Become the Legend that never dies in the UK’s SoulCalibur V tournament

As SoulCalibur V releases next month, Namco Bandai have decided that the games arrival will be the perfect time to find just who is king at SoulCalibur V in the UK.

Those who want the chance for bragging rights (and of course “exciting prizes”) can sign up at the SoulCalibur V launch party at The Chapel Bar in Islington from 12-6pm on Saturday 4th February. Admittance to the tournament will be on a first-come- first-served basis, with a limit of 200 players. And of course, if you need some liquid courage there will be a “limited free bar.”

This will all lead the best players qualifying to take part in the UK finals on March 16th, with the winner awarded the grand distinction of taking part in the European finals in London.

For those who can’t make it to the SoulCalibur V meetup but want to check out their potential online opposition or just want to watch at home, Namco Bandai will be streaming selected matches at http://www.twitch.tv/namcobandaiuk.

It’s not just all about finding the best SoulCalibur V player in the UK though, as Madcatz will be demonstrating their SoulCalibur V Soul Edition arcade sticks and showcasing top UK and French players Ryan Hart (Prodigal Son) and Marie-Laure Norindr (Kayane) skills via giving out tips and taking part in exhibition matches.

The stage of History will be set when SoulCalibur V is released on Xbox 360 and PS3 in the UK on February 3rd 2012.
