« Interview with TriForce of Empire Arcadia, New York Times article on Chinatown Fair »

RawGamePlay's Michael Hurdle caught up with TriForce after the premier of The King of Chinatown and asks some questions on the drama surrounding Empire Arcadia. What I found most interesting about this interview is how EMP seems to be looking past Street Fighter 4 and sees Marvel vs Capcom 3 as the game where players will truly have to prove themselves. 

On a somewhat related note, there is an article on the New York Times website -- yes, the New York Times -- about Chinatown Fair Arcade.  Here is a small excerpt, check the rest of the article here.

Sanford Kelly, 22, from the Bronx, looks relaxed in thick glasses and an all-black ensemble. “I’m basically the best guy on the East Coast right now,” he says.

Mr. Kelly is a professional gamer; he lives off the earnings of playing (and winning) in tournaments across the country. He is talking to a white-haired man in a Harlem Globetrotters jersey, Jake Morris. Mr. Morris’s son, another hard-core gamer named Lincoln (a k a Dragon), is around the corner by the Bowery avoiding his dad. Mr. Morris, 57, says he had heard that Mr. Kelly was blacklisted from a recent tournament, apparently because he had won so many times that others felt it wouldn’t be a fair fight.

“I read that on the blogs,” he says, sympathetically.
