A: Fighting game paraphernalia such as tee shirts, hats, 1-of-a-kind custom fighting game artwork, posters, and more.

If you have any more questions feel free to ask.

50/50 on going. Had to pay a lot of bills this month and need a break after working all week. I'll see what's up though.

Damn, I really did play poorly this time around. Lack of sleep really hurt this time. But it is what it is, I will just make sure I play better at my next tournament. Good games to everyone I played and congratulations to Steady on the win.
