The first NorCalibur gathering has ended. GG to everybody who showed up, especially vibratingsheep for helping with the audio/commentary (again! you saved us.) Also shoutouts to @MarkMan for linking the stream! 200 viewers and hopefully more to come... those of you who watched the stream, hoped you enjoyed it!

 For those of you who missed it, check out the stream archive here: http://www.twitch.tv/norcalibur
 There was a bit of microphone audio problems early in the stream, so sorry about that.

Algol, Edgemaster, and Devil Jin!

New official trailer featuring Algol, Edgemaster, and CAS style Devil Jin!

Hardcore fans of Tekken 3 should see the throwback to a certain Jin d/f+1 glitch.

Official SC5 Prerelease party in San Francisco!

Great party by namco. They also ended it with a bang by having 8 players from the Soul Calibur community play in an exhibition, single elimination tournament. Here's the archive of the stream!

And here's a video I'v taken of the ground level fun during the event:
