This Saturday was the End of Season 2 Event of Friday Night
Fights – the free Fighting Game Community event hosted by Xtreme Gaming
Colchester.
At the end of every Season (16 weeks or so) we hold a
special event with a tournament and give out prizes to the top 3 placed players
as well as a raffle earned through a points based system.
This was my first full season as I joined the first in the
middle and I feel like that made a world of difference.
Season 2 consisted of weekly tournaments of two games Ultra
Street Fighter IV and Skullgirls. I went into the second season feeling a lot
better about my chances as I now had Ultra Street Fighter IV at home and a
decent Fight Pad to hone my skills.
I managed to finish 1st in the 2nd season check out the points break down below it is a league system with points for turning up on each night and for doing well in each tournament.
Season points results:
1) 82 Points, Kinneas
2) 69 Points, DW|Kuniku
3) 37 Points, MOP|C4IQ
2) 69 Points, DW|Kuniku
3) 37 Points, MOP|C4IQ
And I won this for coming 1st.

Xtreme Gaming and Friday Night Fights has been a revelation
for me, a very welcoming community and lots of people to talk to with shared
interests and not just gaming.
You can find out more about Xtreme Gaming here.
The event featured a Mortal Kombat X and Ultra Street
Fighter IV tournament I managed to finish 3rd and 2nd
respectively.
Thanks to the offline practice I’ve been getting I managed to get up the courage to pit my my skills against top ranked UK players at a major tournament next
week.
So definitely consider coming down if you’re based in the
Essex area for a cool free night of Fighting Game Action
