2013 may very well go down as the biggest year in history of the Dead or Alive community.
The competition level is at an all time high; the offline tournament scene has been rejuvenated and the series core gameplay has been refined to a point where many of the staunchest detractors of the series have begun to recognize the skill set it takes to reach the upper echelon of the competitive scene.
We've seen new players in XCaLibur BLadeZ; in Electrified Mann; in CrazySteady, cement their names in the top tier discussion.
Contenders from years past like Rikuto, Sweet Revenge and Lopedo who have proven in the biggest matches and on the largest platforms that skill and tactic transcends any kind of generational gap.
Individuals like Mr. Wah, Emperor Cow and Rabies setting the example and proving that you don't have to be a tournament champion, a top level player or event an online regular to contribute positively to this community.
On top of that we've seen a marked change in the general attitudes displayed on this very website. A site which has seen enough technical expansions and upgrades that it in and of itself could be called brand new. As a result, Freestepdodge is increasingly becoming a destination for both the hardcore and the casual, bridging a gap that has long since divided our (not so) little corner of the fighting game community for years.
So…with all of this positive momentum I figured that it was time we started recognizing the best this team of ours has to offer.
Below you will find links to Six separate threads in which you will be asked to nominate and discuss selections for FSD’s inaugural “Steppie Awards”.
Character of the Year
Tournament of the Year
Match of the Year
Online Contributor of the Year
Offline Contributor of the Year
Fighter of the year
You may, if you wish, decide to drop in give your opinion and scoot on out but I encourage you to explain and debate your nomination, as well as those of other FSD participants.
At the end of the week we’ll take all of the nominations for each category and post them into a locked thread.
The voting process will be secret, in that only a select few will know the tally.
The winners will be announced on December 30th!
P.S This is NOT the Royal Rumble....
Keep it clean!
