The Arkansas Special – January Edition

Proudly Presented by The Arkansas Fighting Game Network and The Mizewell Gaming League

Full event page can be found at smash.gg/TAS

The Arkansas Special is a monthly fighting game tournament series designed to showcase some of the best talent in the region. The game listing changes every month and features some games which will appear in every iteration of the series and some games that will appear less frequently (so as not to conflict with other events). Almost every new classical fighting game will be featured at upcoming events, so please look forward to competing with other people when those release! The game listing for the following month’s tournament will always appear at the bottom of the the details below so everyone will have time to prepare for their favorite game.

Every tournament will have a full ranking associated with it. This will -ONLY- take into account matches played at The Arkansas Special and is not intended to compete with any PR or other type of ranking. Players at the top of their game will be featured in promotional material and prizes will be given to those who can maintain top status in their game for an extended period of time.

Don’t see your game listed or want to do a special event like an exhibition or team tournament? Talk to the tournament organizers and we’ll see what we can do to make it happen! This is a community event run BY the community and FOR the community, so we want to do what we can to earn everyone’s support!

ARK IV (Sponsored by The Traveling Circus) 9/17-18/11 Feat. Marn and EG. JWong Results

First off, I’d like to give a big thank you to our sponsors. THEY are what pushed the tournament over the edge for many of our attendees and for that, we’re thankful.

The Traveling Circus

Please visit these guys at http://thetravelingcircus.net/. They provided amazing apparel at the tournament that people were dying to get their hands on. When we ran out of their shirts, you guys wanted more so we at ARK IV decided we’ll give you more.

BONUS OFFER

If you visit their site (http://thetravelingcircus.net/) and comment below with your favorite shirt style (i.e. PHX – White) then for one lucky winner, we’ll BUY YOU THAT SHIRT and ship it to you FREE OF CHARGE. Throw in how much you like The Traveling Circus for bonus points :D. This is open to EVERYONE so even if you didn’t show up to the event, you may still win a shirt from The Traveling Circus on us! Find out if you’re a winner via our Twitter @ARKTourney! The winner will be announced one week from today.

Funimation

You guys know who Funimation is. Big thanks to Funimation for providing awesome swag that people really wanted. Big fist shake to EG. Justin Wong for taking the furry girl towel and the ninja girl wall scroll. Visit these guys at http://www.funimation.com/!

Verizon

These guys provided the Sony Xperia Play for our raffle. I don’t know what more I can say about them that you don’t already know, but Little Rock Verizon has been very supportive of the gaming community. With the help of the Arkansas Fighting Game Network, they’ve launched many events for gaming-related smartphones and I’m sure there will be more down the line. Please subscribe to our blog for more updates on gaming-related Verizon giveaways in the area!

Rebel Son Management and Entertainment

It’s likely that these guys will become one of THE premiere event and entertainment providers in the South in the very near future. They’re up-and-coming but trust me when I say to watch out for their future events. They’ll be partnering with us again for ARK V so Like them on Facebook here to keep up to date with what’s in store on that front!

Shadaloo.EU

These guys are the primary company behind our Twitter promotion and they have some SICK apparel and fight-stick related equipment. Check out their site at Shadaloo.EU and grab a stick-belt so that you don’t have to lug your stick around!
