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?

Canberra’s monthly 3D6 tournament returned last weekend, welcoming in the newly released Tekken 7 as well as Street Fighter V’s newest patch featuring Ed.

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:

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!

OzHadou are incredibly pleased to announce that OzHadou Nationals 15 will be featured as part of the Tekken World Tour 2017 tour as a Challenger event. Placing top 8 in Tekken 7 at OHN15 (September 15-17) will net you ranking points that may help you earn a spot in the TWT final at the year’s end. Tekken’s 7 console release is a monumental event over 2 years in the making and we’re incredibly pleased to celebrate this launch with this added incentive for competitors. Will you be the one to take home the big prize?
