When I thought that the SSF4 fight club was enough, Capcom decides to throw another terrific event about 2 weeks later! The title of the launch party this time is KILL BIG! which was the name of the charity event that was being hosted. The game that as highlighted? LOST PLANET 2!

Everything from games, self made t-shirts, to skeebal was there in capcom/lost planet fashion. I myself made an awesome si om nom nom t-shirt with a silky silver frame, and a bluish salamander. And of course, the mainstays of unity were there to not only have fun...but cover parts of the event.

Of course, iam8bit was there to distribute/ actually create the wonderful shirts. I hope for the day when the culprits of the past event theft will be found. But enough of that, let's talk about some LP2, which was on very high display here with multiple levels ranging from space, to the deep sea itself.

Besides the terrific free food (yum! PASTA!), many other freebies were to be had, such as numerous sir om nom noms that were given out! I was actually the first to answer a trivia question correct, so I obtained another sir om nom nom that's going to good old unity Mod Toshin, because he asked.

Did I mention Skeeball? For it was quite a delight to see Sir om nom nom immortilized in machine form.

They also had an HD photo booth that allowed participants to not only get a physical Polaroid, but a digital copy as well.

Oh and Olivia Munn herself was there to host the tournament, which got pretty heated in the final rounds. I'll add that Olivia was a lot smaller and skinnier than she was on TV. I guess what they say is true...the camera adds a few pounds.

All in all, it was another terrific capcom event that created even more memories, if only game companies could be as gracious and kind to the fans that love them so much. Both Snow and Jgonzo were terrific to meet and showed such care enthusiasm for the craft.

Did I also mention that sir om nom nom loves Olivia as well? Yea, we all saw this coming a mile away.

After I missed the first fight clubs when SF4 was just starting to get hype, I was a tad bit disappointed and hoped for a future in which I would be able to attend one. Thankfully with the release of super street fighter 4, my 2nd chance came in the form of a fight club/ release party.

My friends and I woke up at around 8:00 or so to suit up and get ready. Even though we weren't the first people in line, we were at least in the top ten.

Getting there early was the easy part...now waiting for about 12 hours...yea, that was trial placed before me. To fly the time away, I brought a DS, a book, and a fully charged ipod to listen to what else? SSF4 tunes. I also brought some essential items for survival, such as food and drink.

While waiting for the inevitable opening of the fight club, I met fellow unity members will , TongariDan, WickedElement, and BigMex just to name a few. I give a special shout out to Will for being generous enough to give me a footlong subway sandwich...who knows what I would have done if I went into the event with an empty stomach.

Towards the end of the day though, the line grew to an immense size and seemed to stretch on forever. I had to say that being near the front had it's perks, one of them being able to not only be close to some fine looking cosplayers...but Daigo/seth as well. I even recorded me shaking Daigo's hand....which I didn't realize I was recording until I looked at the SD.

But enough about what happened outside and before...it's all about what happened inside and after. I was pleasantly surprised by the makeup bar that allowed you to become a bruised up pig....minus the actual brawl.

Besides the bar though, they had a stage for exhibitions, numerous game stations to play super, and an arena made for oil wrestling. Even though the oil wrestling could have used better organization, it was still quite a sight to see.

They even had a booth that digitally imprinted you on a 3D lenticular card, as seen below.

Did I mention that Ono was still awesome? Even after this being the 3rd time I've met him, his enthusiasm as well as his passion for the game never ceases to amaze.

I got him, Seth, and Daigo to sign my SSF4 copy...which just made my night 3x over. Speaking of seth, he was nice enough to take a picture with some of Unity's finest even though he was busy with the event itself. 

Since I was one of the lucky 1st 100, I got myself a kickass poster...and a very...colorful shirt at the end of the fight club.

And yes, that Daigo vs. Justin exhibition was terrific...too bad that I was outside when the amazing double KO happened. All I heard was a crescendoing yell followed by one that was 10x as loud. Thankfully, due to the glory that is the interrnet, I was able to see the amazing match an hour after it had happened.

And oh yes, even though it's hard to tell...seth signed his mug...now...the clones shall be able to identify and copy his John Hancock.

All in all, it was a another outstanding event hosted by the good folks at capcom...the only company I have ever seen that has been this graceful to the fans.
