Last but not least I want to thank everyone who attended the event, thanks for your support! The scene is growing because of you guys.
It was a "32 man anything goes hardcore slobber knocker" on Saturday.
The event started at around 3:00p.m. And ended around 8:30p.m.
Turnout was great, we had some awesome matches. J.C., Oscar and the crew were all there filming and doing their thing as they commented on the fights live.
Hopefully we will all see those fights up on www.youtube.com/borderrumble soon.
The Biggest SFIV Event in Laredo History is just around the corner!

J.C. Wrote: 3 Videos are now online at: www.youtube.com/LeCrow
Featuring commentary from YetiAntics & the debut of Mr LeCrow. A hopeful addition to the SSFIV community. The three matches are as follows:
MIKEYBOY956 v XxSynxX (Qtr Finals)
XxSynxX v dragula96 (Semifinals)
dragula96 v Victor (Finals)
Thanks for the contribution guys!
More footage might be on its way thanks to Alex Benitz (XxTano87xX) who had a handy cam and his PS3 at the scene which saved us from having to just play with the default unlocked characters.
Joel Sauceda (Kasprarov 2851) was keeping tabs on player win/losses to update the player rankings list (thanks buddy).
Now for the Tournament Results:
Dragula96 Took home First Prize while
Victor T. came in a very very close second.
Julio De Hoyos (XxSynxX) placed 3rd.
Here are the Player ratings (before and After) list for the people that participated at this Tourney that Joel composed.
Joel Sauceda (Kasparov 2851) has started Working on a SFIV Ratings system Based on the ELO system for Chess. This is a very Accurate System used to rate Tournament 2 Player Games.
So Far based on some of the information I have provided him with (3 past tournament Results) he will calculate each participant based on his/her Performance.
There will be 3 Separate Ratings List, Live Tournaments, PSN Tournaments, and XBL Tournaments.
I currently put up the XBL Tournament List, which is based on This past Sundays online Tournament.
The Live Ratings (physical Tournaments) will be put up within the next few days.
Please head over to www.tinyurl.com/lsfiv-player-ratings to check out the most current ratings.
Just as a heads up for those of you that don't currently own Street fighter IV, the public library has some copies for both PS3 and 360, you can check them out for 7 days with a library card. Best if all is for free!
Capcom has revealed the final new character for Super Street Fighter IV, and he's ... well, he's a giant dude covered in oil. Like, Hakan actually oils himself up before each round. This has the aesthetic effect of being extraordinarily off-putting, and the functional effect of allowing him to slide across the stage as if it were the Crocodile Mile. And since he's a grappling-type character, you get these really great squishing noises whenever he grabs another character.
