« WCG FIGHTER CLUB: SETH AND GOUKEN BANNED! »

So this is interesting, World Cyber Games is throwing an event just for fighting games in New York City on April 25-26th. The games featured are Soul Calibur IV, Virtua Fighter 5, Dead or Alive and of course.. Street Fighter 4! The only thing is for Street Fighter 4 both Seth and Gouken are banned!

If you're not aware, yes both Seth and Gouken are boss characters in Street Fighter 4 but neither of them are completely overpowered. Beyond that, we have yet to see a Seth or Gouken win any major tournaments at this point! I am not sure what the line of thinking is behind banning these two characters but this isn't the first time this has come up. So far we've seen that many tournaments being thrown by organizers not heavily into the scene will end up banning both characters and even El Fuertes Run Stop Fierce Loop.

Either way it should be an awesome event with so many fighting games on display and  $500 on the line for each game. So if you're in NYC you should go check it out if you're even somewhat competitive in any of those games.
