*Event post will be updated

 

Yes. I read somewhere that Dural was allowed at Sega cup or something? So that's what I based my decision off of. It's up to the community if you guys want Dural in or not.

 

UPDATE
*Dural is now banned
The event will be streamed live at twitch.tv/attackingfromdisadvantage

I literally have never played in a tournament with character lock. There's only like 10 characters in this game lol

 

The character lock rule has magically vanished from the ruleset..

Come get down in some VF action!
