Help put the Community in Fighting Game Community by volunteering for OzHadou Nationals 15! We’re on the lookout for the many vital hands that help make major tournaments successful in the form of community helpers. Whether it’s running a bracket, packing/unpacking consoles and monitors or supplying setups for the communities to use, any and all help will contribute to making OHN15 the biggest and best it can be.

If you’d like to help make OHN the biggest and best it can be, this form has all the information you need to get involved and of course, register for OHN15 now!

Last weekend, July’s Reload Bar & Games Street Fighter V and Tekken 7 tournaments went down in Canberra. Stick Addiction held the tournament with MAGNUM_Infinity taking out Street Fighter V and Tom walking away victorious in Tekken. Below we have the top 3 placers for both games, full results are also available via the Stick Addiction Facebook page.

Sonic Boom 21 wrapped up last weekend featuring Street Fighter V and the newly released Tekken 7. Street Fighter V was won with Katabami’s Guile/Fang combo and Tekken was taken out by Colonov’s Lars. We’ve got the top 3 for both games below:

Sonic Boom will return in a fortnight.

Things have been a little quiet over the last couple of weeks so we brought on the West Coast’s finest, CoolzInferno, to briefly talk about the Perth scene before diving into a bunch of other amazing tangents that are vaguely related to fighting games. We also stack rank the cities in Australia, so that’s fun!

With a huge influx of new games on the horizon and OHN15 DIY applications now open, we brought in Virtua Fighter Australia’s own MadeMan to talk about how he resurrected the game he loves in 2 separate countries. No matter what scene you’re in, building a community for a game is easier than you think, and we talked all about just what it takes, how much effort goes into running a bracket and not being free WHILE BEING A TO?

We’ve got the top 3 for both games below.

Reload’s monthly returns on Sunday, July 9th.

With the trophy and medal games for OHN15 now officially announced, we’re giving community members one final opportunity to get their game on the event floor for either casual play or a DIY tournament. This year we’ve got a very intimate allocation of setups for smaller titles that are yet to be featured as part of the OHN lineup and we want to hear from communities who’d like to represent their game during OHN15.

You can put in an application for a game you’d like to provide for through this form up until July 7th. Successful applicants will be announced shortly after.

Earlier this week, we announced how the tournament lineup at this year’s OHN will be a little different. Today, we’re incredibly pleased to announce the Medal Game lineup for OzHadou Nationals 15. The lineup is as follows:

• Super Street Fighter II Turbo
• Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike
• The King of Fighters XIV
• Virtua Fighter 5: Final Showdown
• Blazblue: Centralfiction
• Project M
• Super Smash Bros. 64

Register for OHN15 now!

Australia’s FGC is constantly evolving and as such, OHN must evolve with it. At OHN15, we’ll be structuring tournaments a little differently to previous years to best serve all the arms of the community. We’re bringing back the true ‘DIY’ style of tournament absent from OHN14 while also keeping all the new bells and whistles like smash.gg scheduling for each player we had last year. Below is a graphic explaining the different tiers of tournaments at this year’s OHN:

So, what are the Medal and DIY games this year? We’ll have more to announce later this week!

Another successful YSB is in the books as we bid farewell to Street Fighter V 2.0 and finally welcome Tekken 7 and Injustice 2 to the YSB tournament lineup. Thank you as always to everyone who brought gear and helped run things on the day, it helped make the tournament another great day out. Here are the full results from the weekend:

As always, you catch the stream archives over on the OzHadou YouTube page or after the jump. We’ll be back in June, stay tuned!
