Hey everyone,

With the recent good news of MK trilogy/Injustice and KI being present at a new weekly in the US, I thought now would be a great time to see if people are interested in bringing back the games we love here in the UK again.

Killer instinct is looking to have a great start here, with quite a hefty number of eager players playing online, attending London casuals, and expressing interest in the tournament at Namco funscape London next month. (http://unequalledmedia.com/ki/ <- Info for the tournament found here)

Injustice obviously still has quite a decent online scene of players, many of which message me personally asking about tournaments that might be around, and obviously I keep having to tell them there is nothing coming up in the near future, and to my surprise, I get possibly more of these kinds of messages regarding MK, as it seems to be the more popular of the two over here.

Considering all 3 games have players, and now the best possible venue for monthlies/bi monthlies has been well established in London (the heart of gaming) it seems the obvious plan to simply host our own tournaments for our own games there.

This thread is purely to see if there is any interest at all in bringing MK back, kicking Injustice into gear again, and help KI have an even healthier start than it already has, let's get some discussion going on what you guys would want in a tournament in order to get down to one here!

The heart of gaming has a venue entrance fee, and you would pay tournament entry to each game you wanted to enter, that's all, no hidden fees, alot of parking, easy access via tube, and they have all the setups we'd need already there.

I am super serious about this, it will be co hosted by Ketchup also, but obviously I will only do so if the numbers are there.

Let's discuss, I miss all you guys!

I support this proposal 100%
It's saddening that our fgc for MK/Injustice is so small, compared to that or America or Japan.
Just tell me the dates and I'll be there 100%!

Obviously there would be no dates at all right now, I'm just trying to see if there are enough people to warrant me setting this up! :)

Also Japan doesn't have a scene for MK or Injustice nor did it ever as far as I'm aware :p

I meant like an FGC in general, ours is like.. A midgets dick compared to theirs, which is like a monster cock.
Also, in regards to setting it up, I'd be happy to help organise it since I live locally to HoG.

When it comes to size, I'm pretty certain the UK isn't even as large as Miami, or some state in the US haha.

Hope to see some of you guys get involved, we need to come together and support our games!

Are ya' ready for MK11 kids?!
I don't mean to be the elephant in the room but, what kind of numbers would be considered serviceable? I've kinda conditioned myself to anticipate MK10, but I still feel there's a lot of gray areas to go over in previous MK games and wouldn't say no myself, just sayin' though.

>>R2 - BF4 = Unblockable.
Consider me signed up for Injustice, I will play MK too, but I'm not playing it regularly anymore. I'll go ahead and tag @Shadow316 for this too, I don't have an Xbox one so am not playing KI. I was just thinking this past week of setting something up like this up, great minds @PND_Mustard :)

Get staffed bro
Hey all, it's been a while.

I'd be up for it, mainly as I've been planning on a HoG visit anyway since it's been a while. I don't really play any fighting games currently since I sold my 360 to part fund my PS4. I'm quite liking the look of KI but can't justify getting an XBone for essentially one game.

I may try and get into Guilty Gear Xrd but imagine it will suffer from low player numbers.

Playing some battlefield 4 on PS4 if anyone is up for it? Hopefully onto Destiny once it's out too.
