#EVO #UNI2 #inbirth

The primary goal of this project has always been to celebrate our community. That being said, if you are an event organizer in NA, please reach out to me and/or @chainshiftevents.bsky.social.

I'd love to promote your scene too at #ChainShift2025.

@socalcolosseum.bsky.social #82 - Friday nights in Irvine, CA

#ChainShift2025 is a love letter to our FGC locals. My goal this month is to highlight what makes our events special & how there's so much to be seen beyond the livestreams.

Why have I been saying the full phrase "command grab" all these years like a sucker, it takes so long, so many mouth muscle movements. The better contraction is so obvious: Command + gRAB = CRAB. I crabbed em. Ya got crabbed. You got a real big crab problem buddy. Quit gettin crabs all the time

The events aren't over yet! SoCal TEKKEN Locals is ending the year with our annual 3v3 exhibition match between our Orange County local, Chains of Fate Monthly, and our Arcadia local, Side Step Saturday.

Register for double elimination bracket: start.gg/CoFMonthly

(LEFT TO RIGHT) The Bandai Namco game director and producer for TEKKEN 8, Katsuhiro Harada -- Event organizer and Global Finals attendee, SoCal SUMA -- TEKKEN Project chief game director and producer, Kohei "Nakatsu" Ikeda. All three men are posing their fists up at shoulder-level. The text reads, "TEKKEN WORLD TOUR 2024 GLOBAL FINALS -- DEC 08,2024 -- BELLESALLE SHIBUYA FIRST -- SHIBUYA, TOKYO, JAPAN"

A crowd of attendees watching as the TEKKEN World Tour Global Finals Top 8 unfold. Among them is a man dressed as King wearing a jaguar wrestling mask. The text reads, "TEKKEN WORLD TOUR 2024 GLOBAL FINALS -- DEC 08,2024 -- BELLESALLE SHIBUYA FIRST -- SHIBUYA, TOKYO, JAPAN"

A row of TEKKEN pachislot machines lined up for display. Each machine has a white placard that lists its model on their respective fronts. The text reads, "TEKKEN WORLD TOUR 2024 GLOBAL FINALS -- DEC 08,2024 -- BELLESALLE SHIBUYA FIRST -- SHIBUYA, TOKYO, JAPAN"

SoCal SUMA seated on Reina Mishima's throne. He has his left ankle crossed over his right knee and is adjusting his glasses with his left hand. The text reads, "TEKKEN WORLD TOUR 2024 GLOBAL FINALS -- DEC 08,2024 -- BELLESALLE SHIBUYA FIRST -- SHIBUYA, TOKYO, JAPAN"

I have returned back home! Traveling to Japan for the first time was a very eye-opening experience. I'm glad I was able to be there for the first #TEKKEN 8 champion and support my friends at the Last Chance Qualifiers. Looking forward to our community plans for 2025!

#TWT2024

Gonna look at my options while I'm out there!

No new major player/region rivalries have been established at this time but Tatakai Tuesday just concluded with EDGE (Hwoarang) taking first & Super Akouma (Lee) taking second.

More players are slowly flying in to Japan, with Pakistan landing only a few hours ago.

BNE has recently announced their qualifying players for both Regional & Global Leaderboard players. They're just short player summaries though, no big media interviews yet.

A photo of SoCal SUMA's personal arcade stick. In the top-left corner, text reads "Post-Clean". Photos and stickers underneath the plexiglass represent some of his interests such as: - Chains of Fate Monthly - New York City TEKKEN - Battle Lounge - A sticker that reads "I WANT TO BEARLIEVE" as Kuma flies over a forest - A photostrip of SoCal SUMA and his girlfriend

A photo of a blue and pink arcade button. The text in the top-left corner reads, "Crown SDB-202 30mm w/ Arcade Shock plunger inserts".

A photo of SoCal SUMA's personal arcade stick disassembled with screw-on buttons and plexiglass removed from the metal body. The text in the top-right corner reads, "Main Clean".

Preparing for my Japan flight for #TWT2024 Global Finals by making sure my gear is well maintained. I'm also contemplating switching out my black buttons for matte white. What do you guys think? 🤔

(2 of 3) Geno opens a jar of Hongthai and sniffs it. Conflict220 is in the background unaware.

(3 of 3) Geno is overpowered by the strong smell of Hongthai and physically reels back in response. Conflict220 is in the background unaware.
