt design. The shirt is designed to look like an old boxing match flier between Vega and Balrog. The color combination might be a gray background with blue ink.

The tournament stick will be going for a wallet burning $159.99. We aren’t sure yet on the price of the shirt. If you want any of these limited edition items, get your butt over to the Capcom booth early.

Oh and if you see some guy demo-ing Monster Hunter, tell him “Jamie isn’t even being cool anymore.”

Paradise Hills Showdown 3.1 – Photos and 1v1 Finals Video

Nelson — Wed, 15 Jul 2009 01:32:22 +0000

To sum up Paradise Hills Showdown 3.1 in one word, it would be unexpected. When I found out that the tournament was going to be held at someones house a.k.a “dojo”, already my mind was prepared for a small tournament with less than 20 people. When entering the “dojo” 2 hours late, there was a lot more than 20 people. There was so many people that a full bracket of 64 players were signed up and playing. Inside the family room, there where 4 TVs and 4 PS3s setup. In the backyard, there were 3 more TVs and PS3s. The place was filled with that competitive “smell” and excitement.

People from all over southern California came down to the event for the fun and excitement. But what were all these fighters playing for? $400 in cash. Go past the break to watch the Grand 1v1 Finals between Somuchdamage (Los Angeles) and ShadyK (San Diego) and photos from the event.
